    well if all things pan out, I decided to scrap my last project and flip over to an all out audio build again.
    The previous build still allowed some space for 2 passengers and had removebale foam type seats that could be switched out when camping for the engel fridge.

    New build will most likely be a no wall setup, 4 15 Shok elite x angle faced to Fit across facing forward with the port facing up in the rear. There will be 14 inches from head liner down and will be under the window line.

    Power? For now it will most likely be the new soundigital evo2 12k.
    This will be a daily(33hz tuned) mixed with A swap port for those pesky burps(42-48hz). Later I will switch the elite x for Shok Titans and add a second 12k.

    Electrical : JY 80ah for now, matched to either Singer or mechman 320-370a alt. Later will add a second alt and possibly another 80ah JY.

    Mids and highs, here in going against the grane of the big spl demo Builds. I find that I don't always listen to bass at those 155+ levels and keeping up with those big db results in a front stage that fatigues a person.

    Solution is a double 3 way set ran active. This I know will cause me some challenges but the goal will be have each set of tweeter/ full range measure the same orcloae to the same distance to a pre-determine spot, Phase corrected and subsequently getting the time alignment as close as possible. Cross over and slope will be determine much later

    Amp... will be a nice 6 channel amp made by Ground Zero, same as the mids unless something ells comes up. I won't disclose the series of GZ just yet but I had 1 set hookup in the truck already and wow! $ per performance was insane!

    Pictures, box plans, etc will
    Follow shortly.

    First things first: prep the truck.
    This means, well it's already stripped and has been such since I removed the previous wall.

    The roof cross Members are all loose as the previous attempt to fix the roof skin/ cross members separating has come loose. This will be the most important aspect as this no wall setup is going to put a tremendous amount of pressure and force on this roof.

    Stay tuned!

    Hey whats up Andrew!! just the man i was actually looking for !!! I actually want to square up with you with that Triton 10. I was gonna ask the big boss if we can sub that triton of the new self powered sub that we have been working on thats finally ready. Then i remember'd.... right now you already have the sub amp so the triton is still the best fit. Pm me and lets close that.

    As for pictures.... no pictures yet as First i have to prep the damn truck! its such a mess.... need new seals, the roof reinforcements, road safety inspection etc etc... UGHHHHH. If i loose the rear glass on this build, I'm simply gonna do canopy with a a damn blow through

    Excited to see the build John. As you know, the best builds take their time. I bought that deadener from you last year and I finally got to finish putting it in :rofl:. Working on some sort of thread for the build....I have random pictures and some timelapse video from the deadener install (nothing from the MLV/CCF install though). I'll try and get to that in the next week or so and post a link in your GB thread. Okay, yeah...the Triton 8 was the only one that would work for me. PM incoming. Haven't installed the MC on the doors yet (buying a new house and have zero time) but I will post pictures when I do.
