    FAQ

    What if I have a factory subwoofer?
    I haven't had a truck with a factory subwoofer to measure yet so you will have to cut a hole to accommodate your subwoofer. An angle grinder with a cutting wheel easily cuts the aluminum.

    Do you make a panel for a single cab?
    Not yet but it is in the works

    How do I paint my panel?
    1: Sand it with 220-320 grit sandpaper
    2: Thoroughly clean the panel
    (Acetone works well)
    3: Spray 2 light coats of aluminum
    primer. Let dry
    4: Lightly wet sand any imperfections
    with a fine scotch brite pad or very
    fine sand paper (500+grit)
    5: Spray 2-3 light top coat layers of your
    favorite color.

    What paint is recommended?
    I use Rust-oleum professional aluminum primer and a Rust-oleum professional high performance enamel top coat.
    The enamel paint takes a long time to fully dry but seems to be more durable in the long term.

    Very cool item. But not clear from the description...buyers will need to remove the factory behind-seat storage plastic in order to install this?
