Check out the pictures in my gallery below. Very please with the sound and output. Done for under $500 not including my labor!

 

Nice work. You do it all yourself?

 

Dupuis, very nicely done. What size dimension on your box ?

Will

 

Yes, from start to finish. It took me awhile, but I got it done. Using my 6 disc stock HU with high to low line convertors. The stock HU turned out to work great with what I put on it. Got to keep the look of the console with was my goal. Thanks

 

Thanks, it's 33'' long, 5.5'' on the front where the subs mount, 4'' on the back in the same area. The area on the hump is 4'' on the front and 2.5'' on the back. The part over the hump is 16.5'' and the part where the subs mount is 16.5'' making the 33''. Port is 3'' thin wall PVC 25.5'' long tuned to 35 Hz. Box is made of 5/8'' MDF.

 

What are using for a head unit? Is this connected to the factory unit?

 

Yes, stock 6 disc HU with high to low line convertors. Sounds great.
I did not want to mess up the look of my console.

 

Looks good,
I think that 8's are awsome....tight and punchy, not boomy and muddy sounding. Do you have .50 for each sub or for both? It's nice to see that the systems are finally begining to take shape in the 04's around the country.

This is a review I posted on another forum. It explains everything.

This is in a 2004 F-150 Lariat Super Crew. I did not want to mess up the look of the front console so I kept my stock 6 disc HU in place and used high to low line convertors. Surprisingly it ended up sounding very good. All I need.
Not much room under rear seat to work with. 6'' at the deepest point. I ended up with .50 cubs tuned to 35 Hz after all displacments. The port ended up being 3'' thin wall PVC aprox. 25.5'' long with one 90 de. turn in it. Not what is rec. for 2 RE8s, but thats all I could get in between the seat brackets. This started out as me just wanting to gain alittle bass. Well I got it and more.
These 8s are unbelieveable. Having competed in the mid 80s with 2 12s, I was blow away at what these little things put out. Because my box was so small for 2 RE8s ported, and not knowing how it would sound, I built 2 boxes, the other was .45 sealed. I tried that one first. Sounded good and I was very pleased, but when I put the subs in my ported box the out put gained was well jaw dropping. This in a .50 proted box how can it be. I was told here and by David at RE that it would be very hard to stop port noise and that my port would be to long for the size box that space would allow. I thought I would just give it a shot and WOW, WOW I sure am glad I did.
Bass is very tight and reaches very low. I hear notes that my 15'' home sub hits. All this with 2 RE8s. Needless to say, I am very happy with my install and would tell any one looking for bass with little areas to deal with to go with these little monsters.
The only other thing I am planning on doing is to upgrade my cheap 4 channel amp to an Avonixx 440.4 to match my other amp. I will stack both where my Avionixx is now.
Sorry so long. Just very pleased with the sound I ended up with.

 

What did you have to do to get the 6.5s to fit in the front door?

 

I made an adapter out of 1/4'' plastic to fit the 6x8'' hole, than cut out the hole for the 6.5''. Made sure to seal both the adapter and the 6.5 when I installed them. The crossover is in the handle under the switches.
