all i have to do before i cover it is put it in the truck and screw some holes to secure it down. covering with a leathery vinyl up top and carpet on the lower sides

 

Well Done! Can't wait to see the final product.

 

make me one

 

well, here it is structuraly complete in the truck, now i gotta cover it. it hits hard and sounds clear, though i did make an oopsie somewhere in the wiring. i plugged up the two to the amp the way i was supposed to, and i was barely getting any sound, so i tried each speaker individually and they hit way harder than the 2 wired at the same time. so i got the wacky idea of reversing the poles of one sub at the amp and whala, it bumped nicely. still trying to remember which i wire backwards.

 

jus a suggestion, idk if u planned on it anyway, but u might wanna buy a lil cushioning [like the cotton padding used for quilting] and install it under the fabric on that upper hinged part if u use it as an armrest. it'll feel MUCH better. good job tho, its pretty tite

 

This might help you http://www.crutchfield.com/S-2qcLAv9...rs_wiring.html BTW Nice job

 

Just out of curiosity, because I am working on similar plans. Any vibration with the lid there?

 

almost none, i can feel it if my arm is resting on it, but it doesnt rattle or anything

i do plan on putting foam padding on all of the top, front to back. i also have some thicker foam pad that is going on the armrest.
