Custom Fiberglass Ported Box for FOUR 8" Subwoofers


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was in the process of installing my stereo when I lady pulled out infront of me on the freeway and I totaled the truck. I finished the box anyway. It's my first fiberglass box and is 3 cu ft NET after subwoofer and port displacement. Holds FOUR 8" subwoofers forward facing and is tuned to 31Hz with two separate ports. I was going to use four brand new Sundown Audio SA-8 V.2 Stock SPL subwoofers. I'm on the fence if I want to sell the 8" subwoofers or not. It is carpeted in black, the ports are painted glossy white with glossy clear coat and comes with 4 Blue LED strips in the ports. Box is carpeted in black, but you can carpet however you like if your truck is grey or tan. I used TONS of matte and resin. Enough to where I can stand on it and jump up and down on it :lol:

This box requires you to lift your rear seats 3" and I will be including the hardware to do so. I fabricated these mounting blocks out of aircraft grade T6-6061 aluminum that is EXTREMELY strong if you don't know about 6061 Aluminum. They are extra strong as I fabricated them out of .25" thick metal. I have two different sets of mounting blocks. I have a sale pending right now, but I don't know which ones he wants. I have a set that will lift your seat up 3" and another set I was working on that lifts it 3" and moves your seat forward roughly 3" so you can utilize your entire back wall for an amp rack. I was installing 4 separate amplifiers which required me to mount two of my 1800wrms amplifiers up high to stack them and I couldn't do this without moving the seat forward just a tad. Also allows ample room for cooling purposes for your amplifiers. These blocks can be carpeted or painted. I was planning on wrapping them in black carpet. I suggest using Grade 8 bolts and nuts. Whoever buys either set of blocks will get the one set of Grade 8 bolts and nuts with the sale, with the pending sale I have for the blocks.

This box cost me over $300 in wood, fiberglass matte, resin, paint and LED's. The seat lift T6-6061 aluminum blocks cost me $140 + $20 for the Grade 8 hardware.

Price: $250 + actual shipping. I live in Oklahoma, but use to live in Dallas so if you are in the Dallas area, we can arrange something.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
