Jesus what a lot of work but damn I bet it feels good and sounds better!

 

Question, where did you get the stealthbox? Did you have to wait for J&L to make it for you or did they just have some in stock?

Thanks! And it's a dramatic difference from any OEM system I have ever heard.  Range rover, Benz - the key is in the DSP, it's an insanely powerful audio tool - esp. the Helix.

 

I had actually done the main speaker wire harness and power from my previous build but knocked everything else out in 2 weekday night and 2 very long weekend days.  Tuning has been on going though.

 

The Stealthbox I had gotten lucky - Crutchfield never has them in stock and when I was chatting with an agent, they had just gotten one in stock that day - I immediately pulled the trigger, felt like fate.

Yeah I figured you had some things already done but was just perusing all your other photos. 

 

How do you like the stealthbox so far? What sub(s) is/are in it? 

I'm a little surprised you didn't get a custom box, not that JL is bad but I'd say this is a custom job :cool:

Yeah the truck has been through 4 builds already so the frame work was there for a few of the pieces.

 

Actually love the box - it was that or an MTI Acoustics Stage 2 Box.  Came down to lead time on the build I was doing at the time and would have ended up with the same subwoofers no matter what. I've come to prefer sealed vs. ported as well and the fiberglass construction is beyond sturdy.  I also like that the JL box sits behind the front lip of the seats, every picture of the MTI boxes I see has the box project out past the seats and I'm not a big fan of that.

 

The box has 2, 12" JL Audio 12 TW3-D8's wired at 2 ohms rated for 400W RMS each.  Sub amp is giving them 880W.  Previous build was giving them 600W and with a proper tune now, it is night and day.  They play flat down to about 27-28hz, which I'll happily take for a sealed box with 12s.  I am certainly tuned more for sound quality but they boogie when they want to.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
