That looks really good! Where did you get the box from? I have 2 12" subs and a 500 watt amp to power them sitting in my garage, I really just need a box for them.

I bought it at a local shop. It was actually cheaper than building one. They sold boxes for 10 and 12 inchers, but I sat in a couple different rigs with the 12s, and they both sounded like a$$, so I stuck with the 10s.

Yeah, there's not enough airspace in a truck DF box for most 12" subs to sound good. I recently removed my amp and subs from my truck temporarily. I bought an Orion 8004 amp for my door speakers, so now I have to rearrange my sub amp and capacitor to make room for the other amp. I'm putting everything in during Thanksgiving weekend. I'll post some pics of the setup when it's complete.

I have a ProBox in my crew cab also, fits behind the rear seat. It holds one of those new Sony 5 sided dual voice coil 10 inch subs (don't know the model number). Much better than the factory Bose sub.

What kind of price range am I looking at for something like that (box only) do ya think? Its kinda hard to get any shop to own to any pricing. Thanks for your help

For those of you with a Probox and a single ten in your crew cab. Can you give some details on how that setup sounds?

 

That's the first crew cab box option that I've seen that is ported and I'm seriously considering it for my truck. Most of the other set ups I've seen for the newer crew cabs have been custom (home-made), sealed boxes and my last truck had a sealed box. I'm just thinking of adding it to my stock HU and am a little cautious because I'd like some real world feedback on it first.

I think my sub sounds very good, not great. It fills in the missing bass, and you can feel it. The rear view mirrors blur. You won't win any SPL contests or rattle your neighbors house with just a single 10. But, very unobtrusive install, and it sounds better than the other "hidden" sub enclosures I've seen (center console, etc.)

 

I use a JL Audio 250/1 amp, and a Sony dual voice coil 10 inch sub in the Probox. The rest of the sound is the factory Bose system, with a PAC harness to connect the sub amp. Since the box only held one sub, I went with the dual voice coil for lower ohm load and louder sound.

 

There is a plastic cover that pops off the rear cabin wall (covers a child seat anchor?). Removing this gave enough clearance for the rear seat to latch back properly. Also, the hinged carpeted thing behind the seat needs to go. Don't need it anyway.

 

Hope this helps.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      Great info to have, I printed out what you had in your document as well as Newdudes post as I could see this mistake with the hardware happening very often if not realizing what type of special bolts are being used and just guess on bolt size for torque or the good enough "easy" method as per whack in the used bolts with an impact and send it !.

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.
