since i've finally made a decision on my mids and highs and a nice amp i've been thinking about the future (sub time) and i'm only looking to install one 12" sub on the passanger side under the rear bench. so i was wondering if anyone out there has any ideas for a box design. the sub isnt choosen (since i have time) but if i can get an idea of what air space i'll be working with maybe it'll make it easier to choose.

I have a JL Audio sub that is not in use right now. It only takes 1 cubic foot of air space. I made a box, but it isn't the greatest for fit wise. It works well sitting on the rear seat, but I know that is not what you want. I just know that JL is one sub that doesn't take too big of a box and it is required to be sealed. One thing to do is when you build a box, silicone and screw it good, then get spray paint and paint the inside of the box. This will seal up any holes that there may be in the silicone. I have built a few boxes, and they are alot tighter with spray paint inside of them. Hope this helps a little.

i'm really looking for box designs.  i know how to build a box. there is a bunch of low air space subs out there, but if i can get a really number/size thing it would help narrow it down. but at this rate i wont have money for a while.  i saw a pretty nice design this one guy did with his 99 or 2000 ext cab. but the space under his rear bench looks a lot different so i dont think i can use his idea.

i'm not looking for a premade box and thats on the wrong side and your truck is the wrong year. all my hardware is going on the drivers side, the 12 disc changer, the computer, the dreamcast.  and the newer trucks have a different looking floor mine has more bumps and stuff which makes the sub box harder to design. i know i'm picky and all.

like i said wrong side.. 12 disc changer is already mounted under the drivers side rear bench. only one that they make that goes on the passanger side is for 1999 up. so i guess its time to get out the tools and start designing a box.

If you do not want a pre-made box you have a big job ahead of you to make one look good.  Q-logic makes a nice prefab box for both sides.

it wont be too hard. i just need to try and figure out the right air space for whatever sub i want. then get some carpet or other stuff.  its just been so long since i was into drafting so its going to suck to try and draw plans out.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
