I Plan on doing a blow through tomorrow. I hate to destroy the walls of my baby but it must be done. I want it loud and i just cant do that with under the seat or behide the seat box. not enough airspace or mounting depth for my subs.. i have to l7 15" kickers and i plan on cutting the wall of the cab and the bed and sealing the gap with (?) ionno.. and placing the subs in the bed.. i have a hard top cover so the water in the bed is not a problem just dont kno what to seal the gap between the bed and the cab with.. any tips or suggestions would be nice..

and yes i kno im cutting my truck panals but they can always be welded back on later if its ever sold.. no one will ever no :D

Now you sir have some balls. I love that idea except I couldn't get myself to do it. Maybe if my truck was paid for and about 8-10 yrs old. :D I have no suggestions for sealing the cab from the bed but now that you are going big give those l7's plenty of power, ported, and tuned low. My favorite truck with blow through.

I worked at a stereo shop several years ago and did a lot of boxes ported through the bed to the cab. Below is a link to what we used, but we got it at a local camper shell store. When I would put it on I would fill the groves full of of silicone and then push over the cut metal. Also on one end of the strip, cut the metal clips off about six inches and then silicone what is left as a flap over the other side. This made a waterproof seal on our installs.

I suggest saving some money for some of these too. And yes, you WILL be "old" before you know it.

I am only 42 and I have some hearing loss in my left ear from an eardrum puncture I suffered 20 years ago. Not bad, but enough to know it sucks. My mom is 80 and nearly deaf and I can no longer even talk to her on the phone. My FIL is also nearly deaf and is VERY difficult to hold a conversation with.

 

 

Respect your hearing. That is all.

well i started this project today i got both walls cut and i picked up some of that accordien camper seal... im making my box tomorrow to fit in there snugg.. ill put picks up later of a timecapsel of it beening put togather if any one cares to see my progress.. thanks for the accordien camper stuff idea seems like it will work great..

WOW, I have a friend who has been toying with that Idea, but he still uses his to haul is quad and pit bikes, he hasn't done it yet!

Show some pics when you get the chance!

I've done a blow-through with one kicker l7 15 in my regular cab and like he said you can always weld it up later if it hits the fan. I hid my sub box with a tool box I bought at Lowes. That way I can still use me truck just fine and I have a small amount of storage in the toolbox which I actually have tools in. Although if I ever get a bed cover there may be more subs to come and plus my truck is just getting higher and higher off the ground since I just bought a 6inch lift and already have a 4. I'm powering me l7 with one kicker 1500.1 and it actually is rated at 1705 watts....so yes it can be blown but it isn't cranked up all the way. Good luck on the full install and post pics

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
