thump thump.. new sub install

[Marlin]

Your box looks sweet.
I went with the Kicker Wakeboard boat subwoofer. It is a solid Poly box, UV resistant, waterproof, and fit in the spare area perfect. I cut a hole in the extra rear door cover that I had from the abandoned VX that was at the local Isuzu dealership. It works like a champ, and I mounted a boat cleat to the box for easy portability.
Got it for 50 bucks at Circuit City, it was a display, never even been hooked up...

ran into some fitment issues.. got em taken care of now, building is done, im gonna ride around with it empty for a couple days, see how it holds up, then all thats left is to cover and mount the sub!

heres the raw product..



storage on the sides for 1 bottle of oil, one bottle of ATF, and a pair of sandals



storage on the other side for jumper cables



and still room for a socket set, fire extinguisher and mag light on top (yes i will be installing straps to hold them in place during offroading)

Any concerns about rattling the fire extinguisher, or any other "chemicals" that may go on top of the sub?

hm now that you mention it.. it might be a bad idea to put the fire extinguisher up there... but the oil and stuff im not concerned about, currently my oil is stored on its side inside my sub box, at least now its standing upright

I do not think vibration hurts a fire extinguisher. I wouldn't put it there, because it becomes useless. If you wanted it, I would assume something is on fire, so that means you have to get out, use your key to open the rear door, unscrew the cover knobs, (if you reinstall the cover) and then get the extinguisher out. I would think mounting it behind the driver's seat in the small window frame would be better, but I would only do that if I had tint, otherwise it might release the safety valve from the heat?

Here are a few pics of my sub install, I manage to fit tow straps, a tool set, and a first aid kit in there with room to spare. That is obviously not the original door cover (red knobs), it came off of an abandoned VX at a dealership in the area, so I still have a nice shiny new one in my shed

whoopie!! all done.. i cant wait to crank this baby up, but rockford fosgate recommends 20-30 hours of listening before pushing past 50% volume.. but so far it sounds gooood

oh and dont mind the stain.. still tryin to figure out how that got there.. but i assure you it will be DELETED! the wires visible in the interior pic are from my old sub install and are disconnected now too, just gotta pull em
