Not really... the specs were drawn on the wood that is now chopped up and in the Runner. They were built specifically for the Infinity 10's, so I didn't do a write-up for it. However, I can get you basic measurements very easily for the outside area. That'd be quite easy...

Looks really nice, Erik. Very clean, and very functional. If I my sub wasn't so deep I'd do a similar (but single sub) setup.

I don't wanna throw a wet blanket, but something did cross my mind- bass cancellation. I'm positive Bumpin' Yota could confirm this, but if you run both subs incorrectly, you'll wind up cancelling out a certain amount of thump. What I can't remember is if it needs to be in series or in parallel to prevent that...

That's great man. I wish I had the patience and the time to do that.

Hooking up subs in parallel or series is fine, all depends on what impedence you want to run and what your amp can handle.
Sound waves are (partially) cancelled when one speaker/sub is connected correctly (+/-) and one is connected backwards (-/+)

Cool Finished... well, kind of!

Well, I had another productive day working on the box... got about 7 hours in today. I finished with the build and the speakers are now INSTALLED!!! Woo hoo... I still have to wire everything up, but hopefully I can do that on Sunday. Well, here are the photos of it actually finished looking:

This bolt attaches through the box with a rubber gasket and a washer where the tigh-downs used to go. The gasket should keep an air-tight seal.


This goes where the cargo canopy cover went... carpeted to match since you can see like 1/2" of it


Another angle


The screw that threads into the existing hole of the canopy












My MagLite is attached to the side here


My fire extinguisher on the opposite side






My cute as hell little girl playing on daddy's new box... she just tunred 9-months old yesterday!


More to come when it's ALL finished.

That looks Great! If you had to guess, what amount of weight do you think you added? Also how many sheets of MDF did you use?

Thanks... I'd say maybe 150 lbs and less than 2 sheets.

Not really... I haven't driven it since I installed it. The box is in, but the truck has no seats, carpet, wires, etc... been working on that the past few days. It should be driveable by Thursday or Friday. I measured my lift before/after the install... looks like I lost almost 1/2" in the rear since it went in. I was looking for stiffer coils before I put this in and I'm pretty sure I'll need those even more now. We'll see later this week when it's all done.

All finished... nothing much to report. Looks the same, just all the wiring is done.

Looks good, sounds good.
