badass truck, love the color!

Jesus.... 4x Rockford Fosgate T2 subs?! Ive got 2 in my Avenger and they are insanely loud!

Is that enough space in that box for subs that big? I thought those subs needed a lot of room in the enclosure to function properly. My box has 2.0 Cu FT for each sub.

Previous box did not have enough space, but this one does. We are utilizing the entire back wall up to the window and box comes out to the back of the seats and goes underneath them. It'll look and sound pretty impressive.

It's close to being completed and then we are building custom door pods to hold 2 - 6.5“ MSP-Woofers and then custom pods for the A-Pillars & Dash that will hold 3" Midranges and 1.1" Tweeters.

Rockford Power for the Subs and Dynaudio for the Speakers.

He gets a stream of cash as needed. Built the original system and this new one is well beyond anything I could have ever imagined. $$$ well spent.

There are 3 main builders and over a dozen different vendors who have done some sort of fabrication / modification work.

28 months and counting, what I was thinking was going to be a 6 month project....... LOL

More pics of the sub box build over the past 2 weeks. Fiberglass work in process. Box should be completed within a few days. Wrapping it in Alcantera to match the interior of the cab and bed, as well with carbon fiber accents. There will be some Red LED Lighting as well. Can't wait to see the finished product. It will have 4 large ports on the top.

Looking good so far.

 

[ejholt]

Just need to finish up the wiring for the LEDs that run around the subs and put in the middle Rockford Emblem and the box is good to go. Hard to believe this is going to fit behind the seats and allow you to put them all the way back..... :rock:

Honestly, the best looking truck on the forum hands down.

 

[ViperPete]

Amazing work. Absolutely amazing. I am so impressed that you were able to put those T2's in there. You just added like 400 lbs of weight to the truck though lol.

Nice work. Keep the updates coming.

What are you using for an alternator? I am thinking of upgrading mine and am looking for ways to go.

Dayumm!! I'm about 25 years outdated on car systems. Technology has come a long ways. Used to have two 15" MTX Road Thunder pros behind a HiFonics "Hercules" and it would knock stuff off the walks at gas stations, stores and homes. No car alarm within 50 ft was safe. Lmao
I could only imagine what that system sounds like. Wow!
I still have my 15 year old MTX 1501D amp and it's been Sitting that long lol. First digital amp of it's day and put out a true 1467 watts. Threw it all at one "also new at the time" L7 15" Solobaric Kicker. That was the loudest system I've ever had at 132DB haha. It would still take your breath away. Not sure you could breathe in your truck Eric! Dayummm

Thank You for all the positive feedback - I know all of you have a true appreciation / passion for what we do, so I'm honored to be part of such a great group of guys / girls!!

I can't wait to get that box into the cab and see / hear how it looks.

We are working on the door pods next. The Dynaudio Speakers were delivered earier in the week. Going to put 2 - 6.5" mid/woofers in each door and then 3" midranges and 1.5" tweeters on the a-pillars / dash. Soundstage is going to insane.

Also got the new Pioneer AVIC8200 going in with the Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY.3 (8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/ 248 Band Parametric EQ).

I swapped out the alternator back in 2005 when I bought the truck and built the 1st system. I think it came from Ohio Generator and was around 300 amp.

It was never enough to push what I had in the truck at that stage, the volts would just drop when the truck was at idle.

This time around I've added 5 - XSPower D6500 Batteries. Got 1 under the hood and 4 going against the backwall in the bed, behind plexglass. Each battery is rated for 4,000 watts each, so I'll have 20,000 watts and that 300 amp alternator to support the system. More then enough to keep it going and not put any stress on it. Each battery weighs 60lbs. I've easily got over 1,000 lbs in audio equipment.

Then again, that is why I have all that power. The weight of that audio equipment will hopefully keep that truck straight when I put the power down.

Well that's one way of looking at it!!!

The reason i asked about the alternator is because when i put the underdrive pulley on my truck, at lights at night my volts drop down to like 12-13. Once I'm moving again they go back up to 14-15.

Ive got around 4k rms watts in the Avenger with a stock alternator and a single yellowtop and the lights don't even dim. I dont know how thats possible but it does it. I have a serious engine grounding system... maybe thats it... i dont know.

I don't mind the weight if I'm not trying to make my truck a track vehicle. In your case, I wouldn't dare put that beauty on a track with the intentions of winning races. Just fun.

I'm afraid to take it anywhere, as I don't want anyone getting near that paint. Not easy to fix a $40K custom paint job...... Never mind dealing with rocks and chips, etc. on the road.

It's a work of art so I can't blame you my friend. But life is too short to not go out there and have fun with your nice toy.

 

[KINGSNAKE]

i just want the light up viper logo in the middle. lol

 

[VIPAGRA]

Hey Eric. Nice upgrades and they look great. Where did you get the wheels done or did you buy them like that? Would love to get 4 of those.

Thank you
