Default Project 98 F-150 XLT extended
So i've talked and talked about it, now the wheels are in motion.
My main focus is a decent little setup on $1,500 - $2,000.
Removing backseats, creating a box that will hold a set of subs that can take a beating and hold up for a good while. I don't want to skimp out and pay more later on better stuff.. and I keep my radio kinda loud at all times. Anyway, as for the box in the backseat area: I haven't made any measurements, cut any wood, ordered any subs, amps, anything. My only real big problem is that I want to be able to slide both the driver and passenger front seats all the way back and lean them all the way back and still clear the box. That's pretty important to me.

What do you guys think I should blow money on? Remember, I'm not rich but I dont want something I'm going to kill in 6 months either. Amps and subs.

What I've got so far: Knuconceptz just dropped a box off of:
(2)Konfused distribution system Digital fuse block (1 in/2out)
(2)Mini ANL fuse 150a
(2)Mini ANL fuse 60a
(2)Konfused high current inline fuse holder
(6)Mini ANL fuse 100a
(50 ft)kca kable 1/0 gauge blue cca pwr/grnd
(2)Klarity kable 5m 2 chan rca cable
(50 ft)klear kable blue 12 gauge speaker wire
(20 ft)KLMX kable 4 gauge silver pwr/grnd
..oh and two oval stickers

And I just ordered: http://www.crescendoaudio.com/produc...0&bestseller=Y crescendo 6.5' components for the front. I know I'll have to make a wooden frame to fit them into the door. I'm sure I'll make that difficult since I'm retarded.

That's all I have so far.. I know I need sound deadening. I've heard I should jump on fat mat.. but second skin has better stuff so I've heard. I'm just wanting to stop the rattles, that's all.

Please help me get this project going so I can take pictures and show you guys what you've helped me accomplish.

Thanks!@#$

He's my certified mobile audio surgeon currently that's all I know. He's in Texas.. and is guiding me through this over the net. No pressure. Lol
He's a cool guy and has given me a lot of guidance. Stripperpole helped a lot aswell.

oh and before anyone asks "why 6 fuses" the fuse holder is supposed to be a really nice high flow fuse holder with 3 100a fuses to make it a 300a fuse holder. 1 for big 3 and 1 for main fun. Amps will have their rated fuses in the distro block.
Also 2 fused distros were a operator error lol. But its all good.

Looks nice Matt. I like Dynamat personally, but its expensive! If you can, make good friends with someone at Best buy, cause the employees get an AMAZING discount and then you can get dynamat very cheap.

Hmm.. good idea sir. I've heard bad things about dynamat.. I guess a few years ago when it was asphalt based? I dont know if it still is or not.. just the odors and stuff. I wonder how much deadening i would need to just stop speaker rattle

I'd love to do that Strip, but how am I going to stuff a box back there and keep my front seats leaned all the way back and pushed all the way back?

Thumbs down Pictured Update
These pics are nothing special, just showing all my crap so far. I'll give a review of the speakers after I get an amplifier and install them (which I will have a hard time doing considering I'm retarded).
I've said this before, but so you don't have to scroll down:
What I've got so far: Knuconceptz just dropped a box off of:
(2)Konfused distribution system Digital fuse block (1 in/2out)
(2)Mini ANL fuse 150a
(2)Mini ANL fuse 60a
(2)Konfused high current inline fuse holder
(6)Mini ANL fuse 100a
(50 ft)kca kable 1/0 gauge blue cca pwr/grnd
(2)Klarity kable 5m 2 chan rca cable
(50 ft)klear kable blue 12 gauge speaker wire
(20 ft)KLMX kable 4 gauge silver pwr/grnd
..oh and two oval stickers
Crescendo 6.5' components w/tweets and crossovers.. 100 watt rms @ 4ohms.
... and that's fake monopoly money.
... and my ballerific Memphis Tigers hat

I half kill myself every day for that monopoly money. All that's spending money on my truck. Truck comes first, fat girls later.

What do you guys think about Lanzar Amps? I was wondering if I should get a Hiphonics, or Lanzar to run my components.. I'd like to have matching amps (one for subs later on)
