Should've grabbed the barn door rear glass.

Should've grabbed the barn door rear glass.

Good call. I didn't even think of that. I had to buy one of those for my OBS once. Holy Expensive!

Looks like it got parted out pretty well, anyways. I know I ended up with a couple pieces of it! Good job and thanks @1badc4 !

Should've grabbed the barn door rear glass.

Way too difficult to remove and probably just hang around and not sell. I swapped the active door glass when I had to buy replacement door. Wasn't fun. And my shed is already filled with all the plastic interior and dash cap, door panels

 

[1badc4]

I still have active barn door and front passenger door.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I know the barn doors and barn door glass is hard to find.

Center caps on

I pulled 3 sets of 12 ga thru mine and it was a complete *****. I used all sky high car audio wire and it’s kind of like the blue wire you used. It’s s super soft case so it doesn’t slide across sit lol I had to take out the plug like in this photo and cut the factory speaker out and I ended up drilling a 1/2” hole in it to feed the wires thru. Pain in A. Then the front doors don’t have that style can nection lol piece of ****

How does this box sound? Is it solid? Have you ever thought about fiberglass wrapping it to make it even more solid?

I was going to remove mine to but didn’t see any other support so changed my mind. Don’t need to take it out anyways I found out. I shrill have it in both my chevys. What I did do tho is pull out their AC control Then took a hacksaw blade and Trimmed down underneath the radio behind the AC knobs. Also made a new wiring harness for the radio that way I didn’t have to have that monster plug. What I don’t use the radio power the speakers it’s all off amps so I have four more wires up there but it was a pain in the ass and still is every time I have to take one of them out is the RCA’s, having three sets of them back there because the ones I have are the old Rockford Fosgate gama technology rca’s Half inch round with a big Rockford Fosgate emblem on each end then like 2-3 inches Wires come out of that with 1 inch long metal ends. Getting ready to Take those out and toss them in the garbage to!

Not really sure as I've never used it. All I did was test it out.
