Tonight I decided to see if the sub and console fit in the truck together. I followed the directions on cutting “a couple tabs” on the inside of the console with a dremel and the box almost fit in the console right, so I removed a bunch more and it fit just like the picture. Then I attached the console to the box with some screws and tried to fit it into place. No way. So I separated them, slid the box into place and tried to slide the console forward. No way, it needed to go forward about 8 more inches. I could see what was hitting so I removed the console and cut more. Success. It’s tight and that sub box has zero place to move. Rodney was right when he said the console holds it in place.

You should look into a lily brush for the carpet. That pretty pup will get white hair all up in that (even if (s)he doesnt go for rides in your truck, itll fall from your clothes)

Other than that the truck looks amazing
Never heard of those , but I just ordered one. Thanks!

I couldn’t wait anymore to see what the sub sounded like so I hooked it up temporarily tonight. I don’t have any good speaker wire yet and didn’t have time to mount the amp. I was starting to worry that the JL was too much for the box and would sound like shit but I’m happy to say it hits super hard. I still need to dial the amp and HU sub adjustments in but I am impressed. People will definitely be wondering where all the bass is coming from. It shakes the cab pretty good. Played Low Rider by War and some Audioslave.
