Yes I do, I bought it off amazon for $15. I have it wired to a switch instead of the reverse because I don't always use it, and it is nice to be able to use it when the truck isn't in reverse.

I built a new subwoofer box today, 3/4" MDF.
60" wide X 18" deep X 14" tall. 6 cubic feet, ported with 3 4" X 11" PVC pipes. One layer of R13 fiberglass insulation along the bottom.
I was using 2 10" Rockford Fosgate HX2 subwoofers on a 40amp (500watts RMS) Kenwood amplifier. About a week ago on a whim I bought 2 12" Dual SD12 subwoofers from walmart to put in a box in the house hooked up to the stereo. They slam pretty hard for a $30 speaker! So, I bought 2 more and took the 2 out of the house and put them in my truck. Shit bangs in the ported box with only 500 watts. I'd like to get a new amp for a full 700 watts RMS.
washed, waxed, and polished last weekend
Hey! 4x8 sheets fit in a yukon!
cutting and stuff
test fit
95% done
All it needs is something to cover the wood! I am going to put some type of vinyl to match the trim cover over it some time this summer...
I'll try to take a video tomorrow.

Yeah they look good on it, fit the truck, not too flashy.
And I love that emblem.

Thanks, I think they look good. I'm trying to keep a factory look to the whole truck.
I got that sucker on ebay for $30, I just have to figure out a way to mount it. I might have to buy a new grille.

Get a chrome grill insert and attach it to that...would look awesome IMO, and I don't even like chrome.
I finally got the rusted hitch out that was stuck solid in the receiver.
Made some new valve stem caps out of some .45 shells
I also made a blue LED light for the exhaust. Its kinda ricey but I like it.
The short term plans right now are fender assist mirrors; LED retrofits into the brake lights, corner, and parking lights; H3 bulb retrofit into the reverse lights; and the 1947 GMC grille emblem.
Still have to install the 3/4 drop kit.

It's bent in the middle I don't know if flattening it out is a good idea.

Nice Yukon, how are those Boss 6.5s workin out for you? Are you running an amp to them and are they in the front or rear doors or both?

Nice build man and I love the wheels they look perfect on our obs trucks! Nice box too but, do you have it bolted on the humps in the cargo area and if not does it slide a little to the rear on fast take-offs?
You get what you pay for with those. They are crap. I should have never bought them, but the factory speakers were blown. I can't decide what speakers I want to install next or else I would have tossed them a while ago. I'm leaning towards home theater speakers with an amp. 6.5" mids in the doors, new tweeters, a few 8" or 10" mid bass in a custom center console...mmmm
It's not bolted down, but it fits really snug. It does rock back and forth if you push on it hard, but it has never fallen off the wheel wells. I have many fast take offs to prove it.
Those Dual subs have held up really well so far. I'm running them on two amps 800 watts. The "175w RMS" written on the box is about the max for these subs.
Finally decided it was time to stick the '47 emblem on with my high beam HIDs arriving in the mail in a few days. Rather than take the front fascia off twice, I'm going to do both in one go.
Poor girl is going to look sad for a few days.
cut out the GMC
splice in pieces from a junkyard grille
Currently sitting with globs of super glue on it.
Sanding and paint coming later...
My PPI 8" mids came today. Props to sonic electronics for fast shipping!
I hope I don't have to cut too much...

Grills gonna look nice man! Those mids gonna be cool too. Question on your box, is it straight through with all 4 subs in or each sub has own box space? I like the way it looks and was thinking about pulling something like that off.
