Hey don't forget about me I'm in Stone Mountain. Narco I went to Gwinnett Sound to get alarm installed and found out I had a bad brain because it wasn't sending any power to the starter servo. Hopefully new one will be here tomorrow and I can get it finished up.

Never heard of CDT, where did u pick those up? I have a set of Alpine Type-R components that I'm looking to putting in the front doors. Not sure what I want to do in the rear yet as far as mids and maybe a sub or two goes. Let me know when you all plan on meeting up, I'd like to meet with a few other hoe owners out here in GA. :)

definitely. AV8ter (Kevin) has been helping me as far as choosing a new HU and is gonna help on the install. Actually I'm gonna go meet him in a few if he wakes up!

I went with an Alpine 9886 HU. I'd like to meet up with everyone. Maybe Tricks (Bandon's) Denali will have its interior done by then.

Rough drawing of what I have got so far.


tahoebox1.png



48'' wide, 12'' deep, 15'' high at the sub's mounting surface, 22'' high at the port's mounting surface. I forgot to throw the port's cutouts in there. It is most likely going to be two 4'' PSP Aeroports. Got it to about 3.8 cubes after displacement.

Maybe work the Incriminator logo into the back or something? It is going to look pretty boring with the 48'' x 15'' surface staring you right in the face when you pop the hatch lol.

Lol about the bowtie. I guess it does have bowtie potential.

Either 1/4'' foam(if box covered in vinyl) or 1/4-1/2'' mdf with the design CNC'd out of it, over layed on top of the box.

Ask Fraze at CACO to help you with your CNC needs!

4'' is too small? You're talking about the aeroport, right?

Narco I'm am going to look for wiring in a bit. Your build will take more rcas and speaker wire than what most amp kits come with so it might be cheaper just to piece a kit together.

I get done with school in 4 weeks so right after that I guess. I got about 8 other boxes I am going to be doing at the same time but this one will get done quick. Wiring up Narco's hoe is going to be the time consuming part for sure.

You and Trick could have a explodetheHoe'sinterior/wiring party without me? You obviously know how to take the interior stuff out and that's pretty much all wiring is. Just got to hide it all and make it look pretty. Just be ready for a lot of foul language when you're doing it though lol.

I am 90% sure I am sticking it out here for the next 4 weeks. It is still a $30 tank of gas round trip at the end of the day even in my Integra and I am still hurting from getting my car towed and buying too much audio crap lol.

4 weeks will go buy quick. You'll have the wiring before too long so you can get started on that without the box. You're going to need to run the 4 gauge power wire through the firewall back to the back seat area, RCAs from behind the headunit through the center or opposite side of the car back to the rear seat area, and you're going to have to run speaker wire from the back seat area to each individual door. I just made it sound a lot more fun then it really is BTW...
