: Subs Are In!

Took some time yesterday and installed the subs and amp I got last week. I also designed and build the boxes last week. They came out great and fit just right under the seats. I still havent decided how I want to finish them yet though, either smooth and paint or carpet. I like the way they sound but i can't wait to get them hooked up to an aftermarket deck then they sould really bump.

Specs:
2- 8" Kicker L5's
Kicker KX600.1 Amp
4 Ga. Wiring
Stock Headunit (for now)
3/4 mdf boxes approx. .75 cu ft per box

and of course, the pics

sweet setup. You should build an amp rack to go between them. How do the 8's kick? What are the dimensions of those boxes? Can't figure out how you got that kinda airspace under that seat.

Looks good, nice to see a system in an X-cab. Can't go wrong with Kicker. I got color matched carpet from PartsExpress for my 2 CVR 12's. Cheap and looks factory
