224ftlb Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thoughts are to build a couple 1/2cubic foot boxes for a set of Type R separates I have laying around, tweets on the dash or pillars if I can find the factory pods that go by the wings on the doors and some decent lol 3 1/2” for the crap location in the bottom of the dash and an 8” for the bottom end. 120x4 amp to drive it all.

Pete M Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 should sound fantastic as an alternative idea, I put my tweeters in the doors to keep them closer to the mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
224ftlb Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Got these in over the weekend. Probably could have gone with the 4”. Don’t sound too bad at half volume but definitely no bottom end. Kinda hillbillied them in, used the tube from an ink pen and a couple long screws to mount them perpendicular to the floor and fire them out instead of down. Had to do a couple notches in the upper dash to clear my pen/screw arrangement and gorilla tape “enclosures” to keep them from backtalking.

224ftlb Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 I finally had to put some money in it. Had a hp30 and 8.25 regeared to 4.10 with Spartans in both. About 2k all told. Cut and welded new 3 hole perches on the rear which let me slide the axle back the inch that the f150 leafs moved the 35 forward. The front got new Dana balljoints new ujoints in the bigger late model axleshafts, SKF wheel beatings and full Power-Stop extreme towing brake kit. New ujoints all around. Bought a u-weld-it bumper kit from scamazon and set a $150 marketplace Smittybilt Tiger Shark 9500 in it. Packed the bed full, changed the 20 minute break in oil in the difference and hammered it 1250 miles to Grand Junction, CO and hung out with a buddy for a couple days while we got a last minute thrash in on his Lexus, rear bumper, sliders and wiring for the arb fridge and inverter and a few other things. Changed the oil in the diffs, too couple other guys showed up from Portland and away we went. 600 miles through east central Utah, monument valley, Anasazi ruins, the Henry mountains and a bunch more. Truck did fantastic other than popping a sway bar end link and the ubolts needing a retorque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

224ftlb Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Made it out to moab after we got done and split up. I'm still trying to get the butt-puckers out of the seat covers. Got there shortly before dusk and had to finish out hells Revenge in the dark, alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
