I'm still looking for a box for the subs so when I find one I'll post up!

Can't wait for these to get here

[ramthis9501]

Dang dude your not messing around lol tow mirrors are gonna look good!

[916Timmy]

That is an awesome head unit!!!

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Badass...is that the same headunit Jeremy has?

[(S.M.R) 101]

I thought Jeremy had an Alpine?

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

You're right, my bad.

[Matt]

what kind of box do you want?

[myoung84]

Awesome dude. Going to sound great! Ill have my tow mirrors next week!

[(S.M.R) 101]

I just want a good box... One that is best for the trucks but just can't find one

[(S.M.R) 101]

My head unit will be here friday!!! and my dash Bezel should be here tomorrow! found out the subs were on backorder........ but that's alright because I still have not found a box yet.. and I got my Tow mirrors but they were not power or heated like I ordered so sent them back...

Now I seen a set of the towing mirrors on a dodge truck around town here and maybe it was just the quick glance that I got but I did not like how it looked... What are you guys thoughts on these towning mirrors? I might just get a refund for them

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I think that unless you NEED them you should leave them off. I know a lot of people swear by them but I feel there's got to be a better way than slapping a huge set of dumbo ears on the truck.

As for the box, have you considered having Morgan build one for you? I know he's done a few in his day. (Sorry if I'm throwing you out there Morgan).

[myoung84]

I agree with David on the mirrors. The stock mirrors actually look a little better than the tows. I actually have a legitimate use for the tow mirrors or I wouldn't have swapped for them. When I have my ATV in the bed and the bed cover up against the back window, all I have is the side mirrors for rear visibility which suck for trying back my boat into tight places. I think backing a trailer will be 100x easier with the bigger, wider mirrors.

And on the box, I could help you build one or even walk you through building your own, but I have decided not to use my truck as a mold anymore. It makes my truck stink like ass for a couple months. Another option is a Fox Box, which actually fit in the 3rd gens without removing carpet and padding...

[(S.M.R) 101]

yeah I just hate the bubble look of these mirrors dude.. Wish I could fit a set of 4th gen's on there.. I'll just get my money back, Tow Mirrors are out.

I was going to ask Morgan but I'd hate for him to have to use his truck again to do another box.. and nobody wants to make a custom box for me around here they are all like we only order boxes.....Dicks..

[myoung84]

For the amount of labor involved, most shops would charge you an arm and 2 legs to build a custom box. You're looking at around $75 in materials if you build your own.

What kind of tools do you have available? You could build one with a circular saw and a jig saw, but a table saw makes things a little easier. Then you just need the fiberglass mat and resin.

[(S.M.R) 101]

I would have my brother in Arkansas build me one he makes amazing boxes but he is a dick and we do not get along very well.... so he's out

[myoung84]

Lol.

[(S.M.R) 101]

I was looking at the fox box for the 2 10's but not sure if I wanna go that route.. Not a fan of the new boxes they have in production right now.. Wish I could land on an old verison of the box but can't find one anywhere.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Hell, just do a full custom setup and install the subs facing up IN the seats...that way the ladies that ride in the back will get a HELL of a ride!

[(S.M.R) 101]

hahaha now that's an idea Dave!

how much did you spend on them?? i like them on the lifted trucks but not so much on the stock size ones especially if you have wide tires

exactly its alot more labor then most people think .. they want a custom box for 100 bucks and then want to get mad when you say no lol

btw i'm talking in general not about you lol

[myoung84]

I agree. If you factor in materials and about 6-8 hours labor, at a conservative $25/hr, you are well over $200. Then if you figure a stereo shop doing the work with large overhead, that labor cost could get upwards of $75-100/hr. If I was running a stereo shop, I wouldn't build the box I have for less than $500.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

So in other words when I need one I'll just ask you to help me. :D

i completely agree for the box i have ...

[myoung84]

So in other words when I need one I'll just ask you to help me. :D

I'll be here. :)

[(S.M.R) 101]

I'd pay it if someone would build it... But no one wants to build one for me here they all just want to order one

[OklaHemi]

i have one but its ported, i wish it were sealed. but it is a really nice box. it lives up to the hype

[(S.M.R) 101]

Ohh what's that Mike you want to sell me your ported box?? damn dude your too nice send it my way :D

[Matt]

what exactly do you want??

[(S.M.R) 101]

A box for 2 10's..... Just a box that is actually worth buying that is better than most "Walmart" boxes that are sold today

[myoung84]

I think a fox box or custom fiberglass box is your only option.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Dude...it's a damn good price for a dual 10" vented box...and shipped!

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa122/01RedZQ8/kyleboxcart.jpg

[myoung84]

Hell yeah it is! I'd have a hard time building and shipping a box for that much! Wonder why he doesn't make a dual sealed box?

[Matt]

seems like people just want more output now-a-days and ported boxes most of the time offer more output

[(S.M.R) 101]

yeah I was looking at that box today and it is a really good price. Don't you have to relocate the cup holders with the new fox box? and it comes in like 3 different parts.. So I hear..

F it i'll just order that one..

Thanks guys

[Matt]

can you find pics of this??

[(S.M.R) 101]

I can't find any for this box.. But a member on one of the forums bought one and was saying that you have to relocate the cupholders and you have to put the box together when you get it.. I'll try and find the post and see if I can nab sme pic's

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Even if you do, how hard can it be?

[(S.M.R) 101]

ehh... i'm sure it's simple i'm sure I can figure it out

[(S.M.R) 101]

http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x355/Kyle_Andress/IMG_0926.jpg

got it

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Nice piece. Is it a true Mopar piece?

[Matt]

looks just like mine so yeah i'd say it is ...

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yes Dave this is the actual mopar nav bezel

[OklaHemi]

sweet im have been hinting that i need a double din but it will have to wait. i have 4 major events coming up in the next 2 months and we are paying for every thing ourselves. i really really believe the next mod i do will be a train horn. i need one badly

[Matt]

did you end up buying that box? what don't you like about your current one?

[(S.M.R) 101]

No I have not orderd yet.. I wanted to see how much difference the new HU would make it sound.. and the sound was 10X better than the stock raido..

The reason I was looking for a new box is because I ordered 10's and I have 12's so my current box won't work.

[fast_Orange]

do you have to order that bezel to when you go to an aftermarket head unit?

[(S.M.R) 101]

only if you go from a single din to a double.. I know ours are technically a double din but you have to order a new one if you buy a double din HU

[ramthis9501]

Not sure if you said anything about it last night, but did you get a new box for the subs?

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yeah a box for some 10's so ill be getting rid of these 12's I have now

[ramthis9501]

Sweet get some pics up of it when you can!

[fast_Orange]

Yea I thought about getting a pioneer double din. It's the avh-p3200. I just didn't know how expensive it was gonna be to install it, especially since I have no experience with wiring.

[(S.M.R) 101]

Yeah its a pain in the ass if your not familiar with wiring.. I have a friend that owns a audio shop so I always have him do my audio stuff... I just hate messing with the audio stuff.

[Matt]

i can meet you in seminole and help you out way cheaper than any shop will charge you

[OklaHemi]

there you go^

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I would take Matt up on his offer...he has a slight audio addiction.

[Matt]

noooo... lol not me

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Shit...I've seen the past cars and your little stash of audio stuff.

[ramthis9501]

I'll back Dave's statement lol he's got an addiction

[fast_Orange]

lol well when i get the money set aside and my mind made up on the mod i wanna do, ill definitely be letting matt know. thank you for the offer matt.
