1SLOW1500's Turbo truck build

[1SLOW1500]

Got most of the parts in. Subs will be here tomorrow. This will be a very busy week.

Think I may upgrade to a 3 layer flex joint. Are see it we can run without one?

Sundown 10" only 4.5" and a modest 500rms. If weather was better I would start fiberglassing the box. Hope this week.
Also ordered a different exhaust flex from vibrant. Need that tig welded in.

Sound system is
Audio control LC2i w/ accu bass knob
4 gage w/ 1.5 digital cab stinger 100 braker
Alpine pdx1000.1
2 sundown sd3 10"
Custom fiberglass and mdf box under seat.

Seat mod to fold down.

Good choice on subs. I had a couple EV10's in my last truck and those little bastards will take some serious power.

Yeah I have heard nothing but great reviews. Also other than true shallow mount subs, there was nothing in that size and power.
Also the shallows are 3 times the cost with less power and more cubic feet space. So it was a no brainer.

Agreed. I just made seat spacers and went with the fullsize, but their shallow mounts are awesome as well.

One was great again and sent out a free flex joint. See pics 3 and 4. I had a buddy get me the Vibrant turbo flex to compare see pic 1 and 2. I think I over flexed the on4 one to the point the 2 inner sleeves made a gap and the angles caused the flex metal to take all the stress.

On to better things. Rear mounting panel came out good. Not show quality but clean. I was going to just carpet the wood panel but hated the look of all the factory sound deadening. There is deadening behind all the black carpet. Bose amp is serviceable without removing anything around it. Also there is zero holes drilled or anything modified other than cutting the stock deadening. There is a 1 amp fuse for the LCS2 on it and 3 20 amp fuses on the amp. That is why the amp is mounted like that.

Sub box is next. I will fiberglass the floor and use that as a perfect cast for the bottom of box. MDF on sides and top. 2 chambers. Round all inside corners. Need to find the right tan carpet and brown vinyl. I don't need to but think I will make aluminum strap brackets to bolt through the box and to the seat mount bolts. Just for a more anti theft measure.

Do all done other than build sub box and tune. Weather is cold so not best for fiberglass. Seat mod works great. I cut the 3 hook brackets on the short side, because I was worried about cutting too much. It works but not super smooth, meaning you need to push the seat back before sliding down.
I was amazed how much room is behind these seats.

I know I will get questions and sorry no pics are possible. The power wire is run on the passenger side. It goes through the HUGE factory grommet behind battery, between fender and a pillar. In my option it is the best way to run the cable. Cleaner and safer than across the engine bay. This makes it shorter and in the truck all in the factory wire track, that all the amp wires are running in.

Oh the acu bass control knob is mounted in the drivers side center console side pocket. More pics later...

So that's the power wire under the hood and the control knob. Believe it or not down to my last 6th barrel of beer. Ugh...

Ran out of tape and need to find my wax. But the blue tape helps to see the shape of the floor. I have more square feet than I need for these subs. But when I look at it I want to push the back of the box farther back.

The capacitor is annoying anything under 10v it peeps the whole time as it discharges. Hard to hear behind the seats but it's there.

Also learning the trucks hidden features. Like all window roll down and mirror fold in. Wish there was a auto sunroof close with ignition off. May need to wire a relay into the switch.

I forgot how much I hate fiberglassing. Hope to have box done by end of weekend. I will tune box and break in subs before carpet and vinyl. That is 4 layers of chop fiber. I will pop it out and add MDF brace that will then be glasses in.

Weather is so bad, snowing. Not fiberglass weather. So I ordered more 4 gauge cable, 200amp Stinger isolator, 2nd battery tray bolt/hold down, Led control switch, and some cable boots. 

Plan on wiring it up so it is a one battery setup but when the truck cranks and runs it is two battery system. So if i don't drive truck and battery dies I can push switch and it starts right up.

This entire thread is what I would consider truck goals.

 

Great build and looking forward to more updates as warmer weather is approaching.

Yes I can't help myself. And this weekend is good weather so exhaust fix finally box built and dual batteries. Then I am ordering the BMF turbo with coating. And forged wheel. Then retune.
That turbo and my tuner buddy says 650hp+ is doable. Pics incoming,teaser below
