Stopped by a car audio shop here in St. Augustine to see if they bought/ traded subs, not surprised that they said no. But the owner was more than happy to sell me a Kicker 8" 2ohm brand new in the box for $50!!! He said someone dipped out of an install and he wanted to get of it.

Now I'm building a box out of 1/2 board, he said I could use 1/4 but i want it sturdy. I'll post pictures later on tonight and tomorrow as I start cutting and building the box...

If anyone has suggestions or ideas for my build, I'm all ears. Especially before I start building the box lol

R u cutting this with a hacksaw?

How much internal volume are you aiming for? What are your dimensions?
Down firing? Sealed or Ported?

What year truck is this going in?

Cut it with a circular saw and skill saw.
Internal vol shooting for .75cft. at least
Sealed box
6" tall-front face, 32 1/2" long, 5" tall back of seat face
Down firing: I have 1 3/4" from the mag to the bottom of the box

Going in an '06 screw
