Also wouldnlt alow me to upload all the pics in one post heres the sub box and amp,
It i'snt a crazy system like the backward hat kids in the civ bombs Blast lil wayne . Just enough to enjoy my music
And the sub box. To try and look clean i used the fabric from an f150 headliner to match my interior color to make it look clean Also the wire hanging by the speaker isn't how it'll sit, Just haven't had a chance from work to wire it in

Well a couple more things. I have a 2/4 ordered on the way from DJM
http://djmsuspension.com/application...03-f-150-kits/

Also i ran into trouble with structal rust with my box so I looked and snathced up a totally rust free box and installed it. In the process I stripped and painted the chassis as well as a new cross member and fabbed up a full new axle back exhaust with a nice magnaflow tip and magnaflow muffler.







Also I bought the paint for the truck, I'm quite looking forward to painting it, actually this will be my 7th vehicle ive painted. I looked at many colors and bought a base clear sherminwilliams in Sonic blue, the same as this cobra. Its a very different color for around here but not too obnoxious that i wont get sick off



And I'm also in the market for some rims. Im leaning towards 20's but havent found what i want yet. I'm starting some more major mods becuase this f150 will be retired as my dd because im currently in the market shopping around for an 08 and newer f150 as a daily
