2002 single cab build start to finish. Sundown, Crescendo, Pioneer, Kenwood
Decided to post my build log for my truck.
Vehicle: 2002 F-150 Single Cab
Equipment:
- Pioneer headunit (forget the model, pretty basic $120 unit)
- Kenwood KFC-6895 coaxials all the way around
- Sky High Big 3
- Sky High 0 gauge power and ground
- Crescendo BC2000d amp
- Sundown SA-12s wired down to 1 ohm
- Custom box tuned to 35hz
- Deka group 65 under the hood
I may or may not buy a 2 or 4 channel amp to amp the coaxials....we will see.

Did the big 3, ran my amp wires, got the headunit installed, as well as the coxaials. Didn't take many pics during the process because it's nothing we haven't seen before.

Got my amp and wiring all installed. Put it under the front seat for now.
I also took off the back carpet to see what the back wall looks like. According to my measurements, the amp will stick out quite a bit and would be touching the back of the box. That area in the middle has the following dimensions:
Width: 7
Height: 13.5
Depth: 3
So I would need to find a 4 channel amp that would fit in there, plus the depth of the wood.

Got some goodies in the mail today...
Then got the subs wires and installed. All the stuff all over the box is little pieces of wire. I suggest not doing all your cutting and splicing on top of a carpeted box.
Getting this big box to fit in a single cab was quite the job...ended up having to take out the center console, remove one of the subs, slide the box in, stack some bricks under the box so I had access to the sub hole, then finally install the sub
Got everything installed and put back together.
I don't have the second battery installed but voltage didn't drop below 13.8 (usually above 14) on full tilt. It's amazing what a big 3 and good AGM battery can do. I'll save the second battery for when I get an amp
for the coaxials.

Got some more bracing in the box to fix all of the flexing. Down below is a vid. Pretty happy to get 2 12s in a proper ported box in a single cab. The video picked up a lot of noise from the back glass flexing but it sounds a whole lot better in real life. Need to wait for the subs to loosen up a bit so I can fine tune the setting.

After watching that video a few times it really sounds like crap. Doesn't sound anything like that in real life. I should try to get another video that does it more justice.

Sweet build. Them SA-12's are some killer subs for the price point and a 2.5 inch coil.
Not a big audio following on this forum, well for good quality gear like this atleast.
I run Sundown as well, a SAZ-2000D from one of the loudest Lincolns around, and a set of SA-6.5CS in my front doors. Sadly, popped a tweeter so just running the sundown mids atm.

And I'm jealous of the amp you are running! I looked all over trying to find a used one but I got tired of looking and went with the Crescendo. It's been doing great so far.
