Well everyone.. I did it. All four packages arrived in the mail today and we got to work! Went ahead and built my own box and just put some indoor/outdoor carpet on it. Built the box for about 50 bucks (which by far beats 300, and it even looks pretty sweet) pulled just about every pannel on the dash off, except the pannel by the door where you run the wires two of the tabs broke, I got it back on but its not real secure so I'll have to rig it up tomorrow. Got all the wiring done, mounted the subs and amp, threw the box in. Hooked all the wires up, turned the truck on and bam, they work perfectly. Drove around for about 30 minutes listening to it and testing it out and the amp barely got warm. Very happy with the way this system looks and sounds! Huge shout out to my dad as well, for helping me build the box.
