Yep thats right i just did that. Stay tuned over the next few months as i begin my first audio build. Some specs sofar will be a custom fitted fiberglass box housing two 10's, 2 amps, lights and plexi will also be used for a one off custom box. My ultimate goal is for high quality/performance/crispness. I dont want ****ty sounding base or staticy speakers. Can anyone clarify what tweeters are and if i need them? So before i start does anyone have any reccomendations on building boxes, using fiberglass, wiring or type of equipment to use?

Yes, you need tweeters, without them you will have no highs. Alot of people like myself mount them outside the speaker, but some leave them mounted to the bass cone. You can mount them in the doors by the side view mirrors. I mounted mine in the front dash as my truck came with the Infinity 7 speaker system and has three mounting points up there. Just make sure that you put the cross-over in-line with the tweeter ( very important ).

 

Ok so i started breaking down the interior today. I didnt get as far as i would have like cause i didnt have a torx bit big enough to take of the seatbelts. So i got the back tray out any tomorrow after i get some torx sockets i will have the back wall off also.Ok so i started breaking down the interior today.

heres what i have to work with for space. these are with the seats all the way back and resting on the back of the cab.

 

heres a crappy rendering of what i want it to look like. the center will have a recessed compartment then storage on top. the amps are gonna mount one on top of the other on the back wall. the part where the subs are gonna be rounded more once i get the fiberglass on.

 

ok so i got my speaker rings in today. i also got some torx sockets so i could remore the seatblets to get the side panels off. I also took off the back wall. Looking back now i probly could have take it off by just removing the 1 torx screw behind each of the 3 hooks, instead of pulling off the side panel. I would have started cutting and fitting mdf but it was to damn hot.

 

ok so i have been making some good progress on the box. Today i got the base cut and fit and also started the back wall. Around the seabelt for the middle seat i cut and recessed the bezel in place.

 

Love alpine stereo ****... been in everything since my first '79 volvo 240. Sadly my ram is the first vehicle without alpine electronics.
