Yes, that's my un-encrypted email Shoot me an email, and i'll reply back with an estimate. Depending on the length of power cable, you're looking at between $125-$160 for all the install supplies.

Hay, where are you in relation to Salisbury? it's just south of the DE state line mid way between the bay an d the Atlantic. The home office of the other company I work for is based there.

H2O, I was reading your post with all the questions and saw you were talking about building a sub box and worried about getting it thru the small door to the storage area. I am just wrapping up my install with much help from members on here especially Chpthril. He suggested putting 2 10" subs on the bulkhead wall under the drivers dash. After talking to Phil from Kicker he said I would need 2 cf of box although going up to 3 cf would be even better. Well after looking at the door I would have to squeeze it thru, it became obvious that I would have to do a lot of work with cardboard templates to figure out the shape and size. After some trial and error I came up with what I wanted to use and cut all the wood (3/4 Birch plywood). I then pre drilled all the screw holes and completely dry assembled it to make sure it fit together right.. I then tore it down and figured out how much of it could be assembled prior to squeezing it in the hole. I glued and screwed that portion and put it in the hole. After that, and here comes the hard part, I finished the assembly in the compartment. I built a 5 sided box and used the boats bulkhead wall as the sixth side. Once the 2 10” cutouts were made in the bulkhead I was able to reach inside the box to finish screwing it together and seal all the seams. I originally painted all the box parts with truck bed paint, but will probably go ahead and add carpet to all the exterior areas I can. It was a major pain, but I ended up with 2.75 cf in the end. I will try and get some pictures posted of the finished product asap.

Sweet man... I will probably make this into another project since the sub I bought will work okay without an enclosure... I look forward to the pics though and I know it will make my life 10 times easier to do it when I cross that bridge.

That is just on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay.. On land it's a 2 hour drive though... I dated a girl that went there a couple years ago... long story short it is not too far... you ever go up there?

Yeah, we do a 3 day conference twice a year. We were looking at next month, but they wont get it together so it will prolly be May.

Measurments on the way! (No Homo- lol)

Well let me know if you come out here for any other reason...I'll definitely owe you a boat ride to a couple bars or something if you're passing thru.... I'm going to make the measurements tomorrow so we can get the ball rolling. I have all of the components except for one amp.. The 450 W Kicker ZX... and the wiring of course... I dunno what is up with the amp because the ebay-er I bought it from has yet to send me a e-mail, shipping link, or anything for that matter... I hope I don't have to follow up too much on it becuase I have never had a problem before.. hope PayPal has my back. Anyway... I will get everything to you tomorrow! Summer is around the corner!

I measured the length and it appears that I will need approx. 16 feet to make it from the battery to the amp area... I added and extra foot but if you think I should get more than you're the boss.. I would like to get everything through you so just send me a quote and the best way to take car of business. Thanks!

Sent you another e-mail.. Let's get this stereo started!

[h2osk8er00]

I got all of the wire today! Thanks for being so expedient with the order. Now I just need to figure out how it will all fit into the boat! Probably start the project around the 1st of April... Thanks Mike

I am thinking about building a box for my two 10 inch subs, but I was thinking about going about it a little differently. My plan was to build the box with the front (speaker side) larger than the rest. I would then cut out a square hole in the bulkhead large enough to fit the back part of the box into, and bolt the front side of the box (which is now overlapping the bulk head) to the bulk head. Any thoughs on this technique?
