Re: 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
Got this shirt free at the strip club Saturday night with the purchase of a private dance during some special hour they had going on:

On to the vehicle. Installed my HU and ran the RCA's yesterday:

So no music right now :/
Did my alternator and front battery today. Was a bit of a hassle putting it in, I needed a bigger belt than what was on there and didn't find out until I was trying to put it on. Had to put the old alt back in and run to Autozone. Here are some comparison pics:

I'm really proud of that ground. Got a little happy with the torch when I was doing the heatshrink and toasted the loom a little on the one end. Oh well.
So, just waiting on cash. Rear batts and sub box is about what's left. Door panels still need work too, but I've kinda pushed those aside.

And so it's begun, the part that anyone really cares about (which is sad lol):

Was a bitch getting that wood up to my 3rd floor apartment in the 102 degree heat.
Here's the design for reference:

I do have a question here though. Would it be better to have separate chambers and leave that middle brace whole with no cutouts, or one combined chamber and cut out the windows?

Got the basics assembled:

Now I'm going to be cutting out all 4 baffles, then staining the outer 2 baffles. Should match the amp rack well.

Replaced the belt with a smaller one. Went from 967 to 960. Before:

Cut one of the flush baffles. This is it just placed on top:

Will be cutting the top flush baffle tomorrow. Still haven't decided what order I want to stain, carpet the box, and glue the baffles on in. I think I might glue the baffles on, carpet the box, and then stain the baffles last. I think that might work the best.
Re: 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
Got the two baffles cut and routed with a 1/8" roundover:

Re: 1999 Chevrolet Blazer
More work on muh box. Dcar, I wish I would have seen your post earlier. I seen it after I glued and was going through this thread. I then added screws from the inside, can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks though man! Here it is being glued down:

I'll be using these binding posts. I really like these, used them on my last two boxes too.

Final mockup before stain and carpet. And of course, I had to snap a few extra pics :)
