Thanks y'all!

@seth Maybe DSP really stands for Delux S*** Polisher

Update on the overall system I decided to bypass the factory amps and use two additional amps, one for the dash tweeters and one for the door speakers. I will not replace the speakers and will leave them stock. They sound pretty good for stock speakers. What I did want was control over the sound and...

So. Much. This.

Little Christmas gift from the younger child:
Merry Christmas everyone!

Also, I can confidently confirm that this sub is teenager approved! My 19 year old and I jammed in the truck last night at near war volume for a short bit and they were impressed.

Here's the design for the new under-seat storage box to replace the stock one. I might add some movable/removable dividers to better organize stuff.

Next steps: develop a permanent solution to "strap" this sub in place, but be easily detachable. Right now I'm just using a ratchet strap attached to the seat frame. Ugly but functional. Also want to design and build a new under seat storage box to go under the double seat, since I had to ...

FIN Got the DSP wired up to the factory system which was a PITA (yes I used aftermarket wiring harnesses so I'm not hacking apart the stock wiring harness. Learned that lesson a long time ago). The DSP allows for things like setting a HPF for the door speakers and LPF for the sub as well as built in...

@Bill

I found what might be an error in the plans. On page 28, the driver cover image description says "Cover for inlaid mounting" but the dimensions in the image are too large for inlaid mounting. Perhaps the description there should be for "overlaid" mounting.

Driver chamber cover flanges installed. Got the cab all sanded and corners rounded. Also got the "foot" installed so the cab is level in the back of the truck. Decided to go with Duratex as the finish as it's tough and will match the black interior of the truck pretty well. Also way easier...

It LOOKS like the top, forward corner where it first interrupts the seat reclining angle could be trimmed down a bit, so long as the new angled throat dimension remains greater than the preceeding smaller throat area. (Titans have angled corner bracing there.) Trimming with commensurate polyurethan...

Thank you sir. I will add the brace

Got the second side attached. I was able to do a test fit in the truck and it fits perfectly between the seat rails!

Panel 11 is now in place. Once it's set, I'll get the brace cut out. The brace is going to double as a brace and handle as I want the sub to be easily removable from the truck cab in case I need the space in the back seat. Also, can NEVER have too many clamps!

Ah, good tip. Thanks!
