If you want it to all match in terms of darkness, yeah. I mean you can go ahead and do 5 over factory but thats gonna be pretty damn dark lol

 

Wirelessly posted

I have 5% over factory and you can no see in what so ever. Even with your face to the glass and your hands covering the sides its pitch black. From the inside looking out its not as bad but still black

 

tyler

check out my truck. I have 5% over everything. make your decision after seeing mine. btw, you have a slight tint on the fronts... more of a uv protectant. thats why when i was metered It came to 2-3%

 

I'm kind of wondering if doing something like 10% on the fronts and 15% on the back would be a better idea. I want my backs to be super dark though because of my system.

 

Ok I think I've made my mind up.... 5% on the rear, 10% up front.

 

Small update. Ordered my carpet for the box today. It'll be get sanded down and covered in about 2 weeks.

 

my 2 cents on tint...

dark windows attract burglars too... best bet is to use safety screws to secure everything in your truck. what kind of thief carries around a set of torx drivers with them? a window can still get smashed no matter how dark it is, but at least they won't be able to grab your stuff.

sweet build btw. is birch really that much lighter than MDF? would you recommend using it over MDF?

 

Good deal, nice update. That was enough tint talk to last me three years.

 

This wasn't even birch. This is called Arauco. It's $10 less than birch, lighter than birch, but is still very strong and has the same properties as birch. And the best part about it in my opinion is that the saw dust isn't bad at all. MDF covers everything and sucks to inhale. I would recommend using it over MDF. This box is just a little bit heavier than my box for my old AQ which is very nice.

 

LOL I'm very indecisive about it ok!

 

Shot a short video of the subs today:

 

Neighbors complain yet? Haha

 

Not even haha they have 9 little sh1thead kids. I wish they'd say something to me.

 

nice choice in music lmao. I bet it slams, my back window flexes but not that much. Play on my level. That song makes my entire dash and steering wheel jiggle

 

Haha it's a DJ Slow N' Throw song. It gets down more than the original. My steering wheel jiggles at the lowest volumes haha I'll have to get a video tomorrow of my steering wheel flex.

 

Sick.

Side note, love the pedo bear sticker

 

lol I was about to say, the pedobear sticker really brings it together.

Also, sounds good man. Can you hear that vibration on the back windows inside the cab?

 

A little but not much.

 

A short little clip I shot in the Post Office parking lot haha

 

haha, nice

 

Maybe I'll throw up a Dubstep vid later.

 

Couple videos uploading right now. Trying to combine them into one big vid though.

 

dang thats crazy im just happy that my rear view moves

 

Got an 8 minute video processing right now. It's a couple of videos combined. It's nothing special or anything but it gives you an idea how it sounds.

 

if the back window slapping ever gets too annoying try putting some tennis ***** in between the box and window. that's what i did with a few of my old installs... either that or keep the rear window open.
