I SAID NO SHORTS SLANDER! 2 drawer setup with a 40/60 bias. Left drawer I keep my ball, tool kit, head lamp, etc. Right drawer locks and has the provisions for if things ever got SPICEY.

BARELY. I can slide in to open and access, but its tight. More pics. I am 6', 195 and somewhere between lean athletic build and dad bod that likes cold beer. Also, I will hear no slander about my awesome pineapple shorts. Here's a side shot to show the overlap I mentioned between the lower...

I went ahead and bought the Pakmule Scout last week. I think the answer to your questions are: 1: Yes it would negate it from the perspective of the Pakmule directly into the receiver, but it would still reduce wobble into the swing. 2: They don't do a great job of explaining it IMO, but get the...

Bumping this back up to see how everyone is liking their Pakmules. I am going to get a Scout to handle a cooler, case, and sandspikes/chairs/bait station for fishing the outer banks, plus other general things. I agree the Scout and the other Pakmules are expensive, but I seriously have not read...

Those of you who have done the K&N kit, 63-9040, how has your MPG been impacted? That's really the only reason I see to do one, I can't imagine there is an actual power gain (or one that matters). Maybe some throttle response.

That's what I'm going to do. The amp I got is a 500w mono, and is 3"x3". Unreal!

Quick update. New sub seems to have broken in nice. I am extremely impressed with the sound without the extra amplification. I am going to go through with ordering the sound deadening material, some polyfil, and the LC2i, but will likely wait until it's warmer to install all of it and the Amp.

I'm not going to mess with the big box and 2 10s now. I just put my Gun Vault back in and realized how much space that box would take up sitting on top of it. Plus anchoring it would be a pain. And you're right, I'm almost 36, so no need for that kind of bump. Recommendations on what brand of...

I've always had good luck with Polk products, the reviews were good on Crutchfield, and it was on sale. Yes, I did always plan to add an external amp, I just wanted to go ahead and see how it performed in the stock enclosure. Truth be told, I could pretty easily just drop in a quick disconnect...

Drilling holes in the new sub is not an option as the overall diameter is smaller. I attempted to center it in the box when installing, and the way I knew it was centered is that the rim of the new sub lines up perfectly in the center of the old mounting holes all the way around. Otherwise, I...

Thanks everyone. Got the 8" sub installed (Polk DB 842 DVC) and it doesn't seem to be any better. I know there is a break in period, but as you all have said, there is clearly a lack of power. I also got in my Soundstream amp and holy heck, the thing is 3"x3"! I guess I need to go ahead and...

Looks like exactly what I need. So one set of the factory sub lines will serve as signal input and signal sense, then just line out signal and the RCAs to my amp? Any issues with delays between songs of the LC2i cutting the signal to the amp and it clicking on and back off rapidly, or is there a...

I've already ran a line for the powerwinch on my boat trailer. I was hoping to avoid going back and popping more panels to run a remote wire. I just bought the small 500w monoblock Soundstream so not sure it's signal sending

Tremendous information. Thanks to everyone in the thread who added to the knowledge base. Question - If I wanted to run just a monoblock amp to power a new 8" in the stock location, what did everyone do for a remote wire? Is there a good place to tap into for it back there? Thanks!@

I got it loose and almost out. I am going to have to remove my gun vault though. Still amazed me that Toyota could engineer so much of this interior to just snap in and it hold, be quiet, and look pretty good!
