Q Logic Boxes installed (2 pics)

[PHOENIX]

Just for those of you who might be interested in getting some of these Q Logic speaker boxes. The boxes are kinda big and do move you closer to the steering wheel. Ill get used to it for now. Until I can get new seats and do the blow-through box setup. Here is the pictures:

This is a friend of mines new tatto.

Boxes look good. This is one thing which really gripes me about these trucks. No room at all behind the seats, unless you move the seat up. Come on GM, would it have killed you to make the interior 2 or 3 inches longer?

What is a friend of your's doing with a tatoo of your nickname?

[PHOENIX]

Well I dont really have a nickname. So I just picked Phoenix so people would know where I'm from. The tatto is the City of Phoenix's "Logo". Its kinda funny because he lives in Avondale now, which is just outside of Phoenix.

Eddie, what speakers do you have in the boxes? Where can I get a pair?

How do they sound?

[PHOENIX]

They are the Kenwood 700 watt 12's. You can get them on sale at Circuit City for $119 for a pair (buy one get one free is how they advertise it). Sometimes I think you can find them for $99 a pair. They are good and hit hard. I have had alot of different speakers in this same setup (MTX, Pioness, Rocksford (?), Kenwood, Kicker, and a few others). Out of all of them these Kenwoods sound the best in this configuration. Kenwood also makes a better small enclosure speaker, which hits alot harder and can be used in a smaller box, but they cost more and I cant remember how much.

Eddie, so the speaker came with the box? Not a bad deal. But 1 get 1 free.

Eddie,
I had the same problem. I raised my bench seat by using some cut unistrut. Worked like a charm.

You know what G. I seen you post that many times and never really thought you did it for speaker clearance. Do you have any pictures of what you did? Im pretty sure I understand, but pictures speak1000 words. You just kinda made spacers right? I think I will give that a try, these boxes moved my seat up just a hair more then the boxes they replaced. But that hair is noticable.

Paul the speakers did not come with the box. The speakers you could get new on sale for around $100 to $120 a pair. The boxes themselves are $140 or so a pair with shipping. I got a great deal on the speakers though. I bought them and an amp at circuit city on sale and got the speakers buy one get one free and then got a $200 Sony Explode amp for $70, because I bought the speakers. I actually bought the speakers because of the deal with the amp. Now I have 2 extra 12's sittin around incase these blow.

looks good

Awesome Eddie, I was more curious about the boxes though.

I've got 2 10's and an amp sitting here at home, and I need a box and i'll be set.

So now, where'd you get the boxes?

[bigd65]

well thats all fine and dandy and looks good to, but at 6'3 and 265 pounds, i cant afford to move the seat up. i was thinking of a way i can move it B A C K more

Eddie,
The unistut actually works like a spacer. The seat is raised about 1.5 inches. This way I don't feel like I'm driving a lowered truck. The steering wheel is also not in my chest. I do have a pic somewhere. I know I've posted it before. If I find it I'll e-mail it to you. My seat goes all the way back as allowed by the stock mechanism.

you should be able to buy pre-fab boxes like that at you local audio store for about 70-100 bucks a pair.

These boxes are nice and you would have to see the construction to understand why they get $70 a peice for them. They are miter joints and the speaker sits down into the box. Very good construction. I have had a pair in the past that were great, but they were stolen. I called around town to check on box prices. I could have saved myself about $25 and got some here in town, but they did not have the speaker recessed into the box, with such a thick peice of wood to screw into. I should have taken a few pictures of the boxes themselves to show you guys. Next time I take the speakers out, Ill shoot some pictures of the boxes.

I bought them from www.thezeb.com. They were good to do business with except I was missing some parts and it was kind of a pain to get them. But I got them in about a week after I contacted them. They make these same boxes for 10's too. There are a few different sizes, smaller 10's and larger 10's.

GCHEM: I would really like to see how you did it before I do mine. Im gonna play with the idea this weekend. You said you used Uni-Strut type material? What size was it, 1.5" (wide or tall)?

[gchemist]

Eddie,
Here are the pictures of the spacers I used to raise my seat.

[PHOENIX]

I would try that, except I forgot that I broke one of the welded nuts that the seat bolts into. The front passenger side seat bracket was cut to get the bolt out after the nut weld broke. Another reason I need a new seat. I may still try to work something similar out. We have some uni-strut in the shop and some rectnagular steel tubing also. The tubing isnt as thick though. I think Ill give the uni-strut a try next time I have the seat out. Ill try to drop a good toggle down into the hole with the missing nut, atleast that way Ill have something there.

How high exactly did it move your seat up?
My arm rests perfect on the door, and I would hate to loose that.

Thanks again for the pictures!
Eddie
