What sub are you going with and when is MTI going to build the box?

I am going with audiomobile for my subs, the gts 2110 s4, I have one already, I'll take pictures tonight and post them.
My appointment with MTI is the first week of October so it's coming up soon

Here is the audiomobile subwoofer, I will be using two for the build. This is one of my all time favorite shallow mounts I've used most likely only behind the stereo integrity which they don't even make anymore

Nice looking sub! What’s the mounting depth on it and what size box do you need for it? I have a 10” sundown sd2 that I took out of my old truck but I’m not sure if it will work under one of the rear seats in the maverick. It’s 4 3/4 deep but also has about 1” of the rubber surround sticking it of the top and needs to be .5 ft for a sealed box. Y maverick is suppose to be getting built next week so I’ll take some good measurements once o get it.

The mounting depth on it is 4.5 so not far off from your sd2, and .5ft for sealed box as well. So you definitely should be good for getting it to fit under the back seat.

Ok. The only thing is that rubber surround on my sundown sticks out an additional 1” not sure how much room I would need between that and the bottom of the seat for movement. (Think sundown recommended over 1”) not sure how much that would affect anything if it was less then a inch. Looking forward to seeing how yours is done.

I ended up doing one side of the rear yesterday, didn't get many pictures but here is some

Foam is in the D pillar, speaker cavity? Bit close on the photo just making sure that's what I'm looking at

 

[Juanderosa]

It's foam but I think its similar to those Mr. Clean Magic Eraser but that don't hold water.

Yes sir, that is mega zorbe from second skin, it's melamine foam which is the same thing as the magic erasers but has a hydrophobic coating on it. It helps with back waves and just further helps with sound blockage.
I will be getting more pictures soon as all the other smaller cavities will have rockwool insulation in them

 

[Juanderosa]

Did you put this under the headliner as well? See that they sell it in sheets as well.

I was gonna do it under the headliner when I get to that in a few months but resonix just released their fibermat 45 which will be going under there, then second skin luxury liner pro for under the floor

Ended up picking up the speakers and dsp last night from my speaker guy David with sound express and holy crap he wasn't lying when he said this is one of the most beautiful sets he has seen

I'm going back and further between a few pairs of components right now, the CDT's are a really good deal but I fell in love with the way the Steven audio sa6 sound.

Yes sir it has a 1/64 layer of lead between the two sheets of overkill, which is a little stiffer then I want, for the rear doors and floor I'm gonna go with resonix ccf which is very soft.

Only reason I chose the mega zorbe is because how hot Texas gets, I want to also fully insult it and the melamine open cell foam is amazing for backwaves as well in layers on top of it, I plan on trying to make that area 2.5'' thick, right now it's about a 1.5'.

Thank you very much, this thing has needed a lot of love, but when it's done it's gonna be amazing. Good luck with your build, these need some audio love and sound blocking and deadening

Did you take any before and after sound measurements?
