True indeed.

So far I've gotten the new wheels and installed the MTX Thunderform. Still have a few loose ends to take care of...

I had rusty brake lines replaced with stainless steel lines so now I can pick up where I left off... The Speed Grill is on the way :)

When you say MTX what do you mean? Like a thunderstorm 5000 sub?

If you want to save a few dollars, go with Airaid's MIT, or Airaid jr. Instead of the Volant. Half the price, and Airaid offers more flow + cooler intake temps (Justin @ Blackbear Dyno'd them and posted comparison). The Airaid MIT was tested with the OEM Paper filter.

Which Thunderform did you go with? The rear panel?

This one: https://www.mtx.com/ctye01bk10a-fpr-mtx-vehicle-specific-custom-subwoofer-enclosure

I got it for $586 from Crutchfield since I had a few points to use from the purchase of my radio a few months ago. It has been 15% off for a while now...so that shaves $100 off the regular price.

Thanks, Justin. I'll check out those Airaid options.

Yep, the rear sub (see the link I just posted).

You'll be happy with the Airaid MIT. I got mine used on eBay for $70.

Are you happy with the thunderform? Do you have the factory bose system?

Yes, it's just enough bass, not overbearing. I can see my rear view mirror shaking so it definitely pumps. I still have some things left to take care of this weekend to complete the install...like cutting the hole in the trim for the speaker grille, and insulating the space between the sub and the body of the truck. I also have to mount the jack bracket in the storage compartment and figure out a good spot to put the rest of the jack tools.

No I replaced the factory system with a Kenwood DPX500BT
