OEM+ radio build, 2008 standard cab

[cmcolfax]

I thought about trying to do a floor box and so did my buddy but we decided we wanted to try and keep the floor space as clear as possible. I have kicked around the idea of building a sort of platform/storage space on the floor but never got around to experimenting.

I'm doing more of a "platform" set on the raised area along the rear cab where the jump seats were mounted, with "feet" or "supports" at the front edge, just behind the seats.

I got drawings and measurements from a Reddit group.

I'll likely only use 5/8 and the cheapest I can get, plan is to cover it with the same type of rubber floor material or some industrial floor runner type.

The OP actually bought commercial entry door mats and cut them to size.

It should yield about 4-5" once I account for making it level.

My pew-pew box is a front opening type where the front panel is hinged at the bottom. I'll need to put a spacer under it when I bolt it to the floor to create enough clearance for it to open.

The slow, slow build has a small update. I got an NVX XFDBU2 0/1 gauge to 4/8 fusable distribution block. This will take the main power, break it into two outputs, and feed both amps.

That leaves me with the amp wire kit with fuse, amp, and component set left as far as electrical/electronic goes, then it's on to sound deadening, strengthening the rear wall (3/4, 7-layer ply), carpeting or headliner material to match what's already back there, and if you didn't already know it, Bob is, in fact, your uncle.
