It's nice to bump all the way to the burnout box, LOL.
all my equipment including wire box subs etc (extra batteries and and second alternator. is a lil over 800 pounds. 600 of that can be removed in about 1o minutes with my cherry picker.

Door speakers wire and second alt stay in the car as they not worth removing
(the wire would be a pita as there are 6 runs of 0 gauge (3+ 3-)

not that i will post.

only reason i posted the above design is it similiar (not much) to the actual box.

i will post a build thread but there will be no images of box construction or the box in the car (except after the trim panel is covering the box)

i can tell you it is a extremely tight fit

I highly doubt there is anyone on here that would want to steal a design for a monster box like that. Most on this site don't even dream of adding more weight. Especially not 600+ pounds, LOL.
