Blow Through Speaker Box Pictures ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PHOENIX · 08-05-2003, 06:29 PM

Anyone have any pictures of blow through speaker boxes?
Any year of truck, doesnt really matter.

I was able to find some using search engines, but not as many as I want to see.

Would like to do it someday, but it will be awhile.
Just want to look at pictures and think about stuff.

The kind that's in the bed, but it connects into the cab. Hence "Blow Through". I've seen a few of them..but personally, I wouldn't do it.

When you cut the back wall out? A friend of mine had a Nissan truck like that with 8 12's in it. Sounds good in the truck, but it really does not carry good.

Yeah a blow-through speaker box is when you have the speaker box in the bed with port(s) going into the cab. Depending on your box, speakers, and ports you can have a hard hitting truck. I will probably do it someday, because I always want more bass (but still sound clean, not all bass). I was hoping maybe some of you guys had some good links or knew where to look. The other advantage to a blow-through box besides being able to have a bigger box and bigger speakers is you get the room back behind your seat. My seat is up a notch or two, which I can deal with, but I would like to be able to store things behind my seat from time to time.

Port sizes can vary depending on your setup, so the amount of steel you have to cut out varies depending on your setup.

I will post some pictures of some I have found.
Here is one from Truckin' Nationals last year in Phoenix:

What!!! cut holes in the Bed and the Cab

Thats just going too far with the sound system if you ask me, lol
I just want one 8 inch or so woofer to put out some sharp clean bass that you feel more than you hear and some good high and mid range speakers to create a strong linear sound...

Eddie,

you better be careful, or we'll start thinking you like white rice.

Come on guys, who doesnt love loud music?
I have a real good evened out sound right now.
But I want more. More bass, more highs, more mids.
Plus I can use some room behind the seat.
I think I will do it someday, but have other way more important things to do first.

So nobody has any picture of a 73-87 truck with a blow-through system? Any trucks (year, make, or model) will do for pictures!

I am still young and dumb, and need some assistance in loosing my hearing
