Want free horse power? REMOVE YOUR SUB BOX! LOL!

BlazerLT · #1 01-12-2006, 10:26 PM

I just removed my dual 10 sub box which has the amp and cap included from my truck and I don't believe how much better the truck rides and performs.

Ride is much smoother and the increase in pickup is making this truck kinda fun to drive again.

I know that every ounce counts BlazerLT, but just how much does your sub box weigh to make such a difference.

I hardly feel any difference between a full load and empty with mine.

BlazerLT · #3 01-13-2006, 02:04 AM

Oh believe me, I could feel the difference.

OverBoardProject · #4 01-13-2006, 02:17 AM

I do believe you.
You probably push your harder than I push mine.
which is probably why you notice the difference and I don't

You probably took a load off your alternater too , adding to the effect . Mine seems to ride better loaded on the heavy side though . Old suspenions are softer . Rob

take out sub box? Nooooo! i like having people living 3 doors down from me, asking me to reduce bass, volume was fine. btw LT, hows the non-smoking thing going? haven't seen ya around in a while.

BlazerLT · #7 01-13-2006, 11:09 AM

Truck does perform a bit better, I am not talking let's go to the races type power, but the pickup is there again. My box is quite heavy and is close to 100lbs with the amp, cap and everything.

Mike1224,

The non-smoking thing is going great. So great in fact that the money I save per month has now allowed me to buy a house. So now I have my own driveway to rip things apart in.

WOOHOO!

Congrats on your new house LT. You'll have to show us some pic's

Congrats on the house, 'LT!
Do you all want to know what I do when I want free HP?
I leave my roomate at home. (He's the poster boy for BIG -n- TALL) Now if I can only get him to stop slamming my damn truck doors!

BlazerLT · #10 01-13-2006, 12:14 PM

Thanks guys, pics will be up soon.

As for people slamming the door, I tell them right to there face "Hey bud, you mind not slamming the door please, this isn't a 75 Lincoln."

Honesty and being straight with people often is the best solution.....welll...at least with men. They often will say "Cool, sorry bout that" and the problem will never come about again.

Put all that equip on a scale, just curious how much weight you shaved off.

BlazerLT · #12 01-14-2006, 12:27 AM

I lifted the big lug out of there.

Definitely close to 100lbs.

That may be good for older people But.
I do not think the younger generation is going to give up there Sub box's without a good strong fight.
I do not know how many amps or HP them things take but I tryed to hook up a battery with one on.
Scared me to death I thought I done hooked it up backwards and blowed it up.

LT isn't that old yet, although he might be growing up

BlazerLT · #15 01-14-2006, 11:46 PM

Naw, this thread was not really a guide to weight removal, it was more of an observation thread where I saw a difference with it removed.

I think I am honestly going to be redoing the box anyways. The box is just way to big for what I need and isn't built that well.
