8's? Right on! I dont see a problem with that at all with 3.3's and tuning.

I just heard a truck made 740 something with just a pressure box and Flux 6.2's. More details coming.

Mine is 10 ga...but "properly designed and gusseted" by yours truly in finite element analysis...strong as all get out...within 20-25 pounds of the stocker.

Flux 3.3's in mine...and I think they are plenty when you turn up the electronics. We will see...

Yep it was fairly heavy but as you can guess, no gussets were needed. I could smack a rock and never leave a dent at all even with the weight of the truck. The 10ga. should work great though as long as you keep it outta the trees. Part of my original design was centered on the fact that I had endless amounts of stainless 1/4 drops from the shear and break guys at work.

Looks sweet! Do you have the bumper lights wired into your stock reverse light's circuit? Or are they on a separate switch and circuit?
