Just picked up a 2000 blazer ls after having a 4.3 s-10 xtreme short bed stepside 5-speed. love the car so far. just threw in a full alpine system, with 4 6 1/2" type s speakers a 10" type r driver, and a mono 500 watt amp.
let me know what you think.

Looks good man! Im in the midst of doing almost the same thing to my 2-door, except I have two 10" type E subs (that I got for almost nothing) and Im using 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch500 amps. But Im hip on Alpine head units and changers. Lemme know how it turns out when ya get it tuned

That sounds sick man! yeah so I have been tuning it and tuning it.. Finally I think I have it where I want it (I'm very picky with sound) But it sounds very very good, super crisp, the 10" is a perfect fit for the open cab IMO its all the bass I need. But it is very crisp and crystal clear just how I like it!

Yo!
Im in the midst of researching for a new system, its definitely going to be all alpine. i have a 2001 2dr zr2, will the 6.5" type-r's go in with no problem into the stock mounts? with no clearance issues? but im going with the components rather than the coaxial, hoping to get a little better sound out of them. I'm also gonna replace the rear 6x9's with alpine type-r's, im amping that with an alpine MRP-F600 to get the most out of em, but idk about getting a new headunit thats still in the works =/. lastly, im throwin a type-r 12 inch in the back, powered by the alpine MRP-M500! What you all think? I bet it will have some kick behind it

Those do just look like huge zip ties, but they dont look half bad in my opinion, just a different look i guess
