Enter The Darkness
Ok, it's time for me to start adding my updates. Will most likely be kind of slow at first, as my budget is slim, but we will see how it goes.

Got some average speakers for the back doors. Kenwood 180w 6 1/2 3-way http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...1-01202812.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...1-01203349.jpg (I'll add pics of the install if you want to see, although it's pretty straight foward) I'll keep y'all updated. Glad to finally be adding to the fun. :icon_speaker1: |
looks like a good start. post up pics of the truck also.

First step to my system
Little update, finally going to start working on the sound system. Still going to be a little slow going, but I'll post up as I get each peice.
Got these on a clearance sale for $30 a peice. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0357.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0359.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0360.jpg |
Amp and Box arrive!
Not the best out there, but should suit my purpose.
Amp: Dual XPE2700 400W Max, 2-Channel MOSFET XPE Series http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0365.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0366.jpg Box:Absolute USA MDHF12 12-Inch Dual Universal Sealed Enclosure http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0370.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0379.jpg I'll add more when I start up the wiring, etc....and when my new head unit/front door speakers arrive. Bout time I get some decent sound in this thing. :icon_speaker1: |

*edit* Here's the wiring for the subs, used the suggested wiring setup from Crutchfield's website. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0380.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0383.jpg And the subs in the box! http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0386.jpg |
Radio is finally here
My new head unit/front door speakers finally arrived.
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0389.jpg The stereo: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0388.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0393.jpg The speakers: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...r/HPIM0391.jpg Gonna get all the wiring done inside, and then out to the 20 degree weather for the install. Sorry, due to afore mentioned temps, won't be taking pics of actual install. But, most of us here have/can install new head units, so pics can be imagined. :icon_wink: |
Ok, so a couple of hours(sat in truck and played with my new toy:cool:) and some frozen toes later, head unit is in. Have my remote/rca wires hooked up as well. Took me forever to find a way to run those. Maybe I just missed the obvious path, but everything in the dash seemed compartmentalized. Ended up coming out the ashtray underneath the dash. Will do my door speakers and the amp/subs tomorrow when it's light out.(depending on finding that darn hole in the firewall, still haven't found it yet!) Also have to do the Big 3 and install my new battery terminal as well.
As I said no pics of actual install, but here's the finished product. Might try to get better pics in the morning when it's light out. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...zer/IMG109.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...zer/IMG108.jpg |
You have to pull back the carpet on the passenger side and it's very plain to see the grommet. You can't see it very well from the engine compartment unless you go under the truck.

I've read that on here before, and did have the carpet pulled up before, maybe again I'm missing the obvious. :icon_shrug: Thanks for the tip though. |
