I was thinking the same thing. WTF is up with parents now a days? There seems to be a lot of younger members who's parents bought them Blazers and then let them mod the crap out of it!! guess I'm just jealous lol. I would have loved to have a Blazer when I was 16. But I got stuck with a civic like every other 16yr old, which I had to buy myself and pay for everything on myself, no help from the parents.

 

Haha it's nice as long as they don't try to overcontrol everything I want to do to it

 

ROFL! overcontrol what you want to do to their ride lulz!

I am jeaslous too. i can't hate (too much) as my dad helpped me buy my first car (70 Nova FTW!) And I was closely watched as to what I did to it (which wasnt much as my job only covered gas and insurance for that monster) but after i sold it when i joined the army, my next desperation ride (88 Isuzu Imark 4dr) really REALLY left a bad taste in my mouth.... $300 for the car, and i did what ever the hell i wanted to it. Sony HU, Kenwood 500 mono amp, 4 gauge wire, clip on rim covers, shoo goo to plug the ends of a split brake line (at the calipers no less) and one wheel held on by 3 bolts baby. that was one mean machine


No one controlled the mods i did that that bad boy

 

My truck is mine (except insurance wise) but my dad still has a grip over what I do to it to an extent... Surprisingly however, he likes the idea of the New Zealander Brush Guard I'll be getting built by my friend's boyfriend around X-mas time and the HID's I'll be purchasing shortly.

Keep us updated BlazerGuy

 

That's why I'm glad everything is in my name. I put my home and mortgage in my name, my truck is in my name, all my bank accounts are in my name, my insurance is in my name. That way I have a say in everything, and my parents can't come after me for any reason . Besides....it keeps them out of my hair, which is what I like

 

If I had the money to own it on my own I would lol but I don't so yea...

 

Let the madness begin!!!!!
I have everything! The build starts tomorrow! Heres everything that will be going into my truck....



Alpine Type-R 12" Subwoofer



Alpine V-Power 500w Mono Amp



Alpine V-Power 300w 4-Channel Amp



Alpine Type-R 6"x9" 2-Way Speakers



Alpine Type-R 6.5" Component Speakers








Wiring


Amp Kit


Speaker Wire


Aux Cord


Aux Input

I will be putting this in the line that goes to the cassette player. It will allow the use of both devices.


Extra RCA


Distributor Block


Line Out Converter



So this is quite a bit of stuff that totals to about $740, alot, but definitely worth it. As stated earlier install begins tomorrow =) wish me luck.

 

Only change I'd say is not buy rear speakers and get a bigger sub amp with that money. I have 500 watts on my R right now (not rated at 14.4v either). I'd love to have more power and these subs can handle it. Then you can run the front speakers active with that amp.

Edit: Looks like the MRP-M1000 will only be $264.00 on ebay.

 

hmm good point, i would have gotten 2 of these type r's only problem is budget and my dad. He can be a real jerk sometimes when it comes to over controlling and thats one of them, he doesn't believe in insane bass...kinda sucks. And then theres the budget. Im somehow managing to get my parents to pay all $670 of this and dont think i could get another penny out of them =/

 

I really appreciate the help. But that is an extra $120 and at the current moment i can get that money. I might look to upgrade when i do have the money and sell off the one i end up getting. I dont think that would be too big of a loss.
