after seeing what a couple of you guys have been doing on here with them i am kicking myself now.
Indeed, iv wanted one for a long time now. Full size fits me better plus i like older cars/trucks.

Looking forward to not being broke so i can get to some more work on it.

Today was a day for redoing the top job that someone did with the stereo

First i removed the old amp they had under the drivers side seat..

All of the speakers, ground, power, everything was ran under the drivers side seat when the door/dash speakers should be running to the head unit..
So i had to remove the seat, pull up the carpet and run everything accordingly

Its all back together now along with my new amp + sub, pics of the sub will have to wait due to it getting dark right when i finished up.

Here are a few pics from the work.

Here is all the orig wires coming from under the passenger seat.

For now the amp will remain under the seat, but with only the sub and ground, ect going into it like it should be.

So here is my 12 inch sub which is pretty large yet seemingly insignificant compared to the spare sitting next to it.

Nice rig man I'm jealous!!! I bet the belt is missing on purpose to eliminate some sort of nasty noise from the ac compressor!!

On a side note, it may just be how my tires sound and i haven't noticed it until now but, i hear this buzzing sorta sounds like a bicycle sounds when im driving down the road, any ideas on that?
