At 70 mph I get 35 mpg, and I average 30 in the city. More than double the old blazer.

So today I picked up a pair of speakers for it (rear deck).


I love how big the driver is on these things.




Here's the comparison to the stock speakers.




I tried to hook them up to my amp, but I guess my amp died. It will only light up the indicators for 1/2 a second and then shut down. So I'm probably going to get a cheapo at a pawn shop for now. I definitely need a new head unit too, the stock one has a hard time sounding clear at high levels.

Thanks guys!

So I bought a 4 ch amp from a guy on CL and tried to hook it up and got nothing but silence. I think it's an issue with my stock radio, so that will have to be my next purchase.

I got it washed today (in 15*F weather) so here's some more pics with better lighting.












Of course, it's dirty again already. Stupid salt! At least I can take it back before Sunday to get it rewashed for free.

Ok so I ordered a replacement projector (one was damaged) and a pair of new shrouds and some amber led rings.


And a pic of how the amber rings will look inside them. (Not my pics of course.)


And a side shot.


When my tax return gets here (some time in March) I'll be ordering a Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X996, a pair of T3652-S components, and a T600-4 Amp. to finish off my stereo (finally.)

Needless to say I'm a little excited.
