My audio install (With pics!!!)

[X-Band]

Almost done, gotta make adapters to put the 6 1/2" comp's in the front doors. Went pretty smooth otherwise. May tint my tails today

My whole interior pretty much gutted!

My new speakers, Type R 6 1/2 rears, Type S comps up front.

Ported DVC Type R 12" sub running at 2ohms. And the big daddy batcap!

Alpine 500W class D sub amp and 200w 4 channel

Only the best monster cables will do!

Prepping the rear factory speaker pod to accept the type R. DO NOT BUY ADAPTERS! :stupid:

What a nice flat spot for a fuse! Anyone know what those bolt holes at the fuse blocks 4 o'clock are for?!?

The type R installed and sounding 500x better than stock!

The 4 channel, installed under the pass seat.

The sub amp under the drivers seat. I screwed the amps into the carpet only and they stay VERY well.

looks good brotha. How much did those Alpine CS set you back. I have Pioneers, but thinkin about switchin to Alpine to match my HU. Good spot for your amp fuse. That is where I have mine.

 

[T0LLPHR33]

looks awesome bro...congrats...:top:

 

[SSSXR]

ill be looking to see how you install the components in the fronts. using the factory tweeter spots?

 

[X-Band]

Thanks for all the replys! I am going to try to use the factory brackets in the front for tweeters and for my speakers. Riding around looking for sheets of ABS plastic on a sunday is not the best idea! LOL

 

[XRnRElite77]

i just used plexigrass and made it the same as the factory twetter mounts worked amazing :top:

Great job and clean looking.... for better sound quality i would run new speaker wire throughout the truck its a pain in the arse, but i have heard of alot of people having weird sound issue lol when they used the factory prewiring. i ran 12guage throughout.

Looks great though and for the front mounts i used 3/4" MDF and it work awesome bro. the speaker has to be right up against the door or you will get acoustic echoe which sounds like the speaker is out of phase and really annoying.

i like the way you used the rear stock speaker mounts and how you ran you wires very nice job

keep us posted :top:

LOKIN REAL GOOD DUDE, THATS ACTUALLY THE SET UP AND SPEAKERS THAT I WANT TO INSTALL. VERY NICE.:crinklehair:

 

[revobreaker]

lookind good.

i like how you used the stock speaker for a mount, very clever idea.

Im gonna get me RCA cables like that and re-do mine

 

[X-Band]

my attempt to build my own adapters for the 6 1/2's failed so I will be ordering those form tacotunes. BUT............. check out my tweeter install :crinklehair:

Here is the basic stock tweeter, yes im gonna re use those mounts! not cuz im cheap, cuz i'm macgyver! :top:

I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel to remove the old tweeter. Be sure to get the bottom as flush as you can.

The Alpine tweets have a threaded body and clamp ring, how convienient!

All screwed in and ready to go.

Finished product

Hopefully your tweeters wont melt or burn like my Alpine Type X's...

Everything looks really clean though especially at the amps. for the front speaker mounts, make a cutout of the stock speaker mount onto some MDF. That was it will bring the speaker closer to the door and it will sound better.

Thats what I did and it works great.

I also used that same spot under the hood for my fuse.:top:

 

[X-Band]

I tried that, fail , just order the tacotunes ones and that bastard has the audacity to charge $13 dollars for shipping!

Ghetto bungie cord FTW! actually its a bit too much bass for this truck. I think im gonna sell the sub and amp

 

[808_xrunner]

lookin good..nice work

 

[DanNolan]

I got a 400w CVR 10" and a 500w sony amp to power it, not too much bass, just right. Got it all in the SubX enclosure, which is also pretty much perfect for our trucks.

that is a nice amp, I wouldnt get rid of it

that amp paired with a 10" type R in a sealed box, is a nice sounding setup.

I have put that in a few trucks and have been impressed every time.

being ported in a truck this small could be really loud and you could get alot of port noise

I think once i get my fronts in and can lower the volume it wont be so bad. Push to shove that little gain knob can always come down from "11." LOL
