new audio, alpine, JL...

[rexrunner]

First off I must say that I was suprised how little room there is behind the dash of these new tacos. The alpine w200 has the pac tr7 bypass, pac steering wheel interface, ipod cable and 2 pairs of RCA's. It took no lie about 2 hrs to get all the wires back there so I could get the radio to sit flush and snap in. As of now there is no power going to the speakers, I ran out of daylight :frown: . enjpy some pics, until I can get better ones.

[rexrunner]

ha ha, Its about time bc Ive been jealous of your truck since day one. I Have plenty more on teh way, just gimme about 3 days :top:

 

[X-Rizzo]

Don't feel bad it took me about the same amount of time to mount up the double din flush. It's easy to mount in, but to mount flush it takes time. I had major problems mounting the trim piece, when the unit flip down it jamed on the trim. I shaved the trim and wrapped in carbon fiber. It looks good, those extra wires must of been a nightmare.

ya I also have the 500/1 in black :biggrin: . The reason Im Modding so early is because Ive had this stuff for a while BNIB waiting to be installed. Makes it easier on teh wallet to buy over time. 21 Miles on the truck so far :biggrin:

It was a pain in the a$$. I dont like how I had to kinda jam it in there. I am probobally going to pull it out tomorrow and redo it, Im just anal about that kinda stuff, especially on a brand new truck.

When i installed my double din i rerouted the main wire harness to the side of the glove box... if you take out the glove box and look in where the glove box was u will notice there is plenty of room for all the wires... I might have to take some pics so you know where im talking about...

 

[rexrunner]

I Know what you mean Just talked to Rob and Im gonna take a dremel to the plastic behind teh dash tomorrow :rolleyez: I also cant move the harness there bc of the bypass and the steering wheel interface. I will see tomorrow

 

[1sikXR]

looks badass. I'll probably end up doing the same or something similar in mine. I'd really like both the DVD and Navigation capabilities along and I'm a huge Alpine fan. Good to see it sits right and looks good in our trucks

I can only imagine what its like trying to fit those wires back there with a double din... it was a real pain for me with a single

All those rca cables really get in the way, i coiled them up as best i could and put them in that little upper space behind the radio.

if you pull the center console out there is this small box for the airbags up front. I pulled all the rca wires tight and coiled them up and put them there. I will take some pics and show the mess I had and what I did to fix it tomorrow

 

[rexrunner]

got the rear speakers installed today. I also got a chance to sound deaden to rear wall. with just the rear speakers, it sounds more full than the factory stuff.

 

[Stevenredx]

wanna do mine next :biggrin:

 

[rexrunner]

sure come on down to fla. and your set. I have like any extra full roll of the sound deadener and a bunch of the closed cell foam
