Wondering if the overall height of the frame is shorter or if you are body dropping.

It will make more sense once you all see the HU installed. The factory unit is approx 5" deep the Kenwood is 7". That was an issue. The ac/heater vents are on both sides of the HU and aren't 7" deep I also had to mount the Kenwood approx 1.5" deeper than the fake faceplate in order for the fake unit to fit flush. So thats 7" + 1.5" + 1"(for RCAs) = 9.5" in a 5" deep dash . I have it all test fitted and made a trim panel as well. I am really anticipating getting the HU installed tomorrow afternoon <--- LOL!!!!

Thanks sefugi! You do superb work I really appreciate your comments.

Looks like 48 sa-10's get loud

Finally received the wiring harness for the H/U! The ground wire is not connected to the factory harness. I will be running a ground wire to the front battery ground connection on the driver's side. All audio grounds are on the driver's side of the vehicle. Not a major update but a little something. Connections made Soldered Heat shrink. I do not use dielectric grease on connections that are not able to become wet. Wrapped Hopefully I will have the HU installed tomorrow. Of course I will post pics

Winter sucks! Chitty weather is a good reason to stay home from work!

Nice s-10. One of my dream projects is a bagged, body dropped s-10 with a gear drive 350

Let us know how it sounds compared to your 15's. What's your favorite 15 so far and why?

I realy want to see a pic of the back seat.... Get rid of the cap(!) or ground the cap to the battery. Ground the rear battery to the chassis. Keep your 110V components in your house.

Thanks Virindok, I try

I saw this build on DIYMA - excellent! This isn't my build but I envy the workmanship. Hopefully I can mimic the quality someday..... BTW the photography is excellent no auto modes here Gallery 1 Gallery 2 Gallery 3 Gallery 4 Gallery 5

Wow Impious you are very knowledgeable.

I had to revisit this build...I forgot how badass it is!

Thanks Alton! Everyone: please let me know if there is anything that I can do better!!

Nice box build and finishing work! I really dig those Neutrik connectors.

The removable fake faceplate is done. Kenwood hu is not mounted yet, still waiting on the wiring harness!! Mounted Backside Front/topside I will post better pics once the Kenwood is mounted.

I f'n hate having a small car Just fitting a 15 and a couple amps literally takes up my entire trunk

Nice box. The surrounds on those Fi Q's looks beefy

I have read subs forward port up works great for extended cabs. Max two 15's in this configuration, you might be able to squeeze three 12's in there.

Good luck!

Clean install

As long as you are using the proper size wire and have a good ground connection the length is inconsequential

I might need two ZCON 12's to replace my XCON15
