Nice. I love how factory it looks.

That was the original plan but its a little darker than the factory panels.

Sweet.

One of the nicest installs I've seen in a while.

Thanks

ah i wish i had an Avy just for that. A freind of mine did the same thing (without the awesome subs, the sweet box with fiberglass, and the amazing amp, lol) in his avy. Yours looks awesome.

Just a side question, but 2 1500s can be ran off of a 140 amp alternator?

Honestly I'm not sure but I am hoping that with 145 alt plus 2 powermaster d2400's, ran at 2 ohm strapped (1ohm each amp) I will be ok. If not I have access to a dual alt bracket then I will run dual ad244s (optional GM alt) if needed. I'm pretty sure Derrik824 runs two 1500's strapped at 1 ohm (.5 each amp) on a single factory with 3 group 31 optima batteries alt, not 100 percent sure so don't quote me on that.

Nice man, makes me wish I could afford a pair right now :(

A week now and I'm still impressed. Just save up till you can get them, they are worth the wait IMO.

Indeed I will already got that ball in motion. Quick question, I was a lil confused reading the thread, are you powering them with a pair of 1500ds in the vids or just a single one?

In the videos just one 1500 I don't have the electrical at the moment to support two.

I'm currently still using the original 15yr old factory 95a alt in my Explorer. Its been clamped at putting out a lil over 100a at full tilt and its holding up alright. On heavy notes at full tilt its never dropped below 12.9v. I do have a lot of reserve capacity with the 3 g31s though and I'm also not the type to listen to my music in the 150db range all day every day.

I also ran a pair of 1500s strapped @ 1.3ohms in my '06 Yukon w/ the factory 160a alt, red top under the hood, and a pair of g31s in the back. On heavy notes at full tilt I saw drops to 11.9 but never any worse. That setup I would demo regularly at full tilt during comps and everything held up fine.

Thanks man I had fun and hopefully will get a little more time on the meter before I go to my next comp. If everything works out I will be in Ft. Wayne on the 13th of July.

i run 2 strapped at 2 ohm on a 15 BTL in my cadillac deville on 2 deka intimidators and a redtop and i have no problems... never seen voltage drop lower than 12.9 and i crank mine. i will never use another amp again. still trying to figure a way to get 2 nightshade 15s or 3 nightshade 12s on a extra 1500d i'm thinking about getting. i have a ohiogen one-off 225 amp alt on standby. awesome amps.
