Small S10 build

Recommended Posts

LOL we should just get this moved and make it an all S10 thread!!!! Also on those 3 12's in your truck. I would mount them all 3 low as possible if you can and then run a slot port along the back window so they get equal tuning. Thats how my next box will be so both subs see the same. Also if anyone with S10s Sonoma's Blazers ect. needs alittle more from the alt. and does not already know about this take a look. I plan on having 2 of these on my S10 this year.

Works with the 4.3s and some say the smaller engines aswell but im not sure on that one. Straight bolt on for 4.3's though just need a longer belt.

yea i did that alt mod, then i had it built up to a 220 amp, works good. But huge difference going from small case alt to the bigger 145 amp stocker. I wanted to mount them all down low, but they are pretty close to be equal now. Dont really feel like toying with the truck anymore, found out i might buy my dads 02 sierra 4x4 4dr in about 6 months, so im already starting plans for it, the 12's will have to be sold unfortunally due to i want to keep the rear seat in it, and i will prob. do 4 sa 8's off my saz 2K, stupid thing i just sold 2 sa 8's lol oh well, ill wait for the new ones to come out!

lol well the 8's will be a nice solid build! I just went from an 06 F150 4x4 ext cab to the S10 for gas savings and I dont feel as bad as cutting this truck up lol. I took the back seat out of it and had 2 15" XLs in it.

Heres a vid of it....in the port lol.

nice!, i first had my box tuned to 35hz, but wasn't cutting it for me lol, My gf had her best friend come over, so i figured i could try a double hair trick, she was lovin it!

also, let me know if the video is dark or not, for some reason my lcd monitor is always so dark, so its hard to see it a bit on my computer, but on the video camera its good.

Nope they are not to dark Hostility. Heres one from the show. All of my wire,fuse holders and such came in so as soon as its warmer I will be rewiring everything. By the end of the month I will have my Sundown 3500 and hopefully both alts on. Untill then heres one from the show a buddy of mine took.

Cant say on the alts yet,my truck will be a trial run and see how it works. Ill have some pics when its done,should be a few or 3 more weeks hopefully. That and 2 Suburban alts should hold well. Also reconing to level 5 softparts and changing to dual 2 ohms so I can swing .5 daily before rise. Right now im clamping a tad over 800 watts @ 50hz at almost 4 ohms. The goal is 150db sealed on music under the back glass.Want to hit that before the 4th order.Need to find 4 more DB. Im hoping it will be in the alts,wire,batteries upgrading to a 3500 and recones. Plus a new box we will see. And having the truck at Slamology repping :)

I think I was peaking at 44hz. Ill have a vid as soon as my buddie uploads it. Did a 45hz and 46hz tone was all. Still thought it was odd,but no big deal id rather do it on music anyways :).

Also spent the afternoon tearing the truck down and redoing somethings. Also will be building a new box this week for a show saturday. Going to get that 150 dangit!!
