'07 GMC Sierra Build

[Ackrite 0]

Hey guys this is my first attempt at an active sound system in my 2007 GMC Sierra classic body. My goals are to achieve good all around sound with a little bump at all volumes, nothing too crazy im not going to be competing. My budget was ~$1000 and plan to keep as much of the install stock looking since theft is high here in Tucson. I been piecing this together over the past few months and is getting closer to install hopefully i can start this weekend.

Here is what I have as of now:

Head Unit - Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD

Front stage – Dayton 6 ½” Classic DC160s-4 & Dayton Classic DC28F-8

Front stage amp – Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4

RCAs & Speaker wire from Mono Price

Sound Deadening from Don @ Sound Deadener Showdown (CDL tiles, CCF, MLV) Doors only for now

Still need to get:

Sundown SD10

Sundown SAX-1200D

JBL MS-8

Power Cable for Big 3

Looks like a nice set up. Should sound very clean.

Also forgot to mention its a single cab so space is limited hence the equipment choices

I bet that will rock in a single cab.

What kinda box you plan on using?

Nice selection on gear, Im gonna be using those same tweeters in my home audio setup. Where are you gonna mount the RF amp?

Tuned in.

I'd like to hear it once it's all complete. Also curious to hear the ms8 auto-tuning enabled and disabled in another setup.

Plan on doing a sealed box snice i listen to all kinds of music, also plan on making an amp rack out of MDF and mount to the wall, I was looking at the Tang Band 25-1166SJ tweets to play with as well.

Ok here's a little update got all my sound deadening installed, great stuff from SSD, Thanks again to Don. The one thing i would point out is to plan on where the velcro will best distribute the weight of the MLV, stuff is very heavy. What a difference it makes, road noise is reduced like crazy. I cant wait to finish the cab floor and rear wall. Here are some pics.
