ARMYKYLE1's Blazer build! GFY it's slowwww

Recommended Posts

Well, first off. This is going to be off to a slow start. As some of you know, I totaled out my beloved daewoo and did not have full coverage. I was also between jobs when it happened.

So I just picked this 2dr, 4wd blazer today, literally. I got it for a good deal. It needs some work, but it'll be worth it. I got some shit to fix on it, A/C, some suspension work, and I think the front axle solenoid is bad, I hear the transfercase solenoid kicking in, but no pull from the front. Few little nick nack things to fix. No biggie, I'm good at turning a wrench.

Any way, I'm pretty well broke right now, until I get steady cash coming in. Most likely the build will start with one of my BC3500's on one of my ufo BTL/Zv3 hybrid 18's. I'll be running xs power batteries all around, I've got 3 D3100's all and will most likely pick up 3 more.

Also as some of you know, I won that IA contest a few months ago. I'm still waiting for their new wardens to show and amps.


6-7 D3100's

1 Mechman 370 amp alt

2 IA comp sets per door, one actual dedicated mid bass and an decent super tweet per door.


Haven't fully decided on wire yet, but something sliver tinned smile.png


There will be some vehicle mods besides car audio too smile.png

some daewoo stuff first sad.png

I'll be doing some work on it today. Priority is getting a tune up done(cap, rotor, plugs and wires) Drivers side door panel has two broken mounts, so I'll be fixing that today too.

Awesome looking 2dr Blazer !!!

I'll see what I can do, I dunno how my schedule will be with my new job(cable guy lol) I really want to make it to SBN, but I don't think I'll have a worthy build by then...

Thanks, you have to be though. Being sad and depressed will never get you anywhere. The only person who can change your life is you.

Sounds good. I did a 91 on the initial assessment test. I'm sure I'll have some questions though lol. I'll see what I can do to make it to that show.

I smashed the shit out of it lol.

will be very nice to see a IA build

that warden & m4a combo will slam really hard smile.png

I'll rock two IA40.1's first, if I don't think it's enough power, I'll upgrade to M4a's

It's going to be off to a slow start.

Plans are

6 Incriminator Audio Death penalty 15' in a flat wall.

3 Incriminator Audio IA40.1's

3 Incriminator Audio IA6.4's

4 Incriminator Audio I6.5 comp sets

Dedicated mid bass, most likely my mpyre 6.5s

Some kind of a decent super tweeter(keep up with the bass)

XS power batteries

MechMan 270 or 320amp alt

Haven't decided on deadener yet. It will either be second skin or stinger

CAI-will decide later on

Most likely a PCMforless tune

Projectors up front and eventually upgrade all the lights

Get a matching spare

Maybe a push bar

Lots of little stuff

Replace drivers door

Here's what's going on today. This is just stuff to hold me over until the big gear arrives.

Most likely best for demoing too. Stacking to one side would meter better though.

No audio updates still :(

Finally got the old sway bar links off. I burned up all my dremle tool cutting wheels and had to resort to a hack saw... It was a nightmare.
