Posted March 11, 201015 yr This is my ride ... 1997 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab ... My Chevy is getting a total rebuild. Found a MAJOR water leak and messed up ALOT of stuff. Got the water leak fixed. Now I'm in the process of tearing everything out and starting over. No speakers or electronics dammaged. I just need to replace fiberglass, carpet and other interior stuff. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks ... Randal ... Will be starting on a-pillars and kick pannels and soon as carpet and wiring work done. I will be using a pair of BluesCarAudio 6 1/2s and tweeters powered by a Linear Power 2.2HV. Edited July 26, 201312 yr by Cablguy184

March 11, 201015 yr What's the rest of the equipment list? Are you keeping stock looking interior or changing it up alittle?Anyway's I'm tuned in. Let's see some more pic's already.
March 11, 201015 yr I TOLD you not to put that screw there............ All kidding aside, glad to hear nothing got damaged. Any revisions or just rebuilding the way you had it? By the way, your heatsink is here, I'll bring it down when I come to the show at the end of the month. Be sure to post LOTS and LOTS of pics.....we LOVE pics!!!!

March 12, 201015 yr Author Cool, Something I ain't got to fix. Sub box and batteryrack. sq-mgb got my rear amp comming to me so the amp rack to be worked on. Got alot of fabricating and fiberglass to do.

March 12, 201015 yr Definitely can throw out some recommendations. Some pictures of your kicks, description of how you did the aiming, what went into your decision on mounting locations, processor capability you have, end goals (assume SQ from our previous discussions), what you've done for deadening so far, and so on would really help. Obviously having no rears is step 1.
March 12, 201015 yr From your make of truck, Im going to guess that your heater core went out and a shit load of milky water trashed your floor and everything around it. Whatever it was though, that sucks to start all over again. Good luck with the rebuild.
March 12, 201015 yr Author This truck is being built for Sound Quality competition. My class will be judging spl too. I got ALOT of work to do. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. The truck got hit by a huge tree limb before finals last year. We had to replace the hood and right fender. The cowl/vent pannel was broke too and I didn't notice it. Over the Mississippi storms, water got everywhere. my kick pannels and carpet got the worst. Kick pannels should be built by March 27th. Thats the next USACI competition. A-pillars next. I will try to have them done too.
March 12, 201015 yr As the sayings go, "That's life" and "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all". Good to hear that the 6's in the kicks didn't get ruined. It would be a good time to put in some deadening!!!I gotta get some down time to work on mine. I guess that if I pulled my current console/sub box out, I'd get off my butt and get the new one built!!!!! Give me a ring, maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone.
March 12, 201015 yr Author 6appeal, I thought you drove a truck, not a grand national. You need to get it fixed so I can borrow it. Sounds like a plan. we can go over to Ray's and build it any time. you got your dementions and stuff? Did you ever figure out your amp rack?
March 12, 201015 yr Cablguy,He let me drive it once....took me a week to wipe the smile off my face! The car I have now is the fastest thing I've ever owned and it's still not as fast as that GN, or anywhere near as fun. I tell you this much....driving it is addictive!!!
March 12, 201015 yr Boost is additive. Why do you think everything I own is either turbocharged or supercharged? And when we look at new cars for my wife, she demands something with power, meaning a turbocharger or supercharger.
March 12, 201015 yr Author This is my current amp rack. Linear Power 2.2hv and Linear Power 502hv.We will be adding a Linear Power 1002 for the rear speakers. So the amp rack will be rebuilt soon.
March 12, 201015 yr We will be adding a Linear Power 1002 for the rear speakers. So the amp rack will be rebuilt soon. Save your money. REALLY. Rears aren't going to help and will hurt.
March 12, 201015 yr Author I have my rear speakers installed to where they compliment the front stage. Sorry but I can't explain how thats done at this time. I promise you it works. ask SQ_mgb.
March 12, 201015 yr Author These pics show the As and kicks that are out now. You can see the Headunit, Eq, and Crossover. You would be suprised as to how muck work to get those things into the dash. The work was worth it. Pioneer DEH6000UB / Linear Power PA2 Audiopath / Linear Power X03 Crossover ... ... Edited March 12, 201015 yr by Cablguy184
