Posted October 2, 201014 yr Its that time of the year when it cools down a little outside and you thing about how you could improve on your current system. Well my system could use alot of improvment. just about everything in the truck is getting replaced or altered to become a better version of itself. there for we have THE REMIX!!The soundproofing may seen exessive but this is my work office and the barriers on the roof would make it more comfortable in the 105 degree summers.Here is a list of components that are going to make up the build:-Bravox cs60cf components front replacing RE audio 6.5 components-Bravox cx60cf co-axils. rear fill replacing nothing-Sundown sax100.4 to run front and rear doors. replacing sundown 125.2-A long list of Sound Deadener Showdown products replacing around 300 sqft of Fatmat double layered and still stinks a year laterIncluding. Cld tiles, MLV, CCF, and butyl rope.-Sundown Audio saz1500d replacing saz3000d (too much power for this setup) subject to change4x sundown SA-8s in a new enclosure(subject to change)Alpine 9887 head unit with onstar hook up replacing factory head unitXS 1200, Deka 9a31, plus factory batteryThe A-pillars will be glassed and wraped in black to match the dash with the new Bravox tweetersThe doors will be sealed and deadened with CLD tiles, an MLV and CCF layer as well as treated with butyl ropeThe entire floor and roof will be treated the same way. I didnt realize hou big the inside of the truck was untill i sent Don the measurments to order the deadener.I already have 2 runs of Knukonceptz to tha back and BIG 3 done. i will relocate my XS to behind the rear seat to make room i=under the hood for the factory airbox.Im working on the A pillers today since im waiting for my sound deadener material at the moment...just ordered yesterday. Feel free to comment, bash, whatever floats your boat. Enjoy
October 2, 201014 yr Sounds like a great line up. Should be seeing a lot of Bravox installs here shortly. Lookin' forward to your progress!

October 2, 201014 yr Clean truck, tuned in for this build, curious to see the sub stage and the A-pillars!
October 2, 201014 yr Lookin' forward to seeing this thing get done... Also looking forward to hearing your opinion on those Bravox components... I'm at your service should you need anything I can help with...
October 2, 201014 yr Author Lookin' forward to seeing this thing get done... Also looking forward to hearing your opinion on those Bravox components... I'm at your service should you need anything I can help with... You may be getting an email tonight to discuss a different box design as JBLcamry is not getting back to me. im sure he's busy and i didnt really wait in line to get his help.
October 2, 201014 yr Just for the record a throttle body spacer does nothing on those trucks and especially since your in Texas a tune from Nelson Performance in San Antonio is eleventy-billion times better than a jet chip.I like all the gear you are putting in the truck though. Good luck with the build

Good luck with the buildIM very familier with the performance side of the build. but it was used on ebay for 40 bucks for the chip and spacer. since my truck is still under factory warrenty i wanted something i could take off incase something comes up. im glad i did because its been to the dealer twice now. but thanks for your input as any knowledge is allways appreciated.
October 2, 201014 yr Author A pillars are done. for my first time wrapping anything i think it turned out pretty good. I see one ripple in the passenger side but only in the picture. iI still need to figure out the "oh shit handle" its still tan. I thought about trying to dye it and make it work but that defeats the rebuild. i will just order a new one in black from the dealer.

I can't imagine how busy he probably is either. So I take it the last quickie design worked out okay except for the slight miscalculation in the fit?
October 3, 201014 yr Author well now i have decided to wrap the b-piller and rear corners in the black also. should be easier than the A-piller. pics to come later.
October 5, 201014 yr To the kid that said something about TB spacers, get real.They obviously add over 50 horses. At each wheel! Build looks good so far though. I'm tuned in like a thirteen year old watching softcore porn on TV.Once you finish all this up, you should level it by bringing the back end down a little, those trucks look amazing like that.

October 5, 201014 yr Looks nice man. Should be a nice set up when you get done. Why not bridge the 100.4 on the front and put the 125 on the rear since you have the amps already? They would love the extra power and headroom. Space?Dylan will get back to you, I guess he is busy. Took him a long time for myself too. It will be worth it in the end, the guy is damn good.Question for you on the tint.I want to put 5% over my factory tint on the rear doors and back windows also, but does it make it impossible to see out of at night or is it ok? I know it will be bad, but just how bad? lol

I know it will be bad, but just how bad? lolI am very limited on amp space and don't have room for the 125.2 also. Just to fit the 100.4 I need to downgrade my saz3k to a 1500d.On the tint, its hard to see but not impossible. My reverse lights are bright enough to lead the way. I vote do it!
October 5, 201014 yr Your car is clean, nice !You're keeping the sa's ? finally !Nice job on the A pillars : can you come down to Martinique to work on mine ???!!! Tuned in for this build.
October 5, 201014 yr Author Your car is clean, nice !You're keeping the sa's ? finally !Nice job on the A pillars : can you come down to Martinique to work on mine ???!!! Tuned in for this build.Thanks man, Yeah i think im keeping the 4 sa-8s and run them off of my 1500d. when i want to play a little ill throw the saz3k on them.
October 6, 201014 yr Author Looking good man! Love the wheels on that truck too!Thanks man. Lots more to come.
October 6, 201014 yr Author so far i have received the:Alpine 9887PAC module for ONSTARfront bravox cs60cf componentsrear bravox cx60cf coaxil for rear fillsundown 1500dsundown 100.4half of my sound deadener showdown. (ill order the floor and roof towards the end)still waiting on my dash kit, some more material to wrap my B and C pillars, and my box design.Needless to say im getting pretty exited!.
October 12, 201014 yr Author Everybody is in the mix with builds and rebuilds...IAK!!!Yeah, mines running a little behind schedule. Removing the existing fatmat deadener is proving harder than I expected. Plus long work hours and shorter daylight is making it harder to work on it on the weekdays. I also blew another sa-8 so I had to order another recone yesterday. Everything has arrived nowi just need to find some time to ork on it.
