<font color='#000000'>Hopefully I can get it all finished in the next day or two. Get the dynamat schtuff in there...Button up the last of the wiring, finish tuning it, etc, etc....

 

Here is whats in there:

 

Fosgate 500x for the mids and highs.

Fosgate 700s for the subs.

Infiniti plates in the rear doors.

MB Quart components in the front doors.

2 Kicker Comp V/R 10" subs.

Stock head unit (for stealth).

:jester: Looks good.  Even though I too am not really in to the stuff I knew my 4 4X6's(stock rears and Pioneer fronts) just wouldnt work so I put in a powered 6" Bazooka.  Thats more than plenty for me.

Did you cut away insulation to put the amps in? Looks great

Yeah, I cut away most of the insulation. Then put dynamat in its place around the amps.

 

It's a loud SOB, thats for sure. But with the MB Quart, and Infiniti mids and tweets....It has the most crystal clear sound of any stereo that I have ever built.

 

I'm pretty happy with it.

did you screw the amps directly into the sheet metal or did you use another mounting method.  I just have my amp floating being the seat right now but want to mount it.  Let me know.  Thanks!

 

...by the way, looks good.

I hope I can get my sub in soon, my stock highs are good enough, I just want a little more bass. Also I want to play some ol' Merle Haggard ouder than a riceboy can play Eminem :jester:  :smash:

 

Wing it looks great man, glad it sounds good :thumb:

I didn't install it for any beauty contests.....So yeah. I just got some short self-tapping screws. And it was done.

 

However, if I were to do it again. I would probably build a simple rack. Not that I care about a few holes in the back wall. I spotted them with a silicone sealant when I zapped them through...So no rust....And if I ever take the time to take that entire system apart, it means that the truck is totaled, or I'm selling it. Either way the holes wouldn't matter anymore. :smash:

I feel like killing myself. I had two 12" Arc Audio KAR series subs I bought in September, awating my car, which took forever to get lol. THEN when I get the Blazer, my dad says I have to wait to put even any kindd of stereo in, even though the fronts were blown out. OHH get this, I took the rear speaker grills off, there's supposed to be 6x9's in there, the jackazzes before toook some speakers off a boombox and gutted em out, used the magnet to hold them in :lol: GOD that made me wonder...lol.

 

Anyways, I', lookin to buy another pair of 12's, or even some 10's, A good amp, a set of tweets and I'll have my cousin help me put it all in. Oh yea, I sold my last pair, shudda mentioned that b4 :smash:

 

Ok, I'm done rambling lol.

 

Looks good nut!

Built to spec or universal?

and from who?

 

thanks

I bought it from a local audio shop, they have a stack of them for Chevys, a stack of them for Fords, etc. So I guess that would be "Universal"....By Manufacturer. :rolleyes:

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
