Will I disrupt this if i remove the interior? Crutchfield warns you to find out before removing the seats and all.

its a 2008 CC Silverado.

airbags are veeery touchy, if i were you i'd disconnect the battery for a good day to play it safe

disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 15 minutes. that drains the system of power.

Remove what part of the interior? If it's just seats/upholstery... most '08 trucks didn't have side/head airbags. If you're removing the dash &/or steering, then yes... just disconnect the battery negative and let it sit a bit before disassembling.

Roof panel, pillars, seats, carpeting, and door panels. Maybe some trim pieces of the dash just to get to wires but thats it. I do have head air bags atleast in the front. Im not sure about the rear i will look when i go out there in a bit.

You must be putting in a serious sound system to need to remove that much!?

Sometimes I go overboard.... Right now I'm just puttin in JL components in the front and coaxials in the rear, powered by a JL amp. I am leaving the option of a sub open, depending on the sound. However I've already thought way to much about a custom console sub box. So it's probably gonna happen. Im putting cld tiles everywhere to help with some of the vibrations. I think I'm gonna run RCAs incase I swap out the HU later as well. I don't want to pull out this interior twice. They really don't want you to!

Just don't block your door drains like another guy did on this forum. He ended up with an aquarium in his doors! ;-) Good luck!

Lol I wont. Hmmm, that makes me wonder however if i should worry and do anything to prevent my new speakers from getting dripped on?

I think the door panel might already have built in protection where the speakers mount. If not I have seen speakers come with a protective plastic half cone for water diversion.
