Marv88 2016 Silverado LS Regular Cab 5.3L

The sub enclosure is bolted to the platform and I ran all wires behind using Anderson Power Pole quick connectors to make it easier to install or change something as I am prone to do. I also used blank plastic hole plugs so I could drill holes the size of the wires being used and again easily change.

Initially I had decided to keep it super simple and just use the passive crossovers along with a little 4 channel SoundStream Picasso Nano amp I had (surprisingly powerful for its small size).

I quickly realized I could not listen to this simple system since I had no way to fine tune it so the platform with quick connect wiring and replaceable grommets proved super beneficial as it only took me 20 minutes to remove the entire setup as well as made it easy to swap gear.

 I had already installed the JL TWK88 in a friends car so I installed a Dayton Audio DSP-408 I had under the passenger seat (nice processor for the price however I like the twk 88 better so I’m going to get another one) and installed an old Kenwood 5 channel amp I had to run the components active (this is also temporary as I plan to install 2 4 channel ARC Audio X2 amplifiers when I switch back to the twk 88 so I can add my differential rear fill)

I made a little cover for the seat belt mechanism and installed an M8 bolt so I could mount the jack tools using the original hardware. I also added the mesh storage pocket and mounted my Maglite under the amp.

 Nice clean install as usual.

I love how audio guys just rattle off terms and stats on different setups. Way over my head but I bet it sounds pretty good in a straight cab.

Nice install and write up Marv.

Thanks and sometimes I forget I’m not on one of the car audio forums when I post here!
