Mitch86's S10 build

[Mitch86]

how big are the tweeter holes in the pillars.and yes they are pointed at the drivers and passenger.but now i run the es 010 tweets and 2 tweets in each door.one facing up and one down.the ones up are on the tweeter imaging on my xovers.and they get loud as a hell now

Actually now that I looked it up, both use a 1" tweeter, so my current tweeters may fit the pillars. They looked smaller at a glance. Problem is I molded the pillar with a tweeter cup from the old Orion comps I had. Not sure that they will work with the Eclipse tweets. Guess I can check that out and use the pillars if thats my best bet?

that will be the loudest for the tweets

Ok.. ill check fitment. All I lack is sanding one pillar and covering them..shouldnt be too much work if the tweets will fit in the existing pods. The only thing I dont like about that is it exposes the tweets to outsiders, which I'm trying to keep this as stealthy as possible. Which so far, it isnt too stealthy.

yea not much room to hide shlt.just get a good alarm.or make it so if they want to steal it they have to take the whole truck and have full coverage,thats what i did and the stereo is covered for 8 grand

Well, it started out I was just going to buy a pair of 8s and run 700-800 watts... it doubled and is still going. If there was a decent shop around to install it, I would get a decent alarm. But the only shop here is shady as all hell and expensive beyond belief.

find another ,or someone close on the forum

Well I mean its got to be somewhat easy, just need a stripper/crimper, caps (or joining method of choice) following the manual for what wires go where and mounting isn't it?
I'll be doing this when I decide to buy one, I haven't needed a shops help yet.

alarms are a bit harder tho , but good luck

[Mitch86]

I just need something to scare away punk kids.Not too worried about professional thieves that can disable alarms etc. I live in an apartment complex with nosy neighbors, so as long as it makes a loud noise, people will come out to investigate. Honestly, Ive had a headunit and amp sitting in my truck in plain view for over a year and no one has jacked it yet. As long as its locked up, they wouldnt really have an opportunity without being seen/heard.

you can always just get the flashing red light and put it on a toggle switch,to turn it on and off.worked for me for 4 years in my mustang

Small update. Got everything gathered for the install. Havent had time to really start installing it. This build is going a lot slower than I had planned, but it will get done eventually. Got the passenger door deadened and both of the mids wired and installed. Had to scrap the A pillars that I built for my old tweeters. Going to build pillar pods for these if I ever get the time. Might find a temporary solution until then. Think Im going to get a DIY enclosure from pro-rabbit to help save some time/hassle... Heres a pic just to keep this thread alive until I get time to start installing everything else.
