we spent the last 2 days running speaker wire up into the front doors, up into the a pillars for the tweets and re adjusting how his head unit sat in the dash. Also installing the alt and placing all the speaker wires under the carpet and putting aluminum flashing on the front doors.

Tottally forgot to to take a picture of the new alternator installed. Has anyone else ever uninstalled or reinstalled an alternator on a trailblazer. There is a bolt on the bottom that is **** near impossible to get out due to a metal radiator hose being 1/8 of an inchy away. we had to use a wrench and do extremly small turns untill it finally came out, it took 2 of us about 20 minutes for 1 bolt. getting it back in was also a pain.
The front doors had a ridiculous plug on them thankfully we could just cut holes in the rubber gasket

We had to find some way to prop up the back of the head unit more so when you loaded and ejected disc the faceplate didnt rub the dash. We ended up using a rubber stopper and a factory screw. Couldnt really get a picture of it but here is the wiring mess we had to deal with

getting the tweeter wire up into the a-pillars. ( we are using Diamond audio cross overs for the vifa xt-25 tweet and sundown neo pro and placing the cross over in the back)

If you pull that hose off the door and body, you'll find that it's not terribly hard to run wire through it. There's a plug that unclips the entire bundle of wires from the body. just route the wire through the gaps in the side of the plug and run it through the hose. Its not hard. I did two runs on each side to go active.
I have 3 sets of them in my Explorer, they work well!Quote:

For some reason the jacket on the new ones felt slimey? not slimey but like it was lubed up... it made both of us think wtf lol.Quote:
