looking good. How is that db alt working for you ?

 

[big scott]

its working great. i like it. but i will say with what i have right now when i crank it up it dips to 13.8v . with it down i get 14.4v .

so im happy for now. as i plan on adding a new 100amp alt. i think im going to run the truck off the 100amp and run the 200amp alt just for my system.

i just need to make a bracket to mount my other alt. down the road after i get a few thinks im going to order 1 more db 200amp alt.

Yeah I was just wondering you opinion on them because I have seen a good bit of mixed reviews. After you get those other 2 hdc3 in there you will be slamming for sure and I like the look of those first gen blazers

 

[big scott]

ya with 3 total i will need 2 of them alts and a few battery's.

started my door pods. desided to go with 2 6.5 per door.

lookin good i like how those doors are turning out... i need to figure out what im gona do for rear fill in my rear doors - but they are smaller some how than my fronts - so i doubt id fit anything bigger than a single 6.5 anywhere...

have you tested out those 6.5s for the doors yet ? im looking to switch out my current pair of 6.5 in my front doors to something along the lines of pro audio type mids that play the upper range ( 200 - 9khz ) but im a bit afraid since they are doors that weather / rain / water splash drips will eventually ruin a speaker with paper cone in the doors //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

anyhow keep up the good work !

ya i first put them in my center console and it sounded ok. the i made temp. pods on the doors and they sound great. i fooled with the angle of the pods first. that why you see them at an angle . they really need to be at more of an angle but i cant. so that as far as i could go and that still sound great there so im happy.

ya it weird there a lot of space on my panel but when you see whats behind the door panel there not much room were you can have speakers.

i wish this truck would have came with door speakers but they did not. only in the top of dash.

thanks buddy, ya they are turning out good. but my god i hate sanding ... lol lol .

im going to put 1 more layer of f.g. then ill have to wait till this coming month as i have no bondo . im going to buy that good stuff that's easy to sand.

when i get the next layer on ill post pics when i get the panel back on. then ill pull it again to finish it when i get the bondo.

nice build and all, but why mod a 2.8? why not a 4.3 or 350? more free hp

 

[big scott]

i wanted to be diffrent. plus did not want to have to buy another engine and trany. as i cant use my trany on a 4.3 or v8 .

i have plenty of power with this 30 over 2.8 . ya its not a v8 but i like it that way.

if i had the money and a place i could really work on my truck would love a 572 bigblock lol hell ya. i would rip this truck in half with that.

 

[big scott]

how many people say ya i have a modded 2.8 ??? not many . and like it that way. iv had many complements with this engine. many people think its a v8 the way it sounds and drives. so im happy.
