[QUOTE="Omega3dog, post: 5245584, member: 580111"] Let me know what you think of my 1st install. ------------------------------------------------- For starters, my Kicker 10L5 finally died after 6 years. Therefore, I needed to replace my sub stage with as much bass as possible, without altering the functionality and utility of my 1999 Silverado Ext Cab. I did not realized how large this task would become. My desire encountered multiple challenges, such as electrical, which sub brand, what size, ported vs sealed enclosure, SQ vs SPL, cost; all affected by space limitations. The install included: Eclipse 8v Head Unit - Re-used from my previous install Boston Acoustics 620 (6.5")_Front - Re-used from my previous install Boston Acoustics FX7 (4x6)_Rear - Re-used from my previous install Kicker KX600.4 - Re-used from my previous install Kicker SX1250 - Purchased on ebay Fi 12Q D2- Purchased on ebay DD3510 D2 - Purchased on ebay Xstatic Powerpack - Purchased on ebay Dynamat - Purchased on ebay 1/0 AWG power/ground wire 4AWG amp power wire 3 Fuse holders 2 Distibution boxes Tylonal Bunch of other stuff... Now, here are the pics... [IMG]http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr341/Omega3dog/Car%20Audio/DSCN0607.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr341/Omega3dog/Car%20Audio/DSCN0608.jpg[/IMG] It took an entire day and tylonal to install 4 boxes of dynamat to the entire cabin. No vibrations or rattles at all. However, if you are looking for a quiet ride in a truck, consider covering up the vents behind the seat. I chose not to cover the vents. The ride is not as quiet as I wanted, but at least it does not sound like a bucket of bolts.
