Chaseinbass 96 GMC rebuild sort of ?

[ChaseinBass]

I finally got alarm redone and all the added sensors - two shock sensors, glass breakage, audio sensor as well as pin switches in my tool box and tail gate and under the hood. I did a nice job wiring everything and put it all in split loom so it looks like stock wiring and I am very happy with the job. I will now finish my kill switch and then get back to audio stuff.

Well its been "hot as balls" so I haven't done anything on the truck until tonight and I got all the new speaker wire leads made with XT 60 connectors on all the leads and soldered on leads on speakers. Nothing major just saw the connectors and liked them and decided to use them.View attachment 26556322View attachment 26556323

I worked on my truck today, got up early and started at 5.30 am to try to beat the heat and it got hot 104 and overcast and really humid with threatening thunder storms. I did get it all rewired to my likening and ran it all through split loom and off the floor and up under the dash and pretty much have every bit of aftermarket wiring in split loom and taped to match stock wiring and it looks pretty good. got all the leads soldered on to the speaker terminals and reinstalled before it got to hot.

Your tweeters are mounted near the oh **** handle?

I got my Polks in and in the factory locations(updated with lots of pics on CACO page). Had to do a little modification but turned out great. Lookin' good dude....know the feeling when working on something it can get crazy. I may enlist your help on 2 batteries if I go that route. Not sure if it'll happen this summer but def next summer.

Got my subs rewired .5 ohm and got my enclosure back in the truck Omg is it heavy, and all hooked up but unfortunately I didn't get done till 10:30 pm so I just turned it on low volume as my neighbors probably wouldn't appriciate late night bass so I will see how it does tomorrow.

I really need to get my second pair of Anarchy mids in my doors, they're so cumbersome though.

I've been using them for ages and agree. My doors do not have an easy line to follow to build up a mounting panel though and I simply haven't had time to really dig into it. I do have some extra door panels here and I have been meaning to get the second pair mounted somehow.

I took me a while to come up with this mounting idea and they are sealed to the door itself via pvc and plywood mounts I made so the doors are sealed up with sheet metal over all the holes in and then the doors are covered inside and out with deadner all the panels and then inside of the outside panel is covered with fiberglass flex ceiling tile sheet. The mounts were made from 6" pvc and couplers and glued into plywood to provide a mounting flange so to speak and the fiberglass work on door panels is just to cover them up. I will be doing a little more work on them soon and I will post pics for you. I did have a bunch of pics but due to a computer problem I lost all of them

How did you get the 6 runs of wire in the truck? Did you make a masssive hole in the firewall pr dis you run them under the truck and just made a hole on the ground i. The rear?

With this method I can easily add 2 more pair but they would be covered by the seat , easily expanded and not really easily ha ha

Run from engine bay to tool box (battery's in tool box) inside frame rail and through two 3" holes and then from battery's to inside the cab two more big azz holes and I made grommets from pvc ******* threaded couplers. Sorry lost most of my pics so I don't have any but I am going to be redoing some of that soon too and adding grounds directly to my alts and will post pics.
