With everything in the cab in the place where they will more than likely sit.

Another view.

Lookin good man! You are gonna love that 100.2, it helped out the sound of my speakers a ton. good luck on the rest of the install.

Yeah Im doing the wiring now and dusting off the amplifiers and whatnot.

 

[Trepkos 10+ year member]

Well did most if not all of the wiring for the amplifiers inside the cab tonight and decided to do a test run to see if they would work correctly.

Didn't go as hot as I was hoping, all amplifiers were recieving the right power and whatnot but one of the most haunting problems has come back, the remote wire.

Going to try to sort it out tomorrow, hopefully it will be a small fix and I won't need to remove the head unit and check the connections behind there. Prior to this installation, the remote wire was working flawlessly. But I may have accidentally pulled it and disconnected the connection.

I will be investigating that tomorrow as well as better positioning and securing of the amplifiers. I'm hoping to also install the subwoofer speaker wire, begin taking off the door panels and preparing to deaden/install the component set.

Hopefully...

Looking good, there sure is a ton of room behind that seat for that monster of a box. Should be no lack of bass in your truck now. Hopefully the remote wire deal is just the connection pulling out. Wiring looks to be pretty good, nice and clean all around.

The no signal from the remote wire has gone to a constant 12v signal with just the battery negative hooked up and without the key in the ignition which is strange, I went and made sure that there were no wires touching from the power to the remote terminals on both amplifiers...

Any ideas?

The Hifonics amplifier is a PITA to connect seeing that every time I can tighten the bolts down as far as they go and the slightest maneuvers like pushing the amplifer back a bit or moving it forward can and will cause the power and ground wires(due to their low flexibility) to fall out of their slots. The Sundown's screw down terminals are enduring with no problem atm.

Yeah just checked behind the HU and the remote wire extending off of it no longer producing a signal.

Wtf? :S

Fixed the remote wire by wiring it into the ignition.

Then I began to work on removing the old component system's components and deadening the doors, unfortunately due to time restraints I only got this much done.

Installed the tweeters.

Got atleast 85% of the internal wall of the door deadened, triple layered behind the speaker.

That is but only one door though, tomorrow is going to be a tough work day though. Hopefully cutting new baffles, installing the wiring, install baffles and midbass, crossovers, finish deadening and installing the subwoofer for good.

These crossovers though are huge and won't fit in the door panels so Im hoping I can fit them under the seat in the middle with the distribution blocks.

I like the way you ran the cables through the carpet for some reason:laugh:

 

[Trepkos 10+ year member]

Yeah its sorta my thing, my last setup was the same way but it looked strictly business with the wires coming out directly next to the distribution block. I decided to go a little crazy with this one but I don't regret it.

Hopefully this install will go much smoother than your last one.

Looks great so far.
