system overhall questions (blow through)

[traksta15 10+ year member]

Lookin to get a blow through on my 97 chevy ex. cab, got some questions first...

1. What is the averag cost of doing a blow through? I know it's going to vary by shop but mine is closed for the next week or two (vacation) and I just want to get some ball park estimates ($1000, $3000, $5000??).

2. I have 2 pioneer 3000spl's and an orion 1200d, here's what im debating on system wise:

A-Using my current subs amp, not buying anything extra.

B-Buying the 2500d and powering my 2 subs (about 1250~ apiece)

C-Buying the 2500d and powering (3) 3000spl's

D-Selling it all and powering 4 dd 1008's off an appropriate amp (do the dd's come in dual 2 ohm config?)

3. Does anyone know where I can get a hard tonneau cover for a 97 chevy pickup? I want one that sits flush with my bed and flips up from the rear, none of that roll up for sliding stuff.

4. Where's a good place to buy h/o alternators? I want probably 180-200ish amps

Thanks in advance guys!!

1. and 3. You could just get a shell for the price of a hard tonneau cover.

2. i like C

4. it's not hard to find a HO alt for a chevy V6 or V8 a better ? is who has the best warrenty.

bump...any ballpark figures for the cost of a blow through?

the 1008's would be hard to find. they are single 4 ohm

4 1508's you can get in dual 4ohm or single 4

would be far better than the pioneers

as for price of blow thru it depends on how they do it and what materials. i know my friends shop is doing a blow thru in an ext cab chevy 1500 using 2 DD 9518's with about 4k on each.

without the subs and amps i think he is charging around 1500 for the work and building the box

$1500 wouldn't be that bad, thanks man.

So you think 4 1508's with rms power would be better than my pio's fully powered?
