Why are you running wires into the door?
Your really don’t want to have those stupid door speakers, the fire into you and not UP TO YOU! Get something like the q-form kick panel mounts, they are made for the geometry of our trucks, that's what I have and they rock!
Link to kick panel pods...
Here are the rear 6x9 mounting pods, all ready to be welded, after that I will heat and massage any imperfections out of them, sandblast, weld in truck, then the truck is off to get line-Xed (as I will also line X these).
One thing not in the pics is the speaker grille, I found a square black...
pic 2of2 of mock up. I hope to have the fab work done tonight on this aspect of my sound system.
*I will also be fabbing a mount under the drivers seat for the amp, and mounting tabs for the crossovers for my 6.5 components.
-----------UPDATE-----------
Here is the mock up for the rear 6x9 speakers,
they will be about 48" from the driver (pass speaker to driver), which means that all the speakers will have a range to driver to pass of +-1", so the sound imaging should be good.
I guess I need to call LMC up as they are taking forever to get my door panels to me, also I think I need to get this truck done all the stuff is taking over my house! lol
Right now I have most everything I need for the audio, I got the new dash pad and such as well (all black), though I still need my door panels to get in (B/O from LMC 2wks) and find a set of pwr window regulators for the front and rear, once I get everything I will get it all done together.
I...
Well I just ordered off for the last bit of everything (as the kickpanel mounts and dashpad were out of stock) for the truck (as I want to just spend like 2 days straight and have the thing done), so I will be posting the pics of it all in a little under a week from now...
Well I got my 6x9s one set of my 3.5s (I am using the LMC truck center speaker adapter bracket that is set to accept dual 3.5s to replace the center speaker, this way I will have a dual center speakers along with the side dash speakers), my Kenwood deck, ipod adapter, so I still am waiting for...
Ok, did some poking around w/ the multimeter, I will be going w/ the front batt. as it is the way I have always done it,
+ The junction box on the drivers side next to the glow plug relay that someone mentioned is 12v BUT does not look like a place where one would want to draw up to 60AMPS...
Oh yea this IS a CIVVY amp so it is not 24v.
It's a Infinity Reference 7541A
» 4-channel car amplifier
» 111 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (139 watts x 4 at 2 ohms)
» 278 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)
» front and rear variable high-/low-pass...
I am getting ready to install a sound system in my CUCV, I am going to be using a 500wat Amp for the speakers (4 channel), where is the best place to tap into to, where I can get 60amps, is there anywhere on the power block on the fire wall or maybe the old military radio power cables???
Where...
