How about some pics of custom stereos

[AceX]

Not sure if this is the right area or not. I wanted to see custom stereo installs from all the different year trucks and figured this was the best place to post.

Please post Make/Model/Year/Stereo Specs

Mine:

Chevrolet/Silverado/1985

Pioneer DEH880-PRS Headunit


MB Quart 5.25" Premium Components in the kick panels; MB Quart 6.5" Q-series components in the doors


10" Pioneer shallow mount subwoofers (2); ARC Audio FD4100 Amplifier hidden under bowtie (which is a removable panel)


Still to come is an ARC Audio FD600.1 Amplifier and Kinetik Cap Killer battery.

who needs a radio when you got a small block

Damn that is very slick. Might have to look into those shallow mount woofers, how do they sound ?

I do like the sound of a hot small block for cruisin around town, but for those 3-4 hour trips...I need some tunes.

I like your thinking!

When I had my truck, I loved listening to the engine go...now I only have a silent V6 - so I need tunes. I'm using the stock stereo and an MP3 player with an FM transmitter...hardly worth posting pics of It does suit my purpose though as I don't have piles of CDs hanging around the car, and I can stash the MP3 player and transmitter while I'm at work.

Wow, that head unit really matches well in that dash. I too, was interested in those shallow mount Pioneers. Was gonna order one next week. What do you think of them, and how big is the box you have?

[corn]

Nice clean install, all the way around. Good quality equipment too.

I put tunes in my 89, but its all cheap stuff. Pioneer cd player, 2 10" subs & 2 sony amps with 4 infinity speakers. Its not much but its still better than "nuttin"...

[AceX]

Th shallow mount woofers will pound, there's no two ways about that. The bass isn't as tight as I'd like, but take that with a grain of salt because my last system (in my MR2) had two JL Audio 6w0's which are arguably some of the best woofers around.

Ehh I'll agree with you on the argueably part haha.

[AceX]

I'm big into sound quality. If a system can pound my ears out also, that's a bonus. Thw 6w0's deliver some of the sharpest bass I have ever heard.

[Rc 415]

W0's sound ok for the price, but they are the lowest line of JL Audio product, (I'm not even sure they still make them) If you are big into Sq I suggest you look into ID Max for substage.

You mustn't have heard different kinds of subs then.

JL No longer makes W0s, if you want good JL subs, go for the W5-6 or if you're an audiophile go for the W7

[motornut]

[tavenner13]

chevy/c10 short'fleet/'67

ran a clamp on the other end of the wire, removed factory cig lighter (wasnt hooked up anyways), installed a grommet to hold the clamp when not in use


attach the clamp onto $20 FM transmitter from wal-mart and BOOYA! 88.3FM is now my own personal radio station

i tried that with almost the same set up....but i could get reception,so i slamed the transmitter cable in the door jamb and drove down the road with it flapping in the breeze
