Cool, I'd like to see some more pics. Thats just a standard cab with the sub facing foward? And your just using 2 channels from the amp?

Hey, that seat looks familiar!
How is the rest of the truck? Did you get that header problem fixed? How about the idle? That was a fun truck to drive even without the system in there!

man i LOVE this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its such a blast to drive!
the biggest exhaust leak i found was the egr gasket was blown completely out

it sounds much better now. i am waiting on my new heads to show up and i will replace them to fix the header leak.the idle problem fixed itself after installing the egr valve gasket as it had a HUGE vaccuum leak because of the gasket missing. the egr valve bolts were only finger tight
i am still working on a idea to add to the amp rack now to make a arm rest and cup holder in the console. something that will be removable to access the amp.
i can beleive the 1.75 cf box fit behind the seats and i didnt loose and leg room

but the box goes almost all the way accross the back of the cab

Nice job man! Did you throw a different HU in there? Is the sub a 10" or 12", 12" IIRC?

thank you sir
yeah i put a pioneer dehp 4800 in it for now,until i can get a new premier dehp700bt.... sooooo sexy

the sub is the Ti12 i picked up for fowler, but i am going to put that sub in my wifes new suburban with the xenon amps i bought from mando. and im going to use the XS12 i got from fuzzy in the truck.

the xs 12 seems better matched powerwise to the ZX475's 250 rms
and the Ti12 seems better matched powerwise to the X600.1 i got from mando
the wifes new burb is getting a x200.2 and x600.1 with onyx covers to match the black paint on the burb

a Ti12 and 2 sets rsd comps for front stage

Twisted,
May I refer you here
www.denalitrucks.com Sign up and become a member. Look for Butch 02 SD, he does the programing for the engines at GM, he does what is called a Westers tune. There'll be a link there to the page. Read what he does, and what he covers.
He'll take into account everything you've done to the truck and then some. He goes out of his way and if you ever sell your truck and get another GM, he'll credit you what you already spent torwards the new truck.

Not sure, I didn't have to do that. I was a member back when it was allwheeldrivegm.com so my guess is that was a new thing when the site switched.
It's a cool place like here w/a bunch of real cool guys.

No, just the regular RSD, the Ti will bring out the rattles in his truck. Cant wait to see it on the x600.1.
