I actually almost went with knuknoceptz wire but when I finally get around to buying some kicker amps it extends the warranty by running a kicker wiring kit. Also when it comes down to it the kicker is only about 20 more because of shipping. I saw a picture of them compared and the kicker wire is a bit bigger.

 

Dudewith4x4.... just caught this thread and read through it. Great looking truck man I thought the 4 subs were a little excessive though. As far as the Mamma Tried sticker, I first thought of (one of my favorite bands) Lynyrd Skynyrd but I know the Hank tune also. I would relate the Momma Tried and the Confederate stuff to Skynyrd before H.W. but whatever.

Anyways, great job on the truck so far Now spend a little time on spelling

 

Thanks for the compliments man! I didnt know lynyrd skynyrd and Hank sang Momma tried also? I was refering to Merle Haggard when I put it on there, I think he was the orginal to sing it. Its ironic that you mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd because this weekend Im driving my truck to a Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZtop concert this weekend

As for the spelling you would think that since I just graduated I would have spelling fresh on my mind still but I guess I rush to much:P

 

Haha that concerts gonna be sweet man. I saw zz top last year it was awesome!

 

Great choice on the Alpine radio. I have the sam one except it lights up blue. Now you need to get satellite radio. I got mine a month ago and I love it, will never here those stupid dealership commercials again.

 

My bad I meant to put Merle and was thinking Hank. Skynyrd has a song that includes the words Momma Tried. Not sure of the actual song title off hand but I could refer to my Ipod if need be.

Have fun at the concert

 

Well first off Lynyrd Skynyrd and Zztop was amazing to say the least. I can now say I heard freebird live in concert. My dad and his freinds used my truck for the before party in the parking area and I had some people come up and compliment my truck with made me pretty happy.

Time for a small update. I got my Stinger SVMR in today and installed it with the help of my girlfreind who handed me crimpers and zip-ties all night and was very patient with me.

I orginally wanted to put it under the cup holder in the ash tray (pictured) but I couldnt get it to fit so I could see the whole display.



For lack of a better place to put it, I ended up putting it here. If anyone has ANY of suggestions on where to put it, I would greatly appreciate it.





Here is a little teaser of whats to come.

Kicker ZX1000.1-1000watt RMS at 2ohms and it will be replacing the two Kenwood KAC-7204s that I am using right now. I also got the end caps that go on it so it'll look a little cleaner. I also heard that kicker underates all of their amps so I'm hoping that my amp will be about 1200watt RMS.



Kicker 09PKD1- 1/0 guage dual amp kit




Also I'm wanting to redo my amp rack so if anyone has better ideas than mine please say!

Have a great memorial day everyone!

 

Ahh. No love for the voltage meter? lol

Well sorry I have been gone everyone. Summer is a busy time when you live on a large farm. I did get my wiring kit and ZX1000.1 in. My birthsheet was 1164 RMS. I had it for a total of three days and then it started messing up. Everytime my volume would be over half way it would shut off. I called VMinovations while at work and they said they would send a return address to my moms email so she sent it for me the next day. I called them back later and asked them if I could just go ahead and get a ZX1500.1 instead of the 1000.1 so I paid the 120 dollars and its on its way :P

I also got a new amp for my door speakers. A Kicker ZX350.4 ..460 some RMS. Anyway. I redid the amp rack and did a few things. Will post some pictures when I get the 1500.1.

 

Wellll.. Even though no one cares here is some pictures of the take out of the old amp rack and whats happenin with the new one.

Back in the shop:




Woopss. Stash. lol









Hooked this amp up so I would still have some speakers.





Really weird seeing this empty..


What I took out:


How big this box really is.


Lets start with the new amp:

Side of the amp. I tried to make the wiring look clean.

Distrubition block. Whats that red thing in the corner of th picture you ask?


The kicker sign my girl made me and Layla that I made. Its made out of 1/4 plywood wrapped in red felt and black carpet cut and glue on top.



Here is the full view. Bear in mind the ZX1500.1 isnt here but according to fed-ex it may be here tomorrow.



As always, Comments and critism is welcome.

 

So, basically you have rear seats, and put this huge sub box on them?

 

Yes sir. lol. Being 18 all my freinds where always like "Lets take your truck, It has a backseat so we can all fit in there." With all my freinds being over 6' I would have to have my seats moved forward all the time and I used alot of gas so I figured why not just take up the backseat?

 

Well figured I'd update.

Heres what it looks like as of now. Soon to take out the backseat and put in a single SoloX18.


Heres the box thats going in. Will have a amp rack on each side.
