  3. Installing Audio

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    I'm trying to earn some extra money so I posted a service ad to install audio equipment. I've been installing shit since I was 13 but I have a quick question.

    If I install their stuff, is there any kind of liability issues I could be facing for anything? For instance, some guy wants me to install some front speakers in his Wrangler to his factory headunit. That's an easy $25 but I just want to make sure I'm safe to be doing this stuff as a freelance.

    Thanks Ray. I plan on wiring it into my alarm and using it as my trunk pop button as you stated. I also think I'm going with a 60 lb. solenoid because it's an older truck. I'd rather have to much than not enough. :D Thanks for the input

    -Twiztid, It would do me no good to put the latch on the other side. I wouldn't be able to open the gate with the tonneau cover on it. Thanks for the reply though.

    why not reverse the handle if your not going to have a shell or a bed cover? that way you reach in there and pull the lever/handle

    other then that im sure it works just like a regular door popper!?

    Reading>me

    scratch the reverse handle lol

    Haha. I started reading and was like, :clapping: After multiple google searches and reading through 10 pages on each search I finally found it. Thanks for the input though. ;)

    I've been researching this for a little while but can't find a whole lot of info. I'm going to shave my tailgate handle when I do some bodywork and new paint. I found a couple kits for a tailgate popper but can't find exactly how they work. For those that don't get what I'm saying, it's like the door popper kits for people who shave their door handles. The majority of people put the handle on the inside of the bed, but I plan on getting a tonneau cover that can only be opened from the under side if the tailgate is open. Has anyone seen one personally or know exactly how they work?

    Here's the kit- http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.aspx?partfamilyid=2251

    I will be using some gas tailgate struts as well to keep it from just slamming open, will be a smooth drop.

  18. Single Cab--- How much have you guys used?

    I've got a little over 3 bulk packs in my regular cab but I did pretty much everything in at least 2 layers. 1 layer doesn't always work, the idea is to put enough on to deaden it which can take 2+ layers sometimes.

    My headliner area is very small so I wont need a lot there to double layer. The rear of the cab from the window up isn't getting anything either as it's painted so nothing would be covering it. So did you cover your entire cab basically? If you've seen the roof of the '67-'72 chevy pickups you'll know the headliner is pretty small. Doesn't go from window to window like newer vehicles. With out covering from the bottom of the rear window to the headliner will cut back a lot. As much as I would want to, it would look funky. I plan on doing the doors inside and out as well.

    So you're running about 110 sq. ft. or so... If you covered the entire cab I should probably be good with 80 sq. ft. and be able to double layer everything.

    I measured my cab and it came out to about 30 sq. feet give or take a few. I'm going to get 80 sq. ft. but was just wondering how much have you guys used on a single cab, or even ext. cab truck? I'm going with 80 sq. ft. that way I know I have plenty to cover everything, what I have left I will double layer. I'm doing the firewall, floor, rear of cab up to 1" below the window, doors, and headliner.

    --- So how much have you guys used on a single cab? I'm using the Damp Pro along with Luxury liner pro on the floor and rear of cab.

    Edit- Have one more question, should I go with the 80 sq. ft. of Pro or get 160 sq. ft. of regular and triple/quad layer?
