Alright, so I was driving my mom's Suburban today, and had to bass up and noticed its nothing. I mean, for stock, its decent, but not good enough. So I asked her, and she said as long as its ok with dad, I can put in a sub, but not a big system. First, I have a question. Would I need a new headunit? I realize it would perform better with a new HU and everything, but is it absolutely necessary? Now, can you guys give me suggestions? All I want is something to give it tiny bit of kick, but I want it to be loud enough to when I'm driving it alone, I can have some fun with it. I also need suggestions for an amp to go with it. If I need a new HU, could you also suggest a nice, cheap one with the basics? (AM/FM and cd) If it doesn't bump the price up too much, I would also like an iPod ready one, but its not necessary. So then, thanks for the help, and if you need anymore information, I'd be glad to tell you what you need to know.

I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks now and I love it! I've dropped mine from about 5 feet and it didn't take any damage, internal nor cosmetic... Must have just been your phone.

This isn't really a build, but I didn't know where to put it. Anyway, I'll be driving soon (I have my learner's, get my license soon), and dad is letting me drive the '89. It's the same truck my bro drove when he first started, and he's the one that got me into systems. He had 3 Kicker 12" in there, not sure on the amp and stuff, but it was loud as hell. Anyway, I plan on doing something close to that. It has this crappy Sony xplod something-or-other. The HU is where the tape deck used to be, because the radio was a square, and not dig enough for a screen. So, now there's big ugly empty space. The Capacitor my bro used is still in there because he has a different one for his Envoy. I don't plan on during any "look goods" on it. It has a dent that I don't feel like messing with, since it's dad's truck and I'll be getting my own car at some point. It's mostly pre-wired because of my bro's old set up, so there won't be much work when I get started. Various other pictures I found that I posted online. http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff88/im..._1649resize.jpg http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff88/im...al/100_1333.jpg http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff88/im...al/100_1221.jpg Anyway! On to what I want to do! I plan on getting at least 2 12"s back in it, possibly 3 like my bro had. Not really sure on the amp or anything of that yet. First step for me will be replacing that p.o.s. head unit. It eats my cds. Literally, the last cd I took back out of it bad a burn mark on it... The remote picks its days to work, and the screen just flashes. All the time. You have to guess what you're doing. You have to press a button like 3 times for it to anything... Anyway, I would like to get this HU, and was just wondering if you guys had any good (or bad) things to say about it. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDAVX77/JV...7.html?tp=20217 And other information if you would like to know: I'm not a "one-genre" type of guy. The system will be switching from rap to metal to country to r&b/soul on a daily basis. I don't usually mess with cds, and stick to the iPod/USB scene, but if I get a new cd, I will use it in the car, so I don't want one of those iPod optimized HU's with no cd player...

What's up, my names Michael. I'm 15 (I know... young...) I turn 16 in a few months. I'm in Virginia, near Richmond. I plan on building up a "system" in my '89 Silverado at some point, but it won't be anything too great because it's technically Dad's, but when I get my own car, then I'll build something sweet up. I searched "Top Rap Songs" or something in YouTube and EXO's 100 Best Bass Songs vid came up, and that was sick. Through him, I found Steve's vids, and found this place. Good to be here. P.S.- I first found my love for loud ass sound systems from my brother when I was 12. He was just starting driving at the time and was driving the Silverado I'll be driving. He had 3 12" Kickers behind the seat in the single cab truck, and that small space with those subs made for some LOUD DEEP bass. Anyway, long story short, I plan on doing what he did to the truck. If it's ok with him, I'll post up some pics of his current ride. '04 (I think... Maybe '05) GMC Envoy with the same 12"s that were in the Silverado. Not sure of the amp or anything... I'll find that out later.
