Update: Spend the morning running speaker wire to the dash and 4 doors. Got the tweeters finally hooked up. Wow, what a difference they made in filling the cab with sound. Fine tuned the P200-2 (tweets) and P400-2 (subs) amps this morning with the DMM. Got the 400 set at 480 watts RMS and the 200 set at 60W/channel RMS.

Now with all that out of the way, all I have left to do is get the door speakers mounted. I have a feeling that is going to involve some one-off pods. We'll see how it goes when I get the doors tore apart.

I also confirmed my suspicions that the previous owner had some subs installed. I found some ground wire bolted to the bottom of one of the rear seats. The other indicators where holes cut in the carpet behind the sets and in the storage compartment.

Got some pics uploaded for you pic whores out there.

Preview of tomorrow's (maybe) project...

Rear Door Speaker location. The factory speaker mount is not big enough to fit the new speaker. I guess I'll just have to fab up my own. Kind of was expecting I'd have to, so no biggie.

The speaker I want to put there (P1675)

Comparison of the pioneer's (rated at 40RMS) I have/had there and the new fosgate speaker. (60RMS)

The pioneer looks so cute next to the fosgate. ;)

Random birth sheet pic: tweeter amp, I set the gains to put out 60rms @ 4 ohms (3.4 actually) since that is what the tweets are rated for.

Random factoid. The pioneer head unit I am using is rated at 14W x 4. So I currently have more power going to one tweeter in the dash, than all the door speakers combined. This little problem will be solved before two long though.

What tweeters you end up with on the dash?

My cousin has a 2002 trailblazer not ss and i did her setup but never thought to check that dash thinking it was maybe an ac duct.

Also on the big 3 where is the chassis to engine stock ground at? Can you post up pics of your big 3 like one pic per big 1 big 2 big 3?

She dims a little on 1000rms and regular duralast battery.

P1T-S, see first page.

You can look through the windshield and see what's there, if anything. If it didn't come with Bose from the factory, then there is nothing there.

Also on the big 3 where is the chassis to engine stock ground at? Can you post up pics of your big 3 like one pic per big 1 big 2 big 3?

Pics won't do any good, because I have everything hidden/wrapped in wireloom. You have 3 wires that are ran as follows:

Alternator to positive battery

Engine (I used the bolt on the accessory drive) to negative battery

Engine to chassis, mine is ran on the bottom of the motor. There is skid plate that needs removed and the factory ground is then visible. I ran it from the engine block to the sway bar bushing mounting bolt.

Look at what I got done this morning...

I'm currently taking a break while the paint drys. Flat black, nothing special. They will behind the door panel after all. The 3/4" MDF ring has been sanded so that the speaker fires upward, so the top is thinner than the bottom. I also have some high density weather stripping that is going to go around the parameter to isolate the vibrations from the door.
