Tahoe 2013/2014/2015 RF, FI, XS, SQ, TM, etc...


Recommended Posts

this took mad cash to start up. Mad respek. all that wire..and RF accessories..pfff

It's not as expensive as you think if you look in the right places. I know I didn't pay retail for any of my RF equipment but they weren't authorized RF dealers. Ask me if I care though,I bought 3 year square trade warranties with all of my stuff. I like some RF equipment but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay their recommended retail price for it.

Yeah, I paid about 35% of retail for all of my RF gear. Mostly new other on ebay. Including the Kicker wiring and everything, I paid about 36.4% of retail on all of my audio equipment. Not quite as expensive as retail but maybe a little higher than the majority of nice car audio prices.

Only downfall is I do not have any warranties on anything...however everything I have purchased is still working today :rockwoot:


Edit: Very nice job on that box! I kind of wish you used that resin after you had already tried the box out...but that's only because I want to know if it makes a difference. Looked pretty easy though, maybe I'll do that with my box! Or future box anyway.

Keep up the good work Karkov!!

All factory interior panels FINALLY back in. Only place I had to put rear battery, not exactly ideal but it will work for now....and I might as well buy up another to add to other side now too.....

SAM_0362_zpsc28b5c57.jpg

grounds made up, ring terminals from same place Steve gets his, soldered up, I just use those colored pieces that come with them (in picture) and then electrical tape over that

SAM_0355_zps688a47f0.jpg

Four of the grounds done, double nutted, shouldn't come lose.....hopefully

Mids/highs amp installed, got it playing on Sunday!

SAM_0366_zps96076642.jpg

Starting in hook up sub amps and doing a little DD-1 action! Yes, yes i know the wires are a mess, after i DD-1 and CC-1 the equipment i started cutting wires to length and fastening them and making them look nice and neat but for the time being I wanted to get everything set up while I had the time. Will post final pictures at a later date, along with some videos
