goodvibez Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) If you want to see the rest of my truck build you can finid it HERE http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169404-goodvibez-03-sierra-video-pg11-custom-dash-finished-and-subs-playin/page-1Got these bad boys in last tuesday and finially got around to getting them in First took a piece of alluminium and cut to fit in the original spot for my a/c controls, I'm moving those down to the center console(still not finished) Then screwed a piece of 1/2" mdf made a riser for them, Later decided to add another 1/4" pice on the back to raise it up even more and wrapped that in secondskin sound dampner becuase it's black and had a smooth texture Test fiting, thats as center as I could get them. slightly off but I couldn't move any further to the right so this will have to do for now. Quick disconnects....well with that many it's not reeally quick so...here's my disconnects lol! Wiring for the temp probe, fan power, all the power for the guages and one wire to the sub output. Added a fuse block to the rear and this will power the guages and my rear seats when I install them, those things are so handy! Before I had the battery guage powered off the front main batt and I didn't feel like I was getting accurate readings so I changed it to this set up so I can actually tell how the bass drops effect my voltage. Definatly a difference going right to the source. Was so happy to see these all light up for the first time, they look friggin awesome! used my dd-1 and calibrated the OM-1 then threw um' in! Well there ya have it! Can't wait to get my fans and wire them up too!

goodvibez Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) /\ /\ /\ /\ Thanks guys! I do take pride in my work, as for the wiring hehe...don't look into my center console too much. Although it's somewhat messy it was really hard for it not to be. Works for me though, I knowexactly what all those little wires do and where they go. This was a fairly simple way to install these gauges, I just wish GM had made the opening a little wider but oh well, I don't want to cut it because I think with the way the opening has a roundover around it, it would look tacky to just take a dremel and cutoff wheel and openen it up a little more. I was thinking about doing some bodywork and gluing them to the faceplate like steve did on his car and kevosinn's van. For now they are good, I may put in a piece of plexi and smoke it because these things are bright! They look sweet at night, but I catch myself watching thd dancing lights a little more than I should lol!

meade916 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 i think it looks cool like that! You are right, a piece of smoked plexi would look good over that hole. How's the 3 speed fan output working for you? I got mine in the Lex working great and i am so glad it's in there. I just let it do its thing and forget about it. 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

I really like the way the lexus came out! I haven't got any fans in yet, but I did run the wiring for them. Can't decide if I want to go with some lighted red ones or non lighted? Red would look cool and I was wanting to do lights back there anyway so that would be a 2 birds kinda thing for me! Btw I freaked when I saw you posted this on fb! Thanks bro!

goodvibez Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Heres my amp rack, the temp prob is mounted to the RF 2500.1bdcp and I ran wires for the fans back there. What do you think? red lighted fans, or no?

meade916 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 don't do lighted fans bro. They will just blink until the fans are @ full power. Unless you can power the LED's from their own source that is. When the fan is @ 30 and 60%, the negative wire has a pulse to it....that is how it works. but ya, power them up from a separate source and i say use some red ones!
