03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I had ordered some RF T1462's while I was working on this even though I saw reviews stating they won't fit in the dash of S10's. I proved them wrong with very little modifications.. They weren't fastened down yet is why the screws are sticking up. This was a shot through the front windshield The grills were already cracked between age,sun,rattling so they were dried out and all cracked up. The cracks just show more once the speakers were installed. I shaved down a little bit of the bottom of the grills to help with the tweeter that sticks up.

I now have new grills in it but holesawed holes for the tweeters to stick up. I have to do some more mods once I get back on the 2nd half of this build BUILD LOG-http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179004-03-s10-xtreme-ext-cab-rf-build/ PHOTOBUCKET- http://s1354.beta.photobucket.com/user/03XtremeFosgate/library/truck%20audio%20rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your GF can't be too mad after seeing how those sexy kicks came out. Besides like I told you she'll get over it once you start on hers and get hers done and she hears that first bass drop.. lol BUILD LOG-http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179004-03-s10-xtreme-ext-cab-rf-build/ PHOTOBUCKET- http://s1354.beta.photobucket.com/user/03XtremeFosgate/library/truck%20audio%20rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Any pics of the new grills in? Here you go. Not sure if I like them like this,I'll know for sure once I get started on this again and try to get the tweeters flush with the top..If I don't then I hope I can find more on eBay like I did this time. This is the passenger side.. This is driver side..

goodvibez Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Nice man! That looks really clean! I actualy just swapped out the 4x6's and put in some 5.25's by making a faceplate using the grill as a template then surface mounted them to that but I think you did looks awesome! This is the reason I cutomized my dash in my sierra to fit some 5.25's in it because of how much better it sounds with speakers up high using the windshield to reflect the sound. If I remember correctly there was enough room I could have made some 6.5's work in there, Kinda tight with how close it is with the windshield but anyhow great work! Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are! I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

I would like to put some 5.25's in but the 4x6's sound great IMO and the ac ducts run right under them especially on the driver side. Your build is sexy for sure,I'm very impressed. You're right the windshield is great for sound reflection BUILD LOG-http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179004-03-s10-xtreme-ext-cab-rf-build/ PHOTOBUCKET- http://s1354.beta.photobucket.com/user/03XtremeFosgate/library/truck%20audio%20rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
