89 C1500 Build log. 144 @ 28hz, loudest single cab w/o blowthru?


Recommended Posts

I originally had set of that style seat and never installed them so I don't know if any mods the the stock brackets are needed. With the corbeaus you can get them in many colors.

WHO'S JEALOUS!!!

IMG_0060_zps827cd110.jpg

What's the best way to use this amp? And what am I really looking at here, I know it's old-school, but how good?

I had it tested before I bought it, both channels work, but the gain knobs look really abused, and an RCA barrel is loose, but otherwise I think it's a keeper.

Who thinks I should run a 15 off this?

Door amp. 25x2. So that means something more in the lines of 50@4 ohms x2 and 75@2 ohms x 2 :) Or use it for tweets!

I ran a Punch 40x2 trans-ana in my truck to some cheap kicker co'ax's...they SCREAMED!

What about a Hybrid Audio Mirus or Imagine series? run the tweets off the 100z2, and the rest on the G4500?

Ha! I have the 600a version of that amp!

Dont skimp out on those cheap ebay seats, they are cheap for a reason. I have one in my mustang and the reclining part broke so it lays all the way back no matter what.

Just keep looking for good stuff, I bought a ser of legit recaro's off a guy on craigslist for $200, the deals are out there.

If I don't destroy these subs before my friend buys them, he'll have some badass bang in his truck, and his is an '04, so he will sound different-ish.

For me, I want even bigger, and louder!

Yeah but how do you attach the inside brackets on the bottom? the bench has mounting bolts at it's far sides, do you drill and bolt some new holes?

I'm sure some of you have done this before, so if you could link me to a build log or something that has a picture or video, that'd be great! I already have some seats in mind, some universal ones off Ebay, black and grey, anyone used these before? I like them, black is good when you plan on changing all the colors soon (Plasti-dip!)

Dang! That 600 must pound!

Well, I'll have a box behind me, but I still don't want a floppy seat. You think the ones I just posted are good, or skip Ebay altogether?

I want a set of two matching seats, and I'd prefer to have the racing bucket style that hugs you in the turns. I mostly want some room for a center console, and a decent cup-holder!

I want to say I won't spend more than 300 on seats, so just browse craigslist, right?

Cavalier seats may bolt right in. Volvo seats out of an S40(like mine, woo!) fit your description well. Generally, the Volvo seats that are like that are from the "R" models. Here are some seats similar to mine, but from a 95 850 T5-R

Should be fairly easy to find a set of these on CL from a totalled Volvo.
