SMD '01 Chevy Tahoe HVAC Relocate / Dash Update (SMD VM-1, OM-1 (2), TM-1)

Another great idea from the mind of Mr. Meade.

The man that got me into car audio continues to raise the bar on the level of system I'd like to one day have. It's looking great, and when you gloss it to match the dash it should come together really nice. What kind of finish is the beauty panel in the console going to have?

SO SICK!!!

Geeez man you make it look so easy! I like how you trimmed the edges on the SMD gauges to butt them all together clean.

Oh and congrats on the mag feature too!!

Thats pretty cool, I can see it now *opens center console* "excuse me while I turn on my ac"

[cgrez33]

Can't wait to see how it turns out

Nice man! I had the same idea about cutting the faceplates down like that and making one solid bezel with those gauges but went a different rout. But the way you did it came out better than I imagined, now you got me thinking about trying that again! Super clean! Yeah just did a mock up for my fan setup and wired up my TM-1.....it's seriously sooo nice not having to even worry about fans now! That TM-1 works really really nice! Works beautifully!

Guages came out amazing....but let's not forget the hvac and other controls relocation.....that was some nice clean work in there! Have fun extending all those wires lol!

Looks tits, man. You do make it look easy, dem skillz

[rockFord_Expedition]

Looks really, really good man. Great work as usual.

I have 2 questions.

Did you have to extend vacuum lines for the hvac, and what was the hardest part of relocating the controls?

For your TM-1(f) did you have to do a lot of work to get the probe that reads temperature into your amp rack, or do you have it triggered off of something else easier to get to?

[Tarball]

In for knowledge on the vacuum lines. what type of tubing do you use?
