2009 Silverado build?!?! Ideas/Help


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't trust my truck to Best buy, you "should" get better quality labor from an independent shop. But if you can follow you tube, there are plenty of videos out there on removing parts from your truck the headliner was the only one I had to follow basic text instructions on but there are a couple sites I use for info that are great resources.

http://www.silveradosierra.com

and

http://www.gmfullsize.com

The first is the more active of the two sites.

Thanks, I shopped for 3-4 months online before finding these headlights, the tails are just basic smoke LEDs because most of the "custom" led ones looked tacky. My blacked out third brake light arrives tomorrow to complete the exterior mods, and saturday I am putting in my shackle kit to lower the rear 2-3".

No shops really in my area (harrisburg pa) I guess I will see what I can do. Just don't want to break any plastic pieces and have rattle or anything. Any parts/steps I need to watch out for??

The doors will be your hardest part, but again if you can follow youtube videos you should be fine that is where I got my info. Also check those sites I listed as they have tons of information. I don't think you are removing anything that is in danger of breaking, just if you don't have more than basic tools I would either order a set of these or something similar or you can sometimes find these in auto parts stores. http://www.amazon.com/Panel-Window-Molding-Upholstery-Removal/dp/B009QLBDSW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1452869114&sr=8-5&keywords=trim+panel+removal+tool

I am not sure if best buy would even take on doing your headliner, you truck being a crew might be slightly different than mine, but I needed a couple sockets (seatbelt upper bolt and rear oh shit handles) Phillips head screw driver, my panel pullers, a pick tool and patience. Remember head liners are NOT the sturdiest or strongest material so be firm but gentle when pulling/pushing on them.

Keep your 4 ch amp and bridge it to your front component set. I always do it like that, and I never loose any stereo ! You will have more power, and more headroom (amp won't play full power). You need to find the right way to plugg the rca's in the amp !

Good luck, and take some pics for us, please. :D:):monalisa:

Ok and when I hook up the crossover for the tweeters. Can I have my crossover in the back with my amp or is that going to be too long of a run of wire?? I don't really want it in the door because again... I don't know how to set it.. or how would one recommend installing the soaker and tweeter in there? I'm guna use the same spots just how should I wire it. What should I do with factory wiring? I may have to talk to creative car tunes I forgot about them... but the other one not so much. Guess I'm guna get to ordering my second skin and touch screen n such. Thanks again for the help and I'll post pics. Shouldn't be all that much long before I start!
