z71kris Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 if you know how to tear it apart with ruining it, and can fab the new parts, I dont see why not, I have a buddy who just built a mounting plate and ran his system from there thru his kenwood HU, gave him lots of adjustments, and could tons of storage for songs and vids Quote 03 GMC Sierra Z71 Ext Cab l 2 15" American Bass XO's l 1 Lanzar HTG2600 l AudioVox 1510D In dash DVD l KnuKonceptz Wiring l Big Three Done with KnuKonceptz KLMX 1/0 l Infinity Reference 6022si 6-1/2" Front Door Speakers l Upgraded to 145A Alt from 105A Alt l Custom Box 2^3 under the rear bench with resined bottom, and about 4 lbs of polyfill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyDog Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 for the day i got the computer and all wires ran to hu. got new power inverter. (no more nocie comming though the speackers well un noticable to the naked eye) still working on something to stableize the hard drive i thinking two peaces of mdf with springs in the middle to damping the bass. (make like a box with in a box with springs all around) something like that. went to home depot they had nothing. everything is working. theres alil bit of static on the screen (hu)but other then that. i just need a way to shut the computer down fast so i donnt have to wait. sounds not bad. heres some pics Quote ~2006 chrysler Sebring~ ~2 runs of 1/0 front to back~ ~1/0 wire for "big 3"~ ------------------------------------------------------- 4 spl-hx 12'' dual 2 2 dtr 1.3400 3 c&d terminologies 1000s 100 aH Each piccso 6.5 comps pinoeer avh 4900dvd pioneer xm box blue gauges custom dave the box guys box ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ new stuff on the way Team Soundstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
