New Sound System

[npiper]

Finally my sound system is done getting installed. I didn't do it myself, I chickened out and just decided to have Car Stereo One in Latrobe, PA do it. Great place. I highly recommend them. Took them 4 days for me to finally get it back but it was worth it.

Head Unit: Alpine CDA-9886
Was installed previously, but here's a picture anyways


Dash Speakers: Alpine SPS-406

Front Speakers: Alpine SPS-600

Rear Speakers: Alpine SPS-600

Amplifier: Alpine PDX-5
Installed on a custom amp rack they built over the jack mount. Also has a piece of the rear trim panel cut out that was heat molded and riveted to the side panel for a cleaner appearance at my request.


Subwoofer: Rockford Fosgate P3L-S12
Mounted against the back of the cab, has rear trim piece from a regular cab S10 (same as ours) cut out so that the sub fits flush against the back.


Overall

It sounds as good as it looks too.
As of now, the rear seat will not lock but I'm going to shim the seat up with a few washers sometime in the next couple of days. Overall I'm very satisfied.

very cool what wattage is the sub and amp

[npiper]

Alpine PDX-5 has 75 watts RMS x 4 and 300 watts RMS x 1.
RF P3L-S12 is rated 100-400 watts RMS.

very cool just right for that truck

[npiper]

I agree. I only have the subwoofer level on 7 out of 15 and the bass on 0 and I'm still afraid to turn it up all the way

[dozer1530]

lol i was the same with my last truck i had the stock radio with a sony explode amp 500 watt and i allways kep the bas and -3 and it was still boomin hard lol

[npiper]

Yes it's a very big improvement.

Anyways, I finally got my rear seat to lock. I had to put 5 washers on each side of the seat and use a dremel to grind out the front two holes and make them oblong as well as remove the plastic bushings on the latch. I also have to shut it kind of hard but well that's what the grille is for and at least it latches now.

how does it sound? i have my kenwood KAC-7204 that is 500wt RMS bridge, 1000wt max. and it THUMPS my RF P3. im glad you went with the set up i have. i know youll like it and it sounds good.

[npiper]

I'm glad too. My amp is only rated 300 RMS so the sub is actually underpowered but it's still ridiculous.
