Amber gets tunes.
So the insurance cut me a check for my car finally and I went shopping. I picked up a very nice '92 Silverado 2500 with low miles and had not been abused or cut up (that's my job).
My daughter calls her Amber because of the red stripe. I like it. ![]() The dealer I got the truck from had just replaced the heater core, so that was a bonus. The interior is crazy clean, but I noticed a lot of rust on the base of the seat and the bolts on the drivers side were rusted. After a lot of PB blaster, I got the seat out. ![]() Tore the interior out ![]() When I pulled the carpet up, the drivers side was soaked. The pad was dripping and the floor looked awful. So out goes the carpet and pad. ![]() Wire wheel ![]() Rust encapsulator and top coat ![]() Back to the stereo. The stock '92 has 4x6 in the dash and 4x6 in the rear pilar. I didn't want to do a bunch of work, so I decided to replace the dash with 4" round 2 ways and the rear with 4x6 2 ways. Here's what I got all together: Pair of 4" round (dash) Pair of 4x6 (rear) Pair of 6.5" separatres (door) 10" shallow sub (rear) MTX TN400/4 400 watt 4 channel. Out with the old, in with the new ![]() Sub box (.75 cubic ft sealed) and amp rack. Sub isn't centered because I wanted to fit the tool box back in on the passenger side. ![]() Doors before: ![]() Doors now (tape was holding speaker for mock up ![]() ![]() Got a little dark (it was very late ![]() ![]() Sounds pretty damn good. Total cost was just under $300 total (deck was in the truck). Amp: $60 pawn shop Mid/High Speakers: $100 Frys Electronics Sub: $80 Car stereo store Speaker Wire: $25 50ft at Radio Shack Wood, misc crap: $35 Home Depot I have some intermiten motor noise, so I went to Car Toys to see if they had any ideas. I thought it might be my ground. The shop manager took a look at it and said "This looks better than half the guys in here" ![]() I think it's in the deck. But it works for now. Enjoy.
