Re: almost there for now -- update *adding Pictures* busy day 4/5
well it's been a busy few days. i've decided to put a dvd system in the truck and a moderate stereo system to go with it. i spend so much time in the truck it makes sense to me. i am also remote mounting twin optimas to power it and the truck. i got a sweet optima battery mount and need to get a second. i gutted the entire inside of the tuck to sound mat it and run wire. if you've never done this before you wouldn't believe the pile of pieces it makes. i ran 3 20ft rca, 100 foot of speaker and a 100 ft or so of speaker wire. all this is to support a soundstream 8004 dvd HU, mtx 1501d, mtx 404, a lanzar signal processor, a kicker 15 L7, and for the moment audiobaghn 6.5 components and fosgate 6x9s. i got plans to build a removable fiberglass box on the passanger side of the truck and a removable amp rack on the passanger side. also in the plans is a custom hu mount, i'm gonna ditch the center vents to make gauge mounts and glass the single din headunit in the 1 1/2 din hole. the ash tray is leaving so i can extend the radio mount down for a switch panel for a fan over ride, neon highlights, a fuel pump switch, and maybe a spray switch. yes i know this all adds wieght, but i tried to cut the weight in everything i used. i went from two audiobaghn 12" high excursions to the single 15, the sound mat i bought weights 23lbs for 100^2 feet. i'm also trying to pull weight from other areas to make up for it. full a/c delete, stock fan is gone, abs delete and eventually the seats are going to be switched to lighter ones. i've got to say the back seat is lighter than i thought. next week i'm hoping to get the 17" wheels i bought from MRKING, a big thanks to him for that deal. i'm also tryin to save up for one of erue's bs roller cams. all said and done i think this will make the truck more enjoyable to drive since it's my dd. i also got a killer deal on some new 3/4 heater hose buying it in a 50ft roll. i'll share what's left over for 50 cents a foot for anyone that needs any, since the parts store told me 1.10 a ft. unfortunatly i have to go back to work in the morning so that's gonna put a real crimp in my plans. i have to see my surgeon again and am going to request a radial reduction to remove the stump of my middle finger from my left hand. so i'll be laid up again for another month or so. but i won't be working and it should help get rid of a lot of the pain in my hand.
