audio/video install

[ghostface]

hoping that my amps would come in this weekend me and my buddy decided to pull out the factory system and install mine. everything is installed except for the amps and subs at the moment.


we ran the power wire down the drivers side and tried to run the rca's and speaker wire down the passenger side, but it was going to be to short. so we had to run it thru the center console and down the center of the truck. as you can tell it was all ripped apart.

running the wires thru the center console

power wire down the drivers side

sorry but these arent in order

more power wire routing

we mounted the crossovers inside the console( just sitting there for now)

crossovers finished

that center console had to be cleaned, looked liked someone spilled coffee or something in there

new tweeter vs old one

the new tweeters were so much larger than stock it was hard to mount them the way we wanted so this is what we came up with

i was hoping we could have flush mounted them but it wasnt possible

rear door speakers in

front door speaker

speaker wire and rca's routing thru the center console

same wires routed thru the back. had to avoid all the seat areas. the carpet and padding is thick enough you dont feel or see them.

headunit in and ipod. we took the ipod cable and hard mounted it in that pocket. all i have to do is slide the ipod in or out.

if anyone needs a tahoe bose system i still have mine. none of the speakers are blown.

Damn looks great so far Nice & Clean! It's alot of work but it pay out when done! Keep the pics coming!

yea it took us about 12hrs to do it. it would have been faster but i got kids i had to take care of and dinner. plus we tried to make it look clean and as stock as possible.

 

[DarkTahoe00]

Thats understandable i'm the same way try to make it is clean and stock looking as possible! I didn't rip up the seats like I should have it would been easier but i use a coat hanger to get around the stuff I needed to run around! Either way its done as long as done right and clean thats what matters!

Really clean install. Pulling the interior like that is worth it for the finished product turning out the way it will. Great job so far!!

 

[ghostface]

yea it made easier but man that 2nd row seat is a pita.

 

[TnTahoe]

wait til you have to run a bigger power wire thru that second row lol, but anyway what model is that head unit and how do you like it

 

[diffrnt]

Dude, that looks good and very clean. I like it clean looking also. I have started my av setup and use a fish tape to pull wires under the carpet ( it was a suggestion made by someone on this forum). Good job.
