Nice, I guess these are more of a tune up speaker of sorts. I'll post a pic later of them mounted.

if you really wanna do it right pull out the stock speaker wire. i pulled mine out and found out that the wire was melted in many places. i took a lighter to it just to see how easy it was too melt and it melted at a really really low temperature. i then replaced all the speaker wire with co-axle cables. it makes a huge difference in sound because it helps to cut out distortion expecially if you buy a decent pair of speakers. my sig is no longer correct on mine i need to update it but i have about $3500 into mine now and it sounds better then anybody elses i have heard. only problem is now at bonfires and out riding everybody uses my truck to play music i dont like people in my truck cus they just dont give a **** because its not thiers and thats how stuff seems to keep breaking. i cant remember breaking anything on my truck myself

I replaced the speaker wire and got a good power wire thanks for the tip ! , i have it all hooked up and it sounds great ! ... And I know what you mean I hate when people treat my truck like crap just because it is old and they think it is a piece of junk and it is to tank to hurt but my buddies have screwed up quite a few things now

A good system is the onlyway to go . I personally. Favor kicker comp speakers. Just cause they are lifetime. Warranty. If they go out or u blow them for whatever reason there replaced no ? Asked. .I have been using kicker systems for quite a few years . But on the other hand start out with what u can afford then as I have always done ( buy another system enjoy.it for a little.while then sell it to a friend or sell it to a high school kid) lmao cause back in the day we all wanted to have the loudest stereo and pipes

Installed some stuff last night till 4 AM, got to finish today, found some weird stuff going on with my stock sound system.

Door cutouts don't seem to match. Like some one screwed up at the factory installing the custom order on this truck. Wire colors didn't match up properly either. Had to heat some up and put a test light on them to figure some out.

Got my Alpine speakers installed all the way, except the subwoofer and sub amp. Now, got to put the door panels back on.

Put blue LEDs in the gauges and A/C controls. I'll post pics of the blur LEDs lit up tonight when its dark.
