SS/T Audio Build Log

Nine8SST · Jun 21, 2011

Decided to start my build log even though I'm not really that far along. Obviously my system isn't the caliber of a lot of the builds here, but its mine and I worked hard for it.

This is my truck:

I have pretty much everything I need for the install, although the subs were not my first choice. I originally had 2 RF Punch P3SD410's and a T600-4, but I had to return them so I could deal with some medical stuff for my daughter. Eventually I will have what I really want, but this is a good start I think.....

Here is my rear stage:

Front stage:

Other stuff:

Here is my HU:

Alarm is completely installed, i just need to stuff it up behind the airbag and get the dash all buttoned up after I run my signal cables:

I got a pretty good deal on some older SS Damplifier on CACO, the stuff with the silver foil.

I had an abundance of foil tape here at the house, so I went over the top of everything to make it look clean, I suck at laying deadener so it looked kinda like a jigsaw puzzle. Anyway, I got the doors done so far, I still need to do the back of the cab, the B pillars and the roof. I think I'm about 15 sq.ft. short and I haven't decided yet where I'm gonna skimp for now, but probably the roof.

Thanks for checking out my build, I'll have more up tomorrow or Wednesday!

Deadener overkill it is, but I'm pretty damn happy with it. In all I used the following:

37sq.ft. Second Skin Damplifier
12sq.ft. Dynamat
20sq.ft Gorilla Tape
80sq.ft. Foil Tape

Now that the tedious work is done, next on my agenda I need to go through the cab and cut out all the interior trim tab holes. Then I'll do my Big 3 in 1/0 gauge.

More pics in the next day or so....Thanks for looking!

Made up some cables today for my "Big 3", though it's actually 5 in my truck. Made an additional 2 while I was at it so I can upgrade all the factory grounds. The wire is 1/0 Monster and I wrapped it in TechFlex, and the ring terminals are all soldered. Will install them tonight after my daughter hits the bed, and get another update in the next day or so.

Nine8SST · Jun 21, 2011

Finished all the power and ground cables, and have power run to the back of the cab. Next up I'll run speaker and signal wires.

Nine8SST · Jun 21, 2011

Keeping it all tidy under the dash:

Driver side has 2 runs of Kicker XW1220, Amp Power and remote wire.

Passenger side also has 2 runs of Kicker XW1220, and 2 sets of signal cables.

Thanks for looking, more to come soon.

Very nice job man! Top notch!

Nine8SST · Jun 27, 2011

Here are a couple update pictures, things are pretty slow going. All the wiring is ran and tucked away, and all the interior trim is back in with exception to the doors.
