Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

Just sourced a used second amp yesterday to run the fronts, its a mac attack 4075, a good quality german made amp quite popular at the lower end of the market here in the UK. Its a four channel amp but I'll probably run it bridged to give 2 x 230W. Just keeping an eye out for a decent used set of component speakers for the front now!

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

That is a awesome looking setup. Nice fab behind the seats also.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

Hey Tim,
Go with the boxes under the seat, Your truck is to nice to cut up the doors, The tweeters on the dash make it sound great because you get your high notes and they reflect off your windsheild,best of all you can get the little surface mount tweeters and place them just about anywhere. I woud also check out custom audio in lexington to see if they could come up with anything. What kind of head unit did you get. Call me, Troy.

Dennis,

Is that your truck?
Anyway, It looks awesome!!

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

no i wish it was. It's from another member from this forum called jerald jeffers. :ho:

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

how many tweeters should i run.......one above each side air vent and two at the rear view mirror (total-4)........and how about speakers......i have been looking at POLK MOMO 5x7 in boxes under seat for bass,,,, and 5.25" components at the kick panel with their tweeter at/above the side a/c vents then two additional tweeters at the rear view mirror????.........help

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

is your cab painted? i welded the rear cab corners shut with sheet metal and cut a hole for a 5"X7". i don't think a 6"X9" will fit. later i'll carpet them over.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

has anyone done a nice install (tweets, maybe) flush-mounted into that steel panel that runs across the back below the window? i could imagine that would be nice.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

Anyone have any idea how much depth there is behind the kick panels that the vendors sell(Max depth for speaker mounting?)

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

i got mine from kenny's trucks in oklahoma, had 2" top mount depth, i just put a set of polk db 6.5" speakers, they sound great.. i'll get a pic up here in the morning... the panels were 65 bux w/o speakers

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

can you still operate your high beams?

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

Does any one no where I can get a speaker to fit my cover it is a 4X10 for the original radio.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

yea, the panel's are about 1/2" thick black plastic, high beams can be reached just fine.. i'll get a pic in about 1 hour

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

try crutchfield.com, if not im sure you could use a 4x6 and fab up a plastic mounting plate

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

nothing fancy but these polks sound great, perfect depth

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

i think pioneer actually makes a pair that are made to fit our dash. several others are made as well. pretty much all of the suppliers who carry the custom autosound stuff have 'em. also, you can get a stock 4x10 from wal-mart for a few $

many manufacturers still make 4x10s. it'd prolly be better to get the pair designed for our bracketry, though. i haven't heard them, but it's the route i'll eventually go.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

The speaker has to be 10 OHM or it will burn up the original radio. I did a search with google and I found some one that would rebuild mine for $45.00.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

GM 10 ohm speaker here on Ebay. If you only need one I'll take the other one.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

I made a set of boxes with 8" subs and amp to put under my bench seat, which thumps your butt pretty good. And built a custom center console to mount the cd player and some 2 sets of 2 way mids and tweets. It sounds good, all for about $500. Click on the link in my sig and check out my 72 GMC truck pics.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

I still say, in an area as small as a truck cab you just need a sub, amp and decent set of components up front to get a fantastic sound. I'll let you know what mine sounds like when it goes in. I'd keep the tweeters and fronts as far up front as possible. The way someone explained it to me is you don't go and sit with your back to the band at a concert, so why do you need rear speakers? If the front soundstage is setup properly you'll not need them.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

I wish I could have seen those before I sent mine out to get rebuilt :(

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

It appears this person is in Oregon. I've got an email to him now and if he's somewhat close by to me, I'll pick up a few for board members.

EDIT: He's clear across the state from me so I can't do it.

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

Anyone know where Jerald Jeffers (the truck that Dennisthemenace posted) got those kick panels with the tweeters?

Re: stereo speakers...where to put them?
 

Go Team!! Just a recommendation... If you put sound deadening material, like Dynamat, on the back of those ABS plastic panels and the metal area that the panels mount to, you will get an ever better sound out of your speakers.
