Ok guys. I'm back at it again. But this time I truly hope this is the equipment I will keep for a long time. I know I've gone through tons of equipment without installing it. More than I care to admit. One of the main reasons being I'm anal about having everything "match."
I recently bought a 2001 F250 crew cab and hoping it will last a long time. I absolutely love this truck. It has the 7.3 and should be nearly bullet proof. The exterior has some wear to it, which is expect with 185,000 miles. But the interior is immaculately. It's near perfect. I bought the truck because my custom cabinet business has been really good. And I bought an enclosed trailer, so I needed a truck. And along with the cabinet business growing I decided to build a new workshop on my property. And I promised myself I would not start my install until the shop was done.
And as of this weekend the shop has power and the inside is done. The exterior still need paint but with the weather being what it is, it will have to wait a bit. The shop is 30x44 with 12' ceilings. And I feel very blessed that the business has allowed this. The tools will get moved in when I get back from visiting family for New Years. I'll post up some pics of the shop and the truck
So onto the audio. I'm a huge Pioneer fan for some reason. So I decided to go all Pioneer Stage 4. This would normally not be in my budget but I searched and found some great deals. The head u it will be a P01. I love the Japanese menus actually. To me it adds to the "rarity" of the deck. And my pride and joy is a trio of Stage 4 amps. I have a pair of PRS-A900s that will run the 3 way Stage 4 comps. And a PRS-1200SPL to run at least one of the Stage 4 10" subs. I have a pair of subs but unsure if I will be able to fit both.
All the drivers will be in front of the truck. Midbass in door locations, tweeters and midrange in sails or A pillers, and the sub/subs in the center console area. I have some idea a for the subs that I will share later. The amps, cap, and distribution will go behind the rear seat.
I actually installed a 12" flip down for the kids this evening. That's what made me decide to go ahead and to this build log. It will be motivation to keep going. So here's some pics:
