05Single's virgin build thread. 03 tahoe

[05Single]

Making excellent progress! Those LTZ 20s look good! Nice tails too!

Thanks. Very happy with the look. If a nice set of 22s pop up I'll consider them , but I'm not spending time searching for wheels anymore like before. Tails flow well with the look, but will be changing them later. Have a few ideas.

Too many, cant make up my mind. Got all winter to figure it out tho lol

Truck was getting filthy. Added oem flares back on to help with these nasty roads up here. Helps a little. Put one oem black flare on and wasnt feelin it how it looked now the tahoe is lowered, so those stay off till paint eventually....maybe

Wondering if I should ptm the flaps

Finally ran the wire for the rest tweets. Used 30' 16awg shielded with 4 wires and had about 4' left over.
Was a long run but not as bad as I expected.

Rattling my brain how to mount these and after half hour looking around and finding searching for random "things" in my random drawer I came across these hard plastic picture hangers and they worked perfectly. Had to trim the plastic just a little for fitment. Mounted to plastic pillar cover instead of body. Now have a full front and rear range of tweets and these CT sounds components sounds amazing. Next will be a small amp to get the most out of them, maybe a 400x4.

Btw happy Thanksgiving. Driving around all day in town to families houses. Tahoe doing great hauling everyone around. Today I'm thankful for a great reliable truck.

Could you have just used the factory wires instead of running new?

Those straps look like they worked perfectly. Good job.

That's where they ended when his torque wrench said stop.

I tried. Factory wires run both mid and tweet. The tweet branches off the same wire and has a tiny capacitor on it so it gets the same signal as the mid but cancels the lows and only let's the highs through without the use of a crossover. At first I thought maybe the crossover was built into the amp but I guess not.

Actually in the pic they're a little off, but once its installed they line up perfectly. But I cant take a pic of the back after install. I would need an x-ray machine.

Dropped in some 3000k hid bulbs. Wasn't feelin it. Heard led gives a better/crisper color....not worried about output. So I tried out some leds

Hids

Leds

Well its confirmed, much better and crisper yellow for sure. Piss off a lot of drivers, not brightness but obnoxiousness. Love the look, especially on the snow. Nothing like seeing piss yellow snow everywhere you drive lol

Quite the shake, woke up to a monsterous long lasting 7.0 earthquake. Had another aftershock, this one at 5.0 . Brings the total aftershocks recorded here to 6000 in less than a month, getting tired of it. Shook the house hard and fast. Was a large boom and felt like a truck ran into the house. No damage but one of my tail light projects fell down and I didnt notice. On my way to work driving out of the garage I heard a crack and pop... was a tail that fell off the shelf and I ran over it. Sucks, honestly had big plans for these and was about to dig back into these this week.

 

[05Single]

New set of tails . To be honest these are not as bright as the ones I had before, bit I like the look a little better. Came with resistors, so I made my own mounts
