Where are you getting those Huge amps. I looked on E-Bay and don't see anything like those. Is a Old School JL Audio 1000/1 or 450/4 worth buying used ?

Most of my setup is DC Audio I'm on their company team. skyhighcaraudio.com
Soundsolutionsaudio.com
Caraudiobargain.com
Explicitaudio.com
Down4soundshop.com
Are good places to find more competition based stuff including DC. Jl audio isn’t bad stuff at all just for what I do it’s not really worth it.

So I goofed and didn’t take pictures because I just got this done quickly and forgot until I had it back in the Tahoe. :emotions122:
But Im not sure if I mentioned it I know I was chatting with @05Single about it. When I put the Escalade cluster in I noticed one day that my tow/haul indicator wasn’t showing up when I pressed it. Everything functions as it should but no light. I always kick on tow/haul when climbing any grades or hills etc to keep the trans out of overdrive and not heat up. 205k on the stock 4l60 gotta play it as safe as possible :hahano:
Anyways it has been one of those small things that bugged the crap out of me. Pulled my stock cluster off the shelf and de soldered the tow/haul bulb, then swapped it into the Escalade cluster and it works again thankfully.

I keep forgetting about that mode I just shift down into 3rd gear. Sometimes I put it in the Tow/Haul mode to see if it still works.

Ordered a 10 dollar 50 pack of 3mm 9-12v leds off Amazon and gave it a go converting all my switches. Everything was quite easy for the most part. I didn’t want insanely annoying bright switches just wanted to fix the lights that were out and change everything to match in green. The only thing that sucks is something with my alarm/remote start is keeping my window switches from lighting up unless I remote start it. With the compustars you have to put the key in the ignition and foot on brake to “take control” after remote start. Once I put my foot on the brake pedal I hear a relay click and the door switch lighting turns off. Everything works perfect as it should I just can’t keep them lit up. So i gotta figure out how to make them work when I turn my lights on. Gotta be something with the relays wired in for the lock/unlock through the alarm I’m thinking. Anyways here they are!

before......well I knew I forgot to do something hahaha oops here is a really old picture where you can see the before of my climate controls I guess. My bad lol

What are these sound/boom box meets called? Last time I saw one was atleast 15 years ago. Curious to see what DFW has to offer.

so I compete in IASCA in Oregon, sometimes DB DRAG and USACI. There is a bunch of different organizations throughout the country. If you go on termpro.com you’ll be able to see any events and all the organizations. If you find one close to you and can, go check it out! They are a lot of fun!
