I am in the process of doing a custom system in my 2004 Lightning, which motivated me to start one in my 2007 Tahoe.

2007 Tahoe List
- Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT
- 2 JL Audio 10" W6
- Custom Box
- Sound deadening floor, doors, roof, etc
- JL Audio HD 600/4 and 750/1
- Focal Component 6.5 3ways and 6.5" 2way
- Rearview camera
- Pac steering wheel controls

I'm still deciding on the headrest monitors

I'm also looking to swap out the middle row captain chairs for a bench seat

It's going to be a slow process due to holidays and work and work on the 6-speed Ford Lightning, but I will post up pics throughout the process

Merry Christmas to me

as far as headrest monitors. I have just installed 6 Gryphon 7" HD MOnitors...They are the best I have seen without buying Alpine headrest...SHHHH they are the same manufacturers ...so you get them for half the price. If you are interested . I can get them for you at a discount price. PM me for the discounted price.

The only question I can answer for you is to mount the GPS antenna right by the Auto lights sensor on the front of the dash, you can run the wire under the steering dash area, then into the pillar area (not up the pillar) and out the seperation in the "hind-dash" and the "fore dash". The fore-dash is the second dash peice that holds the light sensor.
Does that make sense?

I thought about there, but I wanted something hidden, I'm probably going to put it under the plastic wiper cowl, did that on my Lightning with The AVIC-Z3 and didnt have any issues

I had to take out my third row seats for all of my work stuff, and with the sub box it wont look as good with the capt. chairs

You never sent me pics of your seats, I'l be willing to trade, the other guy never hit me back

+ 1...you put them in yet?

I have them in the kick panels, haven't started on the doors yet, I had to put the stock radio back in for now because I forgot the Pac-sw1 and wiring harness so I dont have to splice into the stock harness, will continue when when the last pieces get here.

And I ordered 2 more JL W6 10s and another JL HD 750/1, so I'll have a box made for 4 10's, should hit pretty hard LOL
