hey mike, what all does your stereo consist of?

i have 2 10" MTX thunder 6000 subs running off of a 400watt interfire amp, MTX tweeters, pioneer 6x9's, and two new blaupunkt 3 1/2's in the dash all running off the blaupunkt deck.    

[83CHEVY]

Well Mr. 80scottsdale, I have a JVC Digifine CD player that plays MP3's on CD-R's and CD-RW's.  It has a brushed aluminum finish to blend well with my trucks interior trim.  It also has a VOLUME KNOB that is very nice (I hate volume buttons).

I've got 3-1/2" Infinity 2 ways for the dash, Infinity separates for the Q-Forms in the kick panels, Infintity 5-1/4" for the 4x10 cab corner spots, (2) JL Audio 8" subs, and a Precision Power 5 channel amp to power it all.  The front channels will run at 2-ohms, the rears at 4 ohms (for soundstage) and the subs will run in parallel to get 2-ohms on the mono channel for them.

I just have to figure out how to mount the subs so I can still store stuff and maybe put a rifle behind the seat still.  I also have to figure out how to mount that big ol' amp under the seat.

I will have a lot of custom fab pieces for this system.  It should look great when I am done.  I am also putting in an Alpine security system with keyless entry.  I have designed some custom circuitry to make the horns honk when the alarm sounds (but not on chirps).  It will be cool.

[ChevyGuy]

My name is Mark, im 18 and im from a crappy town called Liberty Hill, TX but stuck in Waco, TX for school at TSTC to become a Computer Maintenance Tech.... should have went for automotive. I own a 76 chevy cheyenne long bed that has been in the family since it was new. I fixed it up over 3 years ago.... im never trusting Sherman Williams automotive paint again. So I was in the process of redoing door jams before the rest of the truck so its partially primered inside and no interior and I just put headers on it. Its power plant is a 350 .060 bus motor with a 280H Comp Cam, Edelbrock intake and valve covers, soon to be Comp Mag roller tips, it has 487 casting heads, 600 cfm Holley, Mallory Comp 9000 dist., and a TH400 which replaced the original granny which is sitting out back behind my dads shop. I Repainted it a factory 79 color which was charcoal metallic gray and it was from the factory black. I have to much stuff to list. I wish I was driving it but had to many tickets when i drove when i wrecked my stupid little Beretta. Cars and trucks is mostly what i know besides computers.

[compsmith2001]

Hello, My name is Lance Smith. I live in Chemung, NY. I purchased an 81 Scottsdale in May of 2001 and love it. I prefer the older trucks because they have more character.
I owned a 92 S-10 for over 7 years and still miss it. It was the best running vehicle I ever had. The guy I sold it to is still driving it with over 150,000 miles on it.

I have a 79 Chevy that is currently missing the front and back glass and sitting in the body shop for the third week.  I miss my toy.

It is also missing the bed since it was all rusted out.  I took it off so I could work on the frame.  I painted most of it black and did some detailing in Chevy orange.

I am painting it the factory metallic grey color that came in 79.

I have a 2" lift on my 3/4 ton 4x4 w/ a rebuilt 350.

Hey guys,
My name is Jim (duh).  I'm 41 and married with  twin 7 yr old boys.  We live in Tallmadge (northeast) Ohio (yeah, about 1/2 mile from Summit Racing).  I have a '77 C-20 and a '78 C-30 crew cab dually.  I also have a '65 mustang fastback and a Honda Civic race car (I'm not really to one brand).  I'm an ex-NIASE (pre ASE) certified Master Technician, and am now a mechanical engineer.  I'm always needing to do something on these old trucks, so I'm thankful for this forum.  Nice to meet you all.
Jim
