Meagan - My 81 Shortwide

[81-n-done]

Hey all, relatively new to the forum (been lurking a while, just signed up and already have a complaint thread in the Interior section, lol)

I recently bought my 1981 shortwide after a long hiatus without owning any vehicles (thank God I get my personal space back again), has a nice crate 350 and turbo 400 in it, so-so paint job, professional lowering, decently redone interior, and absolutely zero sound system

Anyhoot, here are a few pics. Will be making some slight modifications, upgrades, projects on the truck , figured i would start a little thread

Nice truck. Is that what you call a scallop? The white area? I like it.

haha, yeah, that stripe and the tonneau cover are actually both silver (looks like white in the pics). the stripe is okay, but will be gone when i eventually get to having the body work redone.

The tonneau cover I fricken hate though. Some custom job, silver diamond plate design. Considering getting another tonneau, weighing it out though, since it will be about 350 to get a new one customized for the truck (black if I do get another), and if I am gonna paint it in a year or so who cares since the and tonneau will be bye bye

Just got my stereo equip ordered. total novice with all things related to electrical/audio, and will basically be going trial and error through this whole thing.

Kenwood excelon X994
infinity reference 5020cs components
qform kicks for the components
Pioneer TS-SWX310 12" shallow sub enclosed
Rockford Fosgate Prime R300-4 300 Watt amp

This is going to be a fricken circus with me being an idiot and all, but I will try to post up pics and let everyone know what I do wrong as I go along, haha.

Using Fosgates site for a lot of reference stuff

I will be under powering the sub a little bit, but heck, I dont think its gonna kill me, and I am on a limited budget and got everything for just under 700 bucks

This will get interesting...

Oh , and in case anyone cares, crutchfield has the q-logic qform kick panels on sale for a very good price right now. The ones for my truck were marked down from $179 to $129, then you can then use this code (3A171) to get an additional $20 off any order over $100. Mine costed $109 shipped, which is about 50% off the usual price with shipping.

I sell kick panels that fit inside that insert so you don't have to replace what you have.

Dang it! I wanted to buy from you too, but I swear that when I went in to look for the kicks it said they were out of stock. I must be trippin'. I am always more comfortable supporting smaller businesses over a monster like Crotchfield, but I thought they were my only viable choice. Haha, gonna have to make sure I check with you in the future Capt.
