    Seat belts

    Quick update...I still wasn't able to crack the code on getting these things apart so I pulled the belts out as far as thy could go, clamped them with a spring clamp and washed them in a tile mortar tub with some simple green. They came out awesome! With the buckles, I just shot them out with...

    Seat belts

    Hey All! I am waiting to get my Burb back from the paint shop and I have been trying to get all the interior pieces done up so they are ready to install. I am looking at the seat belts and have seen some great restorations on this an another site. One post showed a tutorial and what I think...

    Emblem clean up

    Hey All, I found some stuff from Chemical Guys I have been using on just about every plastic/rubber part I have put my hands on in the Burb and this stuff is as advertised..It's called VRP and I used it along with some spray wax and 0000 steel wool to clean up my fender emblems and I was...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I bet...just looking at the draw of that amp I'm wondering if with the truck RUNNING it is going to be an issue?! Can I simply add another battery for the alternator to charge just for capacity or do I need to wire in relays/switches/etc?

    That's a clean install I think! One of things that gets underestimated is the knowledge you gain from doing something like that yourself from the ground up...something he can do with his kids someday! Priceless

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I appreciate it Scribbles! I'm fairly committed at this point with the four 3.5" in the dash, the 4x10 rears and a 12" sealed sub...I have 96sf of Kilmat to spread around too so hopefully that helps my acoustics a bit. I'm not listening to classical music but would like some reasonable...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I appreciate all the advice! You are correct, I am nowhere near an audiophile but would like some relatively clean tunes watching the sunset from the tailgate! I actually did have to call Cerwin Vega because the 3.5" speakers had 3 different RMS ratings..25w on the website description, 30w in...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Thanks Randy! I picked up this amp as it looked like the best fit for my sitch.. Another technical question....I'm assuming as long as I hook up speakers between 2-8 ohms the amp will automatically "see" the correct impedance and adjust current accordingly? I guess the reason I ask is because...

    how to mount an amplifier behind behind front seat

    Hey there! I'm looking for an amp to go under the front bench seat in an '81 Burb...however at the moment I don't have the seats to check clearances..any ideas the dimensions on your amps? Thanks a bunch!

    Hey Randy, any idea what the dimensions on that amp are? I did a cardboard mock up of the one I was looking at (23x7x3) and it doesn't look like its going to fit under the seat....although I doesn't have the seats at the moment it looks too tall at 3" and too long at 23"

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Yeah....I was trying to go simple and now I'm down the rabbit hole! I just wanted to drop in the 4x10's to the stock location and be done but running 6x9's in those spots with a spacer probably the way to go...like you said in the beginning, haha I thought about 2 amps as well before I found...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Ok...so I'm rounding up parts and I think I'm almost there but I need a 5 channel amp: Head Unit- Pioneer dmh c2550nex- It allows for remote mounting of the touchscreen/headunit so I am going to be able to mount the unit in stock radio location and secure the touchscreen to a mount without...
