Asking Santa!

I'm really surprised that I was able to spend as much as I did for the new stereo stuff I put in the truck this summer.
But, I've asked Santa for some more truck stuff for Christmas.
I've picked out a set Kicker speakers for all four doors, and front pillar. All wires, crossovers etc included. Also asking for some inexpensive LED strips so I can make the reflector on the side mirrors, a working turn signal. And Ka'Bluey needs weather strip for both door jambs, and windows, and he needs a stereo, there's just a hole there now

So, what are you hoping Santa brings you for you truck

A full tank of gas!

Although as much as I do NOT NEED it, the 5 Star Tuning deal on device with tunes sure is tempting!

I'm hoping for some tow mirrors! Although, with my new truck payment Santa may be strapped for cash.

I did get the Kicker speakers for the 2013. Two sets of 6x8's, the rear are coaxle and the front pair are component speakers. I got the rear speakers in today, and the front mounted in the doors.
So tomorrow I install the crossover and the woofers and tweeters, and fire it up. And a couple of clear LED strips, and now the reflectors on the front of the side mirrors, are now turn signals.

Hope y'all had a nice Christmas

Santa saw that Bedrug currently has a $30 rebate going on and he scheduled the appointment for the window tinting later this week.
The Old Fat guy treated me pretty good this year.

I asked Santa for a truckload of cash to help with bills, but alas no dice. Going to need to focus on those before anymore mods.

I totally spaced off taking pictures of the install. But here's all that is seen.

I knew better than to ask for a truckload of anything, let alone cash.

Looking good Bob. Let me know how you like those Kicker speakers. I really need to get some new speakers for Betty.

Alex, these Kickers sound great! Way better sound than the stock speakers, pretty decent low's for not having a sub nor an amp. Nice bass still, and with those tweeters, the highs are nice and bright.

I checked out several different brands on line, and read a lot of reviews. And made the decision to go with the Kickers. And for the wattage they're rated for, versus the 50 watt max from the Pioneer stereo that I bought, they should last a long time.
