Talking '84 Bronco audio

I recently bought an 84 Bronco rust free for a new life in Michigan. The truck is in great condition, but needs a little updating. I found the dash pieces with the small din hole so I still maintain a stock look there. Due to finances, I cant put the sudio system in yet as the engine is toast right now...302 roller...another story. But here is what I have collected so far for my audio buildup...

H/U --- Sony minidisc 2 pr pre outs

Front doors -- 6 1/2 4-way pioneer TS-a1680r 220 watt
Front doors amp -- Pioneer GMX-502 160 watts (upgrading soon)

Front/rear sides (behind drivers seat for rear seats)
-- Pioneer 6X9 4-ways TS-6969
Front/Rear amp -- PPI 2240 240wts (clean pure power)

Rear/Rear (added location behind rear seats for loudness really!)
-- Pioneer 6X8 4-ways 240 watts TS-A6880R
Rear/Rear (new location) AMP
-- MTX rt-1200X 220 watts great strength

Rear subs 2X 10"MTX 7000 matched 1000 wts max ea.
-- Custom bandpass/cannon box of my own design
-- Rear subs amp --
-- MTX 6500d mono sub amp (150 like new at ebay!!! works great)


All of this will bw installed when i find a good alarm system, and I goto redo the interior. The int. is gonna be included with the audio, I'll pry go with tweed all around to rid the crappy sounding plastic panels, and get that custom car look, and then I can build the amp boxes into the interior cameleon-like. That way the amp case a,d subs, are kind like bench seat sorta thing with the tweed on it, like it is part of the interior.

The amp case will pry house the battery, and all the amps. Dont know yet, but i might run a new alt, using the no-longer used smog-pump bracket, and have that alt. feed only the audio battery mounted in the back of the truck...Might save on long lengths of expensive thick wire that way (please email me with sugg. spaceganja@ameritech.net )
That will also allow me to put in a cooling fan and duct to keep air moving across the amps and have it all "hidden" to keep dirty hands out of my truck!

All of that should have me a very loud, and clean sounding audio system that PinkFloyd will sparkle with.

Any suggestions on the alternator issue would be appreciated...also...anyone ever heard of winding their alts. with silver wire??? just a question...silver conducts elect. WAYYYY better?

I just installed a system in the Cre Cab F350 I bought last week.

Here goes:
Alpine 9813 Headunit
Alpine XM tuner and Terk antenna
4 Clarion Pro Audio 5x6 speakers
Alpine 300 watt mono amp
2 Alpine Type E 10" subs

Coming soon:

I just ordered an Alpine 1004 Flip out monitor,
and will pair it with either an Audiovox 1 din DVD player, or a Planet audio DVD player.

Also, an Alpine 4 channel amp to power the 4x6 speakers.

Interstate does not make a battery, they only distribute them, they have manufacturers make them for them and put their name on them. However, they do stricktly specify their standards before they put their name on it!

Crew cab speaker custom set-up help

Does anyone have an aftermarket/custom speaker set-up in the crew cab? I am looking for ideas for my 2004. I don't plan on removing the rear seats either.
I am going to see about removing the floor crap. I have 2 carseats in back so i won't be needing the floor crap. Do you have any pics of the center console? At the moment i have 2 10" kenwoods in truck boxs. I would like to see if they would fit under the seat. If not maybe i will trade by bro for his tube.

We have some bad ***** stereos, don't we?

I gutted a regular cab 2003 F150 stepside and went wacko on sound deadening, then stuffed it like a big fat Thanksgiving Day Turkey:

Blaupunkt CD/MP3/WMA w/ six 4 volt pre-outs (2 sub outs @ 100hz), and an Aux input for a 30 gig hard drive;

Power by Aura Mobile Reference 6 channel amp w/mixed stereo/mono 2 ohm capability and 3 active crossovers;

Coustic V-series Power Logic component 5 1/4 mids and 1" tweets. The mids are mounted in my own custom made kick panel enclosures, and the tweets are still making the rounds before they find a place to call home.

Peerless CSC-X 6 1/2 woofers are mounted, via seperate insulated and damped sheetmetal baffles, in seriously modified doors obtained in a swap with the owners of an alien spacecraft.

And just to make sure that when the bass drum kicks, it kicks you in the @#$; two bazooka subs behind the seats, corner loaded.

It's not a Bumper- it's a rocker.
(although, on occasion I will lets friends play their "mix" now that I have the unbreakable glass in the Alien Spacecraft doors).

Okay, now everybody- Saturday, 12:00 midnight pacific time, we all get in our rides- roll down our windows- pop in our War "Low Rider" CD's- and CRANK IT!!!!
