Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.23



Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

take the door interior sill off - 3/4 screws, pop that off, then same as the rear, run the power wire up that way.

center for RCA's - remove center console, cut a hole in the carpet, use a coat hanger to help pull the wires up the middle to under the rear seat.

really, tear apart the back seat and half the car interior and then run the wires. Not really a write up on this stuff, you just gotta do it.. in my car half the screws were rusted so i had to make alternate plans.

THANKS MONKEYYYY!YY!Y!YY!Y!Y!!!!!!!!

NOW THIS: Do I need one of those like distributor things for the battery terminals when I do the big 3?

Also, I will just need TWO dist blocks overall correct?
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

i don't get why you wanna run so many amps.. personally unless your doing competition audio, replacing the stock stuff, thicker wiring, a good HU, Amp and Sub, and your car will make plenty of quality sound..

you now have to spend a fortune in sound deadening, amps, wiring, TIME. speakers. Oh and a HO alt, maybe an extra battery.. car audio is a VERY slippery slope.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

someone told me to make a new ground for each amp, so if you go that route you'll only need one distribution block
 
Sorry, Maybe I missed this part, but where do you get $85 for a trans pan drop, filter and fluid? I think it was like $30 when I did mine. And if your taking it elsewhere, don't. If a chick can climb under there and do it, so can you.
 


Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

I have one amp for my sub powered by 4ga Stinger wiring kit. At this moment I run the speakers off my headunit and it sounds great. Audio guys are usually pretty impressed with my system for what I have in it. You do not need 3 amps and blah blah blah... K.I.S.S
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

I've fallen down that slope hahaaa. But seriously its what I want. I am starting with the two amps (got one for a deal hopefully the other one also), adding the third later. You really don't think my alt can handle 800 watts even after I do the big 3 upgrade (I'll deal with it if it cant). As for sound deadening I'll add as I please, so far its just the stock stuff in there, I have two 10"x10" sheets of dynamat to put somewhere lol. I already have *****in speakers and HU.

Please answer mis questiones if u know the answers.

I like teh music en stuff.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

I wasn't planning on paying someone for a pan drop haha. someone told me the fluid and filter costs that much...

I went to advanced, fluid was $17ish (x2) and filter was around that too. So yeah, you can cut that estimate I half. Sorry, just looked high. Carry on
Click to expand...

It can cost well more than that too. Just depends on where you go to get the parts.
GM Tranny Filter Kit - #24227477 $58.50
Dex6 Gal - #88861954 $30.89 x2 -$61.78
So total if you got it from a Dealership - $120.28 +tax

But yes, local auto stores will get you everything for a ton less. And if you can't do it, you need to turn in your man card.
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

So at school today I was called down to the assistant principal's office and it sounded urgent. He tells me to sit down, and a police detective walks in.. He tells me that he has reason to believe my car was used in a home invasion during lunch today. He said that it matched the description and that "it felt warm." At the time I;m freaking out because he made it sound like my car was stolen from the parking lot or something, but I cooperate, let him search my locker, show him my pockets are all empty, and ride up to my car and let him search it for anything suspicious.. Of course he found nothing. Kind of embarrassing having a cop and the asst. principal escort you around the school and take you to your are in the back of a cop car lol.

Of course they both commented on how clean my car was haha.

Grand Prix, why u no look innocent?!
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

yeah a red grand prix like they are so rare lol. He probably could have driven 2 miles down the road and saw 10 more.
 


Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

Should've said

"Are you guys looking for all that stuff I stole earlier? Its not here its in my garage. :trollface:"
 
Re: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.16

Installed all new screws along the door sills, and am replacing these in the doors this weekend:
