I need to do this

 

I was skeptical at first but talked myself into it. So happy I decided to install them. Took all but 30 mins.

 

It's almost unbelievable what a difference those little speakers make in a Turd gen

I used one like this on my 700# kings. I felt relatively safe.

 

That looks really good.

Can you trim the top of the plate holder for more clearance and maybe re drill those mounting holes on the side?

 

Thanks!


I think I'll add maybe an inch long extension, even if that will make a double joint (kinda like Flipster) it should work.
Welding a piece on it would make more sense, but that's above my abilities.

 

That's what I was worried about, something that I know isn't made of chinesium that'll handle 700lb coils.

 

@HolyHandGrenade has one like that. He’s still alive.

 

@PCTaco do you know if the OVtune made a difference in your trans temps?

 

No idea. I just know it made me not hate driving the truck.

 

I did the OEM Audio+ upgrade. What a difference

 

It doesn’t affect anything poorly, maybe except your MPG because it’s so nice to put your foot down

 

I've been thinking about swapping out the door speakers. Think that would make a big difference?

 

Yes big difference, have all mine swapped. Way better then stock by far!

 

What did you go with? Everything I know about car audio is like 10 yrs old. I don't want to AMP the speakers..I've got enough stuff hooked up to the battery as it is.

 

I went with kicker. Crutchfield is we’re i got everything

 

That's where I'm looking now. I'm going to check out fronts and rears. I'd assume I just need the adapter kit so they fit, metra harnesses, and speakers? Should be plug and play from there..

 

Yes correct

 

Was hoping with different shifting it might bring them down.

 

Depends what you’re coming from/going to. For a 2nd gen I would say that door speakers would make a great difference
