Madjik Man's laugh-at/with-him "build"

Thank you.

The OME lift I bought (881 coils and Dakar springs, no AAL) claims a lift of 2 to 2.5" over stock. It's hard to tell how much lift over stock I got because my original suspension was so saggy.

I really love the stance too. I think it's perfect for keeping 31s and not having too much wheel well gap.

 

Would the regular Polk db651 fit in the rear without trimming or does it have to be the s model all the way around?

 

I believe you can get away with the regular model in the rear.

But don't quote me on that. Check with Crutchfield. They're incredibly helpful/knowledgable.

 

Ok, Thanks for your help. Just making sure, you didnt have to order any speaker adapters. Correct?

 

I did not. All brackets are stock.

 

You're welcome!

I think 2" is exactly what I want. Also planning on color matching my grill (97, Lavender Steel) because of your truck

 

Jordan, do you have photos of your RAAM audio install? Did you buy package 1? Anything done to the dash area?

 

Take your actual questions and GTFO.

 

I do have pics, not many though. You know how it is sometimes when you're buried in the job - you don't feel like stopping for pics. If you go to the first post and click on the audio link it should bring you to the post that has some pics in it.

I can also help from memory.

And yes, I bought package 1. It was enough to do the rear wall in its entirety, both of my doors, the kicker panels and the rear quarter panels. Plus some bits and pieces here and there like around the front seat belt brackets, etc.

And I have a couple of pieces of the BXTII leftover and some of the ensolite.

 

Cool. wasn't sure if i should get package 2 or not for my double cab. Sounds like i may be able to just buy a few extra sheets of both and be good.

Thanks!

 

You could probably get away with package 1 for Igor. Admittedly I went overboard on my doors' outer skins. You really only need to cover about 50% of the surface with BXTII to achieve substantial gains. Anything after that is minimal return on investment. I covered it approximately 85%.

 

well i'd like to do all 4 doors. Kick panels and the whole rear wall and maybe into the floor back there.

Ill get the package 1 and like two or three extra sheets of each and some normal ensolite for stuffing the dash with.

wonder how much doing the roof would help. its pretty damn flexible.

 

I wouldn't go too nuts on the floor as it's pretty stiff already. But I'm sure you can find some resonant areas of it to lay some BXTII on.

Yeah, I'd love to have done the roof but I'm too chicken shit to remove the headliner.

Let me know how your project goes... I'd love to do the firewall eventually. But my next deadening project is on Judas. Holy fawk that car is loud.

 

Firewall would be nice. But im just going to literally stuff some of that shit up around the dash as best i can. Not going to remove the dash or anything.

You have the vinyl headliner right? Would not recommend taking that off. really its kind of impossible. Igors is the hard shell one so its not too terrible..still a PITA though.

 

I have no idea what lurks behind the carpet on the headliner.

 

oh if yours is carpet then you should go for it!

 

I'm too chicken shit to remove the headliner

 

fucking eat some spinach, grow some man balls, and take that shit off.

 

Jordan, I thought your headliner was vinyl? If it's just the molded foam/carpet, it's pretty easy

 

Hey Madjik, a couple questions, 1)do you remember off hand where the 2 small springs came from? 2) did you end up using some dielectric grease to hold the small spring in place on the window lock button?
Thanks
