Pretty cool. Great solution for a similar problem I’m having. I’ll definitely be looking into this.

[@christbasil8860]

I was actually looking for something like this and this video helped out a lot! Also 100/10 sound effects at 25:23 🔥

[@SIMPLE.C10]

HahHahah😂

[@johnnylo3475]

Another 🔥🔥🔥video !

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks

[@cryptosneakers1180]

yeah, now this is what i'm talking about. Thank you!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thank you for the support.

[@skippygirl959]

Awesome!! I think this may be the system for me.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Sweet!

[@Chezgrizzly]

Nice vid! Would be cool to see the best way to re do weather stripping. Doors windows etc!

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks for the support. I haven’t tackled much of the weather stripping stuff. I usually replace door seals with the push on kind but that’s easy compared to the doors and windows.

[@boneal4942]

Awesome thank you for sharing👍

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Absolutely. Thanks for the support.

[@jeffrichied4828]

Great video Travis. I just installed the Boss amp along with the JBL GTO 6.5 in kick panels and 6x9 in cab corners. Truthfully, was disappointed with the sound quality so I did some research and found a couple guys installed a powered under seat sub. Have you done that yet? I just installed a Cerwin Vega 10” powered sub connecting it to the Boss amp line out. I cannot tell you how much of a difference it makes. Love it and highly recommend adding one if you haven’t yet. It makes a huge difference and sounds so much better.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I did add the boss 10 inch sub under the seat. I thought the quality before was pretty good but sound is so subjective. The bass really added another dimension to it.

[@ryanwilliams3369]

Gonna do A consoleless 3rd gen firebird. This got me thinking now.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Awesome!

[@johnmccool7551]

I use my daughters bazooka tube from Best Buy and connect to Spotify done deal.no wires and you can take it in and out .👍👍👍

[@SIMPLE.C10]

That works!

[@Gallows_Motorcycle]

that is cool ... old lookin' new style radio's will set you back 500-800$ ... that is a very good sollution.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

For sure! A very affordable option. You could leave your old radio in there for looks as well.

[@skippygirl959]

Thanks for checking if it connects automatically when you turn the truck on. I've been trying to find a unit that will do that because it may get annoying to go into my settings and connect every time I get in my car

[@SIMPLE.C10]

That was important to me too!

[@jtroilo1957]

Great video. What front speakers are you using? I see your link to the 6x9's but curious about the fronts if you can please share.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

JBLs like the 6x9s

[@nursecuenca]

Awesome video. I recently bought 1965 c10. Front right headlight is not working. Is a replacement bulb used or do I need entire lamp that needs replacement. If you can please advise

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Typically you would replace the whole lamp. Some lights are called “sealed lights” that are the whole assembly. I would just take your headlight out and see what you have going on. You’ll be able to see if it’s separated or one piece.

[@christ510]

Best place for control unit would be near or on top of the dash, the box anywhere else.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

If you’re only using your phone then it can all be hidden. It’s great. Connects quickly and use the phone for volume, song, and equalizer.

[@pags409]

Great video. Why did you not just setup under the seats? I just installed the Vintage Air myself.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Thanks! I didn’t want to run all the wires under the carpet. And I wanted an easy place to be able to press the pair button if I needed access. Under the seat is a good idea though if you want to run longer wires for everything and then mount the controller somewhere.

[@pags409]

Is it actually loud with your exhaust system??? I’m currently running glass packs and am worried about sound. I think I’m going to velcro the wired controller just under the drivers side of the bench seat, for easy access in such a situation. Oh after listening again you can add an amp, JIC.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

It’s very loud over my exhaust because the cab has the sound deadener in it. The blue tooth player is a 500w amp by itself and then you can add an external amp for subs or other speakers as well.

[@IvaanGarciaa]

Looks great. Can you plug an eq into that boss amp ?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I’m not positive about that. Good questions though.

[@Tumusica311]

I have this same one and Im trying to do a cooler with speakers but Ive connected all cables to the speakers and have the battery but It will not turn on.Any advice? I see the ground wire and the yellow wire that goes to the 12v battery,what Im missing😮‍💨

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Do you have the blue remote wire hooked up? It controls when it turns on.

[@04wheelerteddy23]

Lookin at a square body that has no radio at all, don’t know if the wirings there, could I just run accessory power to this then speakers and it be fine?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Yessir. Basically what I did.

[@ryanjackson6252]

Did you run the 12v battery wire straight to the battery or did you connect it to an 8 or 10 gauge wire?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

The factory radio 12v to the fuse box.

[@Hobbiesoverhumans]

What gauge speaker wire did you use? I bought the same speakers and BOSS.

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I believe on the video I mention it. I think it was 16 gauge.

[@toman77]

Hello, what speakers watts and ohms I can use, please...?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Not sure on that. This was a long time ago.

[@jeffpittillo9273]

Sorry for the dumb question but, It doesn't need a radio to wire to?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

No it doesn’t need a radio. It hooks up the same way a radio does and runs off of Bluetooth or aux cord.

[@vruano2012]

Where you get that glove box? I need to replace my cardboard

[@SIMPLE.C10]

That one comes with the vintage air setup. It’s smaller to allow the air unit. You can get a replacement cardboard from LMC.

[@moonburnt_garage]

How would I play my manson cassettes?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

It’s only for the beautiful people but I’m sure you can find an answer in your sweet dreams. Haha.

[@bobbung6941]

Does this have an app to adjust eq??

[@SIMPLE.C10]

No but I use Spotify equalizer to make it sound great. You can’t adjust left right front back though.

[@flyingpancake7790]

How much bass does it have and can you adjust that?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

If you play music through Spotify, Spotify has different options to adjust bass but the Bluetooth radio does not.

[@flyingpancake7790]

@@SIMPLE.C10 ok so id need to wire an external amp/ sub box. thanks

[@NoahDever]

Will it run to a second amp?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

I believe so

[@kingenrique]

How’s it working 1 year later?

[@SIMPLE.C10]

Works great

[@caseysmith8090]

How do you EQ this amp? Everything done on phone?
