New Square Body Build Part 6: Complete audio overhaul

In this video, we install a ‪@RetrosoundCarAudio‬ M2A head unit and LOADS of ‪@KICKER-AUDIO‬ speakers and amps. Most of which, we ordered from ‪@crutchfield‬ as usual. All part numbers are shown in the video for the equipment used. #kicker #audio #stereo #Chevy #gmc #truck #squarebody #c10 #restomod #LS #lsswap #tci #build #engine #trucks #greasemonkeytv #4link #fuel #summitracing

Great job

[@309technology]

Great deal and sounds

[@jhh70]

the AMP trade LOL you have to be quick to get that. LOLLLLLLLLL

[@gingerbreadman7536]

I think that I’m going to use your idea in my 83!!!

[@javi8431]

Thankyou

[@loboxx337]

I want to build the speaker cabinets myself for the behind the bench seat corners for a custom fit.

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

Excellent!

[@Sbcutlass]

Hey great video I like the idea for the back can corner pieces how did you like the fit on the driver side kick panel I hear it blocks the vents in the non ac trucks

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

No issues.

[@otisdriftwood3324]

👍

[@TheRedsuper1]

Actually Kicker "Did" make a K-Series Amp. I have KXA 800.1 but they replaced it with the CX. BTW not terrible for a DIY job.

[@marcjessie8156]

Looks great! Thanks for the info, I should be starting my build shortly. Where did you get the gages and panel?

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

NVU from summit

[@BurbDude]

I really wanna do the sound system in my squarebody, How much did all of this cost? Minus the head unit

[@TDS82]

@GreaseMonkeyTV - thanks for the great video! Are you happy with the sound quality from the Kicker 10"? It sounds like you can get the seat all the way back with out issues, is this correct? Do you think the seat would go back with the 12" version? Thanks!

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

It sounds pretty good. Not tuned ported enclosure good but close. Seat goes all the way back. 12” version would not allow that.

[@-OokySpooky-]

What gauges are those!?

[@whitesrepairs1836]

What’s gauges are those. I like those

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

[@gasolineimagesinc.7133]

Looking to do a similar setup in my square. I’m 6’3” and need the seat alllll the way back. Does that sub box make contact with the seat at all? I’m considering that 10” setup or possibly going two of the 8” version.

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

Speakers make contact w the seat vinyl. I’d probably do a ported 8” enclosure vs this.

[@gasolineimagesinc.7133]

@@GreaseMonkeyTV Thanks for the reply!

[@slammin86]

Do the kick panels install over the existing panels, or replace them entirely?

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

Over.

[@gagedawson9352]

Hey so I am knew to audio and I have been using this video as a reference for my 86 k10 but I have a question. So you have the IX500.1 on one side of the box at 12:36 but why's that other amp on the other side? Would I need to buy 2 amps if I was to get this subwoofer? If so what kind of amp is it so I can get it for my truck.

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

The amp on the right is for the front speakers.

[@gagedawson9352]

@@GreaseMonkeyTV ohh alright that makes sense, thank you 🙏

[@williamb454]

Whats better restrosound, custom auto sound, or whatever the brand is???

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

This is the only one of these I’ve tried. Gone straight Bluetooth on the other builds.

[@cheezitman9942]

should i get the ksc40s or the ksc35 cause its a 3.5 instead of a 4?

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

3.5 if you don’t want to fab anything.

[@bradleycrenshaw6778]

how did you attach the board to the cab?

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

It's not attached. Maybe re-watch how its made to sit against the back wall.

[@alberthernandez4947]

Sir where’s your shop sir

[@brodylittle9014]

can you still move your seat all the way back

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

Not all the way.

[@robertosalazar6574]

Did you have to cut the dash to fit the 4 inch speaker? It looks like it fit right into the original bracket.

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

I had to modify the drivers side bracket. Passenger side had to mount the speaker from underneath the bracket vs top side.

[@tates_eq756]

do u recommend this brand for this model? or would Skar also work out perfectly? (or is it just cheaper but also good quality?) i bought a 1987 square body chevy and looking forward to putting subs in it and im not sure what exactly

[@GreaseMonkeyTV]

Never tried any Skar products.

[@tates_eq756]

@@GreaseMonkeyTVokay thank you! also where did u get the headlights again? I love them!

[@YourMomCouldntHandleMe]

What kind of gauge cluster did you get?
