I admire anyone who does their own work....I admire someone even more when they do my labor for me.

[@TheSleepyCraftsman]

Ahh. Dynamat. Brings back memories of my early 20's.

[@jasonjackson329]

Yes it does. Especially at $20 a sheet. And would cut tiny pieces to stretch it out. Lol

[@gamblerracing311]

It great seeing the OG Silverado getting some love

[@nobodyschild967]

No Matter what brand is used...This "Ha-y-N Cowboy" did his research & got what he felt suited him. Clean installs is key for clarity.....Maika'i Kanaka! ALOHA & MAHALO NUI!!🤙🏽

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I gave my 2011 Silverado the same stereo treatment several years ago and it was the best thing I have done to the truck. My head unit has wireless carplay and is fantastic. BTW the word for the screen you were talking about is "capacitive" touch screen. Great video.

[@hunterrwiilson]

That transition from the song in the truck to the audio in the ending shot was flawless, nice execution, man!

[@1970genes]

Been watching channel for some time now and do enjoy the content. For this video I felt like I should offer some pointers:1. For optimum sound quality, would be best to also apply sound deadening to outer door skin. 2. Instead of electrical tape, order some Tesa tape. Keep the content coming.

[@shawnmcclure7282]

Much respect for taking a shot at it on your own! 👌🤘

[@FKMHSVIDCOM5024]

you should have put the dyna-mat on the inside of the bottom part of the door to keep the exterior skin from vibrating.

[@myboy051]

Yes and cover all the holes.

[@myboy051]

Should have covered all the large service holes in the doors. Also put the dynamat on the inside door skins. It’s absolutely a must. If you cover the holes you get a much better bass response and much less outside noise.

[@shawnmcclure7282]

I wanna do same to mine but these years chevys were notorious for water getting past window seals and would hold water if fully sealed. Plus I do alot of mudding and offroad but think I'm gonna stop doing that and get the ole 87 going again

[@poschevy7852]

Pretty awesome. One thing you could added was the boom mat. It's basically a foam box for the door speakers helps with mid range bass. I have them paired with my jl audio 6.5 and it's more bass than I thought

[@MrCokemaster05]

Get a separate amp for ur sub. Not gona get all into it but the 100by 4 is barely enough for ur speakers alone. The sub with it is jus killing it even more.. an always pay attention to rms only to make it less confusing!

[@jeremymatwyko6755]

Agreed. An underpowered sub will burn out quick. A simple wiring kit & Amp will fix it. Otherwise, awesome build.

[@robles-jw3xh]

Yea with all that dynamat I thought you were going with 2 12s lol. Nonetheless nice build.

[@jasonjackson329]

The deck actually has a built in amp for a sub also. It’s a one of a kind Sony. Lol but yeah. It’s kinda silly

[@bradysimpson]

@@jeremymatwyko6755 if under powering a sub will burn it out then if you drive around with your volume knob at say 10 out of 40, does that mean you will burn your sub out? Hahahahhaha If under powering your sub will burn it out, does that mean you have to always run it at full power? Hahahahahahah

[@jeremymatwyko6755]

@@bradysimpson Technically, you are correct... driving with no volume won't do anything to the subwoofer. But at any increased volume, it will cause clipping/distortion, eventually causing the sub to fail. Why go through all this work, not install an Amp, and have the sub evntually crap out? Lol

[@Ryans5.4]

Seeing that smile on your face reminds me of when I put my subs in. Awesome video looking forward to what’s next.

[@makamakalena3464]

Awesome install Braddah Chad. Everything looks great!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@loganbrown2117]

That is my dream setup I’ve always wanted to just go balls to the walls with that sound detonating. Make sure to let us know if it makes the ride any quieter down the road once you get it all put back together! Keep up the precision love watching your videos

[@eriksmith6683]

I have always put hushmat. On inside of the door panel on the outside door skin behind the speaker itself and I have always loved the quite ness of my projects I have done

[@jamesappel8747]

You have a lot of guts to do a project like that, good on you. The radio could have cut out because of the ten minute shut off for accessory power. I been in love with Tuff Stu forever. Your kids are cute as can be.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for watching! Good point on the shut off.

[@GiovaniBalistreri]

Pac audio rp5-gm31 is the correct aftermarket harness you should be using for your model truck when switching to an aftermarket radio. It does all the data communications for the gm lan networks (data communication wires that run through factory radio), has factory accessory for your radio, and retains your door chimes. Highly advise using that harness, especially when doing a clean install like this. Nice work though! Good stuff on finding those accessory wires

[@richeyrich2203]

Do you have a place to go to find the right harness needed for other cars too?

[@mochaleui7814]

Amazing is what it is Hawaiian, love your channel👍🏽 I'm a Chevy person myself. Keep up keeping up braddah. Nice to come across your channel. Blessings🤙🏽

[@LonestarHawaiian]

I’m running the same things radio and speakers in my 14 Sierra. Absolutely love it.

[@nargie167]

That’s the exact Sony head unit I am using and I as well got it from crutch field it works awesome

[@Todd_S]

Crutchfield rocks!

[@hardflip9001]

Love the interior work! Makes me want to redo my 08 LTZ. One question on the radio though, why didn’t you want to wire it up so it stays on for the 10 minutes or so after the key is turned off?

[@Overpar73]

So happy for you now that it's almost completely done. I bet your super pumped with the final results! Take care and I'm looking forward to the future ZL1 upgrades?

[@SG-bb8pq]

Thank you for posting this. I threw a bunch of walmart Sony Guts in mine haha..not bad.

[@krystaldelacruz2010]

Nice work man That truck deserves better speakers 😥 In my truck I install a set of image dynamics speaker components in the front and coaxials on the rear Love it

[@LonestarHawaiian]

I'll take a look. Thanks for watching and for the recommendation!

[@jonasschwarz2489]

Not sure if you can but something I would look into is installing a backup camera. You have it all pulled apart so now would be a good time to do it. If this sony head unit is capable of running a back up camera I would like to know. Thanks and awesome videos love your channel!!!

[@daltonlanglois4179]

Theres actually an adapter to make aftermarket door speakers fit properly! That's definitely good to know lol. I got 2 self tappers holding mine in rn 😅

[@ryanmcquillen7314]

Going to need to extend to reach it, but i hooked into the powered mirror for my accessory power for my radar detector on my 08 silverado! Goodluck!

[@KB-wq5bb]

If you install sound damping mat on inside of door with the fast rings for door speakers it will make a dramatic difference.

[@danielkwiatkowski4489]

I didn’t see if you did, but you should put a piece on the exterior sheet metal. You do not have to cover the whole thing, but a piece right in the center of that door panel will stop a lot of vibration and sound.

[@comxl751]

That’s pretty cool man

[@229ihateyou]

Now you just need to get rid of those baby trucks and get you a dirtymax!

Any suggestions on where to get the module for this particular head unit

[@jacksoncole5606]

Had that issue with the accessory wire and I used the clock wire on a second gen Tacoma!

[@davidacosta4765]

It’s been a while I haven’t seen your videos didn’t know you moved to Texas wow !!

[@bott3lrock3t37]

Hey so I’ve been rewatching this video trying to learn from you, and I have so thank you for that! But I have a question, do you noticed the heat staying out of the truck or does the truck get hotter now that you have the sound treatment on?

[@robles-jw3xh]

Nice build but yea I'd run a separate amp to power that sub. That built in amp is just enough to power your mids. Not the sub you'll notice a big difference running a separate amp

[@christinedavenport7761]

The sounds great. How long did it take you to do the whole interior project? Do we get see a final shot with everything put pack together?

[@Todd_S]

Did you get the iDatalink Maestro Rr to intracellular the radio with the truck. It's highly recommended. Also, ground the parking brake wire from the radio so you can play video anytime.

[@jas3118325]

I have the same head unit in my 07 with JL speakers. I found with mine that with high volume it would shutdown. Ran power and ground direct to head unit. Same issue. I found that with the pac31 interface for onstar you have to bypass speakers wires and run them direct to the speakers. The interface can’t handle the power.

[@jadenpetersen8292]

Hey there! Just a pointer for you in the future or your subs, but for an extra $20 bucks Crutchfeild will make a plug and play wiring harness and it makes everything so much easier and it is 100% worth it, if you sell the truck and want to keep your radio the stock will still hook up.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for the tip!

[@italianhillbilly1978]

Before you put the seats in .... get rid of the jump seat and build a custom center console? Thank you for the content great job as always

[@shawnmcclure7282]

I have a 2011 extended cab like yours and one thing i really wanna do is take dash out and completely wrap to be like the newer trucks with padded vinyl or w.e it is.

[@michaeldahl2482]

Throw a 500 watt- 100 watt amp and a simple 4 gauge-8 gauge wiring kit on it. Your sub will burn out so much quicker as it sits right now. Also if you wanna get extra, you can throw a amp on your door speakers and make them even sound better

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Pac rp5 gm31 is what ya need to retain steering controls. Gives you acc and navigation outputs.

[@upnorthlivin814]

Just bought a truck 02 Silverado gotta replace the front left speaker so I’m changing both of the fronts ofc but I also wanna change the head unit but idk what to do on a budget

[@dannyneal9713]

Any thoughts about color changing the headliner ?

[@quyenbui2263]

The acc switch is by the gas pedal .... you can tap the wire there so when you shut the truck off it can stay on until you open the driver door its late and i hope i explain it well enough lol

[@vader2390]

Do you still have those morimoto headlights because I would love to buy those off of you. I have an 07 silverado and is in need of a major headlight upgrade

[@antoniostark5511]

I have an LS, same as you. Will be doing the radio upgrade as well. Been looking at the modern Sony xav-ax7000. Wish you had the steering wheel controller, wondering if I'm gonna lose that trying to upgrade.

[@mjones6115mj]

Did you connect the yellow wire from the head unit wire harness, straight to the battery with a in line fuse?

[@douglasbrandt7766]

Very cool

[@tyg5265]

I have a question. I'm getting ready to replace the speakers in my 2008 Silverado. While I have the doors pulled apart I going to throw on some killmat. Did you replace the factory vapor barrier once you were done?

[@Iamcamcam1]

Hey bud! Nice job on installing the sound deadening materials! I was watching closely on when you hooked up the amp, I noticed that you didn’t install a fuse from the battery to the amp. Probably should take a look at that….. and installing the correct gauge wire to the amp is also important as well. Crutchfield is an excellent source to help with that. Other than that, nice job!😊🍻👍

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for the tips!

Bit late to the party but to find an accessory on power source theirs a blank pin on the bcm distribution block by your left foot under the cover that you can put a spade connector on which is where I ran mine from

[@victorayala3183]

How much matting did you use? Car Play has to be connected via USB right? If so is there a way to run a USB through the back and up through the center console to avoid a wire hanging out the front of the unit?

[@mwb6772]

I'm interested in the sound reduction. Did you get to measure dicibels before and after in the truch driving down the road? Thanks

[@patrolman812]

Did you consider adding a backup camera to it while it's apart

[@Davidgarcia-ns6kl]

I hooked my acc wire to the misc Ignition fuse under the hood but will probably relocate it.

[@wilcerlora623]

Do you need an adapter to fit the new kicker speaker or do you need to modify the original one?

[@cgrenesh]

Great Video! i Would like to know, if you are still using this set up in your vehicle? I recently bought this stereo for my hatch back. I have two 8 inch rockford fosgate p2d2 subs with 250w rms and S Skar 6.5 mid ranges and polk db 1001 tweeters on my both front and rear doors. I would like to know, if this set up works with the stereo using direct connection method? Also did you use any fuse block when drawing power from the battery direct to the stereo? Do let me know your thoughts? Thanks

[@charras0]

did you connect the chime for when you open de doors and the turning signals are on?

[@myalterego1117]

What did you do with the two vents on the rear side of the cab? Did you leave them or put mat over them??

[@brianhoopai7653]

Cheerayy outcome braddah🤙🏾, by da way do u sale any merch on shirts and stuff?

[@fukyu3739]

Next time use an Idata link interface and replace that Sony with a Kenwood, top it off with the proper gm harness kit and it's plug and play once you solder the harness kit to the head unit wires. No need to run extra power wires. Pro tip if you use Kenwood, you don't have to deal with the pesky vss (green wire) if you have DVD. My kids can watch movies while in motion.

[@spongebobbies]

Question: how did you connect all speakers to the radio, 100x4 you have 5 speakers?

[@_nava_323_]

[@Nirvanaib]

Nice job but you needed to dynamat behind the speaker (the backside of the actual door skin). You did the outer rigid part, not the part that vibrates. 👍🏻
