Ok, I'll give a pic, before anyone asks, we don't have pricing or specs on them yet, all I can say is they will be a 1500wRMS range driver. We don't even have a date range on when they will be available. They will be in 12" 15" & 18" versions though. Black baskets, and some cosmetic changes will be made.

***15" Version pictured.

Got most of the deadening done today. Burned through a huge box of it. Thanks to Second Skin Audio for such a fine product! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

Ok, since the roof was the worst part of this blazer, we put 4 layers on that bad boy and let me tell you, it's solid now. I hope those 18's don't rip this apart. On to the pics.

We ended up using expanding foam between the cross bars and the roof for added rigidity.

update...

Well going into this build we knew that there where two huge main concerns with the "prep" work.

1. Make that roof solid

2. Get rid of all the rattles that have plagued that poor blazer (GM's poor design)

So, after 4 layers deep on the roof I feel confident that we solved that problem but the squeaks and rattles where a whole new issue now that we got to put the truck back together. Since we didn't get to the doors yet deadener wise (ran out) I thought i'd run down to the fabric store and pick up all new fasteners for the doors since those cause alot of the squeaks.

Added all new fasteners to the doors, carefully assemblied the rest of the truck back to it's original self and isolated only two rattles left which I feel confident we can fix tomorrow with some double sided sticky tape. Here's a few pics of the truck back together...then it's on to the box and the rest of the system...anyways, here's a few pics.

ok, updates are in. Got a brace between the woofers mounted in today, after the double baffle goes on should be plenty sturdy enough. Tomorrow, i'll put on the baffle and cut out the holes, paint the port etc...anyways, on to the pics.
