RedThunder1996's 1996 Chevrolet Suburban


Inside this truck is the Alpine IDA-X001 Head unit, two Alpine F-450 multi channel amps, one Alpine Digital PDX 1.1000 mono amp, two Alpine 12" 4 ohm dual voicecoil R series subs, Stinger HPM Series 1/0 gauge & 4 gauge power wire and new grounding cables replace all of the tiny factory power and grounding cables,a Stinger distribution block, (4) 6.5" Alpine type R component speakers for the front and back doors (Alpine SPr-17s), and 2 coaxial 5" 2 way speakers for the cargo area (Alpine). A 6 farad cap willprovide the extra draw to assist the amps. Two Optima red top batterries under the hood, and one Blue top marine battery inside the fiberglass chevy emblem speakerbox. A stinger solenoid seperates the three batteries when the ignition is off. And a tricked out cigarette lighter powers up the blue top only with the vehicle completely off so I can crank the tunes without draining the two red tops for engine startup. Joey Gomes @ Best Buy installed all of the above listed and fabricated a custom fiberglass box for the subs and amps.
Here are the pics....At the bottom, A very clean 1800 watts RMS!

Audio components:

Alpine Head Unit IDA-X001

(2) Alpine F-450 multi channel amps  bridged providing 200 watts RMS to ea. of the Alpine SPR-17s 6.5" components in all four doors.

Alpine PDX 1.1000 digital mono 1000 watt RMS Powering (2) Alpine 12" Type-R Dual voice coil Subs.

This Beast is a 1996 Chevy Suburban K2500 3/4 ton with a 7.4 Liter 454 vortec engine. Mildly messaged with a Airraid Cold air intake, Hypertech power programmer III, Spiral taylor pro spark plugs, JBA Stainless Headers, Dual 40 series Flowmaster mufflers (And not that Delta Flow crap either), Silverstar stainless tip,Dual Optima Red top Starter Batteries under the hood/ with a Optima Blue top Marine deep cycle in the cargo area for the sound system, and 0 gauge wiring throughout the entire truck (Starting at the Alternator going through to the dual batteries, grounding cables, and back to the stereo battery.). The outside of the vehicle Has been considerably modified starting at the top with a custom made 100% Aluminum Roof rack that only weighs 63 lbs. It is 9.5' long and 48" wide. Aaron Cooper of "Cooper Fabrication" in Post Falls Idaho fabbed this rack for me with my design and his modifications to include a 60" red Highlift Jack that is securely mounted with only a single bolt and does not rattle at all. he also fabbed up a light bar across the front which houses the (4) 150 watt stainless KC offroad lights which produce over a million candlepower without the worry of rust. Four tabs provide easy mounting to the factory roof rack with four grade 5 bolts. The side mirrors have been painted victory red along with the Reflexxion Ram Air Cowl hood to give the truck a more subtle appearance. The front bumper has been powdercoated and shortened/ cut to provide the bushwacker cutout flares more room for the big meats. Mounted to the front bumper is a Procomp Prerunner light bar with (2) stainless Procomp 150 watt offroad rustproof lights. All light covers and Bushwacker Cutout Fender Flares have been coated with a spray on bedliner with a shiny topcoat for a more durable look and to prevent fading and cracking. The nerf bars are by Smittybuilt and bought from SummitRacing.com and were mounted in the 2wd format so as to provide more drop for entering and exiting the vehicle. The rear tails are APC 2nd gen euro tails and allow dissipation of the taillight heat so as not to melt the lenses like the first gens do. The Big 37"x13" meats are currently Toyo MT's and are mounted on chrome KAOTIC 18"x10's. Previously I ran 38x16" Super Swamper Radials and loved them but had to switch due to code violations. The lift is accomplished by a Superlift 7" suspension lift, 2" lift shackles, 3" Performance Body Lift, and slight tweeking of the torsion bars.Rubber "Lift Lips" cover the gaps created by the body lift. I will be adding the Q-max torsion lift soon. Polyeurothane end links help keep things under control, and skyjacker stainless braided brake lines keep the pressure up so the Hydroboost braking system can stop the 8000+ lb hulk of American Muscle. A custom steel bulletproof skid plate replaces that panzy plastic piece shipped from the factory. The custom skidplate was fabbed and powdercoated by "Rick"-Owner of Q&S Powdercoating and custom Fab in Hayden Idaho. The red powdercoated skidplate tow hooks and rear factory diff cover were accented by the Stainless tribal silhouette chevy logo emblem bought from Styllin Concepts. The logo was securely attached to the center of the skidplate with a 3M two way adhesive tape that comes already installed on the logo. Under the body rests a Programmable Multi-Million Color LED Kit suited to show off at truck shows and Impress the wife who made this all possible. Thanks Honey!

See that smile...I'm lucky I got her home from Vegas!

The interior has been completely re-done starting with two bulk packs of Dynamat Extreme, a new black Performance Carpet Kit, Coverking Neoprene red and black custom Seat Covers with dash cover and matching floor carpets for all three rows from Costco.com . Coming soon will be a Phantom Billet grille to replace the currently cracked factory & Billet inserts grille. The new phantom grille will cover the current clear corners and diamond clear turn signals. The current Sylvania sylverstar Hyperwhite bulbs will be needing new headlight housings soon too. The Factory 4.10 gears will also be upgraded to 4.88 gears as well.

Inside this fiberglass sub box and amp rack sits an Optima marine Blue Top, A 6 Farad Capacitor with neons, and for safety reasons a 250 Amp Stinger fuse coupled with a 250 Amp Stinger Solenoid provide piece of mind. 60'+ Of Stinger 0 gauge with over 20 Stinger 0 Gauge terminlas, Stinger twisted 14 gauge speaker cables for the components, and 8 gauge Stinger speaker cables for the subs help run the extreme power to where it needs to go, while the Stinger extra long component connects (3 pairs of 24' RCA's) provide clean signals to the very efficient ALpine Amps. Joey Gomes hid all of this serious hardware without any protruding wires making for one very clean install.

Alpine SPR-17s 6.5" Components- mids/ woofers, tweets, and crossovers are all hidden in factory locations in all four doors. (Except the tweeters shown in the rear doors, there were no rear factory tweets so Joey had to make it work.)

Alpine IDA X-001 is the brains for the whole system. An Ipod, and a Sirius hide away receiver provide input for the multimedia Head Unit.
