briankmizell's 1989 B2200
Pioneer CD and Pioneer XM Tuner installed.
Night view of instrument cluster & radio.
Some of the things I plan on installing in the truck.
An idea I had for an enclosure for my JL Audio 15W3v2-D2
Spec sheet for the enclosure.
Construction of the Subwoofer enclosure
Now ready for fleece and resin.
First I should test fit in the truck before I go any further.
Fleece & resin applied
Body filler applied and sanded.
Pod's for door speakers.
Hole cut for speaker. The piece that I removed.
Base for 6x9" door speaker.
Before fleece.
Peek at what the speaker looks like in it.
Door pods with fleece & resin applied.
The left and right sides have the speaker located at different angles.
I did this so the sound is directed towards my ears. Since I will be the only one in the truck for the most part, I figured I might as well angle the speakers towards me.

Sanded and ready for leather
I had to modify the kick panels.
It seems that JL Audio has changed their opinion about the placement of tweeters. Ten years ago when I bought the tweeters they told me that I could place the tweeter up to 18" away from the midrange.
I went to their web site and it says that the tweeter should not be placed more than 4" away from the midrange. So here are some pictures with the tweeter added to the kick panel.
Project slows down
I have to cut the hump out of the back of the cab to make room for the subwoofer enclosure. When I built the box I thought the mounting depth of the woofer was 7" it turns out it was 8 1/4". So to make the speaker fit in the box I added the rings as spacers. Now my seat is too far forwards for a short fat old man to sit that close to the steering wheel.
Cutting the hump out of the back of the cab will give me approximately 3" more space to move the seats back.
