I had to completely rewire the head unit I had installed at a best buy. [:@]

 

That's why I buy on ebay and wire everything in myself. I'm an electrician by trade so it's no biggy.

 

Best Buy that i work at is pretty good. These ones your talking about sound like f-ing retards.. If you can wire a harness then you def dont need to be in car audio at all.. all it requires to do a harness is to not be color blind.. how hard is that.

I do all my own installs, and some on the side, including the ones at best buy.

I did a job for some kid that came in and said he only had so much to spend, so instead of having BB do it i did it myself and made about 80 bucks.. so it wasnt that bad. SC Chev 1500 2x 10type e and a 600wat amp.

 

Try around Rockford/Belvedere area. With the DC plant in Belvedere, theres usually a ton if used dakotas. Just avoid Speedway Auto Mall. Waaaayyyyy overpriced.

 

I actually live in Rockford. There are a ton of Daks but I'm dead set on a manual tranny which are few and far between.

 

i fit 2 8" kicker cvr dual 4ohm voice coil in a custom box. they are pushed by a lanzar 800W max 2ch (briged) amp. i used 5/8 plywood and even made the cuts for the vents in the back. it works great because it allows for air flow around the amp. couldn't have worked out better. the box is bolted to the cab using stock bolt mounts. the 8's are great, they actually sound like 10's.

i wish i could have put 10's in there just because they are 10's but being 6'2" i need my leg space. i suppose if your leg space isn't an issue you could fit 'em there with no problem.

 

here they are

I'm just up the I from ya across the border. I got my dakota in Fort Atkinson at teh Ford dealer. Have ya tried looking around Madison, Beloit, Janesville? Number of dealers up there to browse.

 

I fit an MTX amp... cant remember the series, under my pass. seat and I got a Kicker Solobaric 12' to fit. Takes up a lot of leg room, but itsounds good.

I just made my own small box. It's got about .6-.8 cubic feet of air. I put it behind the passengers seat. There was a jack holder there but i took a hammar and smashed it down. lol.
