First off Thanks for the shout-out!!!! Makes me very happy to be able to help someone out. Second, that the white interior gave you your own custom color, Looks very sick!!!!! Third, get that bad-boy wired up and blow that hatch!!!!

I always thought it was Keep It Simple Stupid, More to come...

This is the only link in the forum that I found that referenced the Liquid types of deadener: Possibly we could get some feedback from some others on this type of product.

Awesome!!!! Excellent work!!!! I'm sure they will look great when you spend the time in the spring to finish them up!!

to SSA!!!!

I feel Duran has been modin' for a while now, he just received the title. Thanks Duran!!

Dash is out and the modding wheels are turning. Have to fit the Autometer package in the factory spot, but should not be a problem. Here are some pics. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 At 205197 the old 4.3 did a good job. Now it's time to turn back the odometer to 0 and have a little more power!! By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Our project this week is to take this space below and fit the Autometer package into it. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 These are the guages going in the above space. By grasshoper at 2010-11-07

Me too, I'd love to hear that Yukon!!

Check out this thread, I beleive page 6 has a few picks that may help:

Yes the ECM is long forgoten...all circuits previously powered by ECM are now stand-alone. We have not started testing on all the circuits as of yet but will just shortly. Don't forsee any problems but with all the things that have been changed we know we will have to check everything completely to verify. Yes we are doing a complete Autometer gauge package. Have some pics of the start of this just trying to get Imageshack to cooperate. Grasshopper is working on getting a new plate to incorperate the guages into that can be modded into the dash. Hopefully we can get this under control by the end of this week. '72 Blazer would be a really cool project!!!

Great pics guys!!!! Thanks!!

Thanks!!! To many circuits controlled by the computer to list: MAP, TPS, temp for comp., factory trans speed, neutral safety switch, 02 sensors(4X), all the fuel injection circuits, etc. As far as relays we needed a relay for the fuel pump since it was origanally turned on by the computer. Second we needed a relay to turn the positive A/C signal into a negative signal to trigger the factory relay for A/C clutch I thought it would be a good idea to use relays to trigger the new fan control module power and the carb. choke coil. That makes the 4 now mounted on the firewall.

I agree x2. Awesome build, I'm going to use the perfection here and transfer it to my 04 cavvy. And hopefully do some sort of father/son project won't be near as nice because neither of us have any experience doing installs, but I am going to gleen as much knowledge from the ssa forums and people like you to help with my build. Thanks for all the great detail, time, and elbow greese! Thanks so much for the kudos!!! I think it's great you & your Dad want to do a build together, just try your best to lay out a plan and then execute with patience. You guys are not that far a away from us, if you need some type of help let us know maybe we can get together. Yeah, sure I'd love to meet-up and see some nicer builds. I've never been able to see an actual system installed and it'd be great to see yours. My build wont be near as nice as your's but I would like a 1/2 decent build. Something to take with me to college and pop the trunk and not be ashamed. Shoot me a PM and we can sort out a time, gonna be tight for me between now and Christmas, family stuff and all. We can make something happen though!!!

We feel that it has turned out well so far, of course it's easy to say that when we havn't put any power to it yet, that will be the real test along with checking each of the circuits. Yes having the different branches of the harness in the right spot was a challenging part of the harness. Grasshopper made sure my electrical supplies were well stocked going into this project. He has commented on the fact of having the right supplies and tools available can make or break you on an install.I Strain reliefs, must have had a senior moment, I do remember that tip in your thread.

I know I'll be happy with mine!!!!

Now it's time to get the relays setup for the few circuits that need modded since there is not a computer to control 2 of the circuits plus the addition of 2 circuits. Quick diagram for the relays. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Relay pack. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Relays harnessed up and ready. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Harness is in place under the hood and here is were the relays will go. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 A little fun while getting the realys mounted. Gotta make sure the are straight. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Various pictures of the wring around the engine bay... By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Just a few more connections under the hood to take care of, still lots to do in the dash for the new guage package. Comments, questions or whatever is on your mind post it up. We understand this is not an audio install at this point, but we do want to hear your comments on this phase of the project. Thanks, and stay tuned!

Qucik prep for the beginning of phase 2 of this project. Installing the 1/0 grommet in the firewall. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-06 I know this is something simple but is part of the install that I don't recall seeing in any of the builds I've looked at so far.(of coarse I may have missed a few along the way)

Time for some updates...It seems this build is really dragging, but when you are completely rebuilding the wiring harness and redesigning the drivetrain it takes as long as it takes especially when you are trying to go the extra mile to make sure it is done right. So on to the updates. If there seems to be to many pics of wiring to bad just passing along how much has been done and the pics don't show the half of it. On to the pics... Various shots along the way... By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Figuring circuits and location of were they need to be. By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 Grounding circuits have been relocated and lengths adjusted... By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 This is the overall harness built other than connecting the few circuits for the relays and the new guages that will be installed in the dash By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 By grasshoper at 2010-11-05 That's the end of actually building the harness, next we will get to installing it under the hood.

The Icon really blows me away on how it performs. The accuracy of this driver is amazing and it kills the lows. I don't think I have heard a better driver in the (or near the) price range. Two thumbs waaaaaayy up for SSA. It definitely does more than I expected. I have had a few different setups in the Durango. This is definitely the best sounding setup and the bass output is very nice. The only thing I may change is sub and port location. I will build a few different boxes to see which sound the best. I love it. GREAT!!!! That's good to hear, well for you!!

Looks very nice!!! Very clean setup!! Does it do what you were expecting??

Very Sexy!!! Can't wait to see the results of this creation!!

I agree x2. Awesome build, I'm going to use the perfection here and transfer it to my 04 cavvy.
