Have you had any issues with your AMP? I would explain more but I private messaged them about it to resolve the issue.

None so far Schuby. working as advertised and sounds very good.

Your right texan, those wiretap clips are a PITA to squeeze tight (afraid to use pliers due to possible dis figuration) in order to hear it snap. After the 2nd one I just started to look at it to ensure it was clasped together

I was scared to use pliers on the wire taps due to my power strength with a double lever

. I really thought that was my problem after I didn't have sound at first

. . It was the GM fasteners for the panels that gave me the tender fingers

Yes, the clips are kinda a pain, but certainly is the easiest way and will cut your install time way down. Anyone that wants to break out the solder and solder them is more than welcome. On a side note, I have some panel poppers in stock if anyone needs one. This tool is a must if you plan to remove the door panels since GM has gone back to the tree clip style

clips versus the hook on style in the 4th gens.

Thats the reason why I worked the eyelet hole over the button and then removed them with the needle nose pliers used as a wedge. After the sound matting install My finger tips were toast

I'm such a Wussy.....

nice job

OminouSS · 11-22-2009, 12:55 AM

I installed my ******** 2 nights ago. Good writeup. My install took a little longer than expected after a thrown back stopped my progress in hour 3. Total was about 6 hours and I did not do the sound deadening. I had some tight fits with the passenger amp rack using a JL500 Slash. Question for you...Did you have any high pitched screeching problems with your stereo on AM channels? I think the feedback is because of the RCA line converter but I'm not sure.

Gunmetal · 11-22-2009, 07:56 AM

Great write-up. I know I will use it well

No problems what so ever, I would suggest PMing Steve @ ******** he will be able to help you out
