Default 06 Z06 full install

Here is an install I did for a buddy of mine. Big thanks to Audio Dave for the tutorial on the headunit install, def saved me a bunch of time, that I didnt have to spare. Lets get started shall we.

Here is an install I did last weekend in a 2006 Chevy Z06. I hope you guys like it.





you have to take out the entire center console and center dash to swap headunits out in this car. PITA!





Pioneer Avic-Z1, the baddest Headunit I have ever played with. It has everything! I also did an ipod adapter, the plug is located in the glove box.

Front door had an 8 in the bottom, and 3.5's in the upper, but we are doing Kicker SS 6.5 comps.



Had to make some plates.

Did Kicker SS 5.25 Comps in the rear.



Now for the good stuff! The box and amp rack. a pair of L7 10's sealed .925 per sub, with a kicker zx1500.1 and zx450.2.



Jigging up my trim panel. Made this an all one peice, as much as it sucked b/c of all the curves and having to be perfect around the subs and for the amps, but well worth it in the end for a clean look.



Finish wiring the amps, and wired and mounted the red neons. Kicker SS crossovers are monted to a board underneath the amp rack.



Where'd the subs go!?

And now for the finished pics. The only thing I have left to do, is move the amps around just a little forward, so you dont see the MDF.The amps are just sitting there and arent screwed down. I just wanted to get some pics takin.











Ok guys thats it. I hope you like it.

I honestly cant believe how good the Kicker SS components sound, Im amazed, one of the best sounding comps I have heard, and I have been installing for about 9 years. I compete in db drag and Iasca's spl divisions, and Im actually gonna take out my 8 sets of Kicker RS 652's, and put the SS's in place of them, b/c I was so impressed.
