Aidenmoreno3 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 What up guys! Been fixing up my Comanche the past few weeks and realized I haven’t posted anything. Unfortunately I don’t have any before pics but I got my truck with some blown out speakers (4) by pioneer. I gutted all the old wires and speakers from 1812, went out and bought a nice kicker system. I got 2 6.5” coaxial door speakers that are coming in the mail and I bolted up the 6x9 rear speakers to some pre made boxes the truck already had. The hardest part though was making that rear carpeted piece that goes on the back wall. You know, that one😂. But I used cad (cardboard assisted design) and I traced out the shape onto some plywood, cut it, and covered it in neoprene from joannes. That’s what I ended up bolting the amp to. I used some little brackets that came with the speakers to secure it to the floor since only the top was sturdy from the trim. Here’s what it looks like!! If anyone needs help with sound system projects or making that rear panel let me know! I’m no expert but I wanna do my part in this forum and help out however I can.

Guy before me installed it. Nothing special. It does have Bluetooth and a mic option so that’s nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpine is all i ever run, i like my sounds man I'm a 80 child lol👍 i have a super rare CDA-D855 in my XJ and i have a bunch of Alpine head units ive collected over the years. i want to run a 8" bazooka tube in my comanche, i gotta get my seats in it to see if it will fit behind one of the seats though, otherwise i may do some 6 x9 boxes like yours. are yours vented or sealed?

They're sealed up. I feel you as I'm gonna be running buckets here pretty soon and am concerned about the placement of my speakers. good transition though if you have buckets do you know where i can buy some comanche bucket seat brackets?? I'm a $#!&e welder so making them probably isn't in the cards lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
