I've only had my car for 3 months and since I picked it up, I've been returning my 2002 Camaro SS back to stock to sell it among other things and finally got that taken care of. Now, I've just started getting to the things that bug me about this car. First was the hard-wiring of the Valentine 1 radar detector...
Second was to fix the crappy rear view mirror that's peeling in the corners and beginning to get discolored. Enter: Gentex 40A auto dimming mirror with Homelink.
Also, had a Raptor shift light left over from my Camaro and decided to do a little stealth install.
Now you see it...
Now you don't.
Also, while I was at it, I relocated my PCM from the engine bay to the driver side kick panel. This made hooking the shift light to the tach signal a walk in the park.
Here's a pic of the wiring to help some out that might need a reference.
That's 3 switched power:
One Mirror (red)
One Radar (red)
One Shift Light (red)
And 1 constant power:
One - Homelink (yellow)
**Note: each power wire is individually fused**
Next up, the serious stuff. I have 150sq ft of Rattle Trap sound deadener on my work bench and 150sq ft of Ensolite on its way as well as the following for my stereo install:
Pioneer AVH-P8400BH
Focal Polyglass 6.5's for the rear deck
Focal Focal PS 165 6.5's of the doors and tweets for the dash pods
Team SCSS Double Din Install Kit
The second phase (when my spare car funds replenish themselves) will be the following:
JL 300/4v3 Black Amplified (75 x 4 @1.5 - 4ohm)
JL 600/1v3 Black Amplified (600 x 1 @1.5 - 4ohm)
Critical Mass 10" Subwoofer - SS102
Also...working on a dual MDF/Fiberglass sub box for the side panels. Here's the first whack at a template last night. I'm sure I'll be tweaking it here and there to fit the best I can get it. I have pretty decent woodworking skills and have built probably around 20 different boxes for different cars in the past few years. This is just a starting point based off of some measurements I've gotten from here and there. The goal is to take up as much area in the cubby hole as possible. That's why I'm putting the Polys in the rear deck. I'll be mounting my amps behind the trunk carpet where the factory amp is mounted.
Oh and thanks USPS. :secret:
Just figured I would throw up a few pictures that may help people out. Also going to be updated the thread when i install all of the deadener and get the stereo install and boxes wrapped up. I'll be making a few real templates when I get the fitment right this weekend.
