Thread: 98 F150 10.4 in-dash and misc.....

The location of the stereo was to far off, and it didn't flow right. The truck is a 5 speed manual, so the stick is in the way. Here is my new idea:


Here it is with a little black primer:



With the guard dog Max

I still need to cut out a place for the a/c controls under the lcd (where the stereo used to be) I am going finish fiber glassing the whole thing, sand, primer, base coat, black paint, clear, color sand and buff.

Here are some misc pics of the truck under construction:
Dash before w/ some cuts already

Dash after

Dome light w/ silver paint and a 3" blue neon light

Custom lcd in the visor, covered in black suede

JL 13w7

The 13W7 is powered by a MTX 81000D amp 1500 watts rms, 3000 max. The polks are powered by a 250 watt amp. Can't remember the name. I am currently saving for a Mcintosh amp! All of this is controled by a alpine phantom face CDA-7998. There is a dvd player built into the center seat and a playstation one in the center console. By-the-way the seats are custom buckets.

Here are some start pics of the door panels with 6.5 polk momo's, custom auto windows w/ switches:



Still needs alot of work! I will scrap the idea if i get my hands on some 98 navigator door panels!!!

Here are some before pics:
The door w/ silver paint, autoloc windows kits and polk speakers

The dash w/ 5.6 lcd fixed in, and my old alpine. The a/c controls are under the steering wheel.(so only I can touch, don't ask)

The back seats w/ 4 MTX 8000 series 10" subs.

The dog again

is the dog voice controlled? or does it need a remote?

100% voice controlled! She doesn't even bark or makes a sound. you won't even know what hit you.

Everything needs to be finished! Dash and all plastic parts need to be glassed and painted black. This is just the being of a long project. The 13w7 ported box is coming out for a custom sealed box w/ 2 seats in the back. the visors will hold a 7" wide screen each. the dome light is being painted black and the neon light is coming out for some blue leds. A center channel speaker custom moled into the dash. carputer mounted under the center front seat. Also want to mount a hotswap drive in the glove box for the video and music storage. I need a alpine 5.1 processor unit for the sound. I do not want to get rid of my deck! I am currently looking for mcintosh amps for front and rear. And even some focal utopia 3-ways w/ the silk dome tweeter option. I could really go on forever! But need to finish what i have right now.
