'Mater - '77 Cherokee S 4-door

That picture reminds me, I need to get up there! Nothing like Michigan in the Spring..... Summer..... and Fall. :bacon::bacon: :bow: Winter stinks though.

You probably should remove the no parking sign from "Mater's" roof rack before some smart a$$ tries to park up there.
 
Stop posting all those Waggy posing by the lake porn. Your not helping my sickness one bit! ;)
Looking good BW!

Awesome pics indeed! Water, future camping, recycling runs... Wait , did we recycle in the 70s? :eek: He's living the same dream as these folks ;)
 
"Wait , did we recycle in the 70s? "

Not so much...we just built stuff to last a lot longer. :)
 
Looks like Mater's going to get some THUMP :bacon:

Working out how to connect with this guy to get everything pictured plus hook up wiring for $125 :woot:

For this price, I can leave it sit in there without worrying too much about it. I have a decent set of 6x9's in boxes sitting in the garage that will pair up nicely with these as well as an assortment of smaller speakers that might work to swap in the doors.

I had a setup in my old Contour that I really liked where the wiring to the sub had a disconnect in it so I could pull it in 5 seconds if I needed more cargo space. I'm thinking the same thing here, but with the amp pulling out with the sub.

Mount the amp to the sub so it can pull right out and maybe even bolt the 6x9s to the side of the sub and make all of it pull out with one or two plugs. I'm not the least bit worried with proper sound stage or anything in Mater, so simplicity and ease of removal/maximum utility are key.

I love CL. I'll either take wiring to connect the deck to my battery or bring a battery with me to test it out. Have enough random speaker wire that I can probably connect the sub/amp too in just a couple minutes... :fingerscrossed:
 
Score!

Here's what I'm seeing for Mater's new stereo setup. The amp will easily mount on the box, 6x9s on the side (they'll angle up to match the face of the sub when I bolt them on, a power/remote plug and the RCA cables and it will all pull out in seconds!

Also realized that I'm not using the rear outputs or sub out in the Postal, so for another RCA cable and some wiring time, I could swap this over into it too in the back! Double score!

Oh, he didn't have the Kenwood wiring harness (left in the car that was totaled that he pulled this out of two months after installing it last year) so I couldn't test it out. I used that to talk him down to an even c-note :bacon:

Bah, squid launchers aren't sufficient. Mater releases the KRACKEN.
 
Got the wiring harness for the deck and checked everything out, all good.

Got the box/amp/speaker setup together and wired.

Might pull the radio tonight if I can find enough will to keep at it.

Aren't you afraid all that speakerage will drown out that sweet AMC V8 burble?
Nice plate, BTW.

That's the fun part, when I want burble, I have burble. When I wants the thumpage, I gots me some serious thumpage :headbang:

Got all the stereo stuff done LATE last night, took a ride this morning and ran out of gas :banghead: At least it wasn't a long walk home. :shrug: Mental note: empty is a good ways from E.
