Talking So a lil interior, sound upgrade

For some of ya, you might say why go back to manual. I put these in when I first bought the truck, they have served well, but are just getting old and tired. So I said F it, picked up some billet cranks. Should go well with the interior. I don't mind rolling the windows up and down manually, needed a change. Waiting for them to get here. Also decided to upgrade my co ax kappas to a set of kappa components, which are on the way aswell, while I was thinking that I opt to get a new Pioneer dvd/stereo. So kappa mids, highs, kicker sub, Pioneer amp, HU. Kinda anxious to see how well the components sound over the co ax's. Plan to mount the tweets in the holes where the power window buttons currently are. I think it should work out nice.

The nnbs swaps are pretty painless if you buy the right stuff. I put a JVC DVD unit in mine last month and also bought the onstar/ chime box and the steering wheel control box. Took bout 45 minutes to swap once I figured out the wiring schematics. I did have to make one call the company about the steering control about one question but they were very helpful.

Ya I just need to tear into it. I miss the days of my old 02 Silverado. I could install a new radio while driving it was so easy in those years..

the components will way outshine the coax....
use double sided tape, play with different locations when they are hooked up...then install. Everyone has different taste on staging.

I am kinda out on where they can go, as I have holes cut where the wires for the controls go.

What power window kit did you have on there, and would you recommend it? I read the part about the motors getting tired.

Who makes those cranks? Also, post up what you think of the quality, etc when they arrive. Thanks!
