does anyone have any advice before i tear apart my 08 ext cab silverado. i knew my classic backward and forward but i cant find a thing about the nbs. anybody know the location of the screws for door panels, any clips i need to watch out so i dont break them.

 

For the door, there is a screw underneath the door handle, and I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head but there may or may not be one in the pocket. You gotta pop off the panel near the sail panel, pop off the panel where the window and door switches are. Theres some bolts in there. It's pretty simple once you get in there. Mine came off pretty easy, so if you have resistance you missed something or your hanging up on something. I lifted up to get the panel off.

HTH

 

Wo-oo wo-oo oh............

Sorry. Also remember that the panels have never been taken off before and, particularly on the dash, they may be a little stubborn coming off for the first time. Thats not to say force it but just be patient so you dont add new panels to the cost of the install. Good luck.

What are you installing by the way?

 

alpine head unit(http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500CDA9...4.html?tp=5684) alpine type r components(http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SPR1...7S.html?tp=106) same in the rear, 2 rockford fosgate p1 10's(http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575P2D2...10.html?tp=111) and a jl audio mono(http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136G130...00.html?tp=115). i spent last sunday building 2 custom boxes to house the 10's downfired under the back seat. doing the entire install myself. you wouldn't believe the money you save doing this all yourself. i saved 150 building the boxes, 250 buying the stereo through crutchfield, and saved over 300 installing myself! i would strongly suggest it. i will keep yall updated with pics soon

 

Yep you can pull together some great systems with some time and patience.
I have about $300 into my head unit, amp, kicker cvr 10's, and a home made box.

cant wait to see some pics

 

a little teaser for you guys. all my stuff came in yesterday and im planning on jumping head first into it friday.

 

You bought two comp sets? lol

looks good though, whats the sub? shallow rf?

 

no only one component set, i bought the type r components for the front doors and the cheaper type s 2 ways for the rear door. from what i have heard, you can completely omit the back door speakers and never tell they are gone so, i just did a small upgrade over stock. installed the head unit this morning and already it sounds so much better then stock. installing the rest tomorrow, all speakers, including the 2 rockford punch 10's and my alpine 500w mono. i should sound amazing.
