For the work of removing the interior, a painless harness made to run the factory engine management and all the goodies sounds like a good investment. You'll know where and what wire dose when it's done. Alot of folks would love to see this for sure. I know I would. 👍👍

killer air freshener. I never thought I needed a sound system in the c10 until I put one in.

Shoutout for mentioning you're running the door speakers and dash speakers in parallel. Was looking for this info

You know there was a time we ran 6x9 speaker and had a good system. Woofer didn’t come about until the 80s for cars. Nothing better than running highs (tweeters,) and mids properly mounted.

I've had several amplified drivers that were 6x9's hooked up to the amplifier as rear speakers and like 4 X10 pyramid phase 3 gold series speakers supposed to be 300watts a pair out of two sets I used one that lasted.

Reason for your engine noise can be more than a ground. Isolators are ghetto, they are also not solving the problem. First off your RCA or the sends to the amp and your speakers should be separated. Also kept away from power wires. Ya broke the first rule of Mobil audio. RCA is the part of the signal that is the easiest of the bunch to pickup noise.

Also those 3.5 speakers will need a cap put inline of the positive wire. Ya need to filter out all lows from 120hz. down out those little woofers will not last getting a full range signal.

I was getting ready to say although he said he has never installed a radio system like that before,look at the wiring never run the power remote and ground with the speaker wires they should be kept away from each other ran down different sides of the vehicle if possible, because they will generate electrical interference in the system,it is usually electrical feedback, very common on Ford and dodge to begin with,think about if you have ever rode in a older vehicle with the flea market radios and especially the Ford and dodge brands of vehicles and they go to take off and sometimes it is worse if they are running the heater,but it has a interior humming noise that speeds up and slows down with engine rpm, that is the radio interference I was referring to and some GM's do it to they just usually have noise suppression or a noise suppressor device wired in the vehicle wiring somewhere.

Very true I hadn't even gotten to the RCA patch cables yet lol..

100 microfarad non linear capacitors on the + terminals of the "tweeters " will filter out the low base and some of the Mids. They won't last long running straight. Engine noise could be coming through bad ground on antenna lead. And yes, was a "pro " audio installer for many years. Not elite, but know a few things that always work.

Your install was more successful than my first car stereo install.

Maybe the cowl damage is more than on the top.

on my 68 pu i repaired the old harness with another harness i just replace the bad with good till i got it back to stock then did the bypass the right way so u don't damage the stock wirers went from external alt to internal with 2 wire system and can go right to 3 wire or 4 wire or to external with ease this way i can run new alt and old alt because i still have the factory 327 and 400 turbo but i put in a stroked 454 with a 02xx 400 turbo with a 94 serpentine belt set up

If you have inductive noise (i.e. alternator whine), it can be caused by a variety of things: 1. Cheap Chinese headunit. Straight up, I've had more alternator whine caused by crap headunits than anything else and that goes double for Android-based units. The Chinese-made chips in those android headunits are garbage and are notorious for producing a constant hissing noise, whereas the Chinese android units that use an IBM-manufactured chip are fine. A quick Google should get you the info you need. The second issue with Chinese units is that they often have badly-designed circuits for the low-level output, often running voltages as low as 1v, sometimes lower. The lower the voltage of the RCA output, the more easily it can be overpowered by inductive noise or a dirty power line. The reason people have fewer issues with the main brands (Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, etc) is that they run 4+ volts for their low-level signals, often via better circuits using higher quality components. That said, I've had brand-name headunits with alternator whine, which was solved by replacing the headunit with something else. If you can't solve your noise problem, just borrow a cheap Alpine/Kenwood bluetooth headunit with an LCD screen and hook it up. 90% chance it will solve the problem. 2. Bad earth. Create a new, clean earth for the head unit and the amp. 3. Bad wiring path. Run the low-level RCAs away from everything else, and especially ensure that they don't run alongside high power wires. 4. Speaker/RCA wires bound in a loop. Don't run excess audio cable in a loop like a garden hose, zip tie it in an S shape of folds. Loops create a coil and can cause inductive interference. 5. Cheap and badly shielded RCA leads. You don't have to spend a fortune, but the cheaper the price the more likely you are to end up with a dud, due to poor quality assurance. As an FYI, never make the mistake of following KZread "tips" to solve inductive noise that suggest you ground the outside of the RCA lead, because if you do that and you disconnect your amp/headunit's earth with power connected, it will try to earth through the tiny wire in the RCA leads.

Thank you. This helps a lot.

Sounds good, nice clean install for what you had to work with.

I miss your truck bro

Yes sir

Super sick dude! Really like seeing you make progress on stuff like this. For what the system is like you said its not crazy but it sounds badass and probably sounds way better in person. Huge improvement over the stock system they had in the car when it was new.

Kelly Kapowski…….😍

the 3rd wire may be for cruise control (ford put the wires for cruise control in all their cars/trucks back then, so even if you didn’t have cruise from the factory, the wires were still there. i was able to put cruise control in my truck cause of that)

Great work keep it up. Just gave me the motivation to work on my 96 cobra. I don’t have a working stereo as well

I have said I prefer the dash in the first version of the second gen dodge ram trucks but honestly I have to admit like with the early 94 Chevy Silverado I also really like the stock style dash cluster and how it illuminated up in the 2000 dodge ram Laramie slt quad cab long bed 318 5.2 litre magnum v8 46RE AT 1500 4x4..

I have almost a full cerwin Vega hed r stereo setup except the boss radio which I have not installed any of it in my truck and I also like the factory guage setup in the fox and sn95 mustangs as I do in my early 94 Chevy Silverado Z71 extended cab short bed. And I have had vehicles that only have the 3 1/2 inch speakers for front speakers with no door speakers..

Drill a hole and mount the ground to the floor pan or one of the seat bolts that is usually what I do....

run the hi pass crossover on your amp and turn the knob to around at least 100 hz or you will fry the voice coils.

Not sure if you will see this. But I seen a 66 Galaxie on Facebook marketplace in Northridge he’s parting out. It’s a race car . It seems to be all metal work you have already done with yours. Might be a pretty solid pick up if he decides to sell it while. He’s parting it out currently.

There is supposed to be a bracket that mounts to the body above the EEC that holds the relays in the upright position. Nice TAT air freshener BTW.

This is useful asf 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Cleaned up real nice.

Good afternoon Craig hope your day is great

Some of us older guys, like the music of the tail pipes. Radio delete.👍👍

Sounds pretty damn good 👍

On my 86 I also had no ignition but I heard the relay click but nothing so after replacing it I had all power restored but a lot of my harness has been removed including the computer to go carb but I also have msd ignition and manual switches for access including fuel pump etc. my wiring I way worse but my car was a old grudge car put back on the street so I’m not sure what it could have been for you. And I forgot to mention if you have factory fog lights it can blow the multi-function relay.

hey craig love the videos, with your door speakers i hope you have the tops of the speakers covered with something rain gets pass the windows seals and messes with the speakers.

Is your air freshener Kelly from saved by the bell?

I believe so 😂

If you run dash speakers to head unit you will be able to adjust the amp to get more mid bass out of your 6.5 door speakers. Also someone already commented, get the RCA cables away from the main power wire to get rid of engine noise. Now that you have had your flock done for a while, how are you liking it and how is it holding up? Thinking about doing it on my OBS.

How’d you get your dash lights working?!? My dash lights in the fox haven’t been working since I’ve had it and it’s so annoying!

Mount your amp and subs to the car somehow. It’ll save you a lot of money when someone breaks in and tried stealing your stuff.

The Engine noise could be from the cheap radio also. I’ve seen this happen few time in friends cars that got the no name radios off Amazon and eBay. If a good ground to the radio doesn’t fix it and ur rca are separated from ur power wires most likely it’s the radio.

Yup, need to separate the power ground and remote from the RCA plugs or you'll end up hearing the alternator wine through the speakers, shit is so annoying

What trim pieces are you missing on the white Galaxy? There's one in the junkyard near me with every trim piece still on it, I'll grab them for ya

The steering wheel

Love the video. I just installed all new Infinity speakers and a nice Alpine head unit. I was just going to use my stock amp. Well I wired up everything correctly but I wasn’t getting any sound unless I turned the volume all the way up. I ended up ditching the stock amp and I now got sound. The only problem now is all the speakers work besides my door speakers. Do I need a amp to make those work? I hear the dash and door speakers are tied in together?

Next thing is a fire extinguisher stay safe 😜🤘
