Project Salavage IS FINISHED!!!

After some months of planning, and waiting. Project Salvage is officially finished. The temporary door pods have been temporally installed. Along with the rest of the system that completed this system.

The purpose of Project Salavage was to utlizie items already owned by the owner. And, to spend no less than $150.00 for the entire build. That was the challenge. And, that challenge was met going a little over a $100.00 for the complete build.
To recap the components to Project Salvage. The temporary door pods included a  Hitron 5.25 inch coaxial speaker, Hitron 4 inch coaxial speaker, and a Lighting Audio 3 inch coaxial speaker. Enclosed in a removable housing placed in the doors. The cost of this part of the build was $20.00. That was for the wood, nails, and paint. Following the temporay door pods a subwoofer was added. This is an Audiopipe TS-AR10 in a sealed truck wedge enclosure. Cost for this part was zero dollars. As all parts was previously owned by the owner.

To give these speakers life a XO Vision head unit was purchased. The cost of this was $21.97 along with a Dual XRP52 - 2 Channel amplifier to power the door pods. Which costed $68.25. And, for the subwoofer amplifer a Profile California 700 Watt monoblock was used. Which costed zero dollars as it was previously owned by the owner.

A Radioshack 4-Way crossover was used to split the RCAs for the head unit into two separate amps. Which was also owned by the owner. Wiring was re-used that the owner had already. And, Project Salvage was completed. The video below shows the current, but not finaly stages of the 91 Silverado. But, plans are in the works to upgrade some of the used components in the system.

Temporary Doors Pods for Project Salvage

Project Salvage is now underway on a 1991 Chevy Silverado (CK1500), and the first steps is these temporary door pods.

If you don't know back in 1991 car audio wasn't the main focus of many car manufacturers. If it was a owner's priory to have great car audio, and features. Those was added on as extras opinions. That costed money from the dealership. That's not the case now with modern cars, and car audio. Stock is a Bose, or Kicker system. But, what about those who own older vehicles still. And, want those features that come in modern day cars. Well that's when aftermarket comes in.

Stock this 91 Silverado had 4 4x6 speakers. 2 in the upper dash, and 2 in the pillars. Which provided some sound with the stock head units. So, the first step in Project Salvage is to upgrade to some sound. By added in these temporary door pods to go into the doors. Which this 91 does not have speakers in the doors. These temporary door pods will hold 1 5.25 inch, 1 4 inch, and 1 3 inch coaxial speaker. Check out part 1 of the build below.


These panels was designed to fit inside the pocket of  the doors, and be mounted to the back they will be powered off a 2 channel amplifier wired at 2 ohms. Check out the close to finished project part 2 of the video below.
