Im going to use this thread to post all pictures of my audio build up of my '86 blazer. The plans are as follows;
upgrade big 3
upgrade battery (most likely optima red top, maybe a yellow)
focal 165KF components most likely in the kicks.
MTX 8500 12" in a downfired ported box directly behind the drivers seat.
MTX 1501D and Eclipse EA4000 under a flase floor where the rear seat used to be.
Ive already taken out the rear seat and started construction of the ported enclosure. My new camera is suppsoed to show up tomorrow so hopefully I will get some pics posted.

Can't wait to see the rear seat false floor! I took my rear seats out and wanted to do something similar but ended up putting them back in within two weeks. I guess I use my rear seats more often than I thought!

well my camera just came in (its a sony dsc-h9) and I had planned on posting some pics today, but the battery takes 4 hours to charge and I am leaving to go buy a new TV, alpine h701 processor, alpine w205 touch screen DVD, and misc wiring and what not for the blazer. I will get some pics up ASAP.

small update
I picked up some 0/1ga wire, a new distro block, battery fuse and other misc install items last night for the blazer. I also bought a basic alarm for the beast. This will be my first alarm install so I hope it all goes well. My camera battery is all charged up but I am at work all day today and tomorrow. I took some pics yesterday. I may be able to post them tonight.

if you are planning on doing keyless (if that model supports it) you will need two relays. just an FYI

those be the ones. just convert to neg pulses. also if you have a trunk release on the alarm, will need a relay for that as well, but wiring for that should be in the manual

Its a clifford matrix 1. I got it for $70 instead of the $110 retail. I have a buddy that works at a local audio shop that hooks me up big time.
anything else I need to keep in mind about the blazer while installing the alarm?

yep. Got that all printed out. Should be easy enough. When I actually get around to doing the install, I will post any questions if I have them. Thanks again.
