Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

Looks awesome. Good pick. Anxious to see how it does for you. Are you bose?

Bose hybrid as I like to say. Lux amp running JVC 2 ohm door speakers, tweeters and D pillar speakers. Sub output from HU running Soundstream 250 w mono amp to a 10”’ JL sub in an MTX Thunderform enclosure behind the rear panel. It has great imaging due to the Lux amp and great bass. And this HU just made it sound even better. All done. It was pretty easy, just cut all the wires off the Sony plug and color matched them to the Pioneer plug, plugged in the cam, usb wire, remote plug for the SWC adapter, sub and had to install the included mic since the plug was smaller. I ended up having to cut the brace behind the radio cage too, this units was deeper. Then had a bit of a time setting up the wireless CarPlay but it’s working now. I’ll add a pic of The Beast for the splash screen. It has an HDMI input too so I’m gonna add an outlet as well as 2 usb outlets

Why's the pillar down? For the mic?

Selfie cam in the A pillar.

Sweet. Can't wait to see those lol.

Mark has a duck face like no other.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, the wireless CarPlay is instantaneous as in it’s paired with my phone and playing Pandora as fast as it can play an HD FM station. As soon as the system boots, it’s CarPlay.

Good to know! Now I know what I'm REALLY missing.

I got the plug wires today. They're super beefy and look to be the perfect length. They seem to be made by B&B Mfg/ OML Racing. I tried to look at their catalog but it seems they want you to have an account. I'll report back after I install them.
Edit: IDK why my pics keep turning out upside down when I upload them.

EBay. I can’t get the link to load, but I just searched for LS engine plug wires. $118. I just installed the passenger side, seem to be just what I was looking for with my headers. You can angle them away from the header pipes since they have the angled boots and they’re the perfect length. No more touching due to being too long.

there's so many on there, have the item number?, do they touch anything on the inside edge? do they fit with the metal heat shields?

Item 351925993115. Inside edge? They don't touch anything on mine. I have headers so I'm unsure if they would fit with the heat shields since I don't use those.
