Beautiful work on the car. Doing a stereo right takes a lot more work that most people think. Half of my last install was spent pulling out carpeting and laying deadener. I'm sure its a night and day difference from the OE setup

Rick,
The HUmount comes with a thick plastic install kit. It should be everything you need to physically install you headunit. It does not include a wire harness of course. And you will have to figure out how you want to wire up the HUmount lights. I wired them to my shift plate indicator light. I don't believe I have any pics of the mount not installed, I will have to check. You will also need to remove the metal bracket from behind the stock radio, not a big deal, a few bolts. Depending on how deep you headunit is, it may or may not contact the climate control vents in that area. Mine just touched, I sort of pushed them back while I installed the 4 main screws, you will know what I mean when you get there.

TheMuskr,
I will get the dimensions up soon.

thanks 87350IROC! i ordered my HUmount kit. can't wait to get everything installed. what did you do for a wiring harness? or did you just splice into the original harness. i would prefer not to trash the original set-up if possible, in case someone wants to go original again in the future. rick

Yeah, whatever you do don't hack into the stock harness, it will just cause a bunch of headaches. You can get adapter harnesses to adapt whatever headunit you have to the stock harness.

Depending on how you decide to connect the HUmount lights, you may have to do some hacking. Just do it right and you won't have any problems. So the HUmount will come with two wires sticking out of it, power and ground. Connect power to any power wire you want and connect ground to a good ground.

superb job dood! that mounting plate is bad@$$ too! its pretty pricey though

VERY cool install

Just an FYI...Dynamat or Ramaat should be rolled on for the best results. Any simple roller (wood or plastic) will do.

Just put 36 sq ft in my 89....more to come

Yeah I picked up a hard rubber wallpaper roller for doing the Raammat. I found it somewhat useful for flat panels. I understand the old original Dynamat really needed one to go on right. I think the Raammat would be fine without a roller, but for $5 you might as well get one.

How much sq ft of dynamat or other sound deadening material do you need to cover the what you did? It looks really nice.

I used 125 square feet of Raammat. I would have needed more if I did the firewall and roof.

19Chevrolet84 · 08-24-2009, 12:34 PM

Did you use it all? was there enough to have alittle leftover for screwups?

ellocojorge · 09-01-2009, 04:29 PM

any chance u have the dimensions of your sub box?

87350IROC · 09-02-2009, 12:40 AM

19Chevrolet84,

Yes I did use it all. I used a double layer on the door skins and the top middle of the gas tank hump.

ellocojorge,

I do plan to get the dimensions up. I am in the middle of a move right now and have to travel this weekend but hope to get them up fairly soon.

BMR Sales · 09-24-2009, 10:22 AM

Looks good, your attention to detail is nice!

Pie · 09-24-2009, 05:24 PM

Wow great work man, I love that HUmount, I'm gonna order one for my RS very soon

Definitely going to have to track this for future reference when I do my audio, looks like the best way to go, your hard work really paid off.

ThePain · 10-02-2009, 01:21 AM

You're car is amazing!

ellocojorge · 10-14-2009, 02:51 AM
