I will be attempting to handle the audio upgrade in my truck on my own. It is not too complicated (I think) of a setup, so that's why not taking it in to a installer. Plus I like the challenge. I want SQ though, so if I hit a bump in the road...I will take it in.
I am open to suggestions if anyone sees something. I am a newbie, learning .
Gear:
Focal PS 165F components in front
AudioControl DQ-61 processor/eq
JL Audio RD400/4 (not out yet, ships in May)
Stock rear speakers
Existing Infinity Kappa Perfect sub until I get a shallow mount for behind/under the seat. I have some infinity kappa 5x7/6x8 that I may try to make a custom fit in the rear. I haven't fully looked into that yet, but I have them so why not!
I started this last weekend by sound dampening the front doors. I will have to wait on the next step until my amp comes in. My plan is to have the amp power the fronts and the sub. I will run the stock rear speakers off the factory unit.
Before
After:
I put the stock speakers back in for now. I can already tell a bit better bass response and quietness in the cab. I only did the front doors, I will probably do the rears too.
The next post will depend on when I get the amp!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
