I think a few of you already know this, BUUUUTTTT I'm a bit of an audiophile, and I miss it... SO I started looking for ways to pump up the stock system a bit because as we all know, stuff for these trucks are NOT cheap at all.

First thing I did was find a way to run an aftermarket equalizer. In my case, it was super easy because my phone provides 99.9% of all the music for the truck so I simply loaded an app (Look in the geek section for it) called DSP manager that allows me to individually control the frequency bands and set loudness correction as well as a few other goodies.

The second and last poor man mod I did was pull the factory woofer out (you have to remove the box entirely) and wrapped it with poly-fill. Super easy to do, just pull the box, pull the woofer, wrap the woofer and reinstall it.

MAJOR improvement with the poly-fill alone and the equalizer helps out tons. Bad thing is that I'm really getting the itch for some audio stuff. :/

About the sub. It did the same to mine. But I'm upgrading soon. Because the enclosure is plastic you loose alot of the bass thru the box vibrating but still sounds better. I home my mod comes next week so it will get better lol

I played with the DSP app, but after replacing some of the alpine speakers to infinity up front and jbl in rear doors, then adding a aftermarket dvc 2 ohm bazooka sub in the stock box with poly fill, I found it sounds really good now and the DSP app made it harder for me to get the best sound.
