2012 big horn audio upgrade!

Well fella's next Wednesday truck goes into local audio shop to have subs and amp installed. A few months down the road I will be doing the doors and dash speakers.

Enjoy man...it will make a huge difference. What setup are you going with?

 

[Marc1982443]

I'm am going with 2 JL 10w3v-4 in a sealed enclosure wired at 2 ohms. Powering them with a JL XD600/1.
The doors are going to be JL C5-650 components. Rear door I am still debating on if I want component or coaxial.
The amp will be the JL XD400/4.
Head unit I'm still not sure just gonna run it off the factory deck till I make that decision. I know I won't get the best sound but anything is better then the base 6 speaker lol

I just did the same system except a HD900 to power it all. I put jl tr 6x9s in back and it sounds awesome. You could components in back but I'm never back there so I didn't see the point.

 

[Marc1982443]

What head unit did you do? Reason I'm doing components in back is for my daughter she loves her music and is always asking for it louder. Lol.

 

[TwoWheelSqueal]

Pioneer avh x2500bt. My build threads on here somewhere. It cost the same as the LOC I was looking at so I figured why not. The TRs sound great in the back and they fit perfectly in the stock location. What ever you go with you'll love it! Where are you putting your front tweeters?

 

[Marc1982443]

Front tweeters not sure yet but kind thinking of making a plate for them to go where the 3.5's are now with a slight angle

 

[TwoWheelSqueal]

JL says they can be mounted both off and on Axis. I mounted them in the A-pillers and don't get me wrong, they sound great, I just think they may be better suited for the sail panel or somewhere on the door.

Things changed going with the stealth box and the xd 700/5 can't beat the price I was given..$1100 installed

 

[TwoWheelSqueal]

That sounds like a good deal.

 

[Marc1982443]

Yea it is. Dude called me and told me he will do focal pcs 6.5 components for 250 a set.

 

[Marc1982443]

Focal PS165 components going in this evening.

 

[TwoWheelSqueal]

Howed it turn out

 

[Marc1982443]

Focal components sound amazing. Stealth box sounds great. I will be adding a second set of components molding the mid bass into the front door. Head unit will be installed sometime next month.

 

[Marc1982443]
