I know this is a sub $100 thread, but does anyone have recommendations for running boards under $200? I'm looking for some black ones. Recommendations for glossy ones and matte ones? Let me know!

Found some used oem take-offs for less than $150 in my city.

My last 2 trucks had the faded black look, always hated it. I like this idea, my truck already has a lot of chrome, so it should blend right in.

Upgraded OEM subwoofer to a Pioneer sub. Plug & Play with Metra adapters.

Filled plastic woofer box with shredded poly fill from a pillow, but not overstuffed. The hollow plastic food container sound is gone.

Sealed bottom screw hole with a wood disc and copious amounts of silicone.

I am not a bass head, but these old ears can tell a marked difference.

From someone who stood in front of the speaker stacks at concerts until his ears bled in the 70's, I'm quite happy with the results. $80 all-in.

While I'm actually pleased with the bump from my factory stereo system, there will come a day when I will want to replace or upgrade everything in it. How involved was the sub replacement & where the hell is it? :think:

Either the woofer is small & hides well, or my truck doesn't have one & the door speakers are even better than I thought.

I'm an old-school 10" sub woofer guy. I have built a box and installed it in every one of my cars except my RAM..... Why? Because the stock speakers are that good!
Or maybe I'm just turning into an old man LOL [emoji23]

That's almost exactly what I did, except I added shredded poly from a pillow to get rid of the old plastic tuna casserole container sound.
