SQ sytem

[carguy6702 0]

Well , going by the pictures. If you run stock locations your gonna need a heaping helping of Time alignment on the mids . Don't know if you have dash locations , if you do they might be a good place to start with the tweets mounted .

heaping helping of time alignment?

what dash locations you talking about?

[JimJ 11]

I would also add , don't fall into the audiophool line of thinking that expensive always means it's better.

Yeah, but...but...but...

My thoughts since I have a very good amount of EXP in these trucks.

#1

Kick pannels...You have them, keep them. I suggest you either glass the back of those or deaden them very well. This will help you get a bit more midbass out of them. If possible, point them more tword the center of the dash. This will help even them more and bring your stage further out off the dash and on the hood.

#2

Tweeters in a-pillars Mount them low, cause the glass is at an angle that your stage will raise to the roof. Mount them just before the slope at the bottom of the pillar.

#3

Time allignment...you will need it in our very wide vehicles...

#4 (not so important)

Add another set of midbass drivers in the door.Cross them over low if possible 180-200hz and below. Deaden your door very well. If you cross them that low you SHOULD be able to get away without time allignment on them.

#5

EQ, the trucks have a major spike in the 125hz and 350hz range as well as a few others...You might be ok in the kicks if you dont run another set of mid bass in the doors...those were from the doors.

#6 and last...

Have fun and make your truck sound good to YOU...THAT is what is most important. YOU spend the most time in there, why shouldnt you be happy with it

not sure what you mean by that?

[JimJ 11]

You really need to find someone locally and/or do a crapton of reading on DIYMA and ECA.

We can't possible begin to answer everything on a format like this.

I am saying that if you put speakers in your doors you will have a very un-natural sound in the 125hz and 350hz ranges, we well as a few others.

yes, you can use midbass in the doors and components (midrange) in the kick panels. just make sure that you try speaker placement first to see which location sounds the best. good luck!!

jntar,

do you have a 2 or 3 way setup?

[///M5 2,833]

His is a 3 way with Coustic 4" mids and Extremi in the doors. It would definitely be a good starting place to have a listen as from owning mine and knowing what is in his it should surely be either sweet or a stellar start on the way.

[carguy6702 0]

well thanx for all the info. more than i was expecting but helped and made me think of how and where i would install everything

ok, so far what i need is a good HU,

good components+amp, for voice

sub+amp, for bass

and sound deadning

and placement off all components

what else is used for good SQ?

what about crossovers??

[JimJ 11]

What crossovers you'll need depends on what kind of setup you end up with. The higher-end head units usually have some sort of active crossovers onboard, but they may or may not be flexible enough for your install. There's a couple good brands of outboard crossovers, Audiocontrol comes to mind.

im goin to get a new HU maybe an Kenwood DDX8019 or Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD

i think they have pretty good controls
