Just got a 22 Silverado LTD non Bose and the only thing I don’t love about my truck is the sound system. It’s a common complaint of those with the non-Bose stereo. It’s flat, no bass and sounds like hot garbage.
I’m sure this is the first thread of many to come, but I appreciate all your input. Back in high school I did build a couple systems that would rattle my rear view clear off and make the odometer reel jump…..those of you my age will know what I’m talking about LOL! But no experience since then.
Anyway, things have changed and my priorities have changed. My priorities are simple, hidden, and ease of installation. Don’t want to do any customization if possible and want something as close to plug and play as possible.
I put together a system on crutchfield and looking for some feedback. Here is what is tentatively sitting in my cart sans all the accessories needed for install.
At the heart of everything is a JL 5 channel amp. Can’t decide between the one with signal processing or not (extra $600). MB Quart components up front (mid in door, tweeter in dash) and MB Quart coax in rear doors. Stealth box under rear seat.
Looking for quality components not super premium but I like good stuff. Kinda partial to MB Quart due to nostalgia they sounded so awesome back in the day. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time.
I guess the only areas I have doubts is:
1. The amp selection for what I want. Seems the rms lines up with components selected. Signal processing or no? (Punch has a similarly powered amp I was considering as well)
2. Front speakers. Go with component with mid in door and tweet in dash or coax in door and additional tweet or mid in dash. Concerned with the amount of distance between tweet and mid.
Sorry for the long winded post but any input or constructive criticism welcome. Kind of excited and kind of nervous attempting to pull apart my new truck!
