Thanks for the vote of confidence. My goal is to get that premium sound. I would be content once I had it set up. I'm not the kind chasing the next best thing. If I like what I have I run with it until I have a problem or something stops working the way it's supposed to. I think what gets lost...

Sinve I was having a shop do the install, it would be something I discuss with them and review if it is itemized in their installation quote.

The place is called NVS Audio in Linden, NJ. I had to ask since the information wasn't listen on their site. I have sent some spec on expectations and a quote and I'm waiting now. Depending on what they come back with wil determine if I go to visit, see their shop, review current biilds and see...

My truck has the Bose premium sound which equates to a tweeter in the A-pillar and a mid woofer in door panel. I believe it is ampified but not well. No navigation. I had some mid level JL components in my last truck and want something different, although I considered the JL Stealthbox for...

My biggest problem is the unknown when it comes to used. Some people abuse their stuff and there is no way to protect myself. Then you could have stuff rebuilt or even some components swapped out. I would have no idea what to look for. With new, while it costs a bit more I at least have the...

Thanks for the input. I know that there is tremendous brand loyalty as well as hatred for others. Like Apple/PC, Coke/Pepsi. Then factor in that some feel that because they spend top dollar that it has to be better. I believe you get what you pay for and that usually applies in the bottom...

So I have been reading countless posts about every conceivable piece of equipment out there. There are a myriad of different manufactures for each. Not all are available to demo / hear prior to purchase. What are the characteristics in a spec sheet to look for that would suggest one set over...

I cannot share pictures because I have sold that car and removed the equipment prior. The HU was a Pioneer AVIC F90BT and the speakers were JL XR 6.5" 2-way components in front & JL XR 6.5" coaxial in rear. Subs were run off seperate JL 500/1. I was in the planning stages of the upgrade for...

I am not real fond of a sealed enclosure - but I would have to have a little faith that they know what they are doing (JL that is). I had a small custom ported box in my last truck (Avalanche). It was built to hold (4) JL 6W0's and it hit like a single 10" - not the best but not the worst and...

I am usually satisfied with what I get as long as I didn't settle. Once it performs to my expectation I stop thinking about it (unless something fails or goes wrong). Never thought about the alt/battery as consumables with limited lifespan - so that makes sense. I currently have (2) JL 300/4...

My budget wasn't $1000 for amps and subs - what I want (or think I want) is somewhere north of $4000 - but life gets in the way and that may take some time to realize. So while I am not the most patient, I was going to piece things together but wanted to have a solid foundation already in place...

Fair enough on the speaker wire - what is more appropriate? 12 gauge? But is there a downside to having the HO alternator, HD battery and engine wires (alternator positive to battery positive, battery negative to chassis, and engine ground to chassis)? Sort of like building a computer - you get...
