After seeing the panel installed I think I've got a good spot. Keeping them close to the driver does make sense. They ended up being directed perfectly the way the surface of the door is curved. If I would have put them in the a pillar I would have had to use a really cheesy angled braket that...

So I got a little done today. Mounted the tweeters in the doors panels and front woofers into the factory spots. Is this somewhat where you meant Kai? I scrutinized where to put the tweets for an hour and despite where the manual said to mount them high by the a pullers I decided to install them...

I read somewhere that the top layer of mdf in an enclosure should be 2x 3/4" Here's how it will look all closed up.

Some progress Not a lot of progress tho more feeding the wood stove inside for my wife and beer drinking!

So here's what I've got so far, The sub box will be sealed and according to the sub manual a little small. Not quite sure what that will translate into sound wise hoping somone here could tell me? The section of the box w the amp will have a second clear plexiglass "shelf" with another mtx mono...

Oh and if I used all 3 pair speakers I thought I'd use the amp to power the front 4 and my hu to power the rear since they are less important as I'm told. Don't think I'll be using all 3 pair now though. 4 speakers and the sub now. The extra set of 6.5 will be put into the Toyota:)

Thanks for the great reply. The factory hu will be hooked to the amp va high level inputs. Prob not ideal but that really the only weak point of me using the factory unit as far as I'm feeling. After a little more talking to the salesman I've been dealing with he,s sold me a sub lol. It's a 10...

It appears I've kinda got ahead with the components! I should have asked first. If I could do it again from the advice I've gotten so far I would have invested in a sub. Whoops:(

Yes the factory hu. I like the way Bluetooth , wheel controls, sat all work perfect. And at a glance it won't look appealing to theves. I have a mtx 4 channel amp to install model rt604 60w rms And 3 component sets from hertz hsk 165xl DSk 165.3 Esk 130.5

Yes definitely got a point there! I'm guessing you wouldn't bother switching out the 5.25,s in the back with 6.5's then? Just thought they would kinda help w bass

Oh and the third set would likely go in the kick panels on an angle to face towards. Just would have to figure out how ppl build speakers into there!? Think that's worth the trouble?

Thank you for the reply. I've definitely got the best set of 6.5's planned for the front as that's how I usualy set up the balance, with the most sound from the front. I don't have a sub planned as I would like to see if I can manage without. For space reasons and because it would have to add...

Hello I'm a new member with some questions I'm hoping to get answered. I have a 2009 Sierra 2500hd that I decided to upgrade. It started with the installation of sound deadener thought the cab purely to quiet down the diesel sound. After installing the deadener I noticed how bad the sound system...
