New Install Recommendations

Hello all,

I'm requesting the help of everyone in trying to get a system into my truck that sounds incredible. I have 1989 GMC Sierra standard cab.

Listening styles run the gambit, mainly Alt Rock, but also Hip Hop/ Rap, pretty much everything but country.

Just finished sound deadening the truck with products from Don at SDS before I throw the carpet down I'm ready to wire the speakers, but after reading through the forums, not sure what exactly I should be doing.

I'm looking to throw 6.5 components down in the kickpanels using Q-Forms Kick Panel Enclosures. And possibly if I can get these to work - Scosche SA69 Convertible 6x9-Inch Speaker Adapter (can copy and paste into Amazon.com) - an extra set of components in the dash. If not, (or if not necessary), then a pair of coax 6x9's.

Also going with the JVC KD-R820BT Receiver.

Looking through the JL Audio Product Line I was looking with going with the following setup.

1 - JL Audio Slash v2 Series 500/1v2

1 - JL Audio Slash v2 Series 300/4v2

1 - JL Audio C5-650 Set

2 - JL Audio 10W3v3-4 - Low Airspace Obviously a Factor

6x9 Coax - Couldn't find a JL equivalent.

Sub enclosure to be built based on Subs

I'm trying to stay around the $1500 range and purchase new equipment.

Open to suggestions on systems, and wondering if anyone has had any luck with a GM truck and putting components in the 6x9 factory enclosure using an adapter like the one I described.

I'd concentrate on one high quality set of components, no real need for much else in a pickup truck (other than sub stage). Also I dig JL products & have used them for a long time , but there are a lot of JL haters on this fourm so be prepared, lol.

Not hating on JL because they do make really nice equipment, but you can get just as good or better for half the price.

Might be a bit of an exaggeration.

What would be your recommendations?
