[QUOTE="juiceweazel, post: 8193083, member: 658659"] New to the forum. Looking for advice. I bought an 07 Ridgeline several months ago & I'm in the begining stages of designing my audio system. I've installed several daily driver spl stereos in the past, but this is my first truck install. I'm looking for SQ as I'm done w/ the boom. I just want something decent, nothing highend.
