Truck stereo system questions and recommendations

[bbford]

I'm in the market for a sound processor. As of now, I think I'm going to go with the Audison Bit.1.

I have a JL Audio HD600 4 pushing 3 way morel set. The installer hooked up the amp using one set of channels for the tweeter and midrange, and one set is hooked up to the woofers. 150x4. I actually wanted the amp hooked up as 300x2, with each 300 watts going to the each crossover. Not sure which way is better. Any advice well taken.

In the rear, I have a two way morel set with an 2 channel Alpine class d amp.

Subs are 2 Image Dynamics 10" pushed by a JL Audio 1000 amp.

I have a 2010 F-150 with factory Navigation.

I was looking at the JBL MS-8 also, but I think I'm leaning to the Audison Bit.1

I would love any advice to get really good sound in my truck. The stereo sound pretty good. I've had about 4 different BMW 745LI ranging from 02 -05. I haven't had one in a while, but I use to love the way the QLogic sound in the system.

I'm willing to add more speakers, but I'm just no sure which way to go. Should I change out the speaker in the middle dash? Shold I add more speakers in different locations? I really want to make listening to music in my truck an awesome experience.

Thanks for anyone that takes the time to give me any advice.

old sq competitor words of advice: "keep it stupid simple"

with how your installer has you fronts setup u can have a very good sound stage givin he mounted the mid range rather close to the tweeter and on axis as possible.

the back doors are going to be hard to implement correctly. most serious competitors dont run rear speakers.

processors have been coming out of everywhere. the bitone and ms8 are very good units. the ms8 is more of a set it and forget it unit where as the bit one is more hands on.

The tweeters are in the factory location and the midrange and midbass speaker are in the door. Looking in the truck, other than the box under the seat, everything looks factory. I kind of didnt want the ms8 because it seemed to be a system for better use with a stock stereo system. I dont need the amplification at all.

I think im still going to lean towards the bit.1. Hope it passes my expectation. This is the first time ive ever purchased a sound processor for a vehicle.
