time to upgrade

vehicle: 2011 f350 crew cab king ranch with factory nav

this will be a slow process due to cost of some of the parts
Speakers
Components: Focal Performance 165AS
Rear coax: Focal Access 570ca1(from my last stereo build i never finishedon my 2002)
Speaker Amplifier: CT Sounds AT60.4, although i do have a Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 that i didnt use in my last build which would save me some money

Subwoofers: (2) JL Audio 10TW3-D4
Sub Box: super crew sounds
Subwoofer amp: CT Sounds AT900.1D that would be turned way down

Sound processor: AudioControl LCQ-1

ill be using 9 wire to run to and from the factory navigation to run to all the speakers in the truck


i will also be setting up a busbar for positive and ground so i can have short runs of wires to the amp for a cleaner look

im also looking into buying the Steve meade designs dd-1 and cc-1 if i cant find somebody with them where i live at to tune my setup for me

tell me what yall think about this setup

:nopics:
Please post some pics. I wanna see what your gonna do with the buss bar.

did a little ordering last night
went with the Skar audio spx-65c component set for up front
ordered some mdf 6x8 to 6.5 adapter plates
2 rolls of 9 wire

Sounds like a good start.

You gonna build your own box with the mdf?

no the mdf plates are for my door speakers

pretty much didnt order anything i planned on ordering

2 sundown audio sd-3 10s
audio control lc6i
hifonics ZRX1216.1D zeus amp
super crew sounds box
and i bought a 1/0 dist block with 4ga outputs on it

Haha some times it's just easier that way.

Been getting some goodies in here lately

Got some new stuff in

well i got my super crew box in, and the subz dont fit, the magnet is almost 8" in diameter and they speced them out for the sd-2 since sundown doesnt have the sd3 specs up on their website so now im playing the waiting game for a new box to show up

also my sync setup has quit on my truck so i may be ditching the factory nav in favor of a ipad mini and a regular cd player

Looks like it is going to be a great build! I am in the dead-end, decision-making phase, still trying to figure out the last pieces of the stereo upgrade that I want to use.

yeah im dropping the factory nav unit and going with a ipad mini since my sync module went bad

Finally getting started with this iPad install, went with a 128 gb 4g iPad

Got the factory dash sit out for the sound man iPad slider kit

Got the kit trimmed up and fitted into the dash just need to find a 90 degree lightning cable to 30 pin adapter

Also got started on my door speaker install but it got dark on me

Post up how them skar's sound.. Am curious.. I'm very pleased with the skar vd-8's that I have.

Interesting. Always wondered how to put an iPad in the dash.

Ran around town this morning to get all of my screws and aftermarket radio harness so I don't have to cut my factory wires
The skar tweeters were way too big to fit into the factory tweeter spots so I went and bought some kicker tweeters . I also wanted the tweeters removable I save they blew or something so I chopped off the stock tweeter moints and epoxied them to the kicker tweeter.
Kicker tweeter and stock parts in and bolted down, I probably could have left them like this and it would have been fine cause I tried my hardest to get them to come out but couldn't.

Here they are with epoxy on them


And here they are next to the stock tweeter


And here is the way my door is setup now

Looking good! Is that the .75 or 1" tweeter?! :thumbup::jammin:

It's a .75 and fit great, I'm gonna put the skar audio tweeters in the rear doors where there is a spot from factory


*KCCO*

Got my focal speakers in the rear spots, the rear speakers had 2 plugs on it so I just tied both hot wires together and put a terminal on the rear speakers

Curious how the 10's are gonna sound in that box.. Did Supercrew get the correct airspace for sealed enclosure for the subs? Be sure to check and see where the seat is at with the sub.. Mine rubbed a lil but with the inverted foam like the SD-3 has maybe that won't be an issue..
