![]() IME most of the lower end Rockford-Fosgate components have a fairly shrill & bright tweeter, and you may want something mellower? eBay used to have some great deals on the newer Sony Mobile ES XS-162ES 6.5" components, especially if you Made an Offer or messaged the seller, but I don't see any listed on eBay at the moment.īut if you will be installing the DSR1 DSP, you could go with raw DIY drivers and run them fully active (a separate DSP & amp channel for each 6.5" midwoofer speaker and each tweeter) which allows much finer control over all aspects of the sound and a better front soundstage and imaging. What type of sound signature do you prefer? Regarding speakers, I would keep the factory rear speakers and put more money into better front 2-way components. While it may save space and be fine for that lower powered shallow sub, it just seems like a "cheap" cost-cutting move. In addition, that R-F subwoofer truck box is made out of 1/2" MDF, and not 3/4" MDF. Seems like a major oversight on their part. The subwoofer is a 2-ohm DVC wired in parallel down to 1-Ohm, but the Alpine amplifier's mono subwoofer channel is only stable down to 2-Ohms. What is your TOTAL BUDGET for this install?Īnd I don't know why the Crutchfield rep would suggest that particular R-F 10" subwoofer/truck box to pair with the that Alpine 5-channel amp they recommended to go with it. I will put my comments questions at each step. I like Crutchfield and spent some time on the phone with one of their advisors but wanted to see what the board thought. I am lost in the weeds in regards to options. I am mainly concerned with getting a clean ,and preferably turnkey/automated, signal from the factory radio to the speakers. ![]() Sync 4 -> Appropriate Harness -> DSP/Amplifier Combo (or separate DSP and amplifier if needed) -> Front Component Speakers and Rear Coax Speakers and Subwoofer Therefore I think a sealed 8-10 inch sub would work perfectly. I listen to 95% rock and occasionally country music. My biggest concern is getting the factory signal from the Sync system into an amp with it sounding as good as possible with the minimum amount of set up on my end because I really don't know what I am doing tuning wise. In no way do I consider myself a big audiophile so I do not need some crazy set up. I've spent a week or so on here reading through various F-150/Super duty builds and felt like I should start my own thread to get some direct advice/questions answeredįactory is Front door, front a pillar tweeters, center channel, rear door ![]()
