    Like already stated...Get that thing sanded up good and cleaned up after with some acetone. That’s what I did after I first wire wheeled the entire thing.

    Just got a pretty basic set of Morel Maximo Ultra 602 coax speakers for my rear doors. These will compliment the Virtus 3 way components in the front. Purchased from Dynamic Auto Sound in southern California, they're one of the few authorized Morel online retailers. Free shipping and they arrived in less than 48 hours. Will post pics of the install in the near future.

    I did my tweeters first and then all 4 door speakers a few months later and tbh I really didn't notice much difference. That was with a stock head unit though

    I purchased mine that summer of 2005. Had a big sign on back window “truck of the year” from somebody. Who knows what they did? Maybe it varied by region? Mine had the Toyota alarm, maybe dealer put it in? Who knows?

    This NVX SDRF20 sound deadening is the 3 layer stuff like Soundskins for half the price. I did the whole back wall before I got my Stealthbox and amp tho... it was honestly super easy to put on tho. Remove the seat back with 14mm socket and the plastic trays on the wall are 10mm.
