What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That came out awesome

 

I think I'm going to add some front door speakers too.

 

I run mine on the roof rack, no issues even when it’s 1/2-3/4 full and sloshing

 

I used Anderson Quick Disconnects. Winch has pigtail to reach.
I also added a circuit breaker inside the cowling to prevent some a-hole from shorting out my battery via the QDs.
I have a 15' extension cable to reach from the front QDs to the rear when the winch is there.

Clip allows easy access to the cable:


Isn't annoyingly obvious:



I like your receiver location much better than where mine is. Higher is always better!

 

I'm happy to have mine there!

Nice job. Only seen a few people with these.

 

Thanks. To you too!

I used Ignite "Spot". I think I'd rather have used "Flood". But they work.
What did you go with?

 

All the sets I built have the flood ignites. Really good coverage.

 

Just a suggestion, while you have the door panels off, spend some time and sound deaden the doors and panels. This will improve bass response immensely.

 

Thank you! I told my wife "I think I am more proud of this than when I completed my master's degree"

 

Galvanic corrosion sucks

 

I have mine mounted on the top rack and haven't had any issues.

 

I'm not sure what their rating for it is but I wouldn't set it up that way personally. Seems like a lot of weight (91lbs full) that isn't fully supported. Why not put it up on your prinsu rack?

 

I installed these and it was a little rough feeding through the grommet. After all that work, I rarely venture out with the truck at night to get the full use of them. Oh well...

 

Thought this at first as well, but then they really grew on me. Maybe they needed to break in.

Have since upgraded to Focals, but these were a solid upgrade after retuning the headunit. A LOT of increased clarity and volume from them.

 

I got a set of Kicker 6.9's with tweeters. They also came with high pass filters. After installing the filters, the way the stock truck works, is the signal comes from the HU then goes through the tweeters and then branched to the 6x9's.
So your tweeters are getting the full signal, which they do not need, and you don't want your tweeters getting sub signal.

 

Mine aren't, I redid my entire system lol.

 

GG +1

Eventually I want to do that.

 

It's worth it but damn is a lot of work. I spent 50-60 hours on the install and I'm still tweaking the DSP.

This included building an amp rack to hide the amp behind the rear seat without removing the cubby panel, completely rewiring the whole system with 100+ ft of 12g wire, finding a hidden place for the passive crossovers, applying additional deadening to the truck and installing a new headunit.
