DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Stock? I’m about to have my SR5 stuff available in the next week or so

 

I have my stock front shocks/springs from my 2013 still... they have about 46k miles on them.. I dont think the rears are good anymore...

You can have them CHEAP!!!

 

Bro you are not that far from me... i still have your bed rail, we can meet up somewhere close after work if you would like...

 

Damn that’s impressive

 

A reminder about the meet is that several cities are having their 4th of July festivities on the 30th.

 

We could always do a later meet too and watch some fire works.

Whenever man, Im not in a super hurry It will still have to go to the fab shop too. Ive got to call them today and try and get some stuff figured out for the new front bumper.

 

Hopefully I can make the July meet, Ill be moving down to Dallas the 19th of July. Looking forward to meeting TW peeps and wheeling with you guys

 

Ok so im not sure why people think that upgrading the speakers makes them louder....

The speakers used in that right up want 150w RMS, there is NO WAY your stock headunit will push that! You are getting 20w RMS MAX from the stock HU and that is being very generous! Plus all the settings in the stock HU plays a huge part in the sound of your truck!

If you dont want to buy and install an amp in your truck then find speakers with around 35w RMS, you will get the best sound from them.

Now tweeters only draw about 10 -15 w RMS individually, and that is even for the "nice" ones, like my hybrid audios. When they are tuned correctly they will never draw more than that.

Those kicker tweeters are expensive! and i think its because it comes with that adapter, which can easily be made from a thin cutting board from ikea...

In my personal opinion... if you are upgrading the sound in your vehicle then you should probably add an amp. You can even get better sound from your stock speakers by upgrading your Headunit as it will probably push more watts to each speaker than your stock. Some even have built in EQs that will help out a lot.

That's all, have a great day!

 

Buy some of these..... i had installed these tweeters before i got my hybrid audio speakers and they were LOUD AF!! Ended up selling them and i wish i would have kept them so i could install them in the trailer... i maybe buying another set...

I did save my passive crossovers from my hybrids that i plan to install in the trailer...

what are you wanting to do to it??

 

Nice! What part of the DFW metroplex are you moving too?

Funny story about new locals... i meet a girl at the dog park that said she tried to get an uber to the "fort worth airport". uber driver was foreign also so they had no idea what she was talking about so they drove around for about an hour before she told him to stop and she got out.

I explained to her that its the "dallas / Ft worth" airport and its called the "DFW airport". I think it clicked after that.

 

Do you think that serial killers and child rapists watch videos like this before they leave the house?? Maybe she should direct her video towards a particular audience.

 

To the bumper or the bar? Pretty hush hush on both until I get it done. Shock and awe factor for the bumper and possible product using the bed bar.

 

Hope your not trying to make some custom shock towers out of them! haha Pretty sure that bed rail would rip right off!

 

Hahaha no nothing like that.

 

well here is a little shock and awe for you...

Trailer got a lift over the weekend. Its leaf over right now and im debating on going leaf under to drop it about 3 inches... Its pretty tall, sits taller than my truck!

 

I’m not wanting a lot louder system, but my speakers are starting to go out, and need be replaced with something, so if I can get a (mostly) plug and play upgrade for less than $200, I’m in.

Adding an amp sounds like a wiring pain in the ass and isn’t something I’ve done before.
