    Only problem I'm having is a buzzing sound from speakers now. Tried a different ground but didn't help. I'm using two loc's one for front and one for rear as Inputs for 4ch amp. And preamps from 4ch to sub amp. If anyone has advice on solving this problem I could use it.

    Is it a buzzing or just a low hissing?

    Just wanted to weigh in here and say thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. It has been immensely helpful as I work through my upgrade.

    Some progress from this weekend....all four doors and cab have been deadened. Ran power cables from battery, Speedwire harness from head unit to LC7i, more Speedwire from amp location back up to dash. I also installed an inverter under the driver's seat.

    When you say you decrease sensitivity do you mean on the LOCs or on the amps?

    I would recommend to do with a kicker sum8 like I have or an lc7i type unit like what others have used. They are higher quality than those cheap LOCs. I still have a slight hum in my system though, I have heard that is pretty normal in these types of setups. I still need to do some adjustments but it isn't that bad so I haven't messed with it at all.

    Looks really good!! Nicely done on the extra plugs in the center console. What are you going to be running as far as audio components?

    I thought about getting the 10 inch version of that box. I have always wondered how they sounded and if they would fit behind the seats alright. I guess it fits just fine. :thumbsup:

    Yeah I kinda wanted to retain all the plastic covers in the back so I figured might as well try this little sub box and worked perfectly for my needs

    You are very welcome. There weren't very many audio installs for these trucks so I really wanted to be able to help others for sure. Mission accomplished. :yes:

    So what else did you use for your install? LOC? Door speakers?
