    Recently, I have upgraded my system from stock. I added an Arc Audio 4 channel amp, Focal component door speakers, and an Audio Mobile 12" sub in a custom box. I like that it is simple (2 speakers and a sub, 1 amp) but still sounds amazing. So far I have kept the stock deck. I like that a thief would most likely pass it up because it looks stock. My local shop (Audio Images SF) helped me with this project. I have been going there for years because they are one of the best car audio shops in the bay area. Sorry for the sideways pics. I haven't yet got the hang of posting pics.

    Looks great. I really like simple installs. It doesn't take much to make great sound.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Did the door speaker used any after market bracket alike to hold the Focal speakers?

    I like to get a pair of better speakers for my truck myself.

    Thanks for the feedback. The adapters for both the tweeters and the midrange/woofers are custom cut. The crossovers are also mounted in the doors.

    I was afraid you were gonna say that!

    Taco tunes sells the bracket off the shelf product. I was trying to avoid buying the bracket.

    Really like the simple install! How did you get the aftermarket Focal badges on your stock door grilles to look so clean? A little bit of glue?
