I don't think your going to notice anything by installing the Caps. They are provided to cut low frequencies and I believe the system is already doing that. Have you tried adjusting the Bass on the EQ? Not sure if it'll help, or just make the awful stock subwoofer even more boomy.

Before and after. It's subtle but noticable and definitely looks better. Personally I like a little rake, but the first looks like 70s muscle car.

Got the spacers put in today. Raises the front about .75". I do think it looks better. Rides the same.

I've been using mother's cmx. Easy to apply. Truck stays shiny (when clean).

^^^glad you like! I'm not sure what the Alpine door 6x9s are like, but on the HK system I was even more amazed by increase in range and tightness of the infinity 6x9s. 4 6x9s really fill in the midbass nicely. Now I just need to get my box done so I can hook up the 2 10" subs.

I have no doubt that running the Fix 86 or DSR1 plus a DSP and/or amps with DSP would allow a person to really tweak to ones tastes, but that may or may not be the objectives of everyone. Like a lot of things, I think it's important to determine what it is that you want to accomplish and what...

I have the 10W1s and they also play just fine for my tastes. But definitely pay a premium that shallow tech.

That dual 10" box is a slick design. Still have access to the boxes and storage behind.

The real question is whether this modification voids the warranty... They have to prove it right. :)

Got ya. Well I will just say this. There's a lot of discussion on this forum, but I think in general if you have the Alpine or HK system, many people have been happy with just replacing the stock speakers and running them off of the factory amp. It's not going to get rear splitting loud, but the...

I've been experimenting with ANC to see what difference it makes in the interior of the cab. Basically I've shut off the audio and driven in various conditions with the system plugged in and unplugged. The difference is very subtle. To me, it seems the biggest change is with the exhaust tones...

What factory system do you have? I have the HK and just replaced the stock speakers. I thought about running new amps, but the shear number of channels needed was intimidating (and the factory amp with new speakers sounded plenty good), so I just use it for the sub channel.

^^^I think the cleanest and easiest solution is the PAC Amppro to get your sub signal. That would is as close to just an easy old school plug and play piece as you get. It adds a bit of cost but is about as simple as it comes and would really reduce the chances of noise.

I've used it many times to stop small squeeks and rattles. Cars have come a long ways in that regards. They've been using better materials that aren't as prone to the irritating ticks. 90s cars were so bad!

It's fine to add aftermarket amps, but like most modern vehicles you're going to need some sort of system integration module to retain all of the factory stuff. You can use the dsr1 or PAC Amppro. Are you just wanting to add a sub or overhaul the entire thing?

^^^ yep!

I used the ACC slot in the fuse panel. Turns on with the ignition. No switch. I had the stuff to make it work with the idea of coming back to the relay option but haven't gotten around to it. Too many other things (stereo... rebuilding my box for a second 10" sub) have been taking my spare...

Is it It's just the grill? I'd use a bit of cloth tape where the contact points are underneath first. See if that fixes it.

I fashioned a small wedge/block out of black plastic with a miter saw and sander. Drilled a hole in it to house the LED light bolt and then just used adhesive (two sided decal tape from 3M) on the top and bottom, and then pushed the assembly in between the slats on the grill. This way if I...

Haven't been pulled over. They aren't high output and they're no brighter than raptor lights.
