Sound system upgrade

[Rob3989]

Well I decided the stock system sucked and decided to spend a few dollars to make it sound a little bit better. Here’s what was used and a few pics.

1.) Focal Utopia M 3 way (fronts)
2.) Focal Utopia M 3” (center channel)
3.) Focal Flax Coax (rears)
4.) JL Audio Tw5 x2
5.) Helix Dsp.3
6.) Mmats hifi 6150
7.) Mmats hifi 4250 x2
8.) Pac Amp Pro
9.) Xs battery d4800
10.) Dynamat

Looks great. I'm sure that is a lot more than a couple dollars. Wish I could hear it.

Yeah it was a little more than a few dollars lol. It’s not 100% tuned yet. We ran out of time plus the speakers need about 100 hours of playing time to break in before I take it to my tuner. So I still am waiting to really hear it myself. For now it still sounds 100 times better than stock.

That's some serious coin there. Did you previously have the Alpine or HK? How was the install? As simple as plugging into the ANC under the seat to get your input or was it more involved? Do you retain your volume knob on your factory HU? Are those custom housings on the dash or something that can be bought?

Nice setup, would love to hear it.

They are custom fiberglassed pods so you would have to have a shop do them and yes I retained my volume knob and steering wheel controls. As far as what all they tapped into that I am unsure of as I didn’t do the install. Retail on a system like this with the custom work is about 14-15k. I had the HK system and it was pretty trash. Also the way dodge has the stuff under the seat and on the back wall mounted was horrible as it would rattle with the stock sub so I made sure all of that was taken care of. The box was also fiberglassed as well.

The pac amp pro gets connected behind the stock hu unit. I just connected mine yesterday and took me freaking an hour to figure out how to remove the screen lol. After I figured it out it was so simple lol.

They sent me another pic today so here it is

That's what I thought. Thanks. Full integration so to speak rather than just grabbing some outs.

 

[Esworld05]

Yup, and its plug and play no splicing or anything.

As much as I love this system i May pull it and sell it. My company is offering to lease me a truck and I have no need for 2 trucks. Anyone interested in the whole system? This is about a $15,000 set up with the custom work and professional tune I’ll knock a big chunk off if someone wants it all and comes and gets it.

I'm just interested in the sub box. I just paid for a fox box too...

 

[Dontfront82]

Nice set up! can't go wrong with JL audio

15k? What state are u in?

 

[Rob3989]

Live in MN . Box i would do for $2,000 with the subs in it . Box like this on mobile toys without the subs . It houses 2 JL TW5 subs.

Awesome setup. I have a few questions though. With that box, did the shop have to lift the back seats? Did you still have the rear seat recline ability?

No lift and yes it reclines like normal. It’s for sale

Thanks for the offer, but a little too much for me. Looking for something much more simple. Just looking for some dimensions.

Do you lose the ability to get into the storage bins under the mat? Cant tell if this box sits on them or just above the mat.
