What aftermarket stereos are you all running in your trucks??

I had been running a Kenwood system. Will change new stereo with the "new" truck.


I'm especially interested if anyone has come up with a location to stash a sub or subs in their quad cab??

 

im running a alpine 9815 deck, diamond audio door speakers,jl audio tweeters, jl stealth box with 2 10 inch jls powerd by a 500 watt fosgate amp with in dash bass control ****. into the whole system 1700.00 but well worth it. the stealth box under the rear seat matches interior perfect, hides subs and sounds awesom. i tryed custom boxes and cheaper boxes wasnt happy with any of them till i got the stealth box. jl also makes a box with a single 12 to fit between front seats. thats my next sound investment. i can take some pics of mine if youd like to see.

Right now I have an Alpine CDA-9815, Audiobahn AW1500HCT amp, and 2 12" Audiobahn AW1206T's. Hopefully soon Ill be adding JL components up front and Alpine coax's in the rear, not to sure bout the amp yet.

Mounting in a quad cab can get tricky if you want to run 12's as there arent alot of options. Right now mine rear seat is flipped up and the subs are mounted inverted in hatchback style boxes. It looks alright but really isnt practical.

This is what Im going to build as a more permanent set up:

My advice would be to go with 10's so you can use a JL stealthbox and keep your rear seat.

 

Hey were did you get the Stealth Box ? I don't like the box I have and would love to try somthing else. I have 2 PPI 10inch subs.

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

Stealth box eh??? Sounds like a thought. Not familiar with that product. I'll look for it at some stereo shops.

10" would be fine, not looking for heart stopping thump. More of a prescence of sound with a little thump when you want it would be fine.

 

got mine at local stereo shop in logan ut. retailed for 800 paid 580 from a good freind that works there. it comes ready to plug n play.

 

my current stereo set up consists of a kenwood excelon x859 cd player, 2 pairs of cerwin vega IT6.02 component speakers, 2 elemental designs E8A 8" subwoofers, an RW audio ld6.6m line driver, and 2 soundstream rubicon 702 amps

I put in a 4" rear seat riser and built a box/amp rack ..................I need to cover it with carpet this summer when it warms up

I'm running two 10" JL W-3's in a downfire box that fits "snug" under your rear seat. RF 800wt amp pushing. Only thing is that the box slides forward after a while and also gives NO foot room for rear-seat passengers (I just make em ride in the bed!!!!)

I'm running an Alpine 9807 head unit with Polk Components up front powered by an alpine amp with Pioneer 2 ways in the rear. I've also got 2 Audiobahn 12" 450w RMS subs under the back seat powered by an Audiobahn 1500w mono ch amp. I'm getting ready to upgrade the subs to 700w RMS.

 

hmmmm, I guess I'm just not being creative enough with my box location and size


Do you guys get decent soud out of boxes that are small enough to actually fit in that tiny space under the seat?

 

Eclipse head unit, 4 way 6x9s, components up front, 2-12in. JL Audios under the rear seat (no lift) powered by an American Pro 1600 watt amp. The funny thing is I listen to mostly country . Its nice to be able to crank it up when I want to though .

I built a custom box and have the back seat on 4" spacers. My subs sound awesome.

 

(2) 12w7's with JL slash amps in my truck Xr 3 ways in front and 2 ways in rear. Center seat has JL stealth box. Alpine tv screen head unit xbox ans cd/dvd changer.

 

That sure is a paltry excuse for a stereo. Skrawny lil 12" subs.

 

What's that I can't hear you EH?
