Ok, so this past week I rewired the stereo amplifier wires.. I also painted the speaker grills on the rear doors. They look SO Much better. I painted them black which matches the truck a little better. Think I like them black... Not sure how to paint the front yet. The BOSE part doesn't look like it is a sticker so I have to be creative with it.
The kicker speakers are way more sensative than the stock BOSE speakers...
Took my 6 channel amp (2x100, 4x35) and bridged the two lower channels (makes 2x70) to power up the speakers.
This gives me 100watts on each front and 70 on each rear. The subs are powered off the back channels and running 250 per side. Only one sub is currently hooked up because I think the second one is blown. Still kicks pretty well with only 1 10" though.
Having the BOSE amplifier gone really makes a huge difference. The main amplifier I am using is a high quality amp and I have to say, I can't imagine those BOSE speakers had that decent of highs before. I have very little midbass right now...
Still using the under seat box.. Not very fond of it but it is what I have for now...
I have the rear channels turned way down until I can replace the front speakers...
I have a plan for the front speakers now anyhow. I will install the 3 way cross over for the diamond audio speakers I have. I will try installing the 4" and 6" in the door and the tweeters in the A pillars where the factory ones go. If the 6" are blown as I fear they might be I will replace them with the 6" HART sub woofers I have that will give me lots of midbase. With the 4" speakers to fill in the area between the 6" subs and the tweeters it should sound decent. Just not sure if the front will be balanced with that setup until I try it. May have to put in an eq to adjust the front setup. If I do that then I will likely move the subs to the front channels. I HAVE a PPI 30 channel eq... Nothing like going old school... Since the main amp is old school anyhow...
Probably won't do much more on the truck right away. Still haven't switched the HID's over to the VLED for the fogs yet.
I have to finish out the semester before I do much more on this truck...
