Speakers replacements

[Scooter M'Gee]

I didn't want to tear a bunch of the rear apart. Adding more bass to the rear panel was not going to fly with the....rattles, vibration and such. I upgraded the dash speakers to Kicker DS 4"ers and did the SSV rear pods with Kicker CS 6.5"ers. I left the kick panel OE speakers alone. I then added the plug-n-play 200 watt Beat-Sonic amp for the speakers. Fit like a glove under the steering shaft. I then added in an Alpine PWE-SB10 powered sub and pulled the fuse for the OE sub amp/speaker. I used a cargo net to hold the sub in place so I call pull it out if needed. Made a VERY noticeable upgrade in both sound quality and volume. I did nothing with FORscan for the rear pod speakers.

I like the idea of having a sub enclosure that isn’t taking up the whole cargo space and can be easily removed. I went with a downfiring shallow kicker enclosure with two 12” Kicker L7’s. But yeah, I’ve wasted a lot of money figuring things out. It’s definitely a journey. I have kicker KS series for the 4”, the kick panels, and 6.5” pods all powered by a Musway M6 Pro DSP. Couldn’t be happier with the Musway. Then 1200 watt kicker amp for the 12’s and kicker 500.1 for a 10” sub in a 3d printed enclosure replacing the factor sub.

Ended up buying two pairs of the Audison Prima 4" coax. Had a good deal from my CC co: Spend $350+ on ABT and get $200 back. Also got $25 the first order. Those look easy enough to do myself.

The 6.5" pods are tempting, but I decided to keep the stock pods + get the same 4 speakers front and rear.

So phase 2 will be an amp and install the sub that I pulled out of my last vehicle: A single JL 12" in a down firing sealed box. Might be temtped to get a tailgate 10" or something else that won't take up storage space. Though the box I have will work decent storage wise: down facing and all black carpet. So if I have to put cargo on top, it won't hurt the sub. Probably not the correct decision sound wise, but I do already own it. So 0 cost.

I'll decide when I get the amp installed if I also want to have them replace the kick panel speakers in front. I watched a couple youtube videos and that looks like a pain to do. Seems like an awful place to put mids or highs anyway, at your ankles.

Why 4 coax when OE is two 4" coax and three more 4" woofer in center and pods? Gonna be very harsh....
