All the products you got are top notch. Are you installing it? One thing I did not see on your list is Dynamat or the like. I am looking forward to installing my MTX amps and Polk MM speakers very soon. Good luck with your system.

Thanks and yes I am installing it all...

Dynamat is next on my list for sure. Want to see how it sounds without it first then test as I go. Thanks

Where are y'all mounting the amps?

It's just one dude doing the install.

Ok all. Thanks for all the help! I finished the install. I have about 20 hours into the install and tuning! Ran all new speaker wire through the truck and mounted the LCQ-1 in the center console for easy access. I mounted both amps under the passenger seat on a custom amp rack that (obviously) has the distribution block on it. It fits tight under the seat but works just fine... Subs sound amazing and they aren't broken in yet.

It was a pretty straight forward install, with my best tool being a coat hanger! Little blood loss in the doors from tying up the old speaker harness. That shizz it sharp!, I will take pics soon when it's light enough. Question and a further write up come. I'm worn out...

P.s. it's tough to finish a system install when you get a puppy the same day... New German pinscher... Named... Scotch.

Have a question about the LCQ-1. I got one as well and I'm getting my system installed in a couple days. Did you use the channel summing feature or just leave it separate? I'm wondering if the factory HU sends different frequencies to the front and rear speakers. I was kinda thinking about summing the front and rear channels just to make sure I'm getting a full range signal to all the door speakers, but that may not be necessary. I guess I could try it both ways and see if there's any noticeable difference in the sound. I'm really hoping the equalization options of the LCQ-1 help to dial in some better sound quality from the weak HU. Got a RF P400-4 to the door speakers and RF T600-4 bridged to send 300 watts to each of the 2 10" subs. Are you pleased with the sound quality from your upgrades?

I think you will be very pleased with your set up! Great stuff.

The LCQ-1 is amazing and allows you to have total control over the system.

I have not had the time yet to properly tune the system but love how it sounds already. I am currently not using the summing feature. I plan to try it both ways and see what sounds the best. Sorry I can't help more but it hold be easy to test.

Any finished install pics yet?? I am about to pull the trigger on a new system as well...

asutrent

Sorry it has takin me so long to take pictures... I decided that most of the system doesn't really need photos as the sub box is basic from super crew sound and the speakers are in the stock locations. The difference is where and how I mounted my LCQ-1...I mounted it in the center console and mad working on a false floor that will look OEM and hide the LCQ-1 from thievery... Haha



I also mounted the LCQ-1 bass **** and clipping led indicator on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. See pic.



Does this help?

I also switched over to a summing signal from the LCQ-1 and it seems to sound better... You do lose the ability to fade front or rear... But can't remember a time I have ever done this so it doesn't bother me.

Good to know. Thanks man. I'm getting my system installed today and I can't wait. I went ahead and moved the jumper to sum the front and rear channels. If I want to "fade" I'm assuming I can still adjust the output to the front and rear channels separately on the LCQ-1 even though the input signal is being summed.
