If your budget allows get a real DSP such as the JBL MS8, keep/upgrade your center channel spkr and stay with the 5.1 or bump to 7.1. I *think* your center channel is a 2" tweeter (cant imagine it being a full range driver). Depending on your fabrication skills there are allot of options.
Getting these trucks to stage/image properly is difficult and a full DSP with center channel spkr would certainly help significantly in this area.
Good suggestion; the MS-8 is an amazing piece of hardware. Digital time alignment, staging and imaging, 5.1 and 7.1 options, but very tedious to get right. Takes lots of listening time and a mic to get it perfect(took me several days before I go it sounding right). Typically, most processors take alot of the 30-7e0hz out of the mix, thus if you want more bass you have to go back in and recalibrate the system with crossovers changed. Alos, the slope takes some time to get correct. And one last comment: It only has a two channel input(which could be good or bad depending on your install)
If money isn't a concern, check out the Alpine C701 or PXA-H800. By far the best mid-grade processors on the market. The MS-8 is geared more towards keeping the factory HU.
If you want high end- audison bit one... i wont get into the rest
A buddy of mine was selling car audio in his shop and decided to stick to tint and bedliners. He had those cleansweep products left over and handed them to me. My system is done so I don't need them. That's why so cheap. That's why never used.

Also the center speaker is a full range 4".
Ok well pm me details on price and shipping and a few pictures please.
$625 + shipping and you can have my Audison BitOne. It about a month old - picked up a Pioneer DEX P99RS from someone here and have no need for the BitOne. One of the best DSPs on the market.
I dont have personal experience with the Cleansweep but understand its hit or miss - some like 'em some hate 'em. My buddy put one in his truck and he said it sounded like crap - moved it to his vette and it made a huge improvement.
I'll have to do some research on the bitone.. And the centre speaker is a full range 4" eh? Probably be a good idea to upgrade that speaker and run it off the oem hu probably make a huge difference With it in. Since I'm getting components for the doors I'll probably just get a coaxial set of 4" just have one spare I guess. Could leave the Sony 4" in there but I'd lose quality when I turned it up past half.
Well thank you very much for the input I will look into the LCQ-1. And did you have the premium system with the sub, any pics of the instal?
I have a few pics in the forums of the install.. here is the LCQ-1 installed. The subs are just like everyone else under back seat and everything looks stock and installed in OEM locations with the except of the tweeters for the front components. I have the tweets and mids installed in the stock location (ran out of speaker wire to run the tweets up the door separate). Once I moved the tweets up to the sails on the doors... HUGE difference in sound... really comes alive

Looks good man, but why have something you have to dial in manually when you can get something that does it for you and you tune it through the amps.. i dunno what are the advantages over the LCQ-1.. if i use that will i still keep all my stock features? i dunno just heard some really good things on the clean sweep setups how its very simple.. I dont want something to crazy as i said before iv been there had the compedition system and all that jazz i just want an easy install that just livens up the system. I get kicker, kenwood and Jl items for cost thats why i decided to go that way. But if the LCQ-1 is better ill go with it one item instead of 2 when right
What size are the actual Sony speakers in the truck guys? Are they 6x8 front and rear? And will 6.5" speakers fit with mounts easily with the door panel?
