Default Audio Upgrade


Got my truck a month ago and looking to upgrade my stock 7 speaker system with Sync 3 and 8" screen. I've read that I can get the harness custom made and door panel covers from Hush which I'm planning to purchase.

Want to use Forscan to make the output line level, but wasn't sure if that will make me need to have another amp for the rear speakers or not? Will be running a PDX V9 (100x4, 500x1). Looking at running an older Diamond Hex component set with active crossovers and one channel per mid/tweet.

Spoke with Sundown today and with that wattage and me wanting to use a Fox Box, they said the best option was an SA10 Classic in their single ported box.

Not sure what I'll replace the rear speakers with, but open to suggestions. And any tips that would save me grief would absolutely be welcomed.

I tried to PM Hush, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't let me. Maybe not enough posts? If you can contact me, I'd really appreciate it.

You need 5 posts before you can PM, or someone can PM you. So start posting!

That's what I figured. Spoke with Bruce today. He lives about 20 minutes from me. Will be able to pick up everything personally. Have to love that.

Will be a while before I start, but ordered the box and the SA10 today. Will post pics as I go.

They are stock 2020 Raptor rims (17x8.5) with 285/70/17's. They are just under 33".

If you like the look, I have a set of 2019 Sport rims (18.x7.5) that I'm looking to sell. Same basic rim, but an inch narrower. Also have stock highway tires. Where are you located?

If youre planning on running outboard amps, consider strongly getting a parrot 11ck, it'll make integration from the ACM much easier and cleaner
