Default 2013 f150 stereo upgrade

I just got done with my 2nd upgrade on my 2013 f150 . My first on a 08 was easy.
This one not so much. I decided if I was gonna do it I would do it right and after lots of research on here and seeing the Metra kit I knew I was keeping the factory head unit.so me and my buddy started removing everything inside the truck,my wife was not happy,
Then we sprayed on lizard skin,everything got it, floor,roof,inside the door panels,and so on that was fun to say the least.then came the wiring for the lcq1 and the phenox gold 5 channel amp.the stinger 9 wire wire made it pretty easy to run that along with the bass control. We put in focal expert ps 165 up font and focal in 570 in the back the tweeters we put in the original spot. We then installed dynamat to all 4 doors.then we put all back together,I would say we have about 12 hrs into it and the results are seller it sounds amazing and my wife is happy, she likes her music loud. I forgot to mention I put a jl cp208lg sub in it and it hits hard and loud.ill post pics when I figure out how
Just like to say thanks to all that have posted on here it really helped
