Few months back I traded my BMW for a 2015 Lariat with ecoboost, this is my first truck ever and really happy with it.
I was kinda underwhelmed with the Sony sound system upgrade and started off by swapping out the stock speakers with Infiniti Kappa's at a local audio shop.

I found the Infiniti speakers to be too bright to my liking and decided to overhaul the entire setup, I read through this forum and started by disabling the engine noise at the dealership. After reading through various car audio forums I decided to go with a 3 way active setup with midbass and midrange in the door location and tweeter at stock location in A pillar.
This was done at a great audio shop in Albuquerque.

Here is the list of what was done:

Front 3 way components: Audison Voce 6.5 inch woofer, 3 inch mid-range and tweeter
Processor:Helix DSP
Sub: Sundown SD3-10
Amp(front stage):Arc Audio XDi1200.6
Amp(Sub):Phoenix Gold Mono block.

So far really happy with this setup. Attaching few pictures.

Hi, nice setup! I too have a 2015 Lariat with the Sony system, as well as, nav and sync. How well do the sounds of the trunk i.e. door chimes, nav voice, phone, other? sound through this system? I mean, do they sound normal, not over powered so to speak? Hope this is making since...

The nav voice and phone is normal it comes through the speaker. The backup chime I believe is coming through a small speaker located near steering and not through door speakers.

Just wondering what you did with the rear speakers? Center?

Thanks,

The center is disconnected. The fade is set all the way forward so the rears are basically turned off.

How is the staging with the midrange in the door?

Kraken

Staging is pretty good, the vocals feel like they are coming from the dash. May be because the midrange is ankled a bit higher towards the cabin.
Ideally I would have liked to have the midrange in the dash or A pillar, but I decided to keep the stock look just incase I want to change the vehicle later.
I feel like I didn't lose much in this setup.
