Haha thanks. It's an expensive list... How do you like the pw6's? It doesn't necessarily have to be small but I'm trying to keep most of the stuff hidden. I might be able to put both amps the 5500 and 1100.4 under the back seat with a lift as I seen clpeller do with one dc amp under his. Yeah I figured caps weren't great, but some say they help lol just checking.


Should I put the tweets in the space just forward of the door handle or in triangle piece above it with the vent? Is there a better tweet to choose between the FT1 and RTS-1 or others? Probably ones that do better off axis that on, so its not so directional?

Hmm looks like I may be going the CT sounds route, I'll let ya know.

How do you take out the bracket that's under the rear seat. The box I have fits under to back seat but it cant be installed without removing the bracket that's under the back seat on the passenger side.

KBZ_F150

I wouldn't suggest removing any brackets. But if you decide you want to you have to remove the seats from the back wall then remove the seat from the brakets, remove the bracket you want and put it all back. You're talking about the 09+ F150's? I would just order a seat lift kit from lmi welding if you want room under your seat. I'm having trouble understanding how you're running into the bracket as it is a flat floor and the brakets are up out of the way on the ledge that you shouldn't be able to fit a box anyway. But I can't see your set up so I don't know.

Oh and here's an update. Gonna make a build thread for both my f150's. Bought a '13 raptor to go with my '11 fx4 so my audio plans have changed. I'll link the threads to this one once I get them up. Already have some pics and most of the parts.

Hey what do you guys think about the ms-8 from JBL? I will be using the stock hu in the raptor as it is integrated with the climate controls. I need something to be able to tune my sound. The stock hu only has bass mid treble fader and balancer.

The MS8 is s great unit. Definitely overkill for most folks. 99% of people won't use 10% of the abilities of that unit

I've heard the 360.3 has issues keeping it's memory. Tune for hours and then lose it all, no thanks. Probably go with the ms8.

I need some help with setting this all up correctly and in the correct order.

I have the stock head unit, a 4channel amp, and 1 mono amp. I would like to use the factory locations for the tweets and mids up front so I need to find tweets that will fit in that spot. I need to find a replacement center speaker as well and find out how I would hook that up. I am assuming all I need to bring this all together would be the ms-8? Should I have a separate amp for the tweets? Going to put tweets and mids in the back doors too so there will be 4 6.5" mids and 4 tweets and 2 subs. So yeah any light shed on how I would hook this up best would be awesome. Know if the crescendo rts tweets would fit? I am trying to put this is the 2013 raptor with the premium sony sound system.

The MS8 has a built in 20x8 amplifier. That will be plenty for the tweeters as well as the center channel so you wont need amps for those. Youll probably need a 1 inch tweeter for the pillars. I dont run any rear speakers in any of my systems. If you feel the need to, I would spend good money on the front stage and buy inexpensive coaxials for the rear. I really wish I could afford an MS8 to play with

Your MS8 has 8 channels
If I was doing it I would run the tweeters and the mids off of the 4 channel amp and the center channel off of the MS8 amp

channel 1-r tweeter
channel 2-l tweeter
channel 3-r mid
channel 4-l mid
channel 5-mono sub
channel 6-center

with rear speakers

channel 1-r tweeter off of MS8 amp
channel 2-l tweeter off of MS8 amp
channel 3-r mid off of 4 channel amp
channel 4-l mid off of 4 channel amp
channel 5-r rear off of 4 channel amp
channel 6-l rear off of 4 channel amp
channel 7-center off of MS8
channel 8-mono sub
