Have you installed the base yet?

Great looking truck, I just picked up an 18 STX, same but magnetic. I am about to order a 6" lift, 20x9.5 and Toyo tires, curious how much your setup impacted the 'take off' or driving around town with the 2.7 Ecoboost. Wondering if I will need to improve the performance to compensate for the larger wheels/tires.

thanks in advance...

Thanks. You will notice a difference but it isn’t bad at all. It’s still quick and responsive and definitely not enough of an issue where you HAVE to get a tune.

Man, your truck is beautiful! I do have a question on the RF speakers. Your link (shows a 2 way) for the 6x9 is different than your photo. Are both pairs you bought 3-way? I had no idea how cheap the RF was on Crutchfield, plus they give you adapter plates, wiring harnesses and free shipping, simply amazing.

Hmm, you know I never even noticed that before now, not sure why the stock photo is that way? But, yes, both are pair 3-way. Crutchfield is awesome for car audio. A local audio shop wants to do this same setup for $450.

Okay, thanks, I appreciate it! I have always heard good things about RF. Now I need to decide if adding a small 4-channel amp is worth the install hassle. How much better does it actually sound now?
