I’m starting this thread to document the process of setting up a sound system in my Ram truck.
From a previous thread, I’ve determined that an Adire Brahma is the way to go on a sub. The rest is making my head spin. I’ve gone back and forth, hither and yon and I’m more unsure than ever.
I like CDT, but all the options are confusing and I don’t know what I’m looking at. I need to start with the components and work from there. Going to set an arbitrary budget for the comps at about $1000. The doesn’t include any wiring, etc. Just the speakers.
If you had $1000 budget to spend at CDT for Components, what would you choose?
Factory locations are as follows:
1. Rear door: 5.25”, but 6.5” will fit
2. Front door: 6x9”, but have been told to avoid oval shapes for SQ. That would mean a 6.5”
2a. Also for the front door, I can add a tweeter in a pod to keep separate Comps to improve SQ.
3. Dash has 3.5” openings on the left and right side and a 2.5” in the center.
4. Other options: sub will likely go in a custom center console enclosure firing down, so it’s possible that comps could be incorporated into that.
My thoughts, which are pretty worthless, in the same numerical order by location as above:
1. Some sort of 6.5 for the rear door
2. A 6.5 in the factory front door location and a tweeter in an angled pod on the sail
3. 3.5” in the dash (if deemed necessary)
It asked for a build photo, so here it is:
