February 13, 201114 yr Author RF T1 652S & T152S came in a few days ago,Definitely one of the best component sets Ive owned, can't wait to install themI can't decide how im going to do this, i'm putting both of these in my front doors, i have little fiber glass experience and i don't want to be reupholstering my doors or anything Waiting on a lot of stuff to come in this coming week, i will keep the pics updated. Thinking about making a home depot run tomorrow Edited February 13, 201114 yr by RichyMitch925
February 13, 201114 yr im tuned in also, love builds in suv's. so much room to do whatever is needed.
February 13, 201114 yr looks like a great truck to start on. why put 6.5s and 5.25s in the front doors?
February 13, 201114 yr Author looks like a great truck to start on. why put 6.5s and 5.25s in the front doors?Im still debating about my front doors/ speaker setup honestly, im not sure what my plan is. I really dont want to fiberglass if i did maybe just a little portion, bc i dont want to get stuff upholstered . I like more stock appearing things. I'll know sooner or later, my budget is pretty free right now. If anyone has suggestions or ideas that would be kool
February 13, 201114 yr Well put one set of speakers in the front door and one set in the rear doors and call it a day. Otherwise your gonna have to do fiberglass work to your door and more than likely have to upholster it as well to get both component sets or mids to fit.
February 13, 201114 yr Author Yeah, im kind of liking doing it this way, and like only fiberglassin the grill pieces. It looks like 2 6.5s will easily, looks like im ordering another set! But yeah i like how this guy did his http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/5585/dscf2231m.jpg
