Hey guys, my system has been in storage for almost 1 year sense I traded my old truck in for my new 2014 Crew Cab GMC with BOSE audio. I just didn't know if I should install my system on my new truck because I didn't want it to start to rattle all over.
But here I am ready to have it installed.
I have:
2 Digital Designs 9512s Subs
1 Digital Designs M3b amp for Subs
1 Digital Designs C4c for highs
1 giant box that will be discarded
1 Battery
And all the wires needed.
The shop I plan to use (the only one that deals with DD Brand close by) ran by Michael Jones... from what I hear he has won multiple Sound Competitions and his shop is... according to their website "top 100 shops"
They tell me I should get a Bed Cut. But I want to do my research on how to make it better... Or should I just give them my credit card and have them do what ever they do?
I want Sound Quality!! I am also sick of spending money on Car audio... Im truly not into the Car Audio scene.. I just had extra cash and now I just want to get it done and finished and never buy another system for YEARS... BUT I want it DONE RIGHT.
So is a Bed Cut a good Idea? The Plan is to have the box covered In Diamond Plating and Rinno line my entire bed and the box.
The Stock BOSE speakers on the truck **** plus they are not working correctly. I plan on replacing them with DD speakers but I am not sure wich ones I should get. I hear the "audiophile A series" are the best they make. True?
BTW I don't plan on getting an aftermarket stereo sense the Truck has all audio functions built into the touch screen.
Will my amps be enough? I hear that the 9512s can handle one m3b each. True?
Is the C4c amp enough for my highs?
Should I get a equalizer or that other thing everyone mentions... the name eludes me at the moment....oh yea an epicenter...
Should I get the box Ported or not?
Also I read that the box should house one speaker on a bigger space then the other so that each Sub responds to different sound frequencies or some crap like that.
I know I had all these things installed on my old truck. But it was a rush install at a crappy shop. I removed the back seat of my 2006 GMC and just placed the box there. Also had DD door speakers at that time with the C4c amp... But nothing was set up correctly and sounded quite bad to be honest.
I would like to keep my budget under $2000 (bed cut is 800 with out the diamond plating).. But I can stretch it to $3000 if I really need to.
