2022 GMC Sierra 2500 build

[Mcvolvo]

Hi everyone, first post. New here. I have some nice JL audio gear and I'm repurposing most of it in this truck. Want opinions on my gear choices. I listen to metal and my wife listens to country (ok, I'll admit it, I do too a bit). Here's the build list
2022 GMC 2500 crew cab
Retaining factory Head unit
Metra DSP
JL HD 900/5
JL C5 6.5 with Audiofrog GB15 up front dash
JL C2 coax in rear
JL 10w3 in an accurate, sealed box under rear seat.

Shop that's installing is positive on the metra for tuning, simplicity, etc. I am willing to try it... Thoughts on that plus audiofrog gb15 with JL C5. Thoughts?

You don’t need tweeters. You’ll like the sound better without them. You already have coax speakers. No need for all them highs. Save your money. Trust me.

Welcome. You said it is repurposed gear so I assume you had it installed in another vehicle? If yes, was the listening experience good? I quite enjoy JL gear for it is easy to get good sound out of it. I have never owned their speakers so no long term knowledge of their sound signature. I have however used their amps and subs with different speaker brands and have always been pleased by the clarity.
So seeing you have the C5s and Audiofrog tweeters, I know you should have an awesome sound. As for the Metra interface, it should suffice. Plenty of good ratings on their gear.
