So begins the B&O Delete. I'm bummed, honestly. I bought a Lariat as I didn't want to touch the truck beyond a few basics and the premium SONY sound in my wife's Expedition is tolerable. Well, the B&O is garbage and i couldn't take it anymore. I ordered:
(Qty. 2) JL AUDIO 99022 – C3-650
(Qty. 2) JL AUDIO 92193 – 10TW3-D8
(Qty. 1) JL AUDIO 98632 – VX1000/5i
(Qty. 1) JL AUDIO 98128 – DRC-205
(Qty. 1) JL AUDIO 90346 – Roll of Power
(Qty. 1) JL AUDIO 90350 – Roll of Ground
(Qty. 1) JL AUDIO 90258 – Fiber Optic Cable
(Qty. 2) JL AUDIO 90364 – Distribution Block
(Qty. 2) JL AUDIO 90461 – Fuse Distribution
(Qty. 1) ZEN Module
I was looking into the stealth boxes and the 13" was a little low on power while the (2) 12" was perfect but wired for 4ohm - i needed 2ohn for the VX1000 to really shine so i ordered the (2) 10s in D8 to accommodate this. My installer said the enclosure would be a piece of cake.
I got everything but the subs so i got the truck to my guy to get started. First step, clean it up and deaden my soda-can doors.
As you can see from the above, he deadened the inside of the door and the outside of the door, then build panels and sealed them to enclose the door and deadened the panels.
Next up, threw the speakers in and added the soundmat foam to the outside to seal the speakers to the door panel ensuring no loss into the door:
Next up: Tweaters.
Amp Rack, distribution blocks and ZEN:
Wiring power and ground to the battery because tin-can truck.
That's all for now. I am still waiting on the subwoofers and was told they could be "several months" but my buddy had time to get it in and get it started so i wasn't going to waste any time.
Next up, finish wiring and Sub Enclosure.

Man, almost EXACTLY what I'm planning on doing. Well documented! Appreciate that! Is your guy running new speaker wire to all locations? Or using the factory lines where possible? Oh, and you doing the subs under the rear seat, or behind?

Same.... I have the 2 sets of C3-650, 10W3v3-2 and HD900/5 in my Ram and haven't looked back. I'll never run anything else than JL now. I'm excited for the ZEN/Fiber interface. It's supposedly ZERO loss and the VXi with integrated DSP.
No, I did that in my old STI. Ran from the head unit out then conviced myself it would be worth the effort to run new wire and did it with zero measurable difference. Swore I'd never do it again as it was a nightmare. He's way more on the up n' up than i am (relative to the new tech in this industry) and he said it was a waste. Coming from the guy that deadened the quietest truck I've owned... if he said it's not necessary i take him at his word, lol

Sorry, missed this. There's nowhere near enough room for the amount of sub i wanted to put them behind. Amps/modules behind and sub goes under the back in place of my locking storage. Bummed to lose that but it'll be worth it.
Great looking project - what shop is doing the work - I am close by and looking for someone to do similar project on mine.
Thanks
WHAT IS THIS?
It's an invoice for window tint, including the windshield.

I can hook you up with them if you'd like - amazing work. They're busy with a few of my other firends for the next couple weeks. Good stereo shops are so hard to find - once you find one, you keep them busy haha.

We got a new toy at the shop today!
I'm excited to see what happens next....
Let the mods begin!!!!
Are these progressive rate springs? Seems like a lot of dead coils there.
Very cool to see Carli branching out. If you guys can maintain the same customer service and products you will be unstoppable!!!! It’s starting to make sense why you guys needed to expand. I hope you guys kill it in the bronco world. I’m not sure if it’s possible but, it would be really cool if you bring the same ease of entry to top of the line from the Superduty to the bronco. I definitely see a eventure setup coming very soon! Best of luck!!!

Agreed - Still waiting on the sub box. My shop insisted on doing it "over the top" so there's laser cut logos and lighting with paint matched accents or something. Should be worth the wait. I'll post final pictures when it's done.
They are progressive and none of the coils are dead. There are a few things that make up spring rate, pitch being one of them. The initial rate is light so the coils are close but still open at ride height.
That's the plan! We'll see how it all comes to fruition.
