Jumping on the JL audio band wagon. After several weeks of research I am convinced that JL is one of the best companies out there when it comes to mobile audio. Yes, their products are expensive, but you also get what you pay for.

I have purchased the following to upgrade my SCrew and integrate with the factory system, since I want to keep my Nav and Sync:
1-JL stealthbox with 13" 600w rms sub.
2-JL slash 500/1v2, class D 500w amp to power the sub.
3-JL C2-570, 60w rms speakers for all 4 doors.
4-JL slash 300/4v2, 300w 4 channel amp to feed the door speakers.
5-JL C2-075 CT tweeters for the pillars.
6-JL CL-SSI signal summing interface.
7-JL CL441dps cleansweep interface.
8-Dynamat to install in the doors while their apart.
9-JL Dual amp wiring kit.
10- 1/0 cable and termimals for Big 4 upgrade.
11- 16 and 12 speaker wire.
12- 4 channel and 2 channel RCA cables for connections to amps.
13-odds and ends to make install go smoother.

I could probably get away without upgrading the Big 4 since our electrical systems were designed to handle that kind of amperage, but if I ever wanted to add a light bar, fog lights, etc, I would be screwed. So, might as well do it and be prepared for the future. Will upgrade battery pos to alternator, battery neg to chassis, engine to frame, and engine to battery neg. Will be using tinned 5145 strand 1/0 AWG kollosus fleks cable. This should set me up with the best possible current flow with minimal resistance.

Will have to postpone the install until next week (my daughter needs the truck to take to prom), but I will keep all posted on my progress.

Sounds nice--I used a couple of the JL subs in my build. Both are still sounding great--even put a lot more power to them than what they are rated for. Nothing would compare to the door speakers I went with esp wanting to keep the front speakers under 1k Focal K2 Power KRX3 get 250 each side and will hurt you!


Make sure to seal up everything good when the Dyno goes in... Stuff works great but takes a long time to put in correctly..
