Ok so just ordered everything;

JL Audio FIX86

JL Audio HD750/1 AMP

JL Audio HD600/4 AMP

FOCAL 6.5 PS165FX

FOCAL 6.5 PC165F

What does everyone think?

good components but it's all going to depend upon who's doing the work and setup/tuning.
The Fix86 is a good basic processor but if you have the B&O or the Sony (depending upon year and trim level) then I'd look at an AudioControl DM-810 or a BitOne. Either will allow you to keep all your channels the way they are now - and even bi-amp your front components rather than use the crossovers.

I haven't installed a system in over 10 years, so I'm letting my stereo shop
{ Advanced Car Creations } do the install, they have been a family owed business for over 20 years with a great reputation. Its a 2017 so Sony, I'll run it by them to see what they say.

seeing how i'm no expert I very much appreciate the input and suggestions.

A guy at my stereo shop said they did the JL Fix 86 and JL tweak and dialed a 17 in and worked out really well.

use the PAC converter and the Mosconi processor. Hopefully they know how to tune because these trucks aren't easy to get tuned. JL aint what they used to be. just my .02

I picked up my truck yesterday and it sounds amazing, only thing i need to do is have the dealer turn off the motor sound.

Just not into Forscan, i guess I just haven't had a need?

Who knows maybe this will be the need?

Ok so the DM-810 takes the signal from the head unit and bypasses the stock Sony amp and stock wiring. That would really be the cleanest sounding way to go?
