Whats an easy sound system upgrade?

Found these budget Speaker box from MTI Acoustics.. they have several type of enclousres for our seats (behind or below).

All Enclosures

You will still need a Zen unit if you just want to add subwoofers to our stock BO System.

you cant use the zen module if you are just adding a subwoofer. the zen unit is designed to remove the oem amplifier. it only works when replacing the entire audio system.

I have a friend with 500k in 5 different vehicles....10K is NOTHING. It adds up soooo fast.

Let's see..mine top of my head

Gately Enclosure $1500
Gately 8" subs...400 each....times 4
Zen $800
Sundown Audio SALT 200.4 $750
Sundown Audio SALT-4 $1400
JL Audio C3's $500
Sundown Audio 6.5 Neo Pros $200
112ah Lithium Battery $2000
$500 in wire

Then up until yesterday I had another bass setup that was two Sundown Audio 12" ZV5 subs that were almost a grand each and an enclosure for them that was a grand. Also a Sundown Audio SALT-6 that I had on them. But if I want to keep the seats in and get the bass I want I need to do a blow-through with an enclosure similiar to this which I'm sure is a $5000 enclosure not counting the subs and amps of course.

Where did you fit this? Killer components! I’ve been so close to pulling the trigger on the Gately 4 8” enclosure and subs and their 5700 w amp. Just don’t want to install in the 23 37 truck and then have to pull it out if the r i ordered actually gets built. Also wanted to install focal component speakers when I did it all. What is your impression on the Gately equip vs MTI Accoustics or other big players.

That would be an awesome set-up! If you want to save some money get a SALT-4 and run it at .5 on four Sundown Audio DVC 4ohm X8's. My thought process was if I am going underseat I want to have quality equipment. You can only do so much with that airspace. I don't think anything MTI puts out is going to touch the Gately enclosure with the Gately Relentless subs in terms of BASS. The Sundown Audio X8's are also VERY impressive. Everything to my knowledge they run is on stock electrical and there isn't much chance of running these four 8's on stock electrical if run with the correct amount of power. 99% of their set-ups are for people who want great sound and good bass on stock electrical. When 90% of their customers want no more than this, that's the market. Now I have not heard all the MTI set-ups but by going off numbers that's my opinion as ignorant as it may be. It really all boils down to how much bass is enough for you and what are willing to sacrifice for more. I'd love a blow-through but I use my bed, I do not use my back seat. I am however about to pull my seat again and go with two 15" Sundown Audio Zv6's on a Sundown Audio SALT-8 at .5 as soon as my new custom enclosure is built. With the amp you mentioned I would go with Headway Lithium, 56ah should be good. This is based off our charging system voltage. Will look like this and you can mount it in the bed easily if you have a waterproof cover. You WILL need electrical upgrades with that amp. There is a plastic cover just under the rear passengers feet on either side to run wires into the cab. Zero gauge OFC of course

Turn the sound up.

I had a local shop build a custom box for behind the seats - I went with a Kicker Comp RT 10, wired to 1 ohm with a passive radiator, Kicker CXA800.1, and LC2i PRO. It's perfect - hit's hard inside, but don't hear the bass rattling from outside.

I don't know how to drop the other seat down, but behind the middle seat is the Kicker Comp RT10 - that's a picture of the passive radiator.

Had a great experience with the guys at SoundsGoodStereo, Don, Sage andNathan; took my 23 Raptor up there to Nashville and got the Stealth Plus system installed , subwoofer amp and door sound treatments and very happy with the result , they do a good job!

Check this one out… probably not cheap, but I’m sure it improve the sound quality. Sound quality in the raptor is actually not that great.

I’m spoiled because my wife has a new jeep grand Cherokee L with the McIntosh sound system in it. I thought maybe McIntosh had sold out. No way! It is the best Soundsystem I’ve ever heard in an automobile. I’m talking amazing high-quality sound… Not bass blasting crap but true sound as if you were there.

Here is the YouTube link to what looks like a pretty cool new Soundsystem for the raptor.
