lol, many different ways to approach adding bass to the unleashed. Here are the options we believe deliver what customers are looking for. Be sure to use the Year/Make/Model/Etc to narrow down the options.
Did you leave the signal processor attached to the rear seat rack or did you just use it to tune the system? When using Zen, do you have to leave the oem amp in place or does it replace it entirely?

Also, does your speaker adapters attach to the oem speaker wires and the to the crossover?

Yes, all of our plug-and-play systems including the stealth packages work with the Power Pro pack. We just need to know so we can configure the amplifier rack correctly. Behind the rear seat, you will see a vent tube that runs from this battery to the rear c-pillar.

Regarding performance, space makes bass, not the size of the woofer. If you are willing to sacrifice under seat space, our enclosure which we have years in development will deliver across the board on performance. The behind-the-seat setup is great, but not a high-output package. It delivers more than anything else that actually fits behind the seat, but will not compare to double internal airspace enclosures.

What always stands out from our enclosure is the frequency range. Our enclosure will play well into the lowest spectrum of music (30hz) where as other enclosure manufacturers tend to leave this range off the table. Our team is all about the music, and the performance. Having a stereo system delete part of your favorite song is not what we are about.
Thanks. Yep I’m aware it’s space that matters and a big ported box is right up my alley. I’m also familiar w the sundown 6.5s and have always wanted them lol.

Would you recommend a plug and play passive system or could you modify one (Focal Access for example) for a little more Arc amp power vs focal amp etc and slightly degraded rear speakers to lower costs? I assume the tune is already known for the system setup as is.

Last, I assume the amp board and subs could run with stock speakers to be upgraded later?

Really like the concept you guys have done with a custom install shipped to my door. Now to just find some more money after all the other mods (oh and paying for that little truck bill lol).

For the subwoofer only, you will retain the factory amplifier (Mount on the rear of the amplifier rack) to power the interior speakers. When you go to a full plug-and-play system, the ZEN is utilized as it replaces the factory amplifier and we are using a new amplifier to run the interior speakers.

Our speaker adapters utilize factory mounting locations and if you choose the "Complete Kit", it includes the wiring so it's plug-and-play into the factory wiring. It also includes some other items to ensure proper installation.

If you are going with the behind-the-seat, the options a very limited on electronics. On the underseat setup, we can get very creative with the electronics and put something together for you. Each package is tuned in the truck, individually, so if we mix/match, that is perfectly fine as long as we are comfortable with the mix. We are tuning it, so we want to be sure it all meshes well together.

Send me a PM with a budget and I will put something together for you. Also, all of the items are priced for just the gear itself, so no labor markups. You can a la carte everything out (Arc Amp Rack, Underseat Subs, Focal Speaker Kits, Sound Treatment Package, etc). Just run it by us just so we can be sure it makes sense on the mix/match

Awesome. Let me get a budget together after wheels, bedcover, lp4 lights, etc lol. I think stereo before bumper though, only because of how slick you’ve made this!

You carry sundown amps by any chance too? I’ve had good luck w them and am not an audiophiles ear. Focal midrange w sundown, or DD etc amps have sounded awesome to me and don’t bust the bank. I’d love the full mosconi but know I can’t hear that much lol.

For our packages, we only offer Mosconi, Arc Audio, and Focal. Just from a reliability standpoint, we have 10+ years with each of these amplifiers and companies. Our confidence in the quality, reliability, and consistency allows us to offer these packages as we do. If you are local to us, we could guinea pig with your truck, but not when we are shipping you the system.

Let us know when you are ready and the bumper can wait :)

Wish I was close.

Good deal, all brands I’ve used and like (except Mosconi but would love to have the budget… or McIntosh). I’ll PM you some ideas.

My case is quite complicated. Just received my R to Orlando, where it will be built with tons of parts and then it will be shipped to overseas. Only to get the Raptor R has been such a long process. Which means I need to order parts, install some myself (in Orlando) and have professional to do the rest. Anyway, I'm putting together a list of parts that I need for you and will place an order soon. Still trying to learn few details.

All updates that can be done oem amp still attached, I will try to complete myself. I have done numerous soundproofing projects myself and did build Gen1 Audio system entirely myself. Wasn't quite professional level, so better leave the hard part for the Props ;-)

So basically I will do the doors myself before the truck is shipped and have all needed parts inside the truck so that a local shop can complete here in Finland.

I see all your builds you are using the tiles inside the door. Do you only use the tiles only or do you first use blackhole mat and on top the blackhole tiles?

When using your door speaker connectors that utilize the oem wiring, which way the connecting wires connect to the crossover (front) or directly to speakers (rear)?

I'm planning to use MOSCONI PRO1|10 for the subs, but what MASCONI PRO series would you recommend for the front, rear and center?

Lot's of questions. Thank you for the help!

Sounds like a good idea and glad you are finally receiving the truck! I'm sure it was a process.

I see all your builds you are using the tiles inside the door. Do you only use the tiles only or do you first use blackhole mat and on top the blackhole tiles?

We use Tiles instead of the 3-layer sound treatment. Here is a walk-through video on the different levels we do

When using your door speaker connectors that utilize the oem wiring, which way the connecting wires connect to the crossover (front) or directly to speakers (rear)?
In our higher end systems, we are using a DSP instead of passive crossovers. So it's all done electronically. If you are using passive crossovers, we recommend to never put them inside a door panel. Mount them behind the rear seat away from moisture, vibration and potential noise pickup.

I'm planning to use MOSCONI PRO1|10 for the subs, but what MASCONI PRO series would you recommend for the front, rear and center?

That's tough, we typically run two 5-channel amplifiers for the entire system. To add a center channel, we add a 2-channel for the center.
Here is a typical 3-way active setup rack:

Here is a video of an "Elevated" package which includes a center channel.

Lot's of questions. Thank you for the help!
You're Welcome :)

I already have my doors treated and also have bought your door block off plates. Do the tiles help more than your standard sound treatment? I have 2 way full active set up with Focal Flax Series.

It will not be as drastic as a difference as adding the block-off plates, but at higher volumes, you will benefit from the tiles in the doors. We notice it more when we run 300wrms+ to the midbass drivers.
