    Whose truck is this?

    It's not sound deadening, its about controlling resonances...an Escalade would need the same treatment at this level

    Dynamat on floor and doors really make a big difference

    I would focus on doors, back wall, then floors in that order. Remember, deadener simply tames resonances...does not sound proof. Yes the cab will be quieter, but yes you will still hear tires, you will hear exhaust etc...hopefully you will NOT hear rattles from certain frequencies. Deadener...

    Sub Upgrade JL $3439 vs Pioneer $339

    Keep it simple...get a couple decent 10's and a affordable 1000 watt amp and call it done. The subwoofers and enclosure are the most important pieces.....power is cheap these days, buy a 1000 watt mono amp for a few hundred bucks

    GEN 2 Info or opinions on component setups

    Do not run rears full range, rear fill is mid range only. I'd start at 350hz-5000hz to start, then squeeze them in from there...trial and error. I also usually run a very shallow slope around 6db...because what's the point of a steep slope with no transition to another speaker?? For time...

    GEN 1 I Finished My Sytem

    Nice! What are your crossover points? Wouldn't the twk88 be better for crossover duties than the Alpine Amps?

    Sound Deadening

    You're gonna need a decoupler between your CLD titles and your MLV....Closed cell foam works great. The MLV needs to be decoupled in order to "block sound" Also, if there are any resonances left over, IF the MLV is in direct contact with the resonances, the resonances will pass through the MLV...

    Car speaker time alignment

    Are you using test tones or music? Use test tones. Also, level matching the front speakers can shift your stage right or left...make sure you are level matched. Don't over think time alignment...make measurements to your ears, set them accordingly and the rest of your imaging should be done...

    2012 dsp suggestions for stereo upgrade

    I just finished my system install a few months ago...the PAC will solve the issue and yes the Sony amp is sabotaging the sound quality. I'd highly recommend an aftermarket HU simply for peace of mind...I have tested factory HU's that SEEMED to have a clean signal. Once an aftermarket HU was...
