[QUOTE="MattRobPhoto, post: 1439040, member: 36517"] UPDATE: Well, Kinda.... So, a mentioned above I sound deadened the CRAP out of all the doors! I did the most outside metal of the door by working and rolling through the access holes on the inner shell. I was able to cover nearly all of it. Then I covered the inner shell (the part with the holes all in in it) and also a bit on the back side of that. Did this on all 4 doors and took about 5-6hrs total with breaks here and there. It was pretty easy, it's just a bit tedious. My point here today: JUST that ALONE made a pretty remarkable difference in a few ways. 1. The music sounded MUCH better 2. The door open/close sound is "solid" and sounds clean and great 3. It's a lot quieter inside the truck as well. What's funny is when I took the front door speakers out, I couldn't help but laugh! Now... WHY... just WHY would they put such a tiny, cheap little baby ass speaker in an 80k Truck that is their "Flagship" truck for "performance?" I just do not get this. Ughhhhhh.... It's gonna be a bit before I pull that trigger on $2800.00 to upgrade my stuff, but I can easily toss down some cash to upgrade those front speakers. I just wonder how much of a real difference there would be?? I mean, there HAS to be a HUGE difference given those goofy little 1963 copies they put in there!! The only issue is that I DO see where the FOCALs require a lot thicker speaker wire (in the end) and that THAT is a huge problem given the grommet in the door jam that is there. IF I just switch out the speakers, do I NEED to upgrade the speaker wire YET? I mean, I'm not messing with an amp or anything YET. Just curious. I'm also curious what would happen if I just dropped in a simple speaker upgrade (200.00 or less) just for fun...? I mean, I would think I would HAVE to sound better. I just can't get over that little baby 3oz speaker in the doors. Good god! What a damn shame! Thoughts????? [/QUOTE]
