System rundown
Pioneer AVH-X7700BT headunit
Helix M Six DSP w/ Conductor
Helix M One X
Front stage - 3" Blam LFR80 widebands and 6.5" Phoenix Gold Elite mids
Topping D10S (yet to be installed) to DSP via optic cable
Sub Stage - 2 10" JL W0s in an Atrend box (downfiring) under the rear seat
2/0 welding cable for power and ground
Upgraded all power and ground cables under the hood with 2/0 as well as a second battery w/ Cole Hersee smart isolator
System goals
Build is based off of SQ but being I'm a closet basehead, I will be upgrading the dual 10s to dual 12s this summer as well as building a custom floating amp rack behind the rear seat. I picked up a pair of nib PG Elite midbass drivers for stupid cheap and so far have impressed me. Had to fab up speaker spacers as they are fairly deep and there just isn't much room in the doors. Next step will be to fully deaden the inner and outer door skins as well as the door panel itself.
I knew from the start that I had to move the tweeters up higher as having them down by your knees was driving me crazy. I've done a couple sets of custom pillars in my last build ('18 F150) but the very narrow and shallow pillars in these trucks left me scratching my head. I wasn't too keen on possibly destroying the a-pillars especially since they are getting harder and harder to find so I decided to try out a wideband and ended up with a pair of 3" Blam LFR80s. Then, while browsing Aliexpress, stumbled on these pods. For a whopping $50 I couldn't go wrong (especially after pricing out aluminum pods on ebay that would cost almost 10x more).
I originally wanted to mount them up on the pillar but the damn dash said otherwise. Being that I had to install them as on-axis as possible, this was the next best thing and it turned out great.
Controlling and powering everything is a Helix M Six DSP w/built in amp for my front stage and then a Helix M One X for sub duties. Power is bridged to both 6.5s in the doors (200 watts a piece) and they take it and ask for more.
