Thanks for the link Mike, that’s a good thread. One reason for mocking up the system, was to get an idea of how it sounds together. Not really so much about quality (better than factory) as nothing is mounted and spread out but an idea of volume the head unit and speakers can do without the use of an external amp. Plenty for a regular truck cab IMO, still thinking a little sub couldn't hurt right?

Oh yes, it’s gonna work great! Pretty sure you are correct Scott on the 4x10 speaker for all but it had a unique frame to cover the very large grill area. The 5x7 speaker only comes closer to covering the entire area. Thinking there will be more about the center speaker as we get closer to installing it.

To the speaker question, I made a thin plywood spacer (I think it was 3/8"??) for my '69 K10, sized to fill the speaker grate and then drilled for two 4" speakers. Then I sprayed it with matte black Rustoleum, you'd never know it was there  |
Me too Jim, I can’t believe all the features they get off two knobs!
Prior to the final wet sand?
