Q&A

Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?

Wanted to upgrade the 2ea 10" Precision subs in truck boxes that sounded just ok and looked terrible

What's the first thing you show people about your installation?

The craftmanship of the work in terms of how nicely the speakers and amp integrate into the trunk

Why did you choose these products?

Wanted to keep existing Directed amplifier. The JL Audio subs are very efficient and pair well with the amp

What was the most difficult part of the installation?

Deciding exactly how to spend limited amount of money; ended up with most cost in labor but well worth it

What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?

None right now.
