Installation Description

First I removed all four door panels for installation of door speakers...then removed the back seat and installed the amps on the back wall...the wiring was a little difficult because of limited paths that we could run them...so after removing the dash to install the head unit, we ran all the wiring from the back of the head unit down up under the carpet to the back of the vehicle...I installed a mount on the front of the dash to hold my Ipod securely...the thing I love the most about my truck is everything still has its stock look except for the head unit and Ipod mount...this was such a fun task and it took us about 7 hours to do everything.Thanks Crutchfield for your great products and support!

Q&A Section

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

Factory systems these days limit you to how you can listen to your music...music just sounds much better with aftermarket add ons...

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

Stock look, aftermarket sound

Why did you choose these products?

I've had experience with everything but Boston Acoustics and wanted to try something different and was very pleased with Boston Acoustics

What was the most difficult part of the installation?

Wiring

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

I plan on adding an aux cable that will allow me to run my Ipod and XM satellite radio simultaneously

We'd love to know what you think

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit.
