Eddie Long Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hello everybody. I am new here on SMD and would like to thank everyone here for all of the great info. I am starting a new build and would like to see what you think. This is what I have decided on so far. Vehicle- 1999 Chevy Tahoe 4-door HU- Pioneer DEH-80PRS (already have) Fronts- Focal 165 A3 3-way components Rears- Focal 165 CVX Sub- SSA XCON-15 D2 Amps- Sundown SAX-100.4D Sundown SAZ-1500D V.2 Also will be using Second Skin Damplifier throughout truck. I am shooting for more of an SQ build but has some good SPL. Hoping that these are some good choices. This will be my first official build. I have had a few stereos in the past but nothing this good. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Welcome to SMD Sir ... I would suggest that your tweeters be half up on your A-Pillars (aiming towards behind your rear view mirror) to start off your stage and image ...

Skullz Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Good choice in gear and should get decently loud and sound as impressive but proper treatment and install will trump even the best equipment choices. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
