Rupp250 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Posted June 19, 2018 Recently sold my F250 and picked up a 2011 2500hd Silverado. Have a couple of questions as I am planning on what to do. Gonna re-use the Pioneer I had in the old truck. Looking for some suggestions on front 6.5" components. Would like to stay around $200-250. For the rear doors (I have kids that watch movies) I will just run the matching coaxial that I run up front. Looking for something that is efficient since I am just going to run them off deck power. Want a smooth sounding tweeter. Will sound deaden/seal doors. Will try to put the Tweet in the factory location on the a-pillar. Secondly, I picked up a shallow 12" to go under the rear seat from Stereo Integrity. I will make a box @ .65cf per SI recommendations. But, generally what sounds best, down firing into floor, or up into bottom of seat? Thinking of running a Pioneer GM-D9601 https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Digital+Series/GM-D9601 http://stereointegrity.com/product/bm-mk-v-12-subwoofer/

SkarredSierra Posted June 19, 2018 Report Posted June 19, 2018 Watever components you get my suggestion is get a 4 channel to power them. Stock amps or headunits, even aftermarket, rarely have the power to properly drive nicer components. I ran my jbls on the factory amp in my durango for awhile. They sounded ok. Once i put them on amp power tho it really was a huge difference.
Rupp250 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Posted June 19, 2018 Don't want to amp the doors. That is why I was thinking something efficient. This truck is used to pull my toyhauler on trips mainly. I have a daily driver that I have a full active setup.
06RTCharger Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 Maybe look for some components that require VERY little rms power. That way the little power that the pioneer gives will be enough to get the speakers playing at close to full potential.
SkarredSierra Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 Efficiency means absolutely dick when the set is only gettn 15 to 20 watts rms if that. Most upper tier components have an rms over 75 watts. Factory amps usually have a preset eq depending on the channel wich usually wont match up with wat the speakers need and will cause distortion at moderate levels or lower sometimes. The only real way to get full clean sound is to amp them. Otherwise u might as well buy cheap shit. Distortion will most likely kill anything u put in within a year or so.
