Re: 2014 F150 Limited Build
Got a dash camera installed today. The Rexing V1P Pro Gen 3 Dual camera
and.....
My Stereo Integrity M3 speakers in their pods. I don't have power to them yet, but I at least have them mounted and aimed to the same spot. Christmas time will be when I get the pdx-f6 and new amp rack installed and running.
I also need to either re-pin the molex to the speaker in the door and replace that wiring, or run new wiring. I am having issues with both sides cutting out and when I looked at the wires, they seem to be getting pinched on both sides and looks like they need replacing. I had this issue before any speaker replacement too, where a speaker would cut out or get quieter for a few seconds and then come back. I am leaning towards just new wiring from amp to speakers and bought enough to do that.

Drilled a hole through the a-pillar to run the wire through. This will have the pod going through there and then a small piece of foam on the pod where it contacts the dash for no rattles.

Re: 2014 F150 Limited Build
I wasn't happy with my sub output. I had it originally in the middle seat area up firing.
I was trying various locations to see if they made a difference. By Ear, passenger side was the best and down firing seemed better but I wasn't 100% sure. So, I decided to take some measurements and find out.
Here are those measurements. If you have a single sub, definitely place it on the passenger side and down firing if you can! DO NOT PLACE IT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE!!!!!
This is all 6 different possibilities:

This is my before (center up firing) to my now (passenger side down firing). Gained 3db which is equivalent to doubling the power or adding a second speaker (not both)

This is passenger side up vs. down

Whats pods are those for the tweets and stuff? Did the speakers come with those? I like that little swivel setup.

Pods are from this guy and the speakers did not come with them.

Looks great and innovative idea on mounting those pods. I have the exact same interior in my Ford only in XL trim regular cab. Can you post some pictures and details for the subwoofer?

Sure. Nothing too special right now. Jl 10" tw3 in an eBay (thesubboxshop) downfire box. Some fitment issues but trimmed about a 1/2" on the front and a little more than a 1/2" on the back and now fits nice.

Excellently said ! "There it is" :woohoo:
The reason to downfire or front load a sub is "control" , you are using a limiting factor on movement [ think resistance ].

Speaker wire was ran to the mids and new wire into the doors today.
Now to just make a new amp rack, tune, and hopefully done after that for quite some time!
