what brand/model number did you use for the dash speakers?

Sundown Audio SA-2.75 FR v2 - LINK HERE

Other people have had good success using the Memphis Audio PRX275 speakers in the front - LINK HERE

I went with Sundown Audio because at the time I couldn't find any of the PRX275's in stock anywhere. It worked in my favor anyways because I also ended up going with Sundown Audio coaxials in the doors as well - same series. This way I can also pick up a good amp later from Sundown Audio if I want to boost the speakers a little bit. They get just as loud as the stock speakers but can handle A LOT more power than what the head unit is feeding them. That will be later if I ever decide to add a small sub to the center console, if I ever swap out my jump seat for a center console.....

so since you have done those do you know are the dash speakers tied into the door speakers? or do they have there own channel from the factory amp?

That, I cannot accurately answer. I've read in some places that they are full range speakers, NOT tweeters, so my best guess is they're tied in with the door speakers but obviously don't play anything in the low range. I looked and I cannot find an amp in my truck unless I'm looking in the wrong place or it's behind my dash and I'm not tearing that apart to figure that out. If I'm going to do that, I'm going to rewire everything to a proper amp with crossovers to send just the highs to the full range speakers in the dash. Then I'd separate my door speakers and put tweeters in the a-pillars.

Sorry that I don't really know the answer to your question. I am just now delving into the electronic side of things in this truck - everything has been mechanical or practical use so far.

They should be mid-range speakers, not tweeters.

I can check when I am able to replace mine, i'm running new wires to focal flax 3-ways. Hopefully this weekend.

The amp is behind the back seat mounted to the rear of the cab, I have accumulated just about everything needed to do a full swap, I just need a amp wiring kit and I can swap all the speakers, i put kappa's in the rear doors and I have a component set for the front doors and I bought the sundowns for the dash, I have a jl audio 6channel amp for the regular speakers and a memphis single ch for the base speakers, i have 2 10" jl audios and the cabinet to put under the rear seat and the amp adapter harness, Oh i also need a amp mounting bracket and I am waiting on kenwood to release there 10" headunits which should be anytime now. i have the maestro rr kit and all the adapters needed to swap the headunit so I'm almost there..... I have been piecing it together since xmas since I'm not rich

Bought a used 9” mcgaughy lift off OfferUp, dropped it off at a shop getting sand blasted and powder coated gloss black since they had it cheaply painted (only bought it since it was cheap and the shops around my area wanted me to pay 2500-2900$ for it installed) after buying the rear add a leaf, sand blasting and powder coating it still coming in under 2000$ installed. Hopefully I can get my truck in the shop to have it installed in about a week or so.

(Damn I can only imagen how much @CovetedStyle candy powder coating costed I think my wife would of killed me fr!)

Dang Frankie, look at you go! There was a blue Silverado with the lift height I want to go for parked next to me today. Makes it even harder to wait any longer...

xSHIFTxNASTYx · June 2, 2020

What have I done today?

Hmm...

Well...

Only click the spoiler, if you dare! I'm warning you... really, this is your last chance...

Spoiler

I did an oil change, and no, I did not use Amsoil! GASP!!!

Anyways, I had my fun. Trying out the Shell Rotella Gas Truck 0W20 this time. Can't really say no to at least trying it when it's on sale right now at NAPA - $24.99 for 5 qt and $5.49 single qt - ended up buying enough for 2 oil changes. Also picked up a Wix XP filter.
