2023 XLT Avalanche Build

[jlandry]

yes, watch this video

Makes way more sence now.
I threw the rear 6.5s in the truck yesterday since i already had them and the mounting brackets and harness came in. World of difference with nothing but a speaker swap. Going to do the fronts when they come in and probably do some sound deadning then on all doors. Amp harness will be on order this week too.

Been years since I’ve done the forum thing. Seems fb kinda killed them. Glad to see this one active. I’ve done the diesel thing since 2005. This is the first gas truck I’ve owned and driven in almost 20 years.

Bought new 9/1/2023. It’s a XLT sport super crew 302A package, avalanche gray, 3.5 ecoboost, 4wd.

Got the windows tinted same day as purchasing it. Did 5% geoshield ceramic over factory rear tint and on the front doors. Also has a 5% brow that’s to the bottom of the rear view mirror. The dark windows against the color really looks good I think.

We hope you're loving it! Welcome to the F-150 family

Also just finished up doing an eibach coil over leveling kit. Took about 2hrs to put on myself. Didn’t know what I was getting into since I’m so used to solid front axle stuff and semi stuff. Went really smooth. It being new probably helped also.

Which part # from Eibach was the kit you used and about how long would it take someone who's never done a swap before? I've only done simple stuff like brakes, pads & rotors. I plan to raise my F150 when I get it.

That’s the part number from eibach.

as far as time…. That’s subjective. I found it to be super easy. That may not be the case for everyone and my truck had less than 1,000 miles on it so it was all still clean and easy to get apart. I’d say a person should be able to have it done in 3-4 hrs with basic knowledge and tools.

Great build. You running the KEY bi-amped just for front and tweeters? Or as a 4 channel amp, front and rear doors?

No software to tune these / fade for things like a center when only 4 channel RCA present?

Ha

I have the same question. What happens to the tweeters and mid bass in the dash if everything else is amp'd?

correct, basic 4 channel amp when someone doesn't want to use it bi-amped.
