Beautiful truck! I love this red! Silly question: where'd you get the glove box organizer? That looks pretty handy.
Thank you. Ordered it off Amazon. I don’t remember the term to search but something like “f150 dash organizer” should find it.

Did you ever get the sound system finished?

Unfortunately, life has gotten very busy with a new role at work. Plus I’ve run into several problems with caused major delays.

First problem - Nav-TV Zen unit started acting up. At one point, I lost the entire left side of audio due to the Zen A2B. I called the company and they said they could possibly repair it however it would cost more which I’m not sinking more money into the Zen.
I ordered a Mobridge A2B adapter to integrate the factory infotainment. I had to wait about a month for the unit. Finally installed it last weekend. It might have a better sound over the Zen.

Second problem - thought I blew a tweeter. Did a lot of troubleshooting to figure out I had a bad solder joint in the custom RCAs I made. That was a quick fix last weekend.

Next a buddy in the car audio business heard Focal is raising prices next year so I ended up ordering Focal Utopia M tweeters, 3.5” midrange and 8” midbass drivers. So I added more work before the system is fully finished. LOL

I didn't see it listed, but what are the offsets of the wheels? Great build BTW.

Sick build! Your attention to detail is next level. As a guy who has never messed with audio outside of putting a new headunit in back in the 90s-2000s, I have a question. Is all the sound deadening to improve audio? I see you put a layer around the door speakers too. Never seen anyone add it, usually its taken out to save weight. Again sick truck!

Thank you.

There are multiple uses for sound deadening depending on what you use and where. Sound deadening will stop vibrations, rattles which take away from the quality of the sound your speakers put out. Sound deadening in the doors will help your door speakers perform better as the back waves from the speaker will be deadened so the door does not rattle/vibrate. Door blockoff plates help the base response of the door speaker which also helps the quality of the sound. The sound treatment around the speaker in my picture is to help direct the sound from the mib-bass driver through the door panel. This helps not lose sound waves in the door panel thus making your speakers less efficient.

This is only a basic description, there is much more detailed information available online.

I think these speakers are so good, you can hear the difference in Youtube Videos over every other speaker.

How do you like them?

Love the way they sound. I need to get time to build a-pillars for the TBMs next. I have a build thread on DIYMA for just the system.
