    Mine sound perfect. Plenty of oooomph so everyone at the fuel pump can enjoy my music with me :biggrin_255:

    I can't believe I forgot the power wires for the amp :(

    BTW, most big trucks use the Volkswagen adapter. Available every place that installs systems. Then you need to splice it into the radio wiring using twist connectors.

    Also, if you get Bluetooth, it will connect to your phone and will come with a small mic that can be mounted to the visor. No need for a overly expensive Bluetooth headset ;)

    Alpine is the only way to go in a truck. My head unit is worn out after 10 years and two trucks but it still gets the job done. The front speakers in the headliner are a real pain to do in that truck. I would surface mount some 4" instead.

    If loud music bothers you in a truck stop you are in the wrong business.You should look to Burger King and home in your pajamas every night in your moms basement...Quite time...:biggrin_25522:

    I spent $1500.00 for my system and worth every single cent. The crisp clearness of the highs and the strong lows hit just like if I was at a concert. Alpine head unit, JL Audio's 12" sub's and 2"tweeters, Polk's for midrange, and JL Audio Component speakers in the bunk. 600-5 PPI Amp driving it all. Remember, its not the bigger the amp that give's you the sounds quality, its the QUALITY of the amp and the less distortion it puts out is how you recieve the CRISP's sounds thru the speakers. I had a $800.00 budget when I went shopping for my system and ended up spending twice as much. I learned about the QUALITY of the products that makes the sound. Goodluck
     
    landstar8891 Thanks this.
