Nice, I still need to do mine. Got some pretty high quotes so I’m going to try to do it myself as well

Did you end up using the xpel pre cut film for the tailgate?

The crossovers for the tweeters aren’t adjustable unfortunately. Yesterday I added some boom mat sound deadener to the underside of the tweeter grilles and also put a piece of 1/2 oz felt on the opening right above the tweeter. That seemed to help. Still have good detail on the highs but the...

So they didn’t give my an itemized break down on the price of everything. I’ve got the speakers, sub, sub box, similar priced amp, loc’s, 4 gauge amp wiring kit, and rca’s in my crutchfield cart and it’s about $1100. I’m missing the speaker wires and possibly some other misc installation gear...

Yep those are the ones I have. I noticed that on crutchfield too, not sure what they did. I’ll update here when I take the doors apart to add the deadening. I just went with a small downfiring box on the floor behind the front seat. Didn’t want to lose the tubs under the back seat.

$1850. Install took around 7 hours.

I went by the shop again friday after work. Decided on alpine type s component set for the front, type s 2 way rears, 10” alpine sub, phoenix gold 5 channel amp. On the shops recommendation I decided to skip the dsp for now and just use line out converters. Had it installed today. Overall I’m...

Which alpines did you get for the doors? I’m considering the s-s65c component set for mine.

That’s super helpful. I’ll probably be adding more deadening after the install depending what the shop ends up doing. Thank you

I don’t. Not a bad idea if easily removable.

That Makes sense. I’m getting a lot more volume out of the rear of the cobalt compared to the maverick. I may try speakers first. But at this point I’m leaning towards a decent set of fronts, tweeters, amp. I’m going to stop by the shop again tomorrow after work, and see what they say.

Ok so if I were to just add speakers it wouldn't be a huge upgrade, but if I amp them, even with lower end aftermarkets it will sound much better than stock? Would that be fair to say? I just sat in a few different cars and listened to some loud heavy metal. 19 subaru crosstrek with factory...

I’ll be honest, I’m going to have to Google what sq sql and spl means 😂. The shop I’m looking at does lot of high end cars, I’m talking high end Mercedes, bmw’s etc. they’re very well regarded so I trust they’ll do good work. I’m a complete newbie when it comes to car audio, so I’m just wanting...

Thanks for the detailed response. The shop I’m looking at has already done a couple mavericks so no issues there, and I’m going to buy all the parts from them as well. I was asking for just a rough idea of what the labor might cost. I realize components can vary massively. I mostly listen to...

I don’t have the b&o system. I think I’ll be going with the shop. If I was just swapping speakers I’d do it myself but I’m going to want more than just speakers. I don’t need a high end system by any means, but I want to get the most out of whatever speakers I get, so I’ll be doing an amp and...

Right on, thank you!

I’m fairly mechanically inclined and I enjoy working on my vehicles but this is over my head. I’ve replaced speakers before but what I’m wanting here is more than I’m willing to try on my own. If I had more time I’d love to try to learn this but I just realistically can’t right now. I used...

Ok, that gives me a better idea. I figured it would be at least $100 per hour. I’m probably going to skip the sub for now and just do speakers powered by an amp with dsp. If I need more bass, I’ll add a sub later. I’ve seen a few people recommending audio control DSP’s so I was looking at those...

I’m planning on upgrading my sound system. I’m looking at getting new tweeters, door speakers, rear pillar speakers, amp and DSP. I will be keeping the factory head unit. I’m new to modifying car audio so I have opted to have it professionally installed instead of trying to do it myself. Not...

Looks great! Do you have one amp powering the door speakers as well as the sub? Or are you still using the factory head unit to power the door speakers?
