The door and the tweeters are wired in parallel. You will need to run wires up to the dash for the tweeters, but can use the factory wiring for the door speakers. The dash is very open and easy to run wires. You will need to run wires to the back for input signal anyway. You will also want to...

I ended up ordering the Morel Hybrid 2 way, then still plan on using the Virtus 2.5" VWB25.4. Both the Hybrid MW6MKII and the Virtus MW6 have a mounting depth of 61mm, but the Hybrid is larger in diameter towards the rear. There is really plenty of room in the door cavity once you remove some...

I was in a bit of a rush when finishing the sound treatment I didn't run the wiring. I should have left the door panel off but at the time I thought I was going to take today off of working on the truck. But with it being apart, I want to keep progress going so I decided to work on wiring...

The door panels are the ones that need a lot of attention. They are made from multiple different pieces so lots of joints to treat. Resonix CLD squares applied and Duct Seal on all of the joints and the clips were treated with Tessa tape. The inner door handle is held in with a plastic...

Front doors are probably the most important area for sound treatment in this build. The door panels are pretty cheap and even rattle and buzz with the stock speakers. One thing I do like about this truck is how they front doors are constructed. The inner door skin is one piece and removable...

Applied the Duct Seal to all metal overlaps and where brackets are attached. I was surprised on how effective just that is. Installed Resonix CLD Lite to the rear of the cab. Rear speakers will be removed. I really hate the location. I have an idea for a new location but that is fairly...

A metal container will reduce range, the signal is not really interrupted or absorbed, just block. The idea behind the Faraday cage/bag, is that the mesh acts as an antenna of infinite variations in length, thus soaking up the signal before it can get too far.

No issues when shutting the door, no noticeable pressure. So I would assume the HVAC /w fresh air will be fine. Air flow will be slightly restricted, as there is less area open, thinsulate breaths really well, but the air does have to flow through the thinsulate, absorbing some of the sound. I...

There are a few empty cavities that need to be filled with mineral wool to reduce resonances. There is one in front of the under-seat cubbies and two under the rear window. Removed the remaining panels and middle seat belt for easy access. I decided to remove the vents and replace them with...

To fit the two Alumapro Alchemy 10's under the seat, I need every bit of volume and baffle area that I can get. Minimum is .65 cu ft, ideal is .75 cu ft per woofer. I removed the interior panels to see what I was working with. Applied some Resonix CLD squares. Taped the joints and edges...

I would run the tweeters off on their own channels, door speakers on their own channels and keep the rears powered by the factory amp. Only send the front input to the amplifier. Check polarity first. If the 6.5's are out of phase, you will loose all of the low end. You can check this by...

For how much room there is on the back wall, there is one strategically placed module to just make it annoying. But, easy enough to remove brackets and remount the module. There were studs under the seat belt, so I made a little bracket and mounted the bracket I cut off to it so the module...

Nice. I have not measured the depth of the doors yet, but that is part of the reason I went with the Morel Virtus, they are not very deep and the magnet is fairly small in diameter. I am hoping they will fit without cutting too much of the brace. I should have noted this is the output with the...

A couple photos after a fresh wash.

The first step is to determine what kind of source I am dealing with. I am not willing to give up the factory screen, steering wheel controls, phone integration / Android Auto at this time. Once everything is up and running and there are severe issues, I may reconsider. The measurement was...

New truck, new project. I placed an order for this truck just after the order banks opened on August 5th 2024. I took delivery of the truck on January 3rd 2025. It is a Hybrid AWD XLT with the BAP and LUX Package. I had a few parts waiting when the truck arrived. Rough Country Hard Tri-Fold...

I took some measurements with the scope the other day. The probe as at 1x and the scope was set to 10x so the voltage is 10x higher in the images. At 1KHz , volume 24, no clipping, the output is 7.922V RMS, calculates to 15.7W. At 1Khz, volume 25, some clipping, the output is 9.10V RMS...

My XLT /w LUX has a recirculation button.

I can confirm that Forscan is working on the 2025s. I backed up all of the factory settings. I did switch the EQ to flat, the audio was really bad after the change. I will measure the output before and after when I have time. I used the same address as the Bronco. EQ Setting, 01 is On, 00...

Sounds like you have one of the inputs wired backwards, or out of phase. You will notice the cancellation in the low end. Switch polarity on one of your inputs.
