  1. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    i did, finally! still getting everything dialed in and tuned up, but it’s leaps and bounds better than the stock setup. i’m just running the front speakers through the key for now, but i’d like to eventually replace the rears and amplify those as well. i’m not super stoked with the ā€˜kicker EQā€˜...
  2. The Texas Mavericks!

    i’m in austin—picked mine up on 10.28. i haven’t seen another one on the road yet! genuinely shocked.
  3. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    so: 9-way speed wire from the stock harness to the LC2i, RCA from the main output jacks to the key, and bass output to the sub (via the kicker KISL RCA-to-speaker adapter). 9-way back out from the key to the stock harness speaker outs. power to 3-way distribution block, which feeds the LC2i...
  4. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    the kicker sub needs power from the battery, or from a distro block connected to the battery. it’s actually REALLY easy to run the power cable through the firewall thanks to the well-placed grommet in the driver’s side footwell.
  5. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    this is how i have mine set up, only i have the LC2i and the key mounted (along with distro blocks) on some ABS behind the seats. the hideaway’s under the back seat in the passenger side. i wanted everything to be easily accessible so i can tweak the settings if/when needed. i ran the power...
  6. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    i went with the infinity reference RF-6532IX. they’re coax, not components, because this is my first car audio project and i was nervous about mounting the tweeters. i may put some in eventually but these are sounding pretty sweet so far.
  7. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    THANK YOU for this. mine are a little gappy at the top after putting them back on; will try this tonight. any tricks to getting the a-pillar back on? both of mine are kind of flopping down from the top and i’m not sure what i did wrong. clips are in fine, but there’s a wider tab in the center...
  8. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    yeah, if it’s not too much work, i’d like to do some baseline recordings of the sound from the speaker-level inputs to the hideaway and compare it once the LC2i is installed. i have a decent mic and made some recordings of the stock system—i’m not an audio engineer by any means, but i thought...
  9. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    sooo good! hey, thanks a lot for your original post—it gave me the confidence to do this myself (after I got a quote for $500+ just in labor to make the upgrades I want). this week I'm replacing the front speakers, adding an LC2i, key 200.4, and the 8" hideaway. I won't be running the hideaway...
  10. Upgrading the XLT base audio system / door panel removal - finished with lots of pics.

    this is exactly what i’ve been looking for—thanks for posting. i’m excited to hear how the rest of the install goes, and how you like the sub. i’m having the same one put in next week with an LC2i. now i’m thinking i may pick up a set of component speakers for the front and have them put in at...

  12. The Texas Mavericks!

    ah, gotcha. i wondered if you’d gotten the DORA and tracked it down on the railcar itself (per this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/%F0%9F%A7%AD-maverick-build-tracking-links.2882/). i’m gonna bug my dealer for mine; fingers crossed that it’s getting close!
  13. The Texas Mavericks!

    sweet! how’d you find out it was on the train? mine’s supposedly en route but i’m not sure how to track it from here.
