    Here is mine, They are JBL stadium components with the stadium 2 inch midrange in the dash location. And yes, the orange of the mids and tweeters matches the color of my truck :)

    I am not running 3 way crossovers, I am running a 10 channel DSP to a pair of 4 channel amps and a mono amp. The DSP time aligns, adjusts levels and controls the frequencies of each speaker individually. So each speaker has its own channel of amplification.

    @5nahalf gotcha! So should I run DSP when I install midrange speaker? Like I said I’m running 2-way component with crossover, along with 2 separate amp 1 JL RD400/4 for all door speakers/dash and 1 JL RD500/1 for 2 10” subwoofer

    You can run a DSP, but unless you plan to add another RD400/4 you will need to run a normal passive crossover.

    The way my system run, each tweeter has its own channels, each mid has its own channels, each woofer has its own channels and each rear speaker has its own channels. So there are 8 channels just to run my speakers (the 9th is subwoofer).

    Used body filler on a stock sail after drilling the correct size hole I needed.

    Used sandable filler primer to fill in those smaller holes.

    Used SEM Plastic Trim paint

    Used SEM Texture Paint to try and match the textured plastic. It's not a perfect match.

    Final product with the Audiofrog GB10 Tweeter Installed.

    GB25 inside the dash, and GS690 in the door.

    @CRogersism got mine custom work from my local audio shop. Currently I'm running morel maximo ultra 602 2-way and i decided to add the morel ccwr 254 2.5' midrange driver so they relocate my 1" tweeter on the dash into sail panel then put the ccwr 254 on the dash.

    Looks like they used some sort of fabric. Is that what that texture is? I know the Faux Leather pattern is pretty close to the molded plastic texture on that trim piece.

    None that I can hear. I'm running them off a Pioneer 6600NEX and Audio Control D-6.1200. Audiofrog's are definitely worth the price.

    Thanks for the update, I'll have to check them out. I'm a Rockford guy and hadn't heard of Audiofrog before. Great job on this!
