Hey all. I just made a quick page with a few pics of my current install. Let me know what you think. What I really like is I have not altered my truck one bit. I can put everything back to factory in an hour.

Very Nicely done.

I wish I had the $$$ for a Double-DIN LCD.
Do you find the kick-pod in the way at all while driving? I hate how ford left out a "dead pedal" for your left foot.

 

Great setup man. I love the kick panels. Where did you get those and what size speakers fit them?

Also, did you keep the speakers in the front doors or just get rid of them all together.

 

Thanks for the replies.

I have not noticed the kicks in the way at all. Of course, I am aware of them so, that makes a difference. But, with the grills on, they should be safe to all but, direct kicking. I got mine from a place called stereoone on ebay. Best price and it took one day for me to get them. He is in Arkansas. For the door speakers, I simply disconnected the fronts. If I pull the Kenwood out an put the factory head back in, the front speakers would work just like new. The rears are running off the Kenwood and would be the same way if I put the factory back in. The kicks are designed for 5 1/4's and you could put a 6" pretty easy. Some 6 1/2's might fit but, it would be hard to squeeze a 6 3/4 in there without modding the kick somehow.



Actually, I bought the Q Logic Kickpanels and Q Custom from StereoOne on ebay. If you buy them both at the same time, he might cut you a deal. Even still, I paid less than $300 for the set of kicks and the enclosure.

 

Very nice! I love the HU.

 

That looks real nice dconder.

You wouldn't happen to have a link to that eBay store would you? I've been looking for kickpanels for our trucks for months but could never find them. I searched eBay for "StereoOne" as well as a couple other searches but came up with nothing as well.

Edit: Nevermind, just after I posted this I found it.

 

Thanks for all the replies. Just a small example of how to get great sound and not alter your vehicle. Q Logic is the way to go for it. If anyone else needs it, here is the link to StereoOne ebay store:

My next step is a rear monitor for our 17 month old. With the sunroof, I am not sure if you could mount a drop down or not. May have to try like headrest monitors.

 

Very nice setup. I like the car seat in the back. I have one of those too Your HU looks awesome!

Definitly an awesome setup man! I'm jealous!!!

 

Looks great man. i am going to look into those kicks. I can now go and run a 3 way front setup in my truck.

 

dconder -

Do those q-logic kicks have a back on them? So they are completely sealed? Or, do they make a seal when installed?

I had a pair in my 2000 F150 and they weren't sealed or made a seal when installed.

Thanks.

 

The Q kicks are open in the back. They do not completely seal when installed either. You could probably seal them but, I think they sound great as is.


Thanks for all the comments. The system has been performing great. Everything should be broke in by now and it really sounds good. It is about as loud as I would need and crystal clear.

 

Can you still use the ebrake?

 

Does not affect it one bit. Works like normal. Getting the kick over the ebrake takes a bit of work but, nothing major. Just have to be careful.
