Installation Description
First I added front speakers, because one of the factory speakers went out. It sort of blossomed from there. The factory tuner never was up to the task, so I replaced it and the rear speakers. I then decided to "Dynamat" the doors. I'm in the process now, of selecting a subwoofer arrangement of some sort. Hopefully this will improve on what I consider, 'not quite there yet' performance.After that, I intend to replace the carpet. At which time, I'll 'Dynamat' Sound and Heat insulate, the floor and firewall. When I do the seats, I'll 'Dynamat' the rear cab wall and possibly the roof.
