![]() ![]() One issue that needs to be addressed in any type of vehicle where we install a nice stereo is the vibrations in the doors. Once the truck was all finished you would never have known the speakers had been touched just by looking at it. As you can see in the attached photos of the install, the tweeters and woofers fit in the original locations. We were looking for something that could handle real power and would deliver, and the C5’s exceeded expectations as usual. The speakers deliver a crisp clear sound even at much higher volume levels. ![]() This line of speakers from JL Audio is a force to be reckoned with. We installed JL C5 component speakers in the front factory locations, and C5 coax speakers in the rear. The first thing that we knew needed to be done was to install a better quality speaker package. We were honored to have the ability to bring the stereo of one such truck to a whole new level for a good customer of ours. ![]() Even with the upgraded factory Sony package, the stereo doesn’t give the “ Platinum” name any justice. The one big feature missing… is a good sounding stereo. If you can’t get to the store during regular business hours, give us a call or send us an e-mail outlining your request using our contact form.A 2011 F150 Platinum edition comes with more options than you might think, for a pickup truck. If you’re interested in transforming your car stereo system into something that’s detailed and realistic in both tonality and presentation, drop by our store and talk to one of our product specialists. In fact, he left us a glowing review on Google. He was amazed at the accuracy and detail and was thoroughly impressed at how much of a difference the DSP made. The client returned to Westminster Speed and Sound and got in the truck for a listen. It’s similar to what an audio engineer would hear sitting at the console in a recording studio when the music was created. This process results in the sound from each driver arriving at the listening position simultaneously so that the music sounds like it’s coming from the windshield rather than the speakers. We finished the project by using our real-time audio analyzer and our tried-and-true calibration process to configure the signal delays and equalization settings for each speaker in the truck. This fiberglass enclosure is designed specifically for the Ford F-150 and features a single 13.5-inch 12TW5v2 subwoofer to deliver big bass without taking up valuable space in the vehicle. The last step in the installation process was to mount a JL Audio SB-F-150-SPRCRW/13TW5v2/BK Stealthbox under the rear seat. We used the crossover capabilities of the DSR1 to filter the signals going to each channel of the amp and consequently the speakers so they will only play the range of frequencies we want. However, it was different because we connected the woofers and the tweeters to individual channels on the amp rather than using the included passive crossover networks. This in and of itself doesn’t seem untraditional. We installed a set of BLAM Signature Series S 165.80+ components in the doors and dash. The next step is where our plan diverged from the client’s original vision. This JL Audio Stealthbox is designed specifically for the client’s truck. ![]()
