Never use copper clad aluminum (CCA) if you want the best current flow! MOUNTING AMPLIFIERS Power is supplied to the amplifiers utilizing our four-gauge pure copper wiring. We use the NavTv ZEN modules often and they are a reliable piece to use for integrating into the factory fiber optic audio system. In this application, the ZEN module replaces the factory amplifier, so we needed enough channels to power every speaker in the vehicle. This Ford Super Duty had the factory Bang and Olufsen audio system, so we used the NavTV ZEN module to grab a clean audio signal from the factory head unit. Here’s how we performed the installation. Good thing we have a North American Top 12 Installer on our team!

We are using some great equipment in this install so it would be a shame to perform a bad install. Winning the North American 2018-2019 Customer Choice Award in the 12-volt industry-validated our commitment to provide trusted interactions between our store in Denver and our customers. The DRC-100 is one of our favorite pieces because it provides a super sleek look, and has the ability to switch through as many as 9 tunes on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor).Įlevated Audio is known first and foremost for our customer’s overall experience from beginning to end. We used the DRC-100 for the bass knob and tune selector for the system.

We used the JL Audio XD600/1v2 to power the subwoofer, this way the sub gets full power and the amplifier is not having to strain to provide the power. This setup comes with two 12” TW3 subwoofers, which can get plenty loud, but also hit very deep notes smoothly. We felt the best use of his money to get him the bass he wanted was to use the JL Audio Stealth Box made for his vehicle. The customer wanted to ensure he had enough bass in the truck, so we definitely wanted to go for a dual-sub setup.

The VXi series also have a pre-out on the amp so you can tie a mono amp into the DSP tune, as if it were another channel on the VXi amplifier. We use the JL Audio VXi style amplifiers often because they provide a lot of power in a small footprint, and they have integrated DSP which means one less thing to install and hide.
We decided to use the JL Audio VX600/6i to power the front component speakers actively, as well as the rear coaxial speakers.

We are able to separate the frequencies using the DSP software on a tuning laptop. A passive crossover comes with component speakers to prevent the average person from accidentally blowing a speaker, by allowing only certain frequencies to play through to each speaker. When tuning the system using the Digital Signal Processor (DSP), having control of each speakers independently allows us to create a much more accurate image, but also we are not restricted by what the passive crossover is allowing us to feed to each speaker. We prefer to run the front speaker actively so we can better tune them individually. Since the subwoofer we were using required at least 300-400 watts RMS, we needed to use two separate amps on this build. We wanted to ensure we had enough volume in the truck, so we wanted a speaker that could handle some power in the rears as well.Īdded amplifiers – We knew that we wanted to power the front speakers actively, which means that each tweeter and each door woofer gets their own channel, and the customer wanted rear speakers incorporated into the build. Replaced rear door speakers – We matched the rear speakers to the front and did the C5 6.5” coaxial speakers. We used the C5’s because they offer great performance and they matched up well with the amplifier we used. Replaced front door speakers – We replaced the front door speakers and dash speakers with the JL Audio C5 6.5” components. This truck sounded great and the image in the front was spot-on accurate. Throughout the consultation, I learned that the customer was a huge fan of JL Audio and had used JL in most of his previous systems, so we designed a full JL Audio system with plenty of power and bass to meet the client’s needs. We need to get to know you and your listening preference in order to make suggestions to get you the system you’re in search of.
This is not uncommon for us to see during the discovery phase of the consultation. When we first jumped in his truck to listen to the factory Bang and Olufsen, he turned the volume all the way up and said it wasn’t loud enough. He told us he wanted something with plenty of volume and good bass response. This customer came into our shop after having shopped at some other local places and not finding what he was looking for.
