A quick note of thanks for this write up to @jcardona1
I’ve only done the front two speakers and the passenger side dash (I can’t find the wiring on the driver’s side and have a bunch of aftermarket security wiring in there so I’m not touching that any further), with the sound deadening, and it’s a huge upgrade, especially given the low cost. Head unit is a Pioneer AVH-1330NEX that puts out 50w/channel and is a nice mid-level system for CarPlay, etc.
The PO had done Kenwood speakers before I bought it in ‘05 and the work to make a deeper speaker fit so I was able to leverage that work. It’s a lot of time to get all the sound deadening material installed, but that’s a huge part of the value, it’s always more than you think and a critical part of any premium sound. It’s really not worth that much money to add speakers without the sound damping.
I still have the two rear doors to go, but already modern high end sound for a rig like this. Really stoked to finally be getting this upgrade done.
