Have a custom stereo system in your ride? Post it up! I'm shopping around and would love to hear what components people are happy with. Here's what I've decided to go with so far.. Pioneer head unit with the rest JL Audio:

RECEIVER -- Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT Navigation receiver

AMP 1 -- 4 Channel -- JL Audio JX360/4

COMPONENT SPEAKERS -- Front Door & Rear Deck -- 2 sets of JL Audio C5-570x's

AMP 2 -- Mono -- JL Audio JX1000/1D

ENCLOSED SUBWOOFER -- JL Audio CLS110RG-W7 10" 1500W 3-ohm Subwoofer Enclosure

Dealer also doing 20% tint all around, installing a Viper 5902 alarm system, and throwing in a Valentine One radar detector.

Total price tag = $3,604.96 (not including install)

Also deliberating if I want to add the rear reverse cam...

 

Stay away from kicker and pioneer speakers. Go with Hertz or Memphis and u will be more than happy, trust me

 

Easier said than done! Can you point me to a Hertz dealer?

 

Of hand I don't even remember what I have exactly. I know my door subs are stock powered by a Focal Solid amp. Focal components in the doors. Focal coaxials in the back. speakers are powered by another Focal Solid amp. Pioneer head unit. Passenger side door sub just blew out though so they're gettign replaced with either Kicker or Pioneer because I refuse to build out on the door. Damn things stick out far enough so as it is. My last system in my Expedition was all Memphis. I loved it. Memphis makes great stuff.

 

Does anyone know the size of the speakers in the front doors and rear deck on the standard 2012s (not the upgraded Shaker system)? I emailed my salesman at Ford and haven't heard back (shocking)... delivery still 5 weeks away. /fingertap

Also updated my shopping list in the first post of this thread, I received a quote today from a local dealer and can't wait to a) get the car! and b) hook it up with a killer system.

 

I went with the Shelby Kicker system. Way too easy not to love it. The kicker speakers sound fantastic.

 

Updated again, received a cheaper quote today with better components. I'm psyched. Now all JL Audio.

 

they are 6x8s but you will have to get 5x7s. and if you want some hertz i can sell you some cause im an installer at the dealer here in macon, ga. they are worth every penny believe me. i have memphis in my car now but will soon be swapping to hertz.

 

jl is junk unless you are goin with all their high end stuff

 

tell me exactly what u want and i can get u a quote and walk you through how to install it all
