I had an SE (unless they came out with one, no HD was made for our truck) before getting a topper. I haul lumber regularly, and I just propped it on the tailgate and then simply used a bungee cord to hold the diamondback panel down. For sheet goods I’d close the diamondback and leave the...

Right about now really wishing I had one solid body (like a 4Runner). $1,500 full length rack is a little easier to swallow than the $2,300 for cab + topper. Ouch!!

To be honest, I’m not sure. I’d need to compare the backs of multiple subs because I suspect the cage / magnet / coil design has just as much to do with it as the depth. The overall depth wasn’t an issue, just the “bottom width”. A sub with more cone-shape (think more like the shape of...

Well it’s likely conflicting just based on the language used. The cubby (and stealth box) have slanted back wall. The cage of the 10TW3 hits that slanted backwall. So not really the bottom of the box. The bottom corner of the sub hits the slanted side wall of the box. But like I said that’s...

I didn’t try the 10TW1. I have the 10TW3 and I can confirm it does not fit in the stealth box. I ended up taking the stealth box apart and using the top as a template to make my own baffle. Then I used the factory storage cubby as a mold to make a fiberglass box. The 10TW3 sounds amazing. If the...

Which swing do you have your 1up rack connected to? Like it? I need to get one

I wish this was a factory feature of toppers themselves. I wish they had a large bulb seal around the windows that would compress and seal as they put the topper on. As someone who frequently travels in Northern MN where the winter temps are -20 to -40, I'd like to be able to open the windows...

Oh you’re one of those types. Got it. Well seeing as I design and build home theaters that go sub 20 all the time, I know very well what I’m talking about. My own theater has several pro 21 and 24” drivers from Celestion and Dayton. And I don’t care how many TW3s you have or the volume of your...

I quite literally design and build speakers and subs for home theater. While I agree internal enclosure volume is important for most subs, there is very little difference to Xmax, sound quality, output, etc for the shallow mount options (the only options that work) from JL and Hertz for this...

Would still love to see pics of the subs (I build custom home theater speakers / subs, and run a millwork shop)- always interested in seeing what people have done.

Have pictures? Where did you put the 4 JL subs?

I get a bit tired of carrying / storing ratchet straps. I love the retractable straps, but every option I’ve seen has been for 150/250 and not for us. Has anyone seen any that work in our beds? TIA

I loved the KO3 for the first year. after 15k miles, they progressively got louder. I've rotated with every oil change. Now, at 28k miles, I'm shopping. Can't handle the noise any more.

Thanks for the link! Interesting they left a speaker out of the mix...

Do you know, is there a matching front-center speaker to these?

I don't have a 3D printer myself, but I would buy them from someone if they printed a set!

They come out pretty easily. I took them both out while installing my amp and sub. If I remember right, they're held in with just a few of those plastic rivet things and maybe one bolt each (toward the middle seat side). I used one as a mold for the fiberglass box I made for my subwoofer...

yup, I suspect you’re right about both. Amp is ideally the primary way, but highly efficient speakers may find some added SPL. Measuring the sensitivity is kind of a pain, but it’s not hard to measure the impedance. If those speakers were replaced with a lower ohm load, and if more efficient...

Maybe I’m just old then. I understand your explanation about the “surround” and “sound stage” as I design and build home theaters and speakers themselves. Maybe I’m just a purist, but for music, I always turn surround off and listen in stereo and was hoping that in stereo the front and rear...

When I shift the balance to the 2 rear speakers, it's VERY quiet, as if it's not getting the same sound level that the front speakers receive. I understand the front has more speakers / components, but it is quite noticeable that the overall volume / quality from the rear speakers is much...
