2024 RCSB Need upgrade advice!

[popeye2856]

So I'm kinda lost on what I need to upgrade my crappy stereo. I've already got a Rockford P300-12T powered sub + door block off plates(not installed yet). I'd like to fix the bass roll off and replace stock speakers with some nice ones. I'd like to get a nice set of component speakers and amp for them but is a DSP necessary for just 4 speakers plus sub? Should I replace with 6x9 or 6.5? Which LOC? Or do I need one? I've seen custom wire harnesses costing as much as $400 or basic T harness for about $60. Is KEYLOC 200.4 powerful enough for a premium set of components? I had some Audiofrog door speakers years back in a regular cab chevy but I always felt they were under powered with a Sony HU that supposedly put out 45 watts RMS. I've done lots of reading but regular cabs are rare and not much I can find that specifically relates. Seems the more I read the more I get lost. Any and all help is much appreciated

This is the sound system I recommend for your truck:

Sound System

I kid.....I kid.....I think a Kicker KeyLOC 200.4 would be perfect for an RCSB. I replaced my front door/a-pillars speakers with 6.5" components, but only because I got a really good deal on them. I would not have had a an issue keeping 6x9s up front if I needed to.

So is the kicker key 200.4 as good at fixing the bass roll off as the Lci2 pro? That's what I always see recommended

From my understanding, it is better than the LC2i.

Check out post 21 of the below thread. I am 99% sure that our non amp trucks dont have bass roll off. @SoundsGoodStereo can confirm.

I did Kicker 670 speakers/tweeters with kicker 51hs10 sub all powered by kicker key 200.4 with Hush Audio plug and play harness and SGS block off plates and a bit of sound Matt in the doors.

I’m super happy with the results but I’m old and have bad hearing anyways.

Overall it went from sounding like a transistor radio to an actual stereo.

Our base trucks do not have bass roll off.

Thanks, I was unsure about the bass roll off in our trucks. Does the kicker key amp have plenty of power? Looking at some component speakers and don't want to underpower them.

 

[ThumperF150]

Has plenty for me. I’m no where near full volume. Same with the base.

Did Hush Audio bridge the 4 channels down to 2 or is each speaker getting 50 watts?

I have no clue.

It does not have "Bass Roll-off" like the B&O trucks, but it does have an EQ that is applied to the interior speakers. You can defeat this by using ForSCAN, code 727-01-02 in the ACM ASBUILT

 

[popeye2856]

Does this set the EQ to "flat"?

 

[SoundsGoodStereo]

Yes, just make sure you understand what the spreadsheet is telling you to change
