Thanks for the shout out bud! I am 1000% satisfied with the swap ... I feel they mellowed out in time, i typically listed at volumes between 17-22. It first the treble was piercing, but now its perfectly integrated. I am still debating doing the rear as well ... i likely will, eventually.
That is a very interesting discovery. Especially considering that quite a few like the Terra Acoustic speakers and say it is a great upgrade over the stock 3.5” speakers. But, I think you may be onto something regarding to the higher load of 6.8 ohms of the TA’s. I would expect them not to play as loud either (maybe that is part of what you noticed).
Interestingly enough I bought the Kicker package from TrailSeven with the coaxial 3.5” for the dash and the Coaxial 6.5” plus the seperate tweeter for the soundbar and directly compared to having the Infinity 307F’s installed in the front and back and the Infinity’s sounded better and 1-2dB louder. My audio background tells me that it has to do with the fact that the kickers are also a heavier load at 4 ohms and because the 6.5” driver is different from the stock 4” mid-bass knee speaker up front. It just sounded out of balance to me from front to back. And again was not as loud as combining the Infinity 3.5’s with the stock 4” driver both front and back..
These are factory speakers, just from a different car ...
That’s the icing on the cake! The sun on this stupid truck is always ‘ok’ at best. Sometimes it’s impressive and sometimes it’s kinda lame … but on average it’s ‘ok’ … the JL subwoofer is much more potent, it’s 2” larger and an extra channel of power.
