For what its worth, I have the OVS topper on mine. It is a lot less expensive than the SmartCap or the GFC campers (like a LOT less). For the price I have been very happy with the build quality and fitment. 6 locking hatches.
It is flat packed and shipped to your door. Easy to assemble. If you...
I'm glad I was able to give some ideas and suggestions, your setup looks amazing! A much cleaner install than mine, I didn't even bother carpeting my own install lol. And I agree completely, I was very impressed and happy with the sound quality achieved in such a small cab. I was not expecting...
This community has helped me a ton in the past, I'm happy I was able to begin to pay it back!
Yeah, I looked into those and it would probably be the easiest fix.. but that's $100 that I have to take away from other mods like finally upgrading the leaf springs or switching to solid driveshaft...
I used the seat bracket bolt that can be seen in the photo between the amp and the line converter. My amp has a ground processing feature so I wasn't too concerned about sanding down the paint though that certainly won't hurt. Please ignore all the dust and the emergency TP roll, we adventure in...
Great note, definitely was a concern I've forgotten about by now when I was first installing the sub. Granted, I've had a W6 in the past and it definitely jumped up and down quite a bit more than the little 8" Alpine I'm running currently ? Under my seat you can see a light impression from...
I left the wires to the speakers as is and utilized a t-harness similar to the one found here:
(I CANNOT STATE IF THIS IS THE EXACT ONE I USED OR IF THIS EVEN FITS OUR TRUCKS - JUST AN EXAMPLE)...
I was worried about the volume of the boxes I've seen too which is what led me to use the OEM bin. I figured I wouldn't get the same volume unless I went with custom fiberglass box. After wrapping inside and out with dynamat I was really impressed with the output. Inside the cab is BANGIN but...
Thats where the LC7i line output converter came into play. It takes the signal from the deck and filters it based on how you tune it (lots of videos on youtube about setting one up properly) then sends that signal back to the inline amp. Makes a huge difference in just about any setup and allows...
I did the install myself. Put in a LCi7 line output converter next to the JL monoblock powering the sub and mounted both of those to some MDF that I glued to the back wall behind the carpet. Installed a 6 channel inline amp hidden behind the dash to give some life to the factory XLT speakers...
Don't have any photos to share at the moment, I'll see if I can dig some up. I took the passenger side storage bucket from under the rear seat, wrapped both sides in dynamat, then attached some 3/4 MDF to the top using butyl sealant tape and screws. Has held up since 2019 when I installed it and...
We got it on the truck last night. All in all, pretty pleased with it. Construction is of pretty good quality, obviously not on the same level as RSI and GFC but for the price I paid I can't complain. 2 points near the rear of the topper where it meets the truck bed bulk head allow water to leak...
Well, I decided not to cancel the order and it just showed up this evening. Hoping to get it built and installed on Friday provided I'm done with the garage remodel by then (priorities and all ??). Not super stoked about how it came on the pallet but my Roofnest was done much worse and the box...
Wes, obviously you are invested in GFC. You already mentioned you work on marketing for them, thus I assume you earn affiliate commission or something. That being said, I always avoid brands that like to talk shit about their competition. I just specked out a TOPPER from GFC to be as close to...
I won't argue that GFC is by far the superior option, especially compared to other options we have on the market. That being said, GFC raining supreme is not really the topic of discussion here.
Is OVS perfect? Probably not.
Will it suit a weekend warrior? I don't know yet, but I'll be finding...
