It may be a generational gap/music choice.
I had a truck with a bigger sub 20 yrs ago that was more body shaking. This one doesn’t do that, but it greatly enhanced the sound for me. Sorry if I mischaracterized my experience.Sponsored

For those that have done the upgrade, is it smart to go ahead buy some clips? If so, which ones? From amazon I am guessing. Thanks for help on this. My sub arrived today. I need to order the amp, some sound deadening, clips, and a free weekend.

clips?
Bigfx from the precious page said he ordered some clips from amazon. I am guessing as a safety measure in case he broke some he will have new ones on hand. That is the kind of prep I am looking for. I am guessing the clips from the interior panels.
I installed mine tonight. If they’re easy to source, getting a couple extra blue clips is good piece of mind. I had to break open the Gorilla Glue for one of mine. Luckily the orange clip you can see in the picture didn’t break.
I still need to install Forscan, getting the license took a lot longer than expected, so you might want to do that the day before.
This thread had all the info I needed. Thank you everyone

Most of the clips don't really break, they may come out of the slots but can be easily slipped back in.
The only one that seeks vulnerable to to breaking is the one by the cargo light at the olastic welds. So e plastic glue can fix that easily.

That was a problem for me. I used JB Weld to fix that issue in mine. The plastic welds didn’t hold, but the blue clip/pin did!

Ah good call. I still need to embark on this install. I have everything I need I guess, except for clips in case I break some, which I hope I don’t!

These are the ones I ordered from a recommendation. Cheap enough to have on hand. I plan to replace the one I broke.

Thanks and if I have some clips leftover I will share.
I agree. I think the vast majority of people will be just fine with the 6.75” sub and speaker swaps but it isn’t better than my old 10 year old Bose system. It’s inspired me to go down the rabbit hole of car audio.

How long did it take to get Forscan activated? I just registered about 15 minutes ago but haven’t received an email yet.
