Washed, clay barred the drivers side, dropped my last nice sized piece of clay, used polishing compound on the rest and got a coat of Collonite on this evening.
Chance of snow by week’s end, so happy to get a fresh coat of wax on as the weather turns.

Looks much better. How long did it take you to install them?

Where is the objective evidence that the "rear channels are clamped"?

I have read that but I am not believing that is actually the case. There is plenty of low frequency response from the rear speakers. My thought is that someone posted that once and it became the rule. So unless someone can produce a frequency response plot for the rear speakers vs the front speakers I am not buying it. With my setup anyway it is sounding pretty good for the acoustics a truck provides.

Bunch of adds this week: Borla Touring dual side exit exhaust, S&B CAI and AMS turbo inlet tubes. Been raining too much to really test it out but great first impression.

Nice addons! Do you get any sound out of the turbos now?

I tested its and my evasive maneuver capability. Subjective score, A-

Going 50 mph on a 2 lane highway when this woman never sees me, pulls out right in front of me, between a guardrail and an oncoming vehicle.

Everything went much better than expected, but I do have some very minor damage to running board, wheel cap, and fender flare, and running board put a bit of a hole in her body panel.

Also, why to have a dash camera 101...I have a GPS antenna on my camera that shows a max speed in the time before of 3 mph under the speed limit

Watching the video myself it still surprises me how close I got the guardrail seemingly without touching it, did all I could to get away from her lol
