• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

For all my fellow audiophiles in here - wanted to share a few of my recent upgrades. I already had the Rockford Fosgate amps and 12” Alpine Type-R sub from my previous vehicle. Added the Rockford Fosgate Punch speakers all around, DSR sound processor, SPL box and bass knob to tie it all together. The recessed storage area in the rear cargo space made for the perfect hide-away for the amps, DSR and wiring. My installer mentioned the Telluride was very easy to work on and that they’ve made some drastic improvements to their wiring and technology over the years - he was impressed!

I also had them install LED lighting in the front and second row foot wells, which is controlled through an app, and RS Terminator Series LED headlights. If you’re looking for LED headlights, I highly recommend these. They are extremely bright, have a nice pattern and are fan-less, so no bulky fan to finagle into the housing. The base knob and on/off switch for the LED foot well lights were installed on the front of the fuse box panel, to the left of the steering wheel. This makes both easily accessible and allows me to replace only the front panel if I need to revert back to stock. Overall, I’m beyond pleased with how it turned out. It looks good and, more importantly, sounds amazing!

Nice install. Does your fade still work? I am trying to decide where to get my line level inputs from for a sub amp. I am not sure if the front speakers are full range or filtered or if the rear speakers are full range or not.

Thanks! And good question. I didn’t think to test that after install. I’ll check later and report back.
 
Question. Can you still make calls with your new setup and also how does you navigation’s voice work?

I tested just about everything today and nothing has changed from stock. Still able to use my fade, driver talk, navigation and Bluetooth/CarPlay capabilities. I had to play with the volumes on a few things but otherwise it sounds/operates the same as before.
