Description
SMS Stage 1 Chevrolet Truck SQ Package
This SMS Stage 1 Chevrolet Truck SQ Package is a recommended sound-quality focused upgrade path for Chevy and GM truck customers who want a cleaner front stage, improved rear fill, controlled underseat bass, and a cleaner amplifier layout using a single Kicker LX 7-channel amplifier.
Recommended Package Includes
- ARC Audio X2 6.2 6.5-inch 2-way component speakers for the front stage
- ARC Audio X2 602 6.5-inch 2-way coaxial speakers for rear fill
- Kicker LX1300.7 7-channel amplifier for front, rear, and subwoofer power
- Two ARC Audio X210 10-inch subwoofers, final impedance selected during quote
- SMS-built underseat enclosure designed for the specific truck and system goal
Why The LX 7-Channel Makes Sense
- One premium amplifier instead of separate 4-channel and mono amplifiers
- Cleaner wiring, cleaner mounting, and a simpler system layout
- Better fit for underseat and behind-seat truck installs where space matters
- Leaves the package easy to understand for customers: front, rear, and bass from one amp platform
- Supports SMS pushing Kicker LX while still using ARC Audio X2 speakers for the SQ side of the package
Best For
- Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra truck owners wanting a clean SQ upgrade
- Customers who want better clarity, stronger imaging, and controlled underseat bass
- Daily-driver systems where sound quality, reliability, and factory usability matter
- Customers stepping up from factory Bose or non-Bose audio into a properly built SMS system
Vehicle-Specific Notes
- Integration parts vary by year, trim, Bose/non-Bose system, ANC, radio platform, and factory amplifier setup.
- Rear speaker size may vary by truck. SMS may substitute the correct ARC Audio X2 coaxial size during final quote.
- DSP, OEM integration, wiring, sound treatment, installation, and tuning are selected and quoted based on the vehicle.
- The SMS underseat enclosure is built to match the truck cab, seat clearance, subwoofer choice, and sound goal.
SMS Tuning Direction
- Front components are tuned for clean stage height, vocal clarity, and smooth daily-driver response.
- Rear speakers are used as controlled rear fill, not to overpower the front stage.
- Dual 10-inch underseat bass is tuned for tight, musical low-end support.
- Final crossover, gain, EQ, and protection settings are handled during installation.
Important Notes
- This is a product recommendation and quote package, not a universal plug-and-play kit.
- Final parts list depends on vehicle year, cab style, factory system, and customer goal.
- Installation, integration, wiring, DSP, sound treatment, and tuning labor are quoted separately unless included on the final invoice.
