SMS Stage 3 Chevrolet Truck SQ/SQL DSP Package | ARC Audio RS + Falcon + Kicker LX3000.1

SMS Stage 3 Chevrolet Truck SQ/SQL DSP Package

This SMS Stage 3 Chevrolet Truck SQ/SQL DSP Package is the upper-level Chevy and GM truck recommendation for customers who want a premium ARC Audio RS active front stage, high-channel DSP control, a cleaner full-range amplifier layout, and stronger dedicated subwoofer power.

Recommended Package Includes

• ARC Audio RS 1.0 tweeters for the front high-frequency stage
• ARC Audio RS 3.0 or RS 4.0 midrange speakers, final size selected by vehicle and fabrication plan
• ARC Audio RS 6.0 6.5-inch midbass speakers for the front doors
• ARC Audio RS rear-fill speaker option, final selection confirmed during quote
• ARC Audio Falcon 12-channel DSP amplifier for active speaker control, EQ, time alignment, and full-range amplification
• Kicker LX3000.1 mono amplifier for dedicated subwoofer power
• SMS-built underseat bass enclosure designed for the truck, subwoofer selection, and output goal

Why This Is Stage 3

• Moves from ARC AS into the higher-end ARC RS speaker line
• Uses the ARC Audio Falcon as the DSP and full-range control center
• Separates subwoofer power onto the Kicker LX3000.1 instead of using a shared 7-channel amplifier
• Supports a true active front-stage layout with more tuning control and stronger system headroom
• Built for customers who want a premium SQL/SQ truck system without stepping into an extreme SPL build

Best For

• Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra owners wanting a premium active system
• Customers who care about staging, imaging, clarity, and strong controlled bass
• Factory Bose or non-Bose trucks receiving a full OEM integration and DSP-tuned upgrade
• Builds where the customer wants the RS front stage to be the main focus, with bass power handled separately

Vehicle-Specific Notes

• Integration parts vary by truck year, trim, Bose/non-Bose system, ANC, radio platform, and factory amplifier setup.
• Midrange size, dash location, A-pillar work, sail panel work, and rear-fill layout are finalized during quote.
• Subwoofer model, impedance, enclosure type, and electrical support are selected based on the customer’s output goal.
• Sound treatment, wiring, fabrication, installation, OEM integration, and final tuning are quoted per vehicle.

SMS Tuning Direction

• Front RS tweeter, midrange, and midbass channels are tuned active through the Falcon DSP platform.
• Rear speakers are used as controlled rear fill, not to pull the image behind the customer.
• The LX3000.1 gives the subwoofer section dedicated power and separates bass demand from the full-range amplifier.
• Final crossover, gain, EQ, time alignment, level matching, and protection settings are completed 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, fabrication level, and customer goal.
• Installation, integration, wiring, sound treatment, fabrication, enclosure work, electrical support, and tuning labor are quoted separately unless included on the final invoice.
