So on a '14 SGS - adding Speaker Lids, 7.1's and a BT4160 - do I flash? If so, in what configuration?

I currently do not have an activated fader and would like to have that as an option also.

Don't know about the RF's. I used an Alpine MRV-F300 with my 62.11i's...works great. Reasonable price on it too.

I have one RF over the radio and I'll be adding another soon. There seems to be room for two above the radio. Can't speak for the other speakers, but I have the kappa's and they sound great. They others may sound better but cost a lot more. If your an audiophile or have money to burn, then I would consider the others, if not you will be very satisfied with the kappa's.

No room to stack. check out this thread i came across from DaaPossum, he has pics of the two side by side on his '14. He also mentions the mount he used. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/audio...1-27-15-a.html

I had the flash done about a year ago and I just ordered the magic box. I'm gonna play around to see what sounds better.
