    Seat cover wrinkles/Warranty issues...thoughts?

    Take it apart and fix it yourself. That is just the work of some meat head mechanic who normally does transmissions who was told to figure out a seat cover, I took my seat apart to fix my broken seat heater, I can guarantee, then the meat head mechanic to your seat apart, he ripped the tie...

    Gas Mileage Changes After Cam Phaser Recall Performed

    Keep in mind, most gas companies switch their blend in the winter to add more ethanol. Less MPG is a side effect. WINTER GASOLINE In winter, gasoline blends have a higher Reid vapor pressure, meaning they evaporate more easily and allow gasoline to ignite more easily to start your car in cold...

    Cruise control Bracket for Gen 2 Raptor

    Well crap. Dealership wants to charge me MY SISTER an arm and a leg $220 for the part (Raptor tax as the regular F150 bracket is like $40) and God knows what for the labor. FIXED it for you :)

    amp rms vs speaker rms

    test tone is not ideal...you need a pink noise generator and an RTA to do it correctly. here's how I set Gaines. Gaines on amp all the way down....turn volume up to 75-85%%....ensure there is no clipping on input to amp (many amps have a meter built in for this) Then put on many kinds of...

    Engine/Turbos blown under 1100 miles

    using the slow ass paddles at wide open throttle is a no no......I am guessing, you hit the rev limiter because the paddles shift so slow....and then it tried to shift to 2nd after you already were in the rev loiter (where fuel and boost were cut), then when the shift happened, the truck had to...

    Bigger sub in the back

    It is your money. Who am I to stop you from burning it for minuscule upgrades. Yes, you "can" just replace a set of speakers. But they are not the problem in the B&O set up. The cheap 8 watts of power per channel, and shady B&O tuning to try and cover for 8 watts of power is why this sound...

    Bigger sub in the back

    As I stated in my build.....I did run the factory speakers for a day during my install (I did my doors last). The factory paper speakers were loud as hell when supplied with 75 watts er Chanel. Contrary to what most people think. too much power does not Destroy speaks (within reason) too...

    Bigger sub in the back

    The good news is the NAV A2B has a full 10 channels of output. So you are only limited by your own creativity. I would skip the center Chanel, and skip the headrest speakers. So a quality 5 channel amp (using passive crossovers) is what you are looking for. But, the money is yours......the...

    Bigger sub in the back

    Sorry...you are just wrong. Even grabbing the high level at the sub, if after the B&O processing. Anything after say 18 on the volume knob and the bass starts to roll off. Your 2017 was not a B&O system. As I said earlier......ACCU BASS or any other electronic system that tries to rebuild...

    Bigger sub in the back

    That's the point....ithe B&O is connected to the car via the CANBUS system. there are no "inputs" to grab. You would have to grab a signal after the amp, which then puts you back in the problem of B&O process rolling off low frequencies. Don't get me started on "ACCU BASS"......that is a...
