    GEN 2 OEM Genuine Ford Parts Scalable Shock Security System Kit

    The shock sensor disarms itself when the truck detects the fob. If I go out to my truck with it locked and do not have the fob with me, the tailgate will not open and any banging or vibrations will set the alarm off. If I have the fob in my pocket, the tailgate will open and the shock sensor...

    I’d strongly recommend putting that setting back to factory and not messing with any of the forscan acm settings.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Use the JL and highlevel for now. Perfectly fine. When you install the zen, you will taking all the b&o components out anyways.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    You can definitely use the JL. I only recommend the accubass for bass management. It’s not great but it better than nothing.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Go pick up an oscilloscope and RTA and tell me the signal quality difference between high and low. I can let you borrow mine. Low level has a noise differential. As in, the more you amplify/boost, the more susceptible you are to noise. That’s it. With higher frequencies, this can be problematic...

    No. You absolutely can! That’s my point, you can utilize the B&O sub output. Please re-read everything I have posted.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Then you will have to modify the foam padding on the back wall. Also keep in mind that your back seat will no longer operate without forcing it in the up position. The face of the sub will literally be pushed up against the seat back when folded up. You won’t be able to use the sub in this...

    You can put a single sub under the rear seat with a quick disconnect and then you modify nothing.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    There is a major difference between the Sony enclosure and b&o. The b&o enclosure is ported. Having a sub in that enclosure with no idea of what frequency the b&o enclosure is tuned to will make it sound even worse.

    My point is, you don’t have spend more than 200 bucks to do it right and have a drastic improvement.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    I’ve always been of the mindset that if I am going to do something, I’m going to do it right. Audiophile or not, you don’t have to spend a ton of money, build something custom, or make modifications to do it right. Utilizing the stock enclosure, in my opinion, is just lazy.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    It’s a common misconception that high level is “cleaner” than low level. It doesn’t mean one signal is high quality or higher fidelity than the other. There is just a greater chance for noise with high level BUT if you have adequate power and ground with low resistance, it’s not something you...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Because the existing enclosure is only designed for the oem sub. By putting a new sub in an enclosure that it’s not designed for, you aren’t improving anything.

    You do not have to use the ZEN for just an amp/sub combo. I assure you.

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Yes, you can upgrade just the sub with B&O. Use the sub signal coming out of the B&O amp to supply signal to your sub amp. To combat any eq roll off, utilize an amp from AudioControl that has Accubass built in. These amps are designed to eliminate this roll off. There is absolutely no reason to...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Yes, you need the zen and 5 channel amp. You need dedicated power and ground for your amp. The only component that will continue to use the factory harness is the zen. When you install the zen, all b&o components are removed from the truck (sub, amp, processor). You will be able to tie into the...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Just set your expectations accordingly. Without a sub, things are going to sound pretty flat. No midbass can do what a sub does below 150hz.

    Morel Maximo’s will outperform those Focal’s.

    Best audio set up for 2019 screw

    A dsp is not necessary. A dsp is what will take your system from good to amazing. I highly recommend a dsp but if you are only into louder/wall of sound stuff with no staging or imaging then skip the dsp. If clarity and imaging is important to you, then a dsp allows you to achieve that...

    Car Stereo speaker harness adapter for B&O

    There isn’t a speaker wiring harness. It’s a usb that runs from the ACM to the amp. Signal is digital.

    Yes they will. I would also recommend you install sound deadener and closed cell foam on the door and as a sandwich between the door and speaker.
