That's the one I ordered. I'm like you there. I don't want to be trouble shooting cables too.

I would imagine so, but I do everything myself. I'm not paying somebody to do something I can do. Besides, DIY is half the fun.

I guess I'm going to open this can of worms with Forscan. I just ordered the cable from Amazon, lol. I'm going to be doing some research in the next few days to see if I can nail down the right changes. A quick search on the net showed me an overwhelming amount of info, so I'll need to...

I really need to look into Forscan more. I've never used, because there wasn't anything that bugged me enough to dig into it. That is, until now. I don't like boosting EQ settings on dsp to near maximum and the same goes for gain levels on amps, so this may finally make it worth it to me...

Oh really? That makes me feel a little less crazy then, lol. I know there was one guy that said he could flatten the factory signal with forscan, but I don't know if that was full spectrum or just above 35 hz. I had not heard about the 35 hz cutoff, until you mentioned it. It does make...

Ha, you replied as I was updating! I'm running a sound decisions enclosure under the bench seat. You're using signal from a B&O system, and I'm working with the base system. That could be part of our differences too. I think that combined with the other contributing factors pretty much sums...

Just a little more info on this. I did take the head unit out of the loop and do some quick testing from the dsp forward. It does appear the factory head unit is limited below 25hz. I get almost nothing with a 20hz tone through head unit playing straight from a usb drive. There is definitely...

Have any of you guys tried pulling fuse 11, and seeing if that changed anything on the sleep issues? If I recall, that's the fuse for the telematics of the truck, and I'm curious if the truck is constantly trying to "communicate" with Ford. Pulling the fuse won't hurt anything, other than make...

I've been thinking about this some more. I still stand by my sub placement opinion/analysis. However, I think there may be something else going on here too. I'm wondering if the frequency ability of the head unit may also being playing a part in the very low bass fall off. I mean as in the...

That graphic is just showing my EQ settings for the sub channel, nothing more. If you can't tell a difference, it may come down to the music you're listening to. Most music doesn't have much content below 40-50 hz. Your Kicker Key Amp likely did some adjusting of the signal as well. I don't...

While dialing in my upgraded stereo setup, I was having a heck of a time getting the bass to sound right to me. Having had aftermarket stereos with DSP in all my recent vehicles, I know how the bass should sound on a lot of my music. My sub is a Hertz MPS 250 S2 mounted in the storage area...

I would like to replace the screen and the whole damn head unit/stereo! The Ford system is glitchy. BT connection comes and goes. The screen resolution is low. The stereo sucks for us folks that love good sound and tunes and usually install aftermarket stuff, but we are stuck with the...

I'm not saying they don't post, but most of the posts about issues involve people using the Ford app. Simple solution, don't use the app, hahaha. Okay, all joking aside, things like this bother me. Well, they bother me that Ford hasn't figured it out. I'm a technician by trade, and find/fix...

Just search for audio builds on here, and you'll find it. I know there's a lot to go through, but you'll get there :D I know he made a fiberglass enclosure to do. I don't have the patience to sort through the search results, lol.

You'll have a hard time getting a 12 under there, especially if you want it ported too. The issue is the diameter of the 12. You'd have to remove the plastic bins and go full on custom build to do it. In my opinion, it isn't worth the extra effort to get a 12 under there, unless you're...

Any metal on metal sound needs to be checked into immediately. I have seen where someone had a bad wheel bearing, and of course there's the "common" CV joint issues with these trucks.

I've not seem any mention of it here, but traditionally the Ford radios start to pull bass pass the half way mark. I don't know if that's the case with the Maverick radio or not yet. I'm currently fighting with an install on mine,lol. I usually tune my amps to where I RARELY need the volume...

They're probably just trying to cover their arse, in case somebody does something stupid. That way they can say they didn't recommend it. Truth be told, you'd could go double or even triple that 30A recommendation and be perfectly fine. That is, assuming you use an actual turn on lead for the...

I know there are people on here with hybrids running multiple amps with the actual fuses on the amps being around 100amps total with no issues. I think as long as you keep it reasonable with total fuse rating being under 100 amps, you'll probably be okay. A good class D amp will be able to do...

I got the weird chime today. It was after I hooked up my DSP and amp to the truck. Granted, I had been working on the truck all day Saturday doing sound deadening, installing speakers, running wiring. I didn't do the final wiring until today when I actually connected the DSP/amp up to the...
