I don't want my phone to be my music source, be it plugged in or wireless. I'm not trying to be hard headed, but my phone doesn't organize the tunes very well for some weird reason. Actually, I have 2 phones, and I'm not going to put my music on my work phone... The other reason is BT sound...
Very cool man! The harness is great, if you don't want to be cutting up your factory wiring for sure. The DSP thing can be as easy or as hard as you want, haha. Your easiest bet would be something like the kicker key LOC. It basically just takes the radio signal and flattens the curve, and...
Fair enough, I can understand where you're coming from. As I stated, I don't want to have to plug in my phone. That's why I want to know if a separate media player can be plugged in and recognized by the truck. I knew from the start I would be upgrading the stereo. I just didn't expect that...
Wow, you sure got a lot from me talking about the USB drive there, hahaha! I guess you're just having a bad day? Perhaps you skipped the part about how my even more basic 2016 FORD Focus can index all of my songs(and allow me to scroll through them while driving). This is basic functionality...
Great work! That sub looks like it belongs there, and great choice on the mids/highs too! Can you tell us more about that harness you got, and where you got it from specifically? So it carries the signal to the amps, but I'm assuming you will have to run the speaker wires back to the front...
I too, am VERY disappointed to hear about these issues with USB! So you guys are telling me that my 2016 Focus se with the basic head unit has better capabilities than this 2023 Maverick?! I love my music, and leave my USB in my focus permanently. I only remove it to add new music to it. It...
Hopefully, you'll get a good email soon. Basically, anywhere that is just painted metal is a good place to start with the deadening. The doors help a lot too, especially with speakers being there. There are people that will pull all the interior panels and put deadening down there, and the...
Oh yeah, I'm going to do the doors and the back wall. If I have extra I will do the rear doors. I have a 36 square foot bulk pack that I'm hoping will be enough to get the major bits done. I intend to use every bit that I have. The sound deadening really does make quite a difference, if done...
Nice! If your job on the sub is any indication, I'm sure that amp rack is going to turn out really well. After I looked closer, I think I can see where you cut it on the picture without the top piece on the enclosure. How much extra depth did you gain making that cut? I really want to try...
Nice work, that looks great! It looks like it belongs there! I restrained myself from ordering the Audison sub just yet, even though I know it should work well. I've pretty much decided that I'm going to build my own enclosure too. I'm just trying to decide which direction I want to go with...
I really do appreciate the input Colin! I read a lot of your post on your setup, before I made this one, btw. Good info! The Dynaudio Components I ordered were on sale, because they have come out with the MKII version, which I don't think they're selling here in the states. I know I'm taking...
Hey, you were warned about it being boring... I made a boring post, and you contributed nothing to it, so I guess that makes us even:ROFLMAO: Well, at least you have a truck :(
This is an awesome build! I'm in the planning stage for the most part, but I have ordered the mids and highs. My question is, how many amps do you think your system is pulling, and how is the hybrid dealing with it? Or... what's the combined fuse rating for your amplifiers? I'm really...
I know this is a lot of reading, and probably a bore for many of you, but I have to find something to dream on while waiting for my Hybrid Maverick :D First, a little backstory. I'm an audio nut, and I LOVE my music. I drive 50K+ miles a year, and the tunes are going the whole time. I like...
Thanks for the pics Mark! I was just messing with ya on the upholstery, function is form after all, so I get it. I bet you have so much more useable space in the back of that Maverick now!
Oh wow, you did it proper on that seat removal! I don't know about the color palette or the cushions, but you made it all fit very well. I'd like to see some more pictures of this from a wider angle. I like the idea of what you did there!
I'm a sound quality guy, and don't care if everyone else hears it. That being said, there's no getting around the need for a good sub for quality sound. I love my music, so it is one of the things I enjoy most with all of my driving. It drives me nuts when it just doesn't sound good. I also...
I was kind of thinking the same thing about removing the rear seat completely, whenever I get my truck(scheduled for July). I'm a copier technician, and I keep a lot of parts in my vehicle. I almost never have passengers, and I've removed the back seat on my previous cars too. All of that...
