They'll just use more goober. More is always better! :crackup:

My exterior (outside) temp readout is 3 to 4 degrees HIGHER than actual temp. Most vehicles have some method to adjust that temp readout by making offset adjustments. Anyone come across a "hidden menu" to do this, or found this section in Forscan? I looked through Forscan for about 10 min and...

Oh, then please measure F3 of the doors speakers in "flat EQ" and post that, and see how it differs from my quick measurement. Note than one can easily have 30 Hz F3 (or even a 20Hz F3) with a pair of headphones or earbuds with miniscule drivers. Could I drive a vehicle cabin or room with...

I will volunteer that I have been practicing electro and psycho acoustical analysis and system design, professionally for 40 years, so pretty sure this won't shatter my dim brain.... The XLT door speakers appear to have an F3 of 30Hz or so (I didn't measure exactly) in "flat eq" mode. They are...

It doesn't look rendered, given the faint reflected images, and in any case, the calibration markings must have been considered in prototypes--again assuming that no other Ford has this exact same dash config-- before settling on % for production. Given that, it is reasonable to suspect the...

And then there's this Maverick power meter, which I've seen a few times in reviews. It implies 180kw, or ~ 240HP max....

XL and XLT are not HD. Just plain 1950's technology, stereo. And it blows on the XL, XLT.

In another thread I posted about this terrible reception and fading from stereo to mono on metro radio stations. I noticed from service manual schematics that it mentions a 2nd FM antenna, called FM2. I can find no other reference to it in the service manual re: location and no luck spotting...

6ga battery leads won't materially limit the 220v DC output of the battery, either. The base resistance of (generously) 18' of 6ga wire (supply and return paths) is 0.0063 ohms. At 94kW peak draw @ 220volts, the voltage drop in the cabling is ~2.7v, or 1.2%. At more mundane battery current...

Some quick thoughts... The specifications list the peak traction motor output at 94kW, or ~120HP, or 173lb-ft peak torque. The continuous traction motor rating isn't specifically listed, but roughly derived from subtracting published HP from the ICE, thus 29HP. The traction motor...

For those that don't just replace the inserts, there is also the old school "Rubber Renue" which has been used for decades to make hardened rubber parts more supple for period of time. Isopropal will clean rubber, but will further dry it out and harden, which will exacerbate chatter. Glass...

My '23 XLT Hybrid has them--built 9/23

I've been buying these refills as bulk and replacing myself for some time now on my vehicles. Price varies from $6 to $8/pair. Get 12 to 20 months out of them, depending on ozone/UV exposure. Haven't replaced the Maverick's yet (about 8 months on the factory blades), but the refills *look*...

Nice install! If you don't set the EQ flat, there is almost nothing for the sub to use below about 55Hz. And, unless you have some narrow band EQ, that 70Hz narrow haystack built into the factory settings would have driven you (at least me) insane, when amplified by the sub! As for your...

The compromise Ford (or Harmon, I gather) made was to bump output at 70 to 100Hz (the thumpy part of music, which the average Joe is attracted to), which increases the excursion roughly 6x over "flat", for the door speakers. In exchange, Harmon had to rapidly rolloff the LF below 55Hz, so the...

Adding to an older thread, as it was the only one with 'FM2" hit... Trying to understand why the FM reception is AWFUL on my XLT. Noticed on the SYNC2 system there is an FM2 antenna connection. Has anyone eyeballed the control unto verify whether anything is connected to that? If yes, where...

The XL and XLT speaker circuits (both front and rear) have from the factory a LARGE ~70Hz boost and then rapidly rolloff below that to prevent over-excursion of the factory speakers. The factory rear speakers also have a series capacitor to limit LF excursion. That capacitor is irrelevant to the...

Anyone ever try to talk to the radio module, and whether there is any RF/IF gain settings one can play with? Or better, replaced a Sync2 with a Sync 3 to get the better reception and HD radio on XLT's?

Did you shut the truck off and restart, to complete the update?
