Have not seen much of a difference. But for the first 2 months w/o the cap I did not use heat or a/c. Since the cap was purchased I have used a heater; and now the a/c. So it is really difficult to tell. Back in the day when I had a Nissan truck and added an aluminum shell; there was no change...

It weighs about 135 lbs, so 2 strong people could likely remove the cap; but there are electrical connections for the brake light and for the optional internal light; so I don't know if those connections have a quick release. As I recall instal was about $235.

There are no cheap caps at this time , unless you want a canvas one. I paid $4200 for an ARE MX w/ light, folding front slider, and instal. I love it; but cannot really justify what I paid. But this Mav is likely my last vehicle, so what the heck.

It really depends on what you are going to use the Mav for. If you tow big loads an eco is better, for off roading the 4 wheel drive would be best. If most of you driving is local, for me it would be foolish to give up the hybrid. And then there is personal preferences, which says get what you...

Thanks. I try to be civil, but do not always get there. I know it is sometimes hard when we have strong feelings.

Really?,sad.

That maybe reasonable. But they are my ears, my $, my Mav, and my decision. Before I paid for the install I listened to Voodoo Lounge(Stones) CD and loved the upgrade. In any event, it does not excuse bad manners. Keep on trucking and have a great day.

Suggest that before you go on another rant you read all of the posts. I am very happy with the sound quality the new speakers have provided. I chose them for the many reasons given, and would do so again. I am not making any recommendations as what others should do. With my health issues it is...

Again thank you for your input; you have made your point. FYI I did not say the labor was $250 ; I said I could have saved $250 if I could have done the work myself . As you know shops generally charge more for components than say Amazon. Considering the time that was required to do the work, I...

No I got your meaning; thanks for your input. The primary reason for using Kar Tunes was my complete confidence in the quality of their work. I have used them for over 20 years; and was reluctant to go with another company. That did some what limit my speaker options within my budget. I think...

The shop recommended component, but they were $100 more. So I opted for these. They said not to worry they would make these work. I did not ask how. The lows, mids, and highs are so much better; I cannot believe that the B & O was so crappy. They gave me the old door speakers., they were cheap...

Took my 24 Mav Lariat to Kar tunes (Tempe, AZ). Replaced the B & O front door speakers with Hertz DCX-1653 two way 6.5" speakers. Also had Sound Shield added to both doors. It was not cheap. Had I done the work myself (which , at my age, was not really possible); I could have saved about $250...

Thanks for the reply, good luck.

why the change, and at what cost?

what kind of battery did the dealer give you; was the same as the dead one ?

Same here; but I am an old fart.

I have lived in the Phx area for more than 70 yrs. Hot summer temps are hard on the lead -acid battery, and radiators. Most auto makers seem to have solved the radiator issues. Can't say the same for the battery. It is important not to have a dark color and not to park your car in the sun...

No one makes you read posts; just ignore the ones you do not like.

~3150 miles, in 4 mo., includes about 1000 hwy miles, getting ~45 MPG in my 24 Lariat hybrid. The only issue was a short caused by the installers of my ARE shell. Have not experienced a deep sleep; but the battery voltage is almost always very low.

Yep!!
