    Alpine says cant access menu while driving?

    Your goal here is to trick the unit into thinking you're stopped. You will have to figure out the logic behind it. Under what circumstances does it actually work?

    Where to buy small interior trim parts?

    Check out the local junkyard/pick-and-pulls. You can usually find something of use so long as the car isn't too new. Other than that you might have to buy from the local official Ford dealership. And overpay out the ***. Might be wrong though!

    Ported box for 15" Ascendant Avalanche

    The only displacement that isn't accounted for is the sub. Mostly because I'm thinking about inverting the sub anyway. I *did* account for the port volume. The box's internal volume is 5.292 cuft before any displacement. How much net volume are you thinking is needed/best?
