    Quick question about phase on my powered sub...

    I've added a Rockford Fosgate 12" powered sub to my system. It sounds good... The question is about the phase switch 0/180. How would I know if I need to swap it? What scenarios require changing the phase on a sub?

    Amp purchase deadline approaching - am I making the right choice?

    Sorry to ask again but I just want to have as much info as possible before I give up my sheckles. I want an amp that will milk every bit of sound quality and punch out of my speakers. I don’t have a sub but may later add one w/its own amp. I’ve been studying amp options and asking...

    Powered sub that fits a late model Ford Crew cab truck

    I'd like to get a 12" sub somewhere if possible but it could be smaller if that is what it takes to fit under or behind the seat w/o being obvious. Can someone point me in the right direction? This is actually a 2017 Super Duty Pickup(crew cab).

    Ideal 4 channel amp for my upgraded OEM system

    I get the whole deal w/the OEM stuff being EQed specific to the OEM speakers. Having said that - just replacing the OEM speakers with these Kickers made a big improvement in the sound quality. I can't imagine adding some punch to the sound would make it bad.

    Ideal 4 channel amp for my upgraded OEM system

    I've replaced the factory door speakers in my 2017 Ford Crew cab pickup with decent aftermarket ones. The sound is improved but I'd like to get the most possible out of these new speakers. I've found a wiring harness that lets me splice a four-channel amp in to power them using high-level...

    Please enlighten me on Ford Pickup OEM Audio upgrade options.

    I didn't find the JBL system till this weekend. I might have considered it considering the really good price - but I'm at this point committed to building a better system in pieces. I got all of the new Kicker speakers installed over the weekend. The sound is a definite improvement over the...

    Please enlighten me on Ford Pickup OEM Audio upgrade options.

    Bummer...I had read that having the Premium Audio actually makes it more complicated to upgrade the system. That is one reason I wasn't too concerned about that option when I bought this truck. I had originally planned to get the super-low end OEM system in it and having a complete new system...

    Did you do an install w/the non-Sony system? If so - how did you go about getting the DSR1 installed?

    Please enlighten me on Ford Pickup OEM Audio upgrade options.

    I just watched some media about the Rockford Fosgate DSR1. It sound great but I'm not sure I have an external amp? Does your Taurus have a seperate amp somewhere - under the front seat maybe - that this would replace?

    Please enlighten me on Ford Pickup OEM Audio upgrade options.

    Thanks for the input fellas. I was banking on the fact that Ford uses the same infotainment systems across all of their vehicles. For example, I can enable the Sync 3 screen colors and logos from the Mustangs and even lincoln SUVs on my Sync 3 system by changing the firmware settings w/ForScan...

    Please enlighten me on Ford Pickup OEM Audio upgrade options.

    I've got a 2017 Ford F350 Super Duty Crew Cab w/the Factory Sync 3 system. I think the interiors are the same now between the F150 and Super Duty trucks(till 2017 they were totally different). I don't have the Sony Premium sound system but it is the 8" screen version that has 4 door speakers...

    Ford OEM Audio upgrade help for a noob.

    I've got a 2017 Ford F350 Super Duty Crew Cab w/the Factory Sync 3 system. I don't have the Sony Premium sound system but it is the 8" screen version that has 4 door speakers, 2-tweeters in the A-pillars along with a Center Dash speaker. I'm not sure if the center speaker plays anything beyond...
