This is relevant and deserves consideration. .https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T9mlvbF0flM Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Sound cancellation by roadnoise or the exhaust tone. At certain cruising rpms the tone coming from the exhaust could match the frequencies of the bass line but be 180 degrees out of phase causing a partial muting effect. Just a guess but a possibility, try switching sub phase or adding sound...

Yeah that's what I have observed so far as well. This obsession with high power high volume has really put a damper on things. I had an sq system in '98 that would top out at a little over 120db's but had a sound that was like busty Angel's whispering in your ears, it had a sound that was so...

I'm getting back into car audio after a long hiatus raising my kids. I have currently built an Ok system with a couple amps, some after market 6.5's and a single 12. This system will evolve in the future. So, anyway.. the old system I ran had 2 sealed enclosure Eclipse 8712.8 and a 700 watt...

This is from the guys over at the fusion forum but it may work on your Taurus Battery Monitoring System: 726-04-01 (2014+ MY) xxxX xxxx xxxx Note: I recommend disabling BMS if you have an aftermarket stereo system. Especially if your battery charge is consistently low. Alternator always on...

Here is a guide to FORScan for those interested in modifying their Ford stereo's https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-8dKaS_Spu4Zw4hV_CrKC4tLoP9G8yejqegF1wxIqxY/edit ODB connector- Cheap wired ODB connector https://www.amazon.com/bbfly-BF32302-modified-Windows-ELMconfig-Forscan/dp/B01N9R9QS2...

Another update. I could only put the volume up to 15 before the factory headunit started to clip and the major eq corrections to make up for the factory processing had me annoyed so I got out the laptop, flashed the car back to stock then grabbed my other odb dongle and fired up Forscan and...

I had a chance to install the Metra ax-dsp over the weekend along with a 4 channel amp and new pioneer A-series 6.5's all around. The unit works as advertised, I can make adjustments using the dsp app on my old samsung s7 over bluetooth. Here is what I have noted so far. -I was able to mount...

Here is the guys at Five Star Car Stereo installing a similar LCQ1 in a 2016 F150 non amplified system. (Fast forward to 9:20) It is a nice unit but you cannot adjust the EQ from the driver seat, no chime attenuation and you need to modify a 50 dollar custom order CarAV 12-240 harness to...

My complaints are specific to late model fords without factory amplifiers, all the amplification is done inside the head unit in a 4 channel config, 2 front speakers with tweeters spliced in and two rear speakers. Power output for the Fords without amplifiers is in the 7 watts per channel...

An interesting thing I found about the HDMA504i is that it is only sold in select markets and is not listed on Scosche's website, this strongly suggests that the amplifier is manufactured by another company under contract with Scosche (a slightly custom rebadged board design). With some...

This one works with Forscan, can access all the modules and will write. bbfly-BF32302 ELM327 USB modified FTDI Chip Forscan HS-CAN / MS-CAN Ford Mazda OBD2 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0744K8KBQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here is the guts for the Scosche HDMA504i It has a 30amp inline fuse and the power supply uses 2 35v 2200uf 105c capacitors from Micon's KM series. So far I have tested mine on the work bench with an old 12v battery and a set of Samsung home theater 4ohm speakers, it was able to drive the...

Amps guts of Scosche 4 channel mini amp. Rated 50wx4 at 4 ohms, 75x4 at 2ohms. Class D full range, 30 amp inline fuse.

If cost and install space are a serious concern and you are in Canada, these little guys can do a pretty good job of powering your coaxials. Full range class-D, 45x4 rms and warranty at your local Walmart...
