Need a powered sub. Best upgrade ever

VIN is 1FMDE5BH0MLA68737

Ill send it along tomorrow. No aftermarket tuning or related parts. Symptom started a few days ago.

Hey I am now getting a Park Aid Fault in the IP cluster. I connected Forscan and I am receiving 4 error messages, B1B44:31-2A, B1B46:31-2A, B1B48:31-2A, and B1B50:31-2A. I am also seeing a no signal message, which I am guessing that all 4 rear parking aid sensors are not communicating to the...

Great advice, thanks for sharing it. One clarification however, in regard to Integrated Subwoofers, such as the Kicker HS8 or HS10, the subwoofer amplifier is included in the box itself. And it is rated at 150W RMS. Standalone subwoofer speakers of course are only rated at how much power they...

Due to the size of the speakers and more importantly, the lack of baffle volume behind the 6 1/2 inch speakers, the modification will not help low end frequency response at all. I suggest considering a small powered sub that doesn't take up much room, such as a Kicker HS8 or HS10. Plus, by...

The Kicker sub is the small box on the right😎

I installed 600hz bass blockers on the dash 4" Infinity Reference speakers. No need to install them on the rear 4" speakers since the head unit already rolls off the bass to those. I also have a Kicker HS8 subwoofer in the rear cargo area that provides the low bass that the standard system...

that's great. I just got my set for the 4 door. How did the install go? I have the tube steps also FYI if that makes any difference to the installation.

I have 8000 miles on my Big Bend and agree with your assessment. Only niggle is the noisy hardtop for me.... I get the annoying popping noise when going over bumpy roads. Hope that will be resolved when I get the MIC 2.0 hardtop replacement. Enjoy!!

Yes I am very happy with the result. Also if I need to temporarily remove the subwoofer all I need to do is switch off AUX2 and unclip the power connection at the sub. It is held on with straps that came with the Kicker HS8.

Hmm. Might work! I don't know if it is rated for sufficient current. I used the aux switch wiring that is routed from the battery to the passenger side rear cargo area. I connected it to the AUX 2 circuit since it is rated for 15 amps. No need to connect a wire to the car battery!

Powered subwoofer

I used the closed cell foam fix on the front locating pins at the front latches and that did the trick! I just used door weatherstripping foam. Make sure it’s closed cell type. Makes the main latches harder to close but that is to be expected since it is now an interference fit.
