You guys are the best. Back from the WOW Electronics in Clinton Township (MI). They have been so great to work with. The bass blockers and the sound deadening helped out a lot. But I still hear some cracking. The technician explained that the cheap Bronco factory radio puts some limits on the...

I asked the shop to tune it so everything sounds as it should, and they did. Is that the same thing as Forscan? Yes, non-B&O.

Update! Going back to stereo shop today to install bass blockers to the dash speakers and then re-tune. Sound from the Audison dash speakers are coming out so high-pitched that they sound distorted. Did not expect that. The shop recommended bass blockers for those dash speakers. I'm also...

Good deal, thanks man!

Thank you. Looking for a local shop to compare sounds of Audison vs Hertz. Leaning towards Audison. I like the idea of all 6 by the same brand. Then a Kicker Key amp. Seems like it’ll meet my needs and it keeps costs down—amd is straightforward. My installer (amazing rate) is super detailed and...

Brian, all of your posts have confirmed my hopes re the Kicker Key amp. And this last post explained the why really well. Eternally grateful. Thank you!

Alright I’m pricing these Audison 4”. Looking for a local shop to hear them before o decide on these vs the Hertz. Same producer—assuming Audison is a little better but it’d be nice to hear them. Curious: Why Hertz for the kickers instead of Audison? Thanks for taking the time. Huge help.

Sorry, what’s the Bi-amp approach? Thank you! I’ll check out Car Tunes and the place in Northville if I can get there.

Thanks Brian. Great points. Yep, I think my budget and needs translates to the Kicker plug and play amp. Your post confirms that for me Regarding speakers: a couple of posters thought Focal was TOO bright. I’ve since listened to some Hertz through that cool Crutchfield feature and that matches...

Great post. Thanks for taking the time and offering your expert insight. I’m aiming for a noticeable upgrade but a simple plan to keep the costs down. Not sure I can do all the sound seasoning, etc. But your point about getting out there to test the sounds really resonated. That’s now part of my...

Hi, thank you. I know nothing about audio tech. Can you explain what I have to contend with? This is helpful, thanks. I’m comparing my choices to JL and Hertz. And re install: a handyman I’ve hired a few times also runs a car restoration business. I described the job and he said he can do it so...

Wow! Thanks so much. Looking now.

First off, I don't know anything about the technicals of stereos but I'm learning a little. Love music and love a nice clear sound. This factory system is just not doin it. --Looking to upgrade the factory system but not go overboard. --I want a clean bright sound in the front with some...

OK, I think I figured out a solution. I'll post pics the next time I take off this roof (hopefully today!)

Question for the thread….How do you guys take off the top and store it? I didn’t want to bother my wife with lifting and carrying the back piece so I got a Liftngo. The Liftngo is made for the OEM top so I hung 2 heavy-duty straps and rolled the top in the garage. But….I’m a little nervous...
