I like to put a conclusion on my threads. For anyone else with the 7-speaker (non B&O) system who goes through a similar experience, here were my findings: 1. I believe (but haven't confirmed) that the Bass setting acts as a subwoofer level control. If the Bass is set to halfway or below, there...

For reference.

Your videos have been a great guide for most of this conversion. I opted for a replacement 6.5" vs the 8" thinking it would be a more straight-forward swap, and also because it falls into the recommended ported enclosure specs, but I ended up having to enlarge the opening anyways so I probably...

Update: I tuned everything as best I could and it's much improved. I'm still not anywhere near getting maximum power from this amp, which in some ways is good I guess (no worries about clipping). I'm still at max gain, but at least I can get that little 6.5 to move some air as much, if not more...

I've removed the factory subwoofer amplifier, so I'm going straight from the wires that would have fed it. So, that should be low-level.

That makes sense as to why it sounds much better when I switch the amp to low-level input. It's still way too low, but I feel better knowing it is in-fact a low-level input. I find it odd that Ford gave me a factory subwoofer, running a dedicated low-level input, but gave me zero subwoofer...

I went with a SKAR 6.5" 4 ohm DVC. I was going to go with the Kicker, but I too am running at 2 ohms, and I felt the 200 watt RMS handling of the SKAR was better paired than the 150 watt RMS of the Kicker. The 500.1 should be putting out 300 watts RMS for both of us. My speaker wiring is...

I just turned up the Bass to maximum in my tones setting and it's working a lot better now, but still weak. Right now I have amp gain MAX, remote knob MAX, bass boost MAX and it sounds about the same, or maybe slightly weaker than the factory subwoofer. I have the crossovers set correctly...

I reset all tones back to neutral (middle) as per the 500.1 instructions. I could crank the bass back up, but I'm not expecting it to compensate enough (I'm like 10X lower than I should be), but I will definitely try it. So far the factory amp remote turn-on wire seems to be working fine. The...

Replaced my factory non-B&O subwoofer and amp last night. I cut the factory amp high-level input wires and wired them to the Kicker 500.1 input as instructed, twisted the + wires together and the - wires together and attached to the single pair +/- output of the factory wires. I was in a rush...

I'll take them if they're still available?

Located in Claremont, CA (LA County). TPMS were removed and transferred to my new wheels.

Yes, my '23 has the same issue. Been following these threads to see when I should take mine in. It's only 3 weeks old, but I heard the noise since day one.
