If you decide to install the amp first, take that opportunity to run all the wires that you'll need later.

It's not perfect, but it's definitely a noticeable improvement from the driver seat. It's in the sound settings menu at the bottom. The factory radio actually has simple time alignment built in, which you can change between 'Driver' and 'All seats'. Until you get your DSP, you can try changing the EQ setting in Forscan to see which you like best. It's the same thing and half the price, but delivery is 1-2 weeks.

If you don't mind waiting for the shipping, grab the ISO-SOT-984-w on eBay instead of the FOR-11CK.

Using a large piece to seal the access holes will make a significant improvement to your midbass, even with the stock speakers.Īlternatively, HushCarAudio on here makes ABS panels to cover those holes, which is the preferred material since it's much stiffer.

I just dont know if its worth the effort the install the mini-amp than later install a DSP? Will the DSP make that much of a difference if I just flatten the EQ using Forscan for only the miniamp? (I know a DSP has time alignment and etc, but Im not worried about that yet and just want better sound and loudness at the moment) I plan to upgrade the speakers after as I know the stock headunit is the limiting factor for output and a DSP & 4Ch should be first.Ĩ0 mil Noico, at least on the door panels, inner and outer. Upgrading the sub/amp will be a later thing as the one i have now works for what i need. I currently have a Scosche HDMA504 (4ch, 50Wx4 RMS, 400W Max, High-level input) sitting in my garage and was wondering if it worth buying the FOR11CK to install this now or should I wait to get a DSP also? So onto the upgrade process, I plan to keep the factory headunit but the game plan is to slowly upgrade the speakers and put a proper subwoofer/amp in the back.Īt the moment I'm debating on how I should go about this as I plan to do these upgrades slowly. The first thing I'm wanting to know is, when I changed to the external sub output on Forscan I noticed my speaker volume actually decreased and was wondering if anyone else noticed this? I cant seem to put it back to the same volume setting in Forscan. At the moment the only upgrade I have is a 10' slim sub with built in amp wired to the factory sub harness and enabled in Forscan. I plan to upgrade the stereo for better SQ and a bit louder. I kept the SYNC components so I can return it to stock if/when I trade/sell it.Hey everyone, I have a 2018 8' Sync 3 7Speaker without the B&O system. When driving at night, I press that and the screen shuts off and the only thing lit are the buttons along the bottom of the Kenwood faceplate which I was able to color match pretty well to the rest of the dash lighting. I also repurposed the eject button as the screen off button and I love it. I didn't bother programming the 6 preset buttons but the media button, forward/backward button function just as they did before as does the volume **** which was most important to me. I used the iMaestro datalink to keep steering wheel controls and the controls on the faceplate. I also like the Wireless screen mirroring. As far as battery life, I charge my phone nightly so not sure. I click the AA icon and it makes the connection. When I jump in the truck, as long as I have BT and WiFI enabled on my phone, it picks up my phone connection in about 7 seconds.

I think regular price on it is/was $599 when I purchased. I went with DMX9706s that I found on Best Buy for $399.
