Hey guys, I recently had a hertz aftermarket audio system installed in my 2018 Raptor. See the photo listed for the exact parts list. I’m having a really obnoxious hissing sound coming from the speakers, mainly the rear ones. It’s not as obvious when the music is turned up loud but I feel...

I agree, it should be this way from the factory for sure.

I recorded a short clip of the noise I’m hearing. It seems like it’s only coming from the rear door speakers. The video actually makes it seem Louder than it is. It’s like a hissing or air blowing noise. It’s really annoying. https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aso4mz7YpyaiihPdMf61HlBhSqe2

Thanks, it looks a lot better. I don’t under stand why painted fenders arnt a standard option to begin with, it’s such a drastic change to the look.

I’m not sure I’ll check when I get home. What’s the point of fake engine noise in the first place ?

Its with the engine running and I believe when it’s not running also but I gotta double check. Its when I’m Playing music through my phone via Bluetooth. It sounds like air blowing from the speakers. Its not noticeable with the normal radio or XM radio because your here the music over it...

So as if I didn’t spend enough money buying a new raptor I had a bunch of the trim painted black to match the truck. I had the fenders, front and rear bumper, tailgate, wheels, side vents, skid plate. I also had the calipers painted blue along with the drum inside the wheel. Check it out.

For you guys that upgraded your stock sound system with a new amplified speaker system. Do you hear a sound coming from the speakers when there’s no music playing that sounds kinda like air blowing. I had the system professionally installed and he told me that’s normal to hear on an amplified...

Yeah we are switching to the Nav Tv. Condoms, haven’t seen one of those since health class...

Thank you very much for the info, I’ll pass it along. At this point I’m gonna forgo the New touch screen head unit and just do the full speaker, amp sub upgrade. I can always add the new head unit later on when they iron out the bugs. The work will be getting done on the 24 and 25th of the...

Another question for you guys. My installer has the Pac-Audio AP4-FD21 picked out. I see a lot of you guys are all running the Nav a2b instead. Is there any reason for this ? The PAC audio seems to be a little cheaper. When I checked crutchfield it said my 2028 raptor with the B/O system is...

Thank you for all the input, I’ll let you know what I decide.

Yeah I’m definitely gonna save myself the headache and pay someone to do it, I read your posts lol. So overall what’s the biggest improvement you noticed after the upgrade ? A much more crisp clear sound ? It seems the biggest investment besides labor are all the components needed to tie into...

So I really took a liking to the 12.1” touch screen radio for the raptor which led me into upgrading the audio as well. I don’t really know much about car stereo equipment anymore. I was recommend someone to do the work on my truck. I’m gonna post what he suggested and you guys tell me what...

So I've had my stock tires And wheels sitting In the garage since December. I was Originally thinking I was going to keep a winter and summer set, however I'm not going to be swapping my tires with the weather lol. I drove on the tires for about a month after purchasing before I got my new...
