    GEN 2 COBB Accessport - Tuned by GooseTuned

    So I live in the high desert, and last year traded my 16' Z06 for a 20' Raptor. I loved the Z06 it was fun and fast but because of where I live you can only dive it about 6 months a year. I work in the gold mining industry and that takes me down a lot of dirt roads so I thought I would get...

    Naviks AUX Audio Input Interface (NAXK-SYNC3)

    Since I upgraded my stereo, I wanted to try lossless audio from my phone to the Sync3. With our new trucks lacking aux input I installed the Naviks AUX Audio Input Interface (NAXK-SYNC3) along with an RCA to 3.5mm panel mount adapter. I used a USB-C hifi to 3.5mm cord to connect it. So here...

    Starting my stereo upgrade

    Done! Got the new A-pillars back from MTI and put the speakers in, also hooked up an amazing Sub box Noah built. It is curved fits under the rear seat perfectly. Spent a couple of days tuning it and am really impressed. If I had it all to do over again I would have reached out to Noah or...

    Torchys sound system build, Morel and JL

    Glad to hear someone else fell down that rabbit hole. Great build and write up, I second the shout out to Bruce and Noah those guys are great! I started with the same "lets put a sub in for some better sound" ended up with Focals and 3 way active.

    I installed Focal 165W-XP’s in the rear door, I am still waiting for the utopia’s to put in the front. I currently have Infintiy Kappas in a 3 way active up front and thought it sounded really good. Then I started tuning it. Wow what a difference that is making. I had no idea how much just...

    Starting my stereo upgrade

    Ended up with different amps, changed the amp board, and ran some zero 1/0 wire through the truck, punched it through the firewall with a few grommets. The tweeter and mid wires laying on the floor in the pic will be replaced when my new speakers come in in a few weeks then routed behind the...

    Starting my stereo upgrade

    Thanks for the input. It's not bad news, just the facts. I built it conservative because I do not have the straight-ahead kit installed yet, that will allow me to take some accurate measurements and redo it. I can also gain a little if I go to 5/8 instead of 3/4. It's packed with polyfill...

    Starting my stereo upgrade

    Got the sub box built, amp board cut out, and started. Picked up an extra wiring harness for the NavTV A/B replaced the female RCA ends with some males. Sacrificed a set Stinger 4000 but it was worth it. My OCD kicked in when I was that harness. The sub box came out .62 cubic feet. The...

    Yep had to pull it on the driver's side would stick the handle but on the passenger side no interference at all. Good note though for those reading through making the plan.

    It is black ABS and nut rivets put in the door so you can use 1/4-20 bolts. I got them from Hush Audio, they came with the rivnuts, and bolts. You will need a tool to install them. Look at rivnut tools on Amazon. You can PM Hush Audio, Bruce will get back to you. Saved me a lot of time not...

    Thank looks really nice, I did not think of that. I might put the Luxury liner in there. Especially the rear, where there is less space between the door panel and the door.

    I'm going with the kicker for now. Space saving over bass. It's a work truck I need the room. Easy upgrade later just have to see how big a box I can fit behind the seat over the little cubbys on the floor. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Thanks for all the great information. I have a plan, and to quote smurfslayer “I may fix it later.” For me this is fun. I know a lot of people drop the center I want to try it both ways. I am in sales drive 50K miles a year and spend a lot of time on the phone, how calls sound will really...

    Starting my stereo upgrade

    Smurfslayer thanks for the input! I figured if I did not get enough bass I would get another kicker and amp then build a enclosure a lot like the MTI's you mentioned. Can you suggest an amp or two to look at for the main amp? I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous at this point. I was...

    GEN 2 How do I lock doors without setting off alarm?

    When you shut off the truck there should be a popup on your instrument cluster. Change to perimeter sensor and hit ok. Then the dog won't set off the internal sensors, they are in the overhead console. All sensors include the interior sensors.

    Works OK for Amazon prime, Costco memberships, American Express, the local golf course (i buy buckets of balls in bulk need the practice) or any other of 1000 organizations offering discounts for membership just so we can have the opportunity to purchase their products (YEAH)?
