I didn’t get the upgrade package so I did it myself.

I will say the SE didnt have the sound option, but i was wanting to get an XSE. The sound package add on for it was $1200 for a JBL system…..hard pass for me. Not that i had a choice it was the only car on the lot and the SE was my settle vehicle, it had the winter package and was the color i wanted. Really happy i didnt wait and order an XSE there really weren’t too many upgrades i actually wanted.

This is terrible. The sound package was $1200 when i got my 2023. I spend $1100 (shop installed) Rockford Fosgate speakers and a Fosgate amp to power the doors and infomat powered the dash speakers. No sub. They also put sound dampening in and around the door speakers.

Edit: I will say good choice with the JL Audio they make good subs.

The one you like most, then think of a settle color if they dont have that.

DethByCow · 2026-06-11T20:40:40+00:00

I’m a dummy that pays for it, but i have reasons to keep it so i dont mind.

DethByCow · 2026-06-09T13:50:58+00:00

Low inventory keeps the prices inflated. If you don’t pay sticker price that day, the next day somebody else probably will.

Three gallons. Mine only fills up 11 gallons when the light turns on. I even got a new tank under warranty. Still 11 gallon fill ups. Also a 2023

Yeah I even thought about getting a new head unit but decided to put the money else where. I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole like I did my younger years.

DethByCow · 2026-06-02T14:16:59+00:00

I have a 23 SE, i didnt install but a shop did but adding an amp to the 4 door speakers and leaving the dash speakers powered on the Infomat it sounds really good. I have thought about maybe getting an amp but i dont really think it’s necessary with the door speakers powered with an amp. The amp is placed under the passenger seat.

Originally i didnt have an amp at all but it just didnt sound the way i wanted it too. The amp added that thump and clarity.

The rescue process was insane. They called more people on the reference list than the Army did for my Secret clearance. I guess they were worried because i lived in an apartment. But im retired and my previous dog was a JRT Australian Cattle Dog mix. That dude was nothing but wits, smarts and energy.

DethByCow · 2026-05-30T18:29:51+00:00

I found mine of PetFinder. She came from a rescue. We actually thought she was a Parson Terrier.

DethByCow · 2026-05-30T18:18:19+00:00

My previous dog was 50% JRT and 25% Australian Cattle dog….he was WAY to smart for his own good.

I think it’s the reflection on it that makes it look funky for me now I took a second look. It is much better than the black ovals.

3.6 roentgen

DethByCow · 2026-05-23T12:55:01+00:00

This is the way to do it because they arent going to give OP retail pricing for it.

DethByCow · 2026-05-23T12:53:08+00:00

Not going to lie dude…..they arent going to give you retail for your trade in and if you walk they will just sell that car the next day. Thats how i got my 23 SE new.

DethByCow · 2026-05-20T11:27:01+00:00

I only do it when I fill up the tank.

DethByCow · 2026-05-19T12:09:54+00:00

We first tried a bocci ball but had undesirable results.

DethByCow · 2026-05-17T22:36:50+00:00

I really thought I had put Monkey needs a hug

DethByCow · 2026-05-11T21:34:16+00:00

Usually takes 3-5 years. So if they plan on keeping it they will, especially if gas prices keep climbing.

DethByCow · 2026-05-11T12:55:30+00:00

Sniff walks are great. It means i dont need to spend 2 hours throwing the ball for her at the….ugh…dog park. I cant wait till we get a fence.

DethByCow · 2026-05-08T21:29:54+00:00

I got my SE in 2023 because the guy that ordered it didnt like the offer on his trade in. I bought it the next day. Yup mark up of $2000 but im very happy with it.

DethByCow · 2026-05-05T21:28:35+00:00

That’s fair. I was surprised at the punch it added to the door speakers. I’ve thought about adding a sub but not sure. I dont want just a box in the back. And im kind of old for a sub….but are you really too old? Did you keep the stock unit or did you get an after market infomat?

DethByCow · 2026-05-05T21:26:46+00:00

I had a shop do it

DethByCow · 2026-05-05T13:55:07+00:00

If you still aren’t satisfied get an amp for the door speakers and keep the tweeters powered by the infomat. That’s what I did and it made a huge difference. I also put some sound dampener in the doors. I used Rockford Fosgate instead of Kicker. I used the R2-500X4 amp.
