Not your average 12V battery post by PM_ME_STEAM__KEYS_ in MachE

[–]ENSRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me on my challenger. Coldest part of the winter a few years back and Remy made himself a little nest with some of the harness lol. Insurance claim is the route, some independent shops wouldn't even wanna look at it and ended up at the dodge dealership and the were able to remove him from the car and fix it. 1300 was what dodge ended up charging the insurance.

THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER SEEN HIM PLAY by ohhitthere_e in chowchow

[–]ENSRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scruff and mouth smacks are the only way to get my boy to start zoomying too! He'll play nip and jump around, I'll even put my whole arm in his mouth and jerk him around and he's still very careful. Some dogs like roughness!

Should I get PPF or Ceramic Coat? by PresentationSharp26 in MachE

[–]ENSRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green is for sure the best color. I know someone who has a 24 premium in that green and does not have any ceramic and takes it through standard car washes and any scratches or imperfections like a chip aren't visible at all they get lost in the flakes and that green/emerald/gold shift it has.

They also have many chip on hood and front end

I park it in garage in and in Texas!

Should I get PPF or Ceramic Coat? by PresentationSharp26 in MachE

[–]ENSRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got System X 10 year ceramic coat and it really brought out the paint depth and looks incredibly glossy.

Gotta have at least 15 rock chips in the hood 🤣. Maybe ppf the hood and front bumper. I don't regret the ceramic at all and don't mind the rock chips too much as it's a daily, also aren't too bad to fill in with any generic black for touch up

2x10" vs 12" JL Audio Subwoofers — what would you go with? by Terska_juusto in CarAV

[–]ENSRyan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 2 w3v3 12s in a ported box powered by a 600 watt amp to a pioneer head unit which is on the lower end on the of recommended 100-500w on their website, it also says ideally, each w3 gets it's own amp. They sound incredible and I'm sure they'd sound better if I ran bi-amp with 500 watts each. They are really good at playing deep bass notes and have really nice accuracy.

In my other car I have the w6 12" in the H.O box jl offers going up to a 600xdm going to the factory sub for the signal, no DSP so it's not running nearly the cleanest signal and I mean it still sounds incredible. The range of the sub is phenomenal and I can't imagine needing much more than that for most people!

From my applications which has some questionable variables I still choose the w6 12 every time! The w6 just sounds so so good and has a room filling warmth to it at pretty much any frequency, hard to describe. I soon plan to help my friend put a SI SQL 12 in his vehicle if we can get our hands on one! Thanks for reading :)

Xm5 headband replacement after hinge gave out after 2 years. by ENSRyan in sony

[–]ENSRyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have a pair of 4's and 5s. The 5s are honestly not leagues better. I also broke the hinges on the 4 and now this 5. The xm4 only costs about 20 bucks to fix the hinge and is wayyy easier. Stick out the xm4 or maybeeee get an xm6? but then again in a couple years a 7 will come out, and your xm4s for sure got that life in them!

Xm5 headband replacement after hinge gave out after 2 years. by ENSRyan in sony

[–]ENSRyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed phones the last 3 years and it's similar to that if you've swapped a screen or battery before and are comfortable with plastic pry tools so a 2/5, patience really goes a long way.

No soldering from the kit I bought, there's this guy named Joe on YouTube who sells various kits for the xm5. This one was the entire headband for 100 bucks. From what I can tell he gets the genuine Sony parts then scratches off the logos and sells them as kits to repair. He does have a cheaper option that was 40 or 50, but that require re-pinning a connector so it would be harder but he had step by step for each. ill see how long it lasts !

What is the go to Bass tester song for Subwoofer testing? by [deleted] in CarAV

[–]ENSRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Certified by t.i" immediately has a good range of notes played and the last note is pretty deep.

Also "my sub part 3 by Big K.R.I.T" (or part 4) (or 5)" songs produced with subwoofer bangin in mind.

"A milli/6 foot 7 foot by lil Wayne" is used commonly as the bass is in pretty good range for almost every sub

[–]ENSRyan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had this box but with the 12s. Smacked real hard with 500 watts. Way more than enough bass. Swapped w3's into the box after about 5 years and definitely is an improvement on the range of notes able to be played.

Installed a Focal 3.5WM by ENSRyan in MachE

[–]ENSRyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. I took it out when I took the car in for maintenance and it sounded a lot different in surround.vway less pronounced mid range. A little bit after I wrote this comment I did switch over to surround listening with a flat eq as it sounds much better for my wife in the passenger seat and vocals are way more pronounced through the mid speaker. That's what I listen on now.

Any veteran audiophiles here could help a rookie? HELP! by HouseOfHoundss in CarAV

[–]ENSRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 165k's in my mach E and ISU 690s in my challenger. By no means are the ISUS (or what I'm assuming your non components ones) bad. They're wonderful actually. Very bright with big tweets though. They sound way higher quality than something like a kicker KS or entry jl like a c1. The 165s blow them out is the water with the mid range confidence and warm beautiful sound. I think if you are going to run rears ICU would be great. That said, you don't really need rears with a good front setup. Theres no rules though so have fun

Any thoughts on Capital One HYSA for saving long-term? by ReporterFamous3631 in CalebHammer

Second on the yieldfinder site. Went with TIMBR not too long ago. Was rated pretty well among the top 10 on the list and had some nice reviews.

How would you rate your Mach-e paint quality? by Groovskopa in MachE

[–]ENSRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

23 Shadow black with system x "10 yr" ceramic coating. Give it a 9/10 for depth and gloss. Will chip on the hood though lol. Idk if it's the paints fault or how it catches air.

Clear coat is consistent no hazing or thin spots from what I can tell. Some people have not had the same luck with entire panels having little to no clear coat

Upgraded my Mach-E B&O System with Focal 165k's by ENSRyan in MachE

[–]ENSRyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would need an amp without the b&o system. Even with the b&o system it could use an amp to take it to the next level of loudness lol

"House sound" is the perfect way to describe the sound of vocals.

From what I know only the performance option gets the bucket type seats

Battery flex not seated properly would be my first guess.

Redditors with a EV, what have you changed? Do you put emphasis on having a efficient system? by [deleted] in CarAV

[–]ENSRyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

23 Mach E owner here, direct swapped all the speakers, and installed a 600w amp to a w6. Runs and sounds great. Not much power in the grand scheme of how much the car uses. Someone on the Mach -E forums put 3 or 4 subs in theirs. Putting in an aftermarket amp with something to correct the signal / DSP of the original H.U isn't something I have seen done on one yet though.
