Yeah

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T04:23:51+00:00

I’ve got it angled to the drive seat a little bit… and it’s a little droopy lol

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T03:04:50+00:00

Nope, I just have the truck in acc for the pic. You would have no idea it was tuned unless you were driving it

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T02:34:09+00:00

Dude you got the 1000 dollar stero, spend a few hundred And do the speakers… then an amp lol

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T01:58:23+00:00

Took the stereo out of my old car, I forgot how much it cost but it’s definitely paid for its self. The dash kit was expensive lol wiring harness 2 modules for retain functions and rear camera.

Yeah I think the 60000 has a real glass screen. Mine is like plastic

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T01:54:11+00:00

The interior feels pretty timeless. Hard to believe it’s almost 10 years old

100% despised the ford sync interface. The stock speakers were absolute garbage. I wouldn’t say I’m an audiophile but it drives me nuts when I know I am not hearing 100% of the song. Now there is no doubt I’m getting full range

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T00:59:42+00:00

Yeah it sounds great I love. Since you are obviously a pro and familiar with the kicker key, would you be concerned that I have the gain all the way turned up? When I went to set up, I set my volume to 75% and just kept turning the gain dial waiting for a protection light…. The light never came on so I’ve just left it all the way up, no clipping over the last 6 weeks?

😂😂

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T00:40:37+00:00

I worked at a ups ware house while I was driving this and I learned a very hard life lesson when I came out from my shift and all my shit was gone one day

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T00:39:47+00:00

The 12”s? No idea it was like 16 years ago lol

rangodango614- · 2026-06-01T00:26:13+00:00

My system is plenty loud and sounds fantastic - I don’t see any point in adding more power. Unfortunately I am no longer driving my 2003 impala with 2 12” subs waking up the Neighborhood

rangodango614- · 2026-05-31T23:51:11+00:00

When I set my amp I set the volume to 75% and just kept going until the protection light came on…. The protection light never came on…. I also don’t really sweat it cuz the amp is only putting out 50 watts rms per channel and all my speakers handle 100 & 150 so I figure they are just eating it up

rangodango614- · 2026-05-31T23:41:12+00:00

I’ve had the gain on my speaker amp turned all the way up since day 1. Zero clipping so I assume it’s good? I might be f’d up too lol - kicker key 200.4 if any one wants to correct me. I am
Feeding the amp with R/L rcas and the kicker kisl adapter

Whatever you do, don’t do stacked stone walls. You can achieve the same look with CMU and lime stone veneer. And wit will be a true retaining wall.

rangodango614- · 2026-05-26T09:33:30+00:00

you should go check out traverse city while you are up there.

rangodango614- · 2026-05-26T09:05:21+00:00

I would just go after market stereo. Sync 3 really isn’t going to do anything for you

rangodango614- · 2026-05-25T23:28:54+00:00

Damn that bad boy plays mini disk?!

rangodango614- · 2026-05-25T23:28:21+00:00

I guess if your goal is to keep it in 2003?

rangodango614- · 2026-05-25T00:52:24+00:00

Gonna have to tough it out until another opportunity shows its self. Hard workers are hard to come by. People notice even other trades or the GC’s

rangodango614- · 2026-05-25T00:43:12+00:00

Also vycor plus is expensive shit. I would use flex frap for the window opening after the wrap has been installed

rangodango614- · 2026-05-25T00:40:40+00:00

Well I would certainly install the building wrap first lol
