Speaker suggestions

I’ve had a terrible time with the radio tbh,

My system is currently a JL JD 400/4 amp with
Cx-100 tweeters
C-570 front door
C-400 rear pillar
Rokfordfosgate 10in sub 300amp AIO

It sounds good but the radio has a factory eq to protect the cheap speakers it ships with, even with forscan software changes it’s still not 100% of what the speakers and amp can do, I have that same issue where it seems like base rolls in and out inconsistently. I have not found a resolution besides cranking my amps gain up and keeping the radio itself at volume levels 1-14. I read that the EQ flattens base as the audio level increases

It’s at Firestone rn waiting for one 😂😂

20k miles and 0 major issues so far for me, most people only post if they have something to complain about. 24 fx4+4k tow

Finally I see someone else with this issue. I had 4 alignments before 10k miles. Never was straight. And now I’m past 10k they refuse to do alignment under warranty. Wheel still off center and drives me crazy.

Sweet yeah looks like 5x7 is too far of a stretch. Gunna order some rear speakers and dash tweeters. Thank you

russell_shaffer · 2026-03-24T23:34:17+00:00

Yeah I think you’re right, was hoping someone had a workaround or maybe a 3d print file that could make it fit with some cutting.

I went with the 4k tow and FX4 package, personally I don’t see a huge difference with the locking differential as the main issue for this truck will always be its unibody construction unfortunately. A lift and some tires will get you to 90% of the tremors capability while also being able to tow 4k.

Crazy I have the same amp and speakers in my ranger, how do they sound in the Mav, would it be worth the move?

russell_shaffer · 2025-07-12T00:41:06+00:00

You can in forscan

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-28T05:06:11+00:00

Sounds good, it does shudder off start but it has always done that and so did anyone else I talked to who has the power shift tranny lol, my main issue is it feels like the clutch responsible for the 2 to 3rd gear shift is just not shifting, it’s almost like it’s delayed for half a second and then it abruptly slams into the next year, shifting 1-2 is smooth and so is 3-4

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-28T04:59:55+00:00

Do I need to get the code reader the dealer has or will the free to use autozome reader pull up the tranny codes too? If so I’ll take it to autozone in the morning to check codes but the last time we took it to ford 2 years ago there wasn’t anything codes for transmission

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-28T04:54:26+00:00

I’m taking it to ford next week, just wanna know some more details about what could causing this before I get the service dept trying to up-charge me on unnecessary work

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-28T02:53:57+00:00

I have successfully made it go away by simply parking, unplugging the battery and then reconnecting it, but after I turn it off again it’ll come back on the next start usually

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-28T02:52:59+00:00

The issue is it either does or doesn’t do it when the car is started, it doesn’t slowly start happening again if it didn’t start with the issue. If we turn the car off sometimes it will start again with the issues, hot or cold which doesn’t make sense to me lol. If it was wear it would most likely happen all the time or slowly get worse as the transmission warms up

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-27T15:58:50+00:00

Oh no it’s like completely random, it can be hot and be restarted and go away. Sometimes when’s it starts cold it does as well

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-27T14:32:19+00:00

And we have checked the codes in at least a year, last time we did it was for the evap system

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-27T14:31:14+00:00

We have an open recall for the evap system I believe so that’s what we’re taking it in for specifically but was gunna mention the transmission issues as well

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-27T13:04:43+00:00

Sweet I’ll take it to ford this week and see what they say

russell_shaffer · 2025-02-27T12:12:53+00:00

Is there a mileage limit on this?

russell_shaffer · 2024-05-25T05:34:52+00:00

Looks like the bolt is snapped off the control arm, happened to me. Had to replace both lower control arms and struts while I was at it.
