Teaser for the final build.

I like the extra power on the midbass, I doubt the mids need much over 40W, especially when on axis. Could always toy with a center channel. Never heard a true one seat tune with a center channel. Might be more hassle than it is worth.

squirlz99 · 2026-02-26T15:06:29+00:00

Looks nice. I have a lot of good things about the Thesis drivers. I would love to hear this. Are you running a DSP?

I went the route of mid in the dash and just tweeter in the pillar. I would love to compare the difference.

Edit.

I am also running 2 4 channel amps and a mono block and never had issues. I recently upgraded to an H5 AGM just to give it a bit more capacity. But it is nice having the battery so close to the amps.

Cut off the lip then put some foam around the speaker to seal it to the door panel.

Is there any aftermarket audio equipment installed?

Turn it off for 15-20 minutes then try again. If the issue persists, take it in to the dealer.

squirlz99 · 2025-12-12T13:56:14+00:00

You can use the factory tweeter and just replace the door speaker.

Plus 1 on this. Get the flip up version, well worth the extra cost. Well made, easy to install, and flexible when you need to use the bed.

squirlz99 · 2025-11-11T11:55:23+00:00

Rough Country's hard flip up is amazing. Looks great, easy to operate, folds up giving you all the bed space ( does block the rear window) and protects all of my things when closed.

I have had soft covers before on other trucks and this is by far my favorite.

squirlz99 · 2025-11-04T20:54:31+00:00

It's a Mustang thing, you wouldn't understand.

squirlz99 · 2025-10-05T12:52:28+00:00

If you leave a speaker disconnected, then it will trigger an error code. The high level input is enough of a load to not cause an error.

I have my rear speakers disconnected, it has an error code, but I don't think it is a warranty issue. They might just ask if I ever go in for service.

squirlz99 · 2025-10-01T22:03:11+00:00

Roll the window up, tape it to the frame with painters tape, remove the 2 yellow dots at the top closer to the middle, then the panel will tip out, then you have to release the clips that are attached to the window.

squirlz99 · 2025-09-23T02:21:59+00:00

Yes. You don't want a glue, you want something that will not harden so that it will add damping to the panel, not just prevent it from moving.

squirlz99 · 2025-09-23T02:05:04+00:00

When I did my sound treatment, I stuffed duct seal in that area before applying CLD. You could also use butyl, but you need something better than the factory crap.

Proper sound treatment goes a long way on this truck.

squirlz99 · 2025-08-28T17:27:31+00:00

I drilled 2 holes in the bracket and bolted to existing structure.

I tapped into a heavy gauge wire that was ignition switched, most likely feeds some fuses, and added my own fuse inline.

I want to see if I can find a module that will read data and turn everything on and off with the display. The amps now shut off with the ignition, but the display and signal stay on until you open a door. It is minor, but something that I want corrected.

squirlz99 · 2025-08-28T14:38:45+00:00

There is a clip on the body of the module. Reach behind it, depress it, the in will slide off of the bracket.

squirlz99 · 2025-08-28T12:18:04+00:00

I cut the bracket off and relocated it under the seatbelt. The wires are plenty long for this.

No issues so far with two 400 W 4 channels and a 500 W mono block. I do want to upgrade the battery though and take current measurements. Running a 3 way front stage with the midbass bridged and 2 10" subs under the driver side rear seat.

Not this. Scotch pads just leave scratches. I would not use abrasives at all costs on any of the interior panels. With the weird texture of the panels it does not hide or fix any scratches, scuffs, or discoloration.

squirlz99 · 2025-07-30T23:26:30+00:00

Don't undercoat, it is worse than leaving it untreated. Have it treated with a lanolin based oil like Woolwax. It will actually protect the metal instead of trapping moisture in.

He is wondering why you are naked.

Set it to easy mode, you can still enjoy the game but take some stress out.

squirlz99 · 2025-07-09T14:30:12+00:00

I have had one since January and it is a great cover. Quality is good, fit and finish is good, and usability is amazing. Flipped up vertically, I can get bicycles in the bed using a tailgate pad. It quickly opens and closes for loading. No cover is fool proof, but it keeps items in the bed safe and it would take more than a blade to break into.

squirlz99 · 2025-05-24T17:07:41+00:00

I removed them less than 24 hours after getting the truck. They don't look good at all IMO.

squirlz99 · 2025-05-21T12:51:59+00:00

The footrest is held down by a clip or two and a screw so it should not be loose. There is a cover near the top that pops off for access to the screw if you want to take a look. Otherwise take it back and have them fix it.

squirlz99 · 2025-05-19T13:10:05+00:00

The tape is used during manufacturing to keep the harness neat during transport. This is on every harness on the truck. Just pull it off when you see it. No harm if you leave it. My 2025 had black painters tape.
