Yea I have the adapter cables for the Pioneer. I'm thinking of sacrificing one of the low impedance Infinity tweeters I have and cutting off the mounting tabs and affixing them to the Dayton unit. I dunno, I have some 3M tape around so that sounds easier. I'm glad it all worked out for you...

I'm on my 2nd OC and both times PUP with a Motorcraft FL-500S filter. In my 2003 GT I ran Mobil 1 full synthetic and a Mobil 1 filter and the car is at about 240,000 miles with no issues. My son has it. One thing to be aware of is that filter manufacturers change as companies combine and even...

Sadly I've been one of those unfortunate folks who are blessed with either strange tire wear or vibrations with various cars over the years, both new and used so I know the drill and it's not pleasant at all. You can try another dealer or pay for an independent shop to look at it. Not a chain...

Thank you for the write up and excellent pics.. My Dayton arrived today and the Pioneer sub has been sitting in the box for a couple of months now so it's time to get this done. First thing I noticed with the Dayton was the weight of it. Very heavy considering the size.. Gonna tackle both later...

I would request the dealer swap all 4 tires and rims from a car that does not vibrate, maybe one that's a used car and see what happens. Do you feel the vibration in your butt or steering wheel? What happens if you are in park and rev the motor, do you feel it then? Also if you touch the...

Same.. My Dayton 8 ohm center speaker arrives today. Let us know how the install and most importantly the sound difference, if any, turns out.

Just did my 2nd OC and I'm once again using PUP 5w-30 and a Motorcraft FL-500S filter P/N AA5Z-6714-A. This is the 14 fluted variety. One thing I did discover is that MotivX Tools sells a very high quality tool which fits this filter perfectly. It's not cheap, but it's a nice tool...

Great explanation. To my ears, the stock sub is all upper mid bass "thump" with little to no actual, typical, subwoofer frequencies. It's kind of like the smiley curve people use on their EQ, low end only of course. Example, i was listening to a 320k Mp3 of "A Taste Of Honey" Boogie, Oogie...

Isn't that the felt that gets cut back when installing jacking rails?

As a longtime closet audiophile, B&O was never know for accurate sounding high end systems for home audio but more for their innovative designs. I do believe there used to be a B&O display at MOMA in NYC at one time. B&O had really crazy looking designs and that is what sold the brand. Either...

When I used to travel extensively for business I was always getting upgrades at Hertz and other rental agencies. A couple of years ago they gave me a Gen 6 Camaro with the base LT v8 motor. I drove it almost 2000 miles from NY to GA and back. It was a nice car, lot's of bells and whistles and it...

Had a vibration like this on my ancient Chrysler 1979 LeBaron coup, RWD. No Corinthian Leather but nice red suede lol ! Anyway, intermittent high speed vibration, never felt it in the steering wheel or seat bottom. Long story short, turned out to be a slightly sticking front caliper. Only way I...

I like it. Wifey's 2024 VW Atlas doesn't have one and we both miss it.

I'm totally stock but at home I have a small project studio which I have done sweeps on so I'm kinda familiar with the various frequency ranges and what good sound should sound like. You are correct that the x-over is too high and allowing too much mid-bass. I think manufacturers do this to...

To my ears, the stock sub has an awful upper mid bass bump that is extremely irritating. I'm installing the Pioneer this week. I might also install the dash speaker as well as I have that one sitting on the shelf..
