    2013 Explorer Noises

    Funny Peterk9, little snotty are we. First thing I did was do a search followed by creating this post since I didn't find my answer. I read that post and "heard a "pop" or "click" type noise when I released the wheel to return to center:" is not what I'm experiencing. Had you read my post you...

    2013 Explorer Noises

    Maybe normal for how the explorer is made but not normal in any car I've ever owned. The gurgling is without AC and the whining with AC is like a compressor motor is going bad or something. It's not normal vehicle sounds. I only have 8900 highway miles on my X so the clicking I don't think it's...

    Amp and subwoofer install

    Installing fuse at battery for sure (left out some details as I wanted to brain dump before the wife and kids came home) I did my fair share of audio installs back in the day (90's) so I know a lil. Where might one find a wiring diagram for the rear sub? Assuming 2 pair means dual voice coil...

    Explorer Audio upgrade(s)

    Car audio shop told me the sony must stay as there is "communication from HU to sony" hopefully not but hooefully not. Still researching as I would like to get rid of that crappy sony as well. Maybe that pos has gain controls on it?

    Explorer Audio upgrade(s)

    Yes. I was told the Sony amp is custom and speaks MFT. The signal processor must come after the sony amp and pull together a full range signal. I will be installing an amp off the factory sub line in the rear in a few weeks.

    Explorer Audio upgrade(s)

    As I understand it, the Sony amp under the center console does not distribute full range to any of the 12 speakers so I think you would need a signal processor (I think thats the term) to pull it all together after the amp then on to the speakers which at that point you would probably replace...

    Sony Sound

    Agree. It will cost 1500 + to improve it. :( and Ford probably put $5000 into making it lol

    Sony Sound

    All, Over all the sony 12 speaker 390 watt sound is OK however I would like to increase the volume potential. It is my understanding that full range is not delivered to any of the 12 speakers which prevents you from installing an amplifier up range of the 12 speakers. It is also my...

    Ugly Carpet Seam under Driver/Passenger Seats

    I agree I do need to be less critical as it does drive me crazy as nothing is ever good enough! I digress and at this point must admit I am back in love with my 2013 from hating my 2011.

    Ugly Carpet Seam under Driver/Passenger Seats

    I believe the point here is it Ford lacks specific attention to detail that foreign car manufacturers don't have a problem with also if this many people notice it ford should have taken notice as well
