- 2016 Expl. XLT 4WD 3.5L
Hi all- been reading a lot of great info here, just joined.
I have a 2016 XLT with the 8" LCD, 9-speaker, non-sony ACM. I am experiencing an awful static sound in the front speakers. It sounds like a blown speaker and is audible with just the chimes and alerts, not just music.
I replaced the stock front speakers with a pair of JL Audios, no improvement.
I am about to upgrade to an aftermarket amp and subwoofer, but I'm concerned that the if the static is from the ACM, I'll just be amplifying the static sound.
Has anyone experienced this? Some of the other forums say it could a ground issue, but that usually changes with engine speed...
Lastly, if the ACM is bad and I go to eBay to buy a used ACM, is the internal amp in the Touchscreen unit or in the CD module?
Thanks!
