Very nice!

Thanks guys! I did call Ford yesterday and they just got back to me. They are going to have the dealer put a DDR on my Mom's car to track down the issue. They explained that this DDR is like a black box recorder found in planes. It will capture all electrical data and *should* be able to...

Hello, My 2010 Explorer has been great, no issues whatsoever. My mother also purchased a 2010 Explorer and she has had issues with starting hers. When she stops it to run an errand and tries to start the Ex the dash lights come on but the Ex won't start. No cranking or anything just dead...

The mileage on the V6 and V8 4x4 is the supposed to be the same for the 2010 model year according to the sticker. My mother bought a 2010 EB V8 and I bought a 2010 Limited V6 and I have put over 2000 miles on each vehicle and I drive each about the same. From my expereince the V8 does not get...

I completed my install today. First I must say I apologize for the lack of pictures. I can't seem to locate my camera. I looked for it for about an hour and finally gave up. This is probably the easiest car to take apart that I have ever owned. It took me about an hour to replace all 4 door...

I'm going to go with the Dayton DVC sub and place the JL 8W0 up for sale once I complete the install. It was a bit pricey but it *should* be a decent match to the factory amp and enclosure size. The factory opening may need to be enlarged a bit but if jrford got a 10" to work I'm sure removing...

Thanks! Not sure what exact size the Explorer has stock. I think they are 6x8's. I know that Crutchfield says they fit perfectly and they are normally right on with what fits. It is a 2008. it was "born" on 2/21/2008. We did the work in October 08 so it was a bit more than 6 months old. My...

Sonixelectronics.com Not "JL authorized" but they have a great return policy for defective items and if a driver isin't blown initially it most likely won't fail unless you over/under power it. I have been using Sonixelectronics for a while and they are great to deal with. Here is a recent...

The Dayton requires a 7.362" hole. The JL requires a 7" cutout. The kicker only requires a 6 7/8" cutout but may be too deep at 4.25". jrford, could you possibly measure the factory sub you removed if you still have it? I'm ready to pull the trigger on the Dayton but would prefer not to have to...

Here is what I purchased for the doors. I got 4 of these on the way. http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/15590.pdf I doubt Best Buy carries the Dayton. They porbably have Kickers though. I think I'm leaning towards the Dayton now since I'm betting the 8W0 is not going to work properly. Depth...

Absolutely! The JL is 4.063 and we know from that other thread that it fits but will this one I wonder? I also found a Dayton NS210-44 8 that is DVC and that is only 2.5" deep and looks like a good match to the factory enclosure. Now I need to sell my JL 8W0 before it even arrives. I got a...

Now I'm thinking of going with the Kicker 10CVR84. It is a DVC, 4 Ohm 8" sub that is 4.25 deep. Will this fit depth wise does anyone know?

Thanks JR. I'm pretty sure the amp will not be happy just putting the leads together. I may try the positive from one set of outputs and the negative from the other and see how the amp likes being put into "bridged" mode. If not I may just need to buy an amp. How did you wire the new amp?Did...

I'm still confused. when you say 2x2 I assume the factory sub is a DVC. I did not think you could use a SVC sub if the original was a DVC sub. What am I missing?

The JL 8W0 I purchased is a SVC 4 Ohm sub. I do not think I have the "Audiophile" system. I believe I have the "Premium" system. I would think that if I had the "Audiophile" system it would be an upcharge listed on my Window Sticker and it is not listed.

I have the same question. I'm replacing the stock speakers including the stock sub. I have purchased a JL Audio 8W0 sub which I understand is a direct replacement but I'd like confirmation. My Explorer is a 2010 Limited.

I don't know much about the aftermarket headrest systems but I know in 2010 Explorers you could order a set from the factory and I have also seen these systems on eBay so you could probably get these but they are a bit pricey. Best price I have seen them for is about 1750.00. I assume these will...

I just purchased a new 2010 Limited and I was surprised to find that my 18" Chrome wheels are not really true chrome wheels but a chrome plastic covering on plain cast wheels. Is this a new in 2010 or are all "Chrome" wheels for the explorer like this? I was VERY disappointed when I noticed this.

I have using the German Castrol 0W-30 for years in all my cars (except my diesel) and I have been very happy with that oil. I have the oil tested after each change and the tests have always come back glowing. In one case I went 12,000 miles (mostly highway) on one oil change and the TBN came...

Hello, My name is Mike and I'm new to the Explorer but not new to automotive forums. I just purchased a new 2010 Explorer Limited. I'm very happy with the Explorer so far and I look forward to learning more about my new SUV here. I traded a 2008 Mustang GT Convertible that I installed a...
