  1. Coming back to Ford...and an ode to a Tundra

    I always thought I'd hate adaptive cruise control until we got it in my wife's car, and now I won't buy a vehicle without it. It's just one less thing to demand energy and attention during a long drive, and I realized quickly that after a 5+ hour trip I simply felt more awake and ready to...
  2. Coming back to Ford...and an ode to a Tundra

    We had a Sienna when the kids were smaller and it was fantastic. I really wanted a Taco back when I got the Colorado, but you couldn't get a nice interior with more than a 5' bed and the cabin size was an issue for me even when the kids were still small. Somewhere in the middle, really. But...
  3. Coming back to Ford...and an ode to a Tundra

    Very true, but generally I find I like cars aimed at a younger crowd more appealing. My non-truck transportation is a WRX.
  4. Coming back to Ford...and an ode to a Tundra

    I love the look of the current Tundra. I think it's the best looking full-size. But even setting aside all the engine recalls, I found the cabin to be severely lacking. The seats weren't comfortable and the rear seat space was severely cramped. I'm 6' 0" and there was no spot in the rear I...
  5. @SoundsGoodStereo Sound Treatment Installation Video

    My approach to deadening was similar. Listen to the resonance of panels and add deadener where I could hear an audible difference. I used about 7.5 sq. ft. per front door and about 5 sq. ft. per rear of 80mil butyl. The was an audible difference when closing an untreated vs treated door as...
  6. @SoundsGoodStereo Sound Treatment Installation Video

    The block off plates that SGS include in this package make a really noticeable difference in the mid-bass. I did my truck with the rears first and then the fronts (just due to time availability) and having only done the rears, ALL of the mid-bass was coming from the back, which is crazy since...
  7. 2024 XLT Super Crew Cab rear seats question

    I can lock the base of the 60 side down with a key in my 24 XLT, but that could be part of the mobile office package.
  8. Testing the Kicker Key, 7 Speaker XLT

    I did decide to switch up and bi-amp the fronts, so I ordered the Kicker CS tweeters to go in the A-pillars. Because I still want to amp the rear speakers, and I want to be able to tweak stuff myself, I switched to the Infinity/JBL 8-channel DSP amp (and the Kicker ISLOAD to keep the head unit...
  9. Testing the Kicker Key, 7 Speaker XLT

    So, with my 2024 truck, the Forscan spreadsheet Livinitup maintains doesn't list ACM settings (the ACM sention is labeled 21-23). I did try the change listed to set the EQ off (0) and all it did was cut some highs over 8k. The rest of the graph was basically identical. So either the setting...
  10. Testing the Kicker Key, 7 Speaker XLT

    So, this is the 2024 base radio, no Forscan adjustments to the EQ, interface EQ set flat, but with the 4 door speakers replaced with Infinity Reference 6.5". Clearly a lot more bass than Allted is seeing with the stock speakers. A little concerning about that trough from 120-200Hz though, as...
  11. Testing the Kicker Key, 7 Speaker XLT

    All I've done so far is to swap the stock door speakers (F+R) to the Infinity reference 6.5" and it's not a "wow" difference, but it has so much more clarity and the sound doesn't go to mush when you get above 1/2 volume. If the truck had come this way I might not have bothered to do anything...
  12. Testing the Kicker Key, 7 Speaker XLT

    The KEY200.4 will act as a DSP whether you use it as a 4-channel amp or "Bi-Amp" only 2-channels. https://www.kicker.com/app/manuals/47KEY2004.pdf
  13. Testing the Kicker Key, 7 Speaker XLT

    What microphone did you go with? I'm about to go down nearly the same route. I've got some Infinity Reference 6.5s ready to install front and rear, the Key200.4 and HS10 are en-route. I've got a 2024 (base system), so I'm not sure if the ACM settings for Forscan are known (the spreadsheet...
