So I won't lose a lot by just doing the front and not the back...? You really can't change out the factory head unit in the MKS...

The factory sound system is just "OK"... certainly not what I would expect from a "16 speaker, 700 watt system with a 10" subwoofer", etc... I am not expecting a "wow" or night and day difference - just something "better" sounding than what is there now. I don't need a competition or...

Thanks for the reply! The car is a 2014 Lincoln MKS - with the THXII audio system with 16 speakers (including 10" subwoofer) and 14-channel amplifier with 700 watts of maximum power (per specs.) So by going from the factory 8 ohms to the aftermarket 2.5 (or even 4) ohms - wouldn't that...

I am looking to replace the factory speakers in a 2014 Ford/Lincoln that has a factory amp. The factory 1" tweeters are 8 ohms, 25 watts; the mid-range 3 1/2" are 8 ohms, 25 watts; the 5x7 are 4 ohms, 50 watts. What effects will replacing the speakers with lower ohms have? The JBL Stadium...

I need some help with a factory Lincoln MKS (with THX II sound system) speaker upgrade. I am trying to do this the "easiest" way possible first - by just replacing the speakers - if that doesn't improve the sound appreciably, then I will change out the amp as well. The factory system (THX II)...

Is this JL Audio VX800/8i amp with DSP really worth it...? http://www.jlaudio.com/vx800-8i-car-audio-vxi-amplifiers-98633

Thanks! Is one way considered to be "better" than the other...?

Can anyone help me upgrade the sound system in a 2014 Lincoln MKS with the THX II audio system...? The THX system sounds thin, etc. The problem is there are 16 speakers (including 10" subwoofer) and a 14-channel amplifier with 700 watts maximum power. I don't want or need a competition system...

No one....?

I know! And cost twice as much... I am totally confused!

Ok, I really NEED your guys help... I know this is the car audio forum, but you guys REALLY know your stuff, and I REALLY need your help... I am trying to decide between two Infinity home audio subs. One is a 300-Watt Powered Subwoofer With 10" Driver and Dual 10" Passive Radiators with a...

Ok, so I should be taking a sheet and contouring it to the door then, so every inch is attached to metal...?

Hi, Well, I just completed installing the 36 sq.ft. Dynamat package in my trunk... I now have a question about the doors... From what I can see in the videos on Dynamat's website and the instructions included, it looks like you just take a sheet of Dynamat and stretch it over the opening in...

Hi, I am installing 2 amps - one 4 channel amp with 125 x 4 Watts, and one 2 channel amp with 125 x 2 watts... I am looking at a 6 farad capacity - is this too large? Is there such a thing as having a too large farad capacitor?
