I'd rather hear the sound of the motor to be honest with you.

Really? You never, ever listen to music in your car and only listen to your engine all the time? Really?

So what is actually removed from the car besides the speakers you replaced?

Nothing else was removed - just the speakers and sub and then replaced with all new components, speedwire to/from the dloc to the new amp, etc.

So you kept the stock amp? If so, can you please provide a list of speakers you installed? Thanks.

Focal 165ACS3 up front
Focal 165AC in the rear deck
JL Audio 10w3v2 sub in a custom ported box
Kenwood 900/5 5 Channel amp
PAC PDLC81 DLOC
Speedwire
Custom brackets for the doors
Lots of time/labor for install.

This should help:

I've never heard a factory upgraded stereo that sounded like an upgraded stereo... that's why I didn't spec one for mine. Aftermarket is the only way to go if you want a good stereo.

I find it comical when people ask if we've adjusted the settings. There's not really much to adjust. Bass, mid, treble, fade, and driver/passenger. The system is plain lacking regardless of how you adjust these simple settings.

I actually don't understand why it doesn't come with a 5 or 7 band eq when we have a big ass 8" screen which could easily accommodate such a function. Even if it was listed as an "advanced" setting.

Usually that comes from people who think Beats are great headphones too...

The best sound I've found so far for my taste (in addition to the all new speakers/amp) is with Spotify on the 320k stream connected via usb and using the custom EQ w/in the app. The head unit settings for treble and mid are flat and bass it set way down.

Spotify has a 320k stream option??? Nice.

It's because of power sells. They can advertise that it puts out 500W of power and instantly people are attracted. Try boosting the midrange a bit, I found most Ford speaker systems are pretty flat for the vocals.

On the other hand, when you look at the THX speakers in the Lincolns, they intentionally don't advertise the power levels because those systems are about audio quality. The average customer wouldn't pay 5x as much for a system that puts out less power because they realistically don't understand the metrics such as SNR and the types of op-amps that go into the higher end DACs.

Yep - only on the paid account (after 30 day trial expires) but worth every penny. I just wish the 'station' aggregator was as good as Pandora.

I intentionally avoid Spotify because they cost the artists a lot of lost revenue. Taylor Swift may have been the first to leave, but more and more are pulling their songs because the mass streaming devalues their music so much.

And while you may or may not agree on how much an artist should make, it's never fun to have your product lose its value because someone else is distributing it to the masses effectively for free.
