So you think getting an 8 channel helix would be the best option and leave my current head unit? Does the DSP by pass the low quality stereo? Head unit I would rather just get the 8 channel then L deal with anything more with this system just want it done
I guess my question is, is the helix...
Now I wonder what the best solution, or easiest solution would be to get a good sounding system?
A) $1300.00 Buy the linkswell system that has built in DSP and more powerful stereo? It’s roughly same price as the premium mustangs stereo
B) $2,000-$2400.00 Buy mustang Premium Stereo, and still...
That does look like the ultimate solution, unfortunately the design is kind of atrocious you lose the factory start stop location, toggle switches etc but it looks like it has all the bells and whistles regarding the DSP, amplified etc and RCA connections this would probably be the best solution...
If the DSP fixes my audio quality the budget is limitless, but if it still sounds like trash and determine it’s the headunit than I’d rather put money towards the ford oem premium head unit that’s 1500.00 programmed and thank you I’ll fix that asap
If I tune the speakers through the eq on the headunit it sounds good at high volume trash at low volume like the bass isn’t in existence at low to med volume only max and then god forbid I click radio the sound is in an entirely different galaxy, I bought the harness that converts the sub box...
I don’t have a DSP, just called crutch field they recommend the speakers got all speakers replaced and an amp for the speakers, and also have 2 10” subs with amp
the head unit may be the issue I thought I had to adjust the forscan but I guess it makes sense it won’t help if it’s uninstalled...
i already installed everything, all new speakers with amp, and subs with separate amp just trying to confirm the forscan values for my system ?? Any idea
This is what I’ve found scouring the net, looks to be what I want can anyone confirm?
This worked on my 2017 F150 and 2017 Mustang
Variable Line Level Preamp Outputs From ACM (for adding
aftermarket amp without sound clipping)
ACM 727-01-01 xx5A xxxx XXXX
ACM 727-01-02 00xx
I have custom speakers, 6 speaker base stereo. All upgraded, amp to the speakers, 2 subs with an amp and one of those tesla style 10” display head units, the sound is terrible it’s very difficult to tune to a decent audio profile
I was going to try the ACM command line changes can someone...
I only had torq wrench that went to 20 ft lb manual says 30 so I just gave it a little more and called it a day hopefully it’s all good followed manual with anti seize etc
Thank you all for your responses and help, luckily a friend with a whipple is smart and ordered spare parts going to order him a replacement and get myself one as well for future my car as well only has a few thousand miles on whipple I’ll contact maybe her a free one
