I removed the passenger side door panel to replace a speaker, and despite being careful, I snapped the tab that connects the "upper" and "lower" panels, resulting in a gap when I put the door panel back on the door (see attached photos). Is there a decent solution to this? I was thinking about...
I have a 2016 convertible, and will be upgrading the speakers in the door as soon as the weather is decent (on a weekend). Will likely post pictures and a write up of the process. I have the base sound system, which is trash.
Upgrading to Kicker 46CSC674, max watts appears to be 100. For now, I won't be installing an amp or a subwoofer*.
*Was kicking around the idea of getting small powered subwoofer I could put underneath one of the seats.
I have a the base level sound system in a 2016 Mustang convertible. I am upgrading the 6.5 inch speaker in the door. As it is the base system, it is the only speaker in the door. The Metra 72-5602 wiring harness instructions state:
The are (4) wires in this harness, (2) for the midrange...
Wait, you can fit 4 people in your car? I have a 2016 convertible, and the back seats are a total joke. Do the non convertibles have a little more room?
I did the 4 to 8 conversion. It's totally worth it; it gives the car a more premium feel. I added satellite radio and GPS nav as well. It's great. The stereo still sounds pretty lousy, though. Luckily, I have a convertible, so I can't really hear it anyway. I have a longer term plan to add an...
Me too.
Possible suggestion, upgrade to the big screen. I, along with other members, have done so. It's nicer to have OEM parts. I added the big screen, GPS navigation, and satellite radio to my base system.
I wash under the hood all the time. Just keep the pressure kind of low. Squirt some soap on it, then rinse. Don't worry about getting it super clean the first time. Each time you do it, it will get cleaner. Now, I do this in a casual fashion; this isn't a show car. I am sure there are better...
I had to get some OEM covers off of ebay. My 2016 didn't come with them. I got it used, so no huge surprise there. Lots of non OEM covers don't have foam on them at all.
Indeed. Once paint develops an issue, it will not stop. I am also dealing with paint chips/scratches/etc. The previous owner was not at all careful about the finish of the car (or anything, really), so I basically have to restore a 2016 Mustang.
