  1. Front tires too much poke?

    To add even more craziness, if you get a different spec of the same tire it can cause a little more poke. For my rear end I made sure I got the Ferrari spec (K1) pilot sport 4S so I could have the 35 profile height of a 295 with the same tread width of a standard 305. K1 spec also was slightly...
  2. Front tires too much poke?

    Below video shows what I would consider perfectly flush. If you can give your fronts another 1.5 degrees of camber I think it’ll be pretty much perfectly flush like shown šŸ‘šŸ¼
  3. Expected cost to upgrade the B&O

    Hey! Have you got a thread or some pics of your install? I’d love to see how it all turned out. Looks like those components would be excellent ingredients for an epic soun d system :muscle:
  4. Let’s talk Slotted/drilled rotors

    Impulsive and irrational spending…. Gotta love the Mustang experience :muscle: :crackup:
  5. Expected cost to upgrade the B&O

    … but oh my goodness it is worth it šŸ¤˜šŸ¼
  6. Let’s talk Slotted/drilled rotors

    not really to be honest:blush:, but the wheels I certainly did. It seemed a lot more nimble.
  7. Let’s talk Slotted/drilled rotors

    OEM on the rear with two piece on the front shown below. Looks good IMO :thumbsup: but I’m bias of course! I went with Brypar two piece rotors on the front and left the OEM on the rear… I think it looks fine and there’s no issues with braking. One big issue that some people can get is when...
  8. Expected cost to upgrade the B&O

    US $1000-$1500 is about right for a simple sub upgrade provided you are willing to compromise a bit on boot space and SQ. I imagine that because it is a convertible some of the installs you’ve seen in the coupe chassis may not be able to be employed. In respect to what you get for your money...
  9. Local S650 Dyno

    Yep…. I’m hoping that they can unlock the ecu so they can do intake, remaps and hedders. If not I’ll be keeping my 2018 a little longer… I haven’t seen any evidence yet that they’ve managed this… anyone care to correct me if I’m wrong?
  10. Big Three Upgrade - S550

    I think the super cap is a great idea šŸ‘šŸ¼ I had to justify a lot of my install as a tech report (for third party interests) which were more vehicle performance oriented than car audio orientated, which meant a lot of design had weight implications as a deciding factor. The whole system had to...
  11. Big Three Upgrade - S550

    Kudos for finding and reviving an old thread instead of just creating a new one šŸ‘šŸ¼. I had to be mindful of adding weight when I considered my car audio install. Being an aviation tech I thought I’d test whether I’d need to upgrade the big three and found that it’s quite sufficient as OEM for...
  12. Subwoofer

    The best decision I ever made šŸ¤˜šŸ¼ the associated software is excellent, however I do warn that you’ll go from wanting a good system to going insane trying to achieve absolute nirvana. Almost all of the Car audio SQ tutorials feature the Helix software when they make adjustments so that should...
  13. Subwoofer

    Just my two cents.... My OEM system was the premium with the Shaker sub setup. When I took the entire sound system out and replaced them I found out some things... A set of Focal K2 3 ways up front, K2 coaxials in the back, through a Helix P Six Ultimate amplifier with NO subwoofer and a...
  14. Why do the settings on my audio equipment seem so far from normal in order to sound good to me?

    Those Focal Access series speakers are phenomenal, especially for the price. The tweeters can take a bit of EQ nursing if they are on axis, but off axis they are pretty sweet when compared to other sets mounted in the same position. I found that the OEM position of the tweeter gave a bit of a...
  15. Almost time to finish build...some questions

    More photos!!! Hope your build is going ok. One of the most important things I installed was a DSP and I think it is a key element in integrating a replacement setup on the Mustangs. I think it’s more important than upgrading the rear speakers! In my setup I have a set of Focal coax for rear...
  16. Why do the settings on my audio equipment seem so far from normal in order to sound good to me?

    It's a lot different to setting up a studio I can tell you! We use frequency sweeps in setting up studio monitors, but I got laughed at by the car audio gurus when I attempted to do the same with my ICE. All of the car audiophiles use pink noise due to the many reflections within a car that make...
  17. New speakers not cutting it for me and I don’t know why

    lol I like it hot :sun:. Maybe the speakers have broken in a bit since the sound check but it sounds fantastic :muscle: so I’m not changing a thing. I just had a thought though… Gallatyn did you make sure the adaptive volume is off on the OEM HU?
  18. New speakers not cutting it for me and I don’t know why

    I’m interested in this thread to se what it ends up being in the end. for a comparison I just ran out to my setup to see what the graphs looks like at a lower volume and it shows this… ignore the stuff under 100hz (it’s in SPL mode). The system was set to within 3db flat from 100hz up using...
  19. Brake Rotors and Pads

    I swapped to a two piece rotor (Brypar) when I changed the wheels over for some added weight reduction. Went from the OEM 15kg disc to just over 10kg. The weight reduction is closer to the hub so it’s probably not as big of a difference to a lightweight wheel but everything counts šŸ¤˜šŸ¼ I’m not...
