Added a sub woofer/amp to my stock system.

[ClayDee]

Added a JL Audio 10tw3-d8, and an old school JL Audio 500/1 V2 with the Audio Control LC2i to my stock system. Sounds pretty damn good for a shallow mount sub. Seems like I'm getting some interference with the exhaust sound coming through the stock speakers. What mic do I need to disable/unplug inside the car? Or is there any difference in doing so? Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

JL makes some of the best subs on the market. I used to have the big brother TW5 in my F-150 and it sounded better than peoples full size subs from other brands. I to plan on adding their stealth box made custom for the 350 in the future which includes the same sub you purchased. What do you mean with exhaust sound coming through the speakers though? Fake exhaust sound?

I plan on doing a similar install soon. Bulldog has a good suggestion - you should probably eliminate the "fake exhaust" sound via FORScan. I did this on my car, and now run the "loud" exhaust all the time without the annoying interior amplification.

waitaminute...we don't have fake exhaust sounds through our speaker....right?!?!?

Sadly - your awesome exhaust sound is "enhanced."

Search, "GT350 ESE" or engine sound enhancement. You can disable via FORScan. I disabled mine, and would never reactivate.

I thought there was a interior mic that could be disconnected?.....

Nooooooooo!!! I honestly had no clue. Well...that’s a bummer..Atleast it still sounds awesome on the outside, I guess.

The distortion was a problem for improved sound systems from the start in 2015. It took us a until early 2017 to confirm and find a solution. GT's have a mic system, The GT350's don't. You need to disable the enhanced engine sound through a Forscan adjustment. There is plenty of info on it in the Forscan area.

Eco has the mic not the gt or the Shelby. I have no problem with my sound system.

Where are you getting the signal for you lc2i?

If you don't have FORScan, or want an assist, drive down to Jacksonville and I'll help out.

(Good self-reminder, I haven't tried to reconnect FORScan since I added the Lund tune...)

Can you disable it with the Forscan lite app using a ELM bluetooth dongle?

I used ScanTool OBDLink MX Bluetooth and FORScan on my laptop. I followed the instructions on the FORScan thread. I read the entire thread a few times, and also read about FORScan at the dedicated forum. Last thing I did was watch a few YouTube videos on making changes, although these weren't as helpful.

It took a few hours in my car with a laptop to figure it out. The hardest part was the first connection, then it went smoother after that. Some things aren't completely self-explanatory, but the information is in the thread here.

The car is loud enough inside as it is, I just want to eliminate the artificial NVH into the cabin. My soon to be installed Kooks will make up for the eliminated artificial sounds. So I'll need to use the laptop version to get to some of the programming settings to eliminate it.

Trust me is you put on some kooks headers you won't be able to hear anything in like a quarter mile radius

My ears are used to long tubes. So I guess, you can say I'm kind of deaf.

I'm looking forward to annoying everyone else around me.
