Bi-amp mode is designed for component setups and has appropriate frequency cutoffs. I swapped to a Kenwood component speaker setup with mid-tweeters in the dash, and I set the Key up in bi-amp mode to just run the front doors and dash speakers. I don't think a sub would have balanced that out. I started with the Subaru Kicker tweeters and replacement speakers in all doors (I went with JBL GT6 or 7, I forget), no sub. The Kicker Key does a good job of balancing/correcting the output from the stock HU, and there may be other amps that can do the same. Very interested to hear from anyone about aftermarket HUs and if the expense is worth the SQ improvement.Īlso I found crutchfield customer support to be invaluable. Very few HUs have volume knobs but JVC has "gesture" controls for volume so that's where I'm looking. If you want to keep _all_ the steering wheel controls you'll have to get the iDataLink and that adds $240 to the price of any HU (CRUX does not keep phone controls on the 2nd gen steering wheel, 3rd gen even more is lost). It's hard to justify the expense but I've read several places from folks on here who have tried DSPs and LOCs that ultimately found an aftermarket HU is really where it's at for sound quality (please confirm.help me justify $700 on a new HU). If I were buying an amp today I'd probably go with because it has the lights to set gain, has 75W but I'm happy with my class AB alpine (but wishing I had more than 50 watts.you will too but have to consider amp draw, etc.).įor a sub I went with: - at 150 RMS its no JBL but it sounds greats especially for rock/alternative - just barley fits in the rear floor of my access cab (taking out the rear center console helps but not required) but its a great deal for the money and includes an enclosure (and getting the enclosure right is really important - there's a lot more to subs then just getting an amp and speaker: placement, enclosure - down firing in a prebuilt box is a "no brainier" so that's the route I took).Įverything sounds really, really good and I'm happy but I still have the stock HU and there's no getting around the limitations of the stock HU which becomes very noticeable once you start changing out speakers. I tried the keyloc and sent it back, almost no improvement on the stock HU. I had a 50W/150w bridged alpine amp from a previous build. The RFs are really good speakers but the crossovers will have to be installed in the cab (too big for the doors) so you'll have to run speakers wire which is very doable w/a "wire worm." The mid bass speakers really have some punch you will not get from the KS and they have a -3db on the tweeters which I think is a requirement for the stock HU - I get the impression the stock HU really boosts the highs. I went through a "budget" upgrade last summer on my 2015 accesscab, tried the KS and found them lacking settled on these: The stock HU is tuned for the stock speakers replacing the speakers reveals inherent HU limitations. Fair Warning: once you replace the speakers you're going to want a new HU. Now all of a sudden it Only shows up in a totally different state and with exact name search. Is there something I could do to send signals to Google to show that I am in Matthews, NC?Ģ months ago my listing quit showing up at all unless you typed exact business name What could possibly cause my listing or Google to do this? I have been without my listing for a few months now and have NO calls coming in from it. If you search Locksmith Independence, KS it shows up on the maps. If you search Locksmith Matthews, NC my listing does not show up at all. Keep in mind the GMB is in Matthews, NC All my service areas and the actual map show the correct areas. Now if I search my business name under the auto populate I see it with Independence, KS on the listing. I pretty much do not have any traffic, views or calls now. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name.
