![]() ![]() Many mechanics have heard of an EZ-out and have probably used one to remove a broken bolt. Since then many broken bolt extractors have come to market and offered different ways to remove the busted stud. Pics coming soon.The issue of broken bolts has plagued mechanics and repair shops since the introduction of the bolt. But it's so minimal that I have to listen for it and sounds normal when other parts of the car vibrate louder and more often.Īlso installed new exterior pieces. Better to do that with soundproofing than cranking up the volume.Īlso in some parts of some songs, my louvers vibrate against the rear glass. Only complaint is no matter how good a sound system, road/wind noise will always be present and need to be overcome. ![]() But now that I've felt additional bass from the subwoofer, I won't be happy going back.Īll sounds great when parked. That almost has me thinking I would have been happy with the stock system. ![]() I set it to even bias all around (rear, front left, front right) - that woke up the front speakers so highs and lows are much more audible. I discovered the stock headunit sets the speakers to a factory default of rear bias (resets to this every time you disconnect the battery). ![]() Bass sounds clean and full but not overbearing. Cool thing about installation is its harness routes along the car's harness from behind the instrument panel, shares existing clips in the door sill, and follows all the way to the trunk. OEM Kicker sub + OEM bass limiter harness have been on a few weeks. I've listened to O+ and it might be marginally better but doubt it's 3x ($1k worth) better than stock speakers with Kicker sub + bass limiter on stock HU. The OEM sub enclosure is designed from a bigger name (Kicker) and installation is higher quality than O+ which requires cutting of interior pieces and bending of brackets in the trunk. If the Fujitsu Ten is the common denominator between the two systems, I'll pick the speaker system better matched to it (stock) instead of spending extraneously on something with greater potential (how much greater, I'm not sure) that remains dormant. I also feel upgrading the stock Fujitsu Ten head unit to aftermarket will be mandatory to unlock the full potential of O+ but I'm stubborn to change it because OEM and money. Just need to offload lower frequencies to the OEM sub (and bass limiter harness) so the 6 stock speakers can better blast the frequencies within their optimal ranges. And this article, though biased, does a great job selling the system: īut I reasoned the stock speakers were also selected with the car's acoustics in mind to some extent. He went over how he picked out the DSPs and the new CF speakers. I'm willing to live with occasional rattle.Īlso a couple years ago at 86Fest I spoke with O+'s system tuner Sandy Lirag. But I didn't want to go through that trouble and the lower cost and easier installation of the OEM Kicker is a less risky commitment. Their brand manager Daniel offered support to tune out any frequencies that might cause my louvers to rattle and sounded very reassuring. So I was concerned with my louvers rattling and called OEM Audio Plus (O+) to see if any of their customers with louvers had issues. I'm also pondering whether to do the OEM sub or OEM audio +. ![]()
