2014 FX4 W/SonyNav More Volume
Hey All,
So I'm new to the forum but have spent many hours reading previous postshere.
So as the title says i have a 2014 FX4 with the Sony/Nav and I'm desiring alittle more. Clarity in the system seems fine, it’s the volume or lack thereofthat I want to address.
I am on a tight budget and looking for the best solutions.
Currently I have 4 Kicker 41KS684's on order and will be putting those inalong with dynamiting the doors. But I am assuming I will want more once that’sdone.
Options that I'm thinking of:
1- Alpine mrx-V70 and then down the road replace the stock sub
2- Alpine KTP-445U or Clarion XC1410 and then a powered sub down the road
3- Alpine KTP-445U or Clarion XC1410 and XC1110 mini amps
What my issues are:
Is knowing where to get signal from?
Where the mini amps need to be tapped in? In the center console right inplace of the stock amp?
How could I retain the center dash speaker if going to a new amp?
What if any wiring harnesses are available? sounds like the Metra BT-5520won't work on the 2013/2014?
Do I need a Signal Processor like the LC2i sub only or LC6i with eitherinstall?
Will I maintain full HU functions like front/rear, right/left control?
If I do the V70 with the speaker Level inputs do I need to or would it be recommendedto also use the LC6i
I Really appreciate any advice I can get on this.
Cheers!
