    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I first test drove my 2019 Rebel in Nov 2018 and bought it in May 2019. Yes, it was 6 mos, but it was not getting much action with all the incentives on the trim levels. I was watching and my patience paid off. Only had 70mi on it and 40 were from me. I actually had to warranty the steering...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Complete speculation, but since you are pulling from the amplified input, won't that cut into the power provided to the rear door speaker thus knocking your system out of balance?

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I'm at +7 bass, 0 mid and +2 treble. I tried streaming Pandora tonight. FFDP:Way of the Fist was on. Lots of good kick drum bass in that tune. The audio quality was better than Sirius and, while there was a difference in the speed adj, it wasn't nearly as bad

    Which sub did you go with? Are you installing any additional processing equipment?

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    A couple of things I've noticed that make a difference are the type of music and perhaps source input. I generally listen to hard/heavy/metal, but if I have top 40 or hip-hop on, the bass is legit and this isn't an issue. Also of note, the older the song, the lesser the quality - which is...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    If I added a sub, I'd need to add an amp - which would solve this by itself w/o the subs. The built-in head unit/amp provides the necessary watts - if Speed Adj is put on 3. I'd think you still see this happen with your setup(where everything is boosted w/loudness & SpAdj@3), though you don't...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    After replacing all 6 speakers in my stock system, the problem I am now noticing is output from the head unit/amp. Unless I have loudness on and volume adj at 3, the bass is lacking. The system sounds pretty good as long as I have those settings up - even when I adjust the volume down via the...

    Volume Speed Adjust Is The ONLY Way To Get Max System Volume

    My problem with this isn't the volume, but the quality. Without loudness on and speed adj set to 3, their is just no punch. I have replaced all 6 of my speakers and they sound great, as long as I have those set. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas to have it where the amp is pushing wattage to...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    Hey. Sorry for the delay, but better late than never. I did the dash Kickers first months before the doors and they were noticeably louder than the stock dash as well as the doors. I was riding with the system shifted 2 clicks off center toward the rear. After putting the JBL's in the doors, I'm...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I went with Kicker's for the dash for $38 from walmart and JBL GX series for $65x2 from Best Buy. The key is the door speakers are 2ohm so if you go down to 4ohm, you will lose volume. The JBL's are 2.7ohm resistance and I don't need to turn the dial past 25. Much louder than stock - w/o an amp...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I've been researching a bunch of threads and I came across someone who bypassed their tweeter for the front doors. I looked a bit and cannot find the post now, not even sure if it's this site - but it is a how-to video if it's something that's an option you want to explore.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I've been doing research via this forum, youtube and online chats. Chose to only upgrade the speakers in my base 6 system in my Rebel. Total cost was under $200. Dash Speakers from Walmart ($37.46/pr) KICKER 44KSC3504 3.5" (89mm) Coax Spkrs w/.5"(13mm) tweeters, 4ohm, RoHS Compliant Walmart #...

    Tonneau Covers

    I didn't need any, it's flush, but this is what I was thinking: weatherstrip Or something like this with an air pocket in the center may contour better: seal
