    sumo springs - little review

    Silver bullet, I did the same thing and had the same experience. I went back in and removed the 1 inch spacers that I also put on the first time like you. That brought my UNLOADED ride back to the OEM smoothness. The SUMO SPRINGS now only engage when I hit a significant bump on the road or under...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    392DCGC, The Bowers and Wilkins system in the Volvo is a Harman system too and that system is a level up in performance. The B&W system is a very good system, I'm glad you are enjoying that system. The products in the Volvo are different than the HK system and the system tuning is also different...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    Please give your feedback through the FCA survey. FCA actually pays attention to their customer feedback. If you can be a little more specific as to what you are missing with the system sound it would be a great help. What's missing in the low end that you don't like in the 202 system? What are...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    I'm glad you are a fan. Infinity is a Harman brand and the 1st Chrysler sound systems (at the time it was just Chrysler) were very good OEM audio systems that made both Chrysler and Harman a lot of money. My guess is you already know this but there are some ways to manipulate the sound system...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    The older radios with the 5 band EQ were commonly set to a "smiley" face setting by most consumers. The EQ's even though there were 5 controls were really Bass Mid and Treble controls. It's about cost. Also all the controls now are through a DSP now in the amplifiers and the older stile controls...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    "Watt ratings" are a funny thing because after market and OEM have tremendously different requirements for life testing products. Typical after market products rate power with an 8 hour power test. Power test are basically how much power can the loudspeaker endure usually using a broadband noise...

    HK subwoofer ohm rating

    I work for Harman (BTW it's Harman/Kardon) and am very familiar with that speaker as I'm the engineer who works on FCA speakers. The sub in the new Ram is a single voice coil 10 inch in a 9 liter box. The speaker is rated at 6 ohm impedance. That speaker is pretty impressive in that little box...

    Rear air bags

    I have a 2020 1500 Big Horn North Edition and just installed the recommended Sumosprings for my truck. The North edition is suppose to have a 1 inch factory lift already on the truck. Because of this I used the plastic spacer that came with the Sumosprings. Adding the spacer put the Sumosprings...

    Block Heater 2020 Ecodiesel

    I suppose one could run a short extension cord from this spot and tie it down to wherever you wanted it to exit on the vehicle. I used my engine block heater last night for the first time (temps got to below 0 F ) I did not fully latch the hood so it was easy to open this morning and remove the...

    Cutting the ANC mic wires

    A loud droning noise may not be coming from the Active Noise cancellation system but rather the EOC (Engine Order Cancellation) system. EOC noise cancellation is an RPM regulated noise cancellation algorithm that reduces cabin noise from the engine/transmission/drivetrain that makes it's way...

    Speed adjusted volume question base w/6spkrs and ANC

    Just turn it off in the UConnect Audio settings menu. If speed control volume setting is set correctly, you are not supposed to hear it working. A correct setting should result in no substantially noticeable difference in sound level from the audio system when being at a stop light and...

    Block Heater 2020 Ecodiesel

    I just bought a 2020 New body style 1500 Bighorn 3.0l Eco diesel with the North package , I love it. The heater block plug is under the hood (facing the truck) near the back left fender well by the coolant tank. It uses a standard grounded extension cord to connect. No special MOPAR cable required.
