![]() ![]() In the front, we started by completely sound-deadening the front doors to eliminate any rattling or buzzing that could occur from the high-performance speakers being installed. Thanks to proper design, installation and tuning, we made the truck sound significantly better with half the number of speakers. Many, many times, less can be more and this was one of them. This F150 had 11 total speakers in it when we were finished, it had five. If you do a comparison online between two different trucks, all things being equal, what seems more impressive: the one with six speakers or the one with nine? I think you get the point. Car makers put dozens of speakers in a vehicle in the name of sound quality, when in reality, it is all about marketing. One of the saddest things happening in modern car audio systems is the use of way too many speakers. Once reassembled the door looks completely stock. ![]() Sometimes Less Is More: Great Sound From Hertz And Audison Speakers Now that we have a good-quality musical signal to build upon, we use a powerful processor inside of the Bit10D to fine-tune the musical signal that will go to each speaker. ![]() Now we have a full-range musical signal with no added equalization, just like the original recording. When you do a nice audio upgrade, the equalization Ford added will hurt the sound quality, not help it. Ford decided, in its infinite wisdom, to add an equalization curve to the music, to try to get its inexpensive speakers to sound better. The second thing the Bit10D does for us is de-equalize the music. In simple terms, summing is where we take the musical signal that Ford divided up and put it all back together into one complete piece, giving us a good base from which to start. The Bit10D handles all of the summing for us. In this instance, we were able to get a full range signal by summing the front door woofers and the tweeters. The Sony system divides the musical signal into three parts: the subwoofer, front door woofers and front tweeters. This is a unique device and, in the right hands, can do wonders for an audio system. The system starts with an Audison Bit10D processor. The Audison BitTenD DRC Controller is within the client’s fingertips for control of the master volume, subwoofer level, tuning presets and more! Audison Bit10D Handles Audio Signal Processing For This Baltimore F150 Client What it did need was a sound quality overhaul, and that is what we gave him. It works very well and looks great in the dash. Sometimes Keeping the Stock Radio is The Right Choice Keeping the factory Navigation unit as the source for this system made the most sense.įirst and foremost, neither the customer nor WSS had any intentions of replacing the stock Sony navigation system. We set an installation date, and it was off to the races. After doing the demos, we worked up what we felt was the best solution for his needs, and he liked what we put together. We listened to several different products to determine what he liked the best. ![]() We went out to the truck with the customer, listened to the audio system with him and noticed that it had the top-of-the-line Sony system with navigation.Īfter sitting in the truck for a while and listening to its sound system, we both came to the same conclusion: It sounded lifeless and dull, and needed a major upgrade, so off to the sound room we went. He had read some of our articles about upgrades we had done to the last-generation F150, so he decided to make the drive out to see us. A customer came to WSS Westminster Speed & Sound from Baltimore, Maryland, with his brand-new 2015 Ford F150, looking to dramatically improve the sound quality of his vehicle’s audio system. ![]()
