I'm running all active setup so I had to run new speaker wires anyways. My current setup is using variable line-level output I use the front left/right factory speaker wires to the RCA inputs on the miniDSP. Nonetheless you absolutely can change the configuration of your ACM to provide flat-eq, line-level (variable or fixed) output as it sits now, no extra modules needed I'm working on a small/simple chip to do the translations between Ford CAN and miniDSP CAN to allow factory volume control using aftermarket DSP and to use Sync to toggle between the miniDSP presets. The miniDSP C-DSP also uses canbus for it's wired remote control. In case of the latter, the volume dial/steering vol/etc will still send volume up/down commands over canbus. The ACM (factory head unit) can be changed to negate the Sony amplifier essentially you change the setting to either "standard speaker output radio" or "line level output" - the volume can be variable from the ACM or fixed (ideal if using DSP after it anyways). ForScan has several spreadsheets out there with the information - you can also change the BCM programming to have the alternator always stay on (ignore the factory current sensor on the battery like). You can re-program the ACM using ForScan for free - using a relatively cheap ODB III adapter ($20-$80, and good thing to have). ![]() I don't need crossovers so the drivers will be picked individually. ![]() I have been out of the speaker game for awhile so I'll have to do some reading on which way to go there. I haven't run a 2 way setup in a long time as the WRX and the CTS-V both ended up being 3 way. It looks like doing a simple 6.5" component setup will be the easiest as of right now since the front door location is a 6x9 and the rear is a 6.5. I also have the DSL 8's and the Scanspeak Discover 10F's out of the V but those won't really fit this application so I am going to have to figure out something for speakers. Luckily I robbed the V of some parts before I sold it so I have a starting point. I swear every time the bass hits the volume goes down by 1/2. Just when I thought factory systems couldn't get any worse, Sony put a system in this truck.
