Packing all the extra iCruze cables in behind the head unit was a chore . Replies to this message: navi_asylym (Oct 15, 2007 6:46 am) akirby (Oct 15, 2007 7:08 am)
#19 of 36 Linoln Navigator: Replacing/Upgrading factory sound system by navi_asylym Oct 15, 2007 (6:46 am)
Replying to: gryhnd1 (Apr 23, 2007 5:26 pm) Hi Fellow Navi Fans. I have a 2003 Navigator that came with the factory sound package/navigation. I noticed the speakers sound a bit weak after you listen to loud music for 20-30 minutes. I am planning to replace the factory speakers and add a custom box for added bass, however, keeping the head unit and navigation factory. Any ideas where to start? I had a GMC Denali before and I had to rewire the entire car since each speaker had a built-in am attached to it. Anyone ran into the same issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.   -Giovanni Replies to this message: akirby (Oct 15, 2007 7:08 am)

They can tell you everything you need in the way of adapters, amp bypasses, etc and they have all the hardware.   If you're just replacing the door speakers you shouldn't need anything special. There are no separate amps for those. The sub may be a different story.
#22 of 36 Factory THX Radio.. Does it have Preamp Outputs? by 08navigator Jan 15, 2008 (12:06 pm)
The dealership, sales rep and parts department are no answer, neither is the internet. Does anyone know if the THX (no navigation) head unit has preamp outputs? It says that there are 2 subwoofers and a total of 600 watts on line, but it doesn't go into any details as to preamp outs, % of thd and stuff. I'd like to just keep the head unit in the dash since it will match much better, already is sync'd with the suv's info center to mute when getting too close to backing up and stuff. Plus it's nice to have the extra controls in the back and the steering wheel controls. I'm sure I'd loose all of that if I tried an aftermarket unit. The stereo isn't very loud compared to my old school Pontiac 6000 which had a $14,000 system in it. I'd just like to know if I am screwed with the factory unit. Plus, anyone know if there is room in the doors to hide low heat amps? I like the old school Carver amps that put out almost no heat and don't need cooled. I am sure I wouldn't have a heat problem if they were confined to the doors. Sub amps I know I would have to modify the rear gate panel to tuck them in there. Anyone ever try to tear the 3rd row seats out and make a cabinet on the frame to fold flat for when you really need the extra cargo room? Or am I thinking too crazy? I think an open air amp could be done like that. Any help? Thanks Replies to this message: akirby (Jan 15, 2008 12:18 pm) 08navigator (Jan 16, 2008 9:55 pm) akirby (Jan 17, 2008 5:56 am)

Replying to: 08navigator (Jan 15, 2008 12:06 pm) You'd be hard pressed to get a better sounding aftermarket setup. Louder? Sure, but the THX has been specifically tuned for that vehicle and has more than enough power for accurate reproduction.   That said, I doubt there are any lineouts on the head unit. The door speaker amps are probably integrated. Just use an amp with speaker level inputs or a converter. Replies to this message: 08navigator (Jan 16, 2008 9:55 pm) akirby (Jan 17, 2008 5:56 am)

Replying to: akirby (Jan 15, 2008 12:18 pm) Hard pressed to get a better sounding aftermarket setup? Maybe not at Best Buy, but there is a lot of better equipment out there . I'm sure, just like your home stereo, this thing is at least 10%THD. I like to stay in the range of .04% as a maximum. This factory system probably only gets to about 100db if you are lucky not to distort it at max volume. I'm looking to get a bit louder, clearer and more range. They do a nice job with the subs for a factory unit, thats why I was thinking they may have pre amped them. Their spots will make a nice mid bass placement. Just need to figure out where to put a couple on 15" subs as well. Anyone know if this thing has Pre Amp Outs? Any way to find a model number or manufacturer?

Replying to: 08navigator (Jan 16, 2008 9:55 pm) No way the THX system is 10% THD. The THX system is custom designed and tuned to each vehicle.   You're obviously looking for loud and that's not what the THX system is about.
