    I did an F-150 in like 2014 and just grabbed the signal from the front (whichever) speaker, and fed it into the customer's Zapco processor. Worked well.
    But if the Amp-Pro4 works, do it.

    Unfortunately that AP4 does not work with the Flex. I heard back from them this morning.

    Well I have ruled out the 15s - I don't believe there is a way to use them in a proper size box while keeping all seats and mobility functional. Probably going to follow in the footsteps of Lanson and try my hand at fiberglassing an enclosure into the spare tire well.

    Tonight I installed LED switchback turn signals. These cars have 4 turn signal bulbs up front due to the shape of the grille/headlights, and I had a set of bulbs from the Taurus, so I had to order more. They are from the same company but are slightly different as there was at least 6 months between the purchases, giving them a sequential look. I'm OK with this.





    I plan to start driving for Uber and Lyft again, so arriving tomorrow are a pair of dash cams and LED bulbs for the interior. From there I will be liquid wrapping the grille, headlight trim, lower grille, fog light shrouds, door handles, chrome trim loop around the whole car, and the large ugly silver thing on the back. It will all either be black or a very dark, pearl grey. That's coming up in a couple weeks.

    Wrapped the hood emblem, upper and lower grilles, handles, trim, and lift gate panel. Raail AirWrap Jet Black base with Frozen Grey pearl over the top, which are the same colors as the Taurus - in fact, we used leftovers from the Taurus project. Also decided to vent the BOVs to atmosphere, so I now get a nice pssshhh sound occasionally







    Combined my nerdy side with the car guy side and got this too:

    Passed 3k driven by me, total of 118k on the clock. Man, this thing is fun! The twin turbo V6 just GOES for a big wagon. Most definitely not something you'd expect from a Flex.

    Anyway, I got around to building a box for it this weekend! Total cost - $58. Single 4'x8' Birch ply sheet, wood glue, and screws. Cranked it out with assistance from my dad in about an hour. 3.8 cubes tuned to 33. I'm not sure what I'm going to do to finish it right now, but I'm planning on putting quick disconnects for the speaker wiring (maybe just bolts with wing nuts) and handles on it to make it easier to remove for when I need the storage space. Sub is from the Taurus - a single Shok Triton 15. Might use the same amp from the Taurus, but it's a little low on power.

    Make sure to tether down that missile, in case of an accident

    Yeah I'm still working on how to accomplish that effectively.
