Here is a direct link to the ACM options in ForScan:
I'm in the process of upgrading speakers/sub in the B&O system, because it just wasn't cutting it for me at high volumes and lots of road noise from all the gear I've added to the roof rack and pakrax.
I've added a Kicker Comp R 8" into the B&O enclosure, connected through a Key 500.1. This sounds pretty nice at this point, I don't think there's anything else I need to do here.
I swapped Focal ACX 100's to the rear 4". I barely hear them, so first question is whether any adjustments can be made in ForScan to improve the outputs of these guys. I've seen a lot of discussion on BASE systems, but can't find a definitive answer on what happens with the B&O. My guess is that since B&O uses a DSP, the setting folks have changed on BASE will be the same as what I would see in the default position.
In the front, I am attempting to run Memphis Audio VIV603CV2 6.5" Six Five Series 3-Way Component Speakers. That's a 6.5" in the kickers, 3.5" in the dash, and an extra tweeter I need to mount somewhere. However, i'm having an issue where the kicker won't come on until volumes are raised around the mid 20's, and then it will work like normal until the vehicle is off. I'm curious if this is because the speaker is 2ohm, or if it's a matter of insufficient power delivery. Second question is whether any adjustments can be made in ForScan to bypass the DSP for these particular speakers, opening up their range or overriding whatever is the cause for the speakers to not come alive at initial low volumes.
I have a feeling it's a no-go for both, and I need to continue searching for speakers that work with the DSP's leveling - or wire in an amp and do whatever is needed to avoid a conflict with the DSP. But please chime in if you have more knowledge on this to share. Thank you!
