LC Audio Upgrades

[96spec]

Thought I would give an update on this thread. After playing around with the Audisons I kept struggling to get to a sound that I liked across all music - suspect its likely the tweeter design and possibly the speaker might not lend itself to a dash position facing up at the windscreen - they were just too bright and the highs too harsh for my liking - they sound great at first but tiring to listen to for longer periods.

So I have switched back to Musway - these CSM42X had been the original plan before the Audison but they couldnt be mounted on top due to the dimensions which is why I went with the Audisons. These Musways are meant for MB OEM upgrade so require a little modification - the nice thing is they dont feature spade connectors so you have a nice little plug to use.

Anyway - more patience on my behalf and a little learning on the joys of 3D builder and printing for some custom adapters along with some rivnuts and washers for the mounting holes and these have been in for a while now.

These are definitely more musical and much smoother to listen to - they are not as physically as deep as the Audisons. They have silk dome tweeter which general consensus seems to be that it will offer smoother highs. Really happy with the sound and install is now much cleaner, the CSMs fit snug into the adapter then the adapter is mounted under rather than on top of the factory mount and the result is the speaker is mounted the same position to the grill as the OEM.

Please is it possible to de-activate ANC (active noise control) same way on Mark Levinson oem amp like on Pioneer amp - only disconnect middle connector?

I don't see why that shouldn't work. I believe from the manuals I reviewed there much of the loom is common between ML and non ML. Also the plugs on both amps are the same so you should just  need to disconnect it. I did not have any problems with it disconnected.
