Same here. Should be shipping in a couple of weeks.

Kinda was hoping that they would change out the rear seat ones too and the dash midrange. Still considering how good the original system sounded this should be a nice improvement

I paid for the upgrade last week since I have the System 400 already - no instructions or correspondence as of yet, even after sending an inquiry. Im supposed to send my processor back to be adjusted (shipping on their dime), but have no info on how to do so. I am assuming they will email a prepaid mailing label, or perhaps send the new speakers along with/in packaging meant to ship them the processor.

Dunno yet. #whypreorder?

That's the point! You're not supposed to be able to tell that the sound is coming from the speaker. What matters is that you get all the frequencies playing at the right part/focus of the sound stage.

Guys don't even bother with looking at 'reference' setups if you don't understand the basics.

My reference speakers/wiring shipped yesterday and will arrive on the 12th, but still no communication on sending back the processor, which leads me to believe some sort of label will be included in the package, which means the time from upgrade purchase to actually being able to complete the install will be something like 3-4 weeks.

If they are shipping components maybe the complete system will ship as well, hoping
I order Friday August 30th, my CC was charged on September 4th

Just received the package for the upgrade and it includes a prepaid package to ship the amplifier for recalibration and front 3.5" woofer back to get the connector installed to the bypass umbilical cable.

PSA: I received the "upgrade" for the reference series and it came with no instructions, two 6.5" speakers, and two empty boxes. I spoke with Sandy at OEM audio+ who asked me pack my (2) front 3.5" speakers and DSP amplifier in the empty box with a divider, and pack it into the prepaid USPS box and ship it to them for reprogramming.

"Once we receive your parts, we will re-flash the amplifier and transfer the speaker connectors from your stock speakers to the new umbilical cable. Both the amplifiers and the speakers will be shipped back to you with the new umbilical cable. "

Hope this clears up any confusion for people receiving their packages.

edit: I packaged the DSP amp with the sub amp since it was a botch to separate and seemed to fit snuggly with the speakers (which i wrapped in paper towels and put in a plastic bag)

So the dash mid-bass is retained in the reference system?

Talking to Daniel, the mid speakers do need to be sent with the amp. Video will be fixed shortly.

That's good news.

tonystewart · 09-10-2013, 09:20 PM

I wonder what that means for the complete system
