Currently driving Tesla Model 3 for overnight test drive. Volvo dealer says XC40EC delivery expected in the spring, but no news on the pricing. Tesla M3 is a cool car, but the $40K version lacks so many things. Need to spend $50K to get a good car, IMHO. I can get a loaded Leaf SL Plus for...

Volvo XC40 EV announcement in a few weeks. This may just work out for me. I can delay purchase until at least February. Test driving a Tesla Model 3 at noon today.

It's mid September and this thread is the best I can find on USA 2020 Nissan Leaf+. I just sold my 2016 Leaf SL to Carmax. I have 6 more payments on a Volvo lease. I hate buying gas. Dealer wanting to slam me into a leftover 2019 SL+ with discounts up to 4500. This time, I won't settle for...

Nice improvements. It's a better looking vehicle. My 2016 model 100+mile range is noticeably better than my 2013 model's 80 mile range. 150 miles will bring the Leaf to more mainstream drivers. Lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and rear cross traffic alerts are...

I searched Costco on this site and did not find this. I was browsing costco.com site today and noticed the Siemens VersiCharge LVL 2 EVSE for $399.99 after $60 off. I recently paid $499 at Home Depot for the same unit.

Nice. Congratulations. 8-)

Thank you again for your detailed posts. I was wondering whether you were going to use the head unit outputs (Front L+R and Rear L+R.) The Nissan Leaf AV docs show that the AV unit for the non-Bose with Navigation is part number JSNIA3618ZZ and has a 45 watt x 4 amp built in. Curiously, the...

I just broke my driver putting my golf clubs in the cargo area. From now on, they're going in the back seat.

Infinity Kappa 60.11 CS (Component System) is on sale for $245 per pair on Crutchfield and on Infinity Car Audio retail site. The Infinity site says that they will fit and Crutchfield says that they will not fit. There is a mounting height clearance issue with the door panel/grille by a little...

... more bass at lower volumes? I recently ordered the Focal BombA BP20 powered subwoofer to replace the Bose. It's on back order. I will give you an update once it is installed and auditioned. It should provide the thump you're looking for.

Thank you for sharing. Nice install. I was curious about those Focal speakers.

I assume that you considered a front center channel. Did you come up with any solutions?

I think you're right DeudeMann. For processing, TwK88 would be the best option. I am anxious to see your results. I believe that much of my issues with my sound system could be corrected with sound deadening. I get too much unclear midbass vibration from the front speaker area on many songs...

I'm really hating on you, now DeudeMann. You just couldn't let sleeping dogs lie, could you. Now I can't stop thinking about upgrading my Leaf Bose audio. This is going to cost me a couple grand, I'm so very sure. Here's my wishlist: 1. Focal BombA BP20 Powered Subwoofer - I already test...

The Audio Control DQ-61 should work well if you use the front and rear, left and right pre-amp outputs from the head unit. You should be able to tap them from the inputs on the Bose amp. The Bose amp has 7 channels of output which is one more than the DQ-61 accepts. Alternatively, you could...
