M2 Freightliner Question

• The SportChassis passive noise reduction system utilizing Dynamat® makes it easy to have a conversation or a phone call without raising your voice.

This sounds good to me....

Yes, and on top of that I actually added a Hood Liner under the cab which was easy to do on the 4-Door Cab, under the hood and firewall, and extra in all the doors as well...MUCH quieter and also better insulated...

I also added an Exhaust Blanket from MIT in Houston and that reduced even more noise an heat from the exhaust system to the cab...it was about $700...but worth it to keep cab cool and noise out...

JBL full range/tweeter coaxial speakers, dual voice coil subwoofer, and a high-efficiency, high-performing 4-channel DSP amplifier, all “TUNED” by an Harman Acoustic Systems Engineer specifically for the Freightliner M2

Dynamax does not sell direct, so it would have to be through your dealer. Once I get a part number for the kit I will pass it on here.

Just bumping this one back up to the top to see if there were any updates on availability.

Thanks!

[bclemens]

It is now on the 2020 price sheet as an option.

As for availability, you should be able to order everything that we get through a dealer, parts wise.

[mookieblaylock]

Thanks, Brian. I'll follow-up with our dealer to get the details.

[mookieblaylock]

Any chance you could post the part number? The parts dept can't look it up without a part number, and they can't get a part number using my VIN since it wasn't available on the 2018 models. And I guess it was too much to ask for the parts desk to check with the sales desk to get the part number off the 2020MY options price sheet...<sigh>

[bclemens]

ugh, well, I didn't think about them not having a part number yet. We get it from the vendor as a kit. So I guess I need to do a little digging to see if we add any wiring etc to make that kit work or if it is turn-key.

Parts is typically set up to do...well...parts. So they might have a speaker, a sub or the amp...but not necessarily an "upgrade kit", we're just not set up that way. But I'll see what the best route is.

[mookieblaylock]

Again, thanks.

[bclemens]

Well, this is a mixed back.

The vendor part number is 185JBLFLM2KT08 (should be able to source by that, but I have asked parts to maybe kit that)

Included is Harman DSP 4 channel amp
JBL Sub designed to fit in the center section just under the dash
JBL 5.25" Door speakers.

The issue is going to be wiring. We get the Kenwood harness, one for one. We send that over to River Park and they modify that to work with the M2 harness which picks up the amp and properly wires everything up.

So our kit would only include the parts. It would not be a plug and play set up. While I might be able to get a wiring diagram from River Park, it looks like you'll have to hand wire everything.

The kit lists (2) harnesses, but I'm not sure if those are extra or are the re-wire of the existing harness. Might be easier to order it on a new coach

[mookieblaylock]

Thanks for the detailed info...gives me something to go by at least. I don't mind figuring out the wiring myself.

I'd be happy to...the original brochure you posted back on page one did show a Cascadia option. Back in your court, sir

[Graphicaccents]

Thanks for the info Brian, I see they have door speakers, do they have door panels to accommodate the speakers also?

[bclemens]

As far as I know, they fit in the stock location.

[halla]

Per the brochure on Page 1, it looks like Dash speakers and a sub, not door speakers.

[bclemens]

That's what I get for not reading my own material. Yes, dash speakers with the mid and tweeter (they call that 2 speakers)
