I'm not a writer so please forgive me. I'd like to lay out my review of my OEM Audio Plus system. I have a 23 Gladiator that came with the so-called Alpine system. I replaced it with the OEM Audio Plus Signature Series. First thing. My inverter module did not fit the way they showed and described in the video that I did watch closely before making my purchasing decision. Secondly. They sent me some Hokie series of still shot photos with some even worse music in the background showing me how to flatten the bracket and fit my inverter. Problem is my inverter is also different than what was in that demonstration as well.
Then after I re-engineered away to mount my inverter. This included a lot of thought. And frustration. Full disclosure I lashed out at the company. I had a sincere apology for them but it did not seem to help their attitude toward me at that point. I'm not the one that misled somebody about merchandise and how it's going to seamlessly fit into my vehicle.
So I finally got it all mounted and you guessed it. It didn't work. To their credit they did troubleshoot it and send me an amplifier. Voila it's working. I was very disappointed with the sound at first. But to be honest my input was likely a good part of the problem. Full disclosure. It sounds great. But maybe not $2,600 worth of great. So when I contacted the company to ask him with help with retuning or maybe to even answer some questions about my inputs. You guessed it, I was ghosted. I'm stuck with and I'm overall okay with the way it sounds. But the company showed their true colors when someone like me challenged them and lost my temper a little bit. I seem to be the only one man enough to come correct. OEM Audio Plus never even offered me an apology for the trouble I was having. Much less a discount to compensate me for re-engineering parts to work the way they should have done. That is what I paid for. They were complete butt heads about the fact that I had the engineer my inverter install myself, A
and alter my vehicle to do so. Enough said. But if I had it to do over again I'd probably put kicker components in my vehicle.
