Personally if you are trying to chase anything like the Accuton sound, shy away from Morel - far too laid back for my taste. I would look at BLAM Multix, Focal Utopia, Bliesma before Morel
High level is tapped from the speaker outputs from the amp in rear left quarter panel in the trunk. But daily source is a digital - iPhone to SMSL PO100 to optical to DSP.
Olá gostei do vídeo muito legal 😎 gostei muito mas tem duas ou três coisas que nao me caiu bem uma foi esta colunas fora do normal não ficou bom tenho certeza pq falo não tem direcionamentos e outra foi este subwoofer no pé acredito ser horrivel para qualidade refinada é outro nível este esta fora Parece não ter um processador seria ideal um melhora muito o som com ele ok Tenho um mk7 manual e estou com um som bem interessante kits de 3 vias hertz e de 2 vias hertz 2 subwoofer 10wv3-4 um amplificador jl audio rd500/1 + amplificador hertz de 4 canais e um processador Hertz Dsp s8 cavos connection em todos sentidos mantas nas 5 portas e na malas personalizado esta uma qualidade muito boa limpo sem chiados Só não curti muita a multimídia Aikon Proton 4g 4gb ram 64gb kkkkk
That front sub caught me by surprise, wish I could hear it in person, I own a 7.5 R and I'm definitely close to jumping on the front sub wagon, with such low profile ideas being shown, I'd also be happy to sacrifice my glove box compartment for the right looking one, I'll never be a passenger in my own car but I feel like the glove compartment is under utilised in many front sub builds, although it does look very difficult for someone who's never fabricated anything in with fibreglass or milkshake or anything, hell I can barely throw together a sub box making straight cuts hahaha. Although it's totally different materials and tools, I suck with saws but I'm good with symmetry and sanding so who knows. Great work on the sub front sub though, love the stealth look fabric was a great match on the cover and box too. 😊
Cool video, congratulations! A “conceptual doubt”... Will the most advanced speaker from a brand always have a greater probability of being able to play all existing musical genres well? Asked another way... If I take the most advanced high-end speaker from any brand (Focal or Morel or Brax or Blam or Audison etc.) that speaker, because it has a much higher quality, will tend to achieve satisfactorily play “any” musical genre? Generally a speaker that is good for playing Hip Hop is not good for playing Jazz. But with technological advances, is there a speaker that is so advanced that it plays “any musical genre” well? Does this speaker already exist or remains a utopia?
@lukeouellet What types of sleeves are those on the midbass wiring spade speaker terminals? Also, I see you used a cable grommet for the cables running through your center console. Do you mind sharing what kind you used/where you found them?
Awesome work my friend. I’m currently doing a similar build here in Australia but I’ve had to go with speaker pods for my 3 way setup as I’m running 3” helix mids. I’m also using high level input into my helix M4. Would love to use digital but I also love using my music apps on the main screen which you would have to use your phone for with the smsl po100 correct?
Im golf 7.5 most 150 integrated so full digital all factory functions sound and phone retained, you can use most interface even if you didn't have premium stereo option from factory but Australia where the original comment you replied to person is from, we got dynaudio not fender, dynaudio makes the fender system look like total trash, but same amp and sub enclosure is used but we get real dynaudio tweeters and door drivers albeit with the usual oem plastic baskets. I haven't and won't swap them out I've kept them running and just got full active front and rear on all the oem dyn stuff actually sounds bloody awesome those factory dyn speakers can play Loud af on clean power, I've got two JL Audio HD 600.4 which can do 150WRMS at any impedance from 1 or 1.5 to 8 ohms. HD 1200.1 & JL 13w7 in a 58 litre sealed birch ply enclosure (for now). I went sealed cos I stuffed the box cuts up so didn't have enough material left to do a slot port and didn't want the other sort. I'm going to pay someone else to build a ported box that integrates into the false floor, I brought a spare false floor lid to cut out the centre to allow it through so the box doesn't look so massive in the back but might not end up that way still not sure. I personally wanted to keep my system as modular and plug and play as possible so I got a wire diagram from a vw forum, then found a wire harness with make and female plugs that fit the oem amp harness all pre made cut it in half and soldered and heat shrunk all wiring using the beautiful numbered pin out spreadsheet someone else made was based on the fender system actually which uses dual stupid dual 4 or 2 ohm voice coils for the door woofers with a final impedance of 2ohms the dynaudios are 4 ohms for all speakers, think the fender tweeters are 4 ohm can't remember. Anyway so for the dynaudio version I just didn't end up using as many of the wires and all unused wires were depined from the harness then plugged into the OEM 38 locking connector under the seat where the amp is situated, from the wire harness I brought I got a 12 volt power and ground (this comes in handy in a minut) and all speaker wires as a super convenient location and ran roughly 4 lots of roughly 3 metre, 4 core speaker wire runs to the back where the Amps are presto all the wiring I need for full active, until now cos I'm about to go from oem speakers to oem woofers and kicker pods scewed into A piller trims I got from a wreckers, made sure I had spares as I wasn't wrecking nothing oem unless it was a spare from the wreckers, glad I felt like that because they are 540 Aus dollars for a piller trims including the dynaudio tweeters no thanks, I picked up a full set of dynaudio ones for 150 was wrapped. Anyway to grab the most 150 optical signal I used a nav TV Zen V mine was a rebranded one from a great Australian company here in Melbourne with 2 lovely guys I met in person when I picked it up, they have pretty substantial US ties and support I believe too, the company is called Mobridge they have been around a long time and are taking over the Nav TV Zen range of products nav TV is getting out of it soon I heard anyway not sure if they have already or not, auduotech Fischer also do their own helix branded nav TV Zen V it's all the same box with same features just different brands have obviously given nav money to bang their logo on it. The most interface box is pretty expensive and will be about a grand US and is almost 1700 Australian bucks. Gotta pay to play though, gives you a perfectly clean 5v preout without any of the factory dsp nonsense which to be fair was pretty impressive for what it was and the tiny little amp running 10 channels on 12 guage wire pumping out around 400 real watts or something. So the answer is no you don't need to cut anything if you don't want, if you're car didn't come with premium audio then is some ways it's easier some a few more steps, the most interface actually gets more expensive if you're not premium from the factory becuse you need to flash something using an obd tool to trick the MIB unit and most bus into thinking it did come with premium audio and that activates the MOST optical output at tbe back of the Mib unit in the glove box. The most interface comes with its own short optical cable so if you didn't come with premium mount it behind the Mib behind the glove compartment and use power for the appropriate wires from the back for the Mib unit, your amp remote turn on is also supplied by the interface unit and you have several choices of how to use the system, you can run all rcas and maintain full fader controls and sub control straight from the car stereo, or you can grab a 4 meter toslink and run that all the way to a dsp in the back then out the dsp into amps and stuff. They all turn on from the remote wire of the MOST interface, although they recommend using a relay for more than one amp, I'm running 3 no drama I measured their current draw for the turn on signal and was barely a few milliamps but not all amps may be the same and it has a maximum of 500 milliamps output so take their advice if in doubt cos that's way to expensive to be playing guessing games lol. This type of unit is the only way to integrate into a MOST 150 bus and this is the only one (including the rebranded ones obviously as they are the exact same thing) I'd trust to do the job, although I have seen them on AliExpress for 350 Australian bucks if I had bugger all money id be lying if I wouldn't try it if I had the rest of the stuff I needed but couldn't afford to drop near 2 grand on the one I have 😂 the Chinese are amazing at copying shit these days, hell I shop AliExpress for oem parts for our cars it's cheaper than the dealer and they are legit oem with parts numbers and all.
And what apps on which screen bud, if you have the golf 8 with wireless car play you will get lossless audio basically or wired it's lossless for the golf 7.5. Although phone over Bluetooth isn't bad either, it's AAC codec which is not hd or lossless but far superior to the older SBC format lol. Also the factory stereo is more than happy to run my 1TB samsung T7 SSD Drive and can any and every file I throw at it including music videos downloaded from RU-vid if I want, as long as the resolution is not more than DVD so 480p roughly even though it's more like 520 by the old standards 480 was the American NTSC from the analogue days pretty sure.
Looks great! As i said on FB those front subs turned out awesome IMO and those pillars, im kind of diggin them in a way. Thats one thing ive been stuck on is having to much in the way with putting a tweet and a mid there. Anyways, love the build and always love learning & hearing your thoughts and seeing your work! Lookin forward to the next video sir!
A thing of beauty!!!! Is this all on the stock battery/alternator? Forgive me if the question is ignorant, but I don't know car audio that well, but I want to add a system to my 2023 silverado 1500 5.3. Everyone keeps telling me to upgrade the alternator if I want more than a 1000 watt amp.
All those people telling your need an alternator for 1000 watts on a stock 86ah AGM and 170 amp alt are.....not educated. 3300 watts here, nearly half of that on AB power, no issues, no dimming, nothing. All stock electrical.
@@lukeouellet I really appreciate and admire the detail and technique of your installs. Very awesome, keep it going! I have a question regarding the MK3 DSP. Can you give a brief explanation of how to run the front sub from the helix? Thanks.
I would love to hear this in person few questions as I have a 19 Denali 1500 1 with your master volume knob how do you start your truck as I always get a no key fob detect and I have to place it in that area? Also how did you get wireless CarPlay on your phone?
Hey there - you should replace the battery in your key fob, just did that last month with mine, took 2 min and never have that issue again. Wireless CarPlay started in the GMC trucks in 2021 :/
Ok thanks I did the battery change last week and still same issue not sure I will call the dealer and for the CarPlay that’s too bad for me looks like I need an adapter any suggestions?
Ever since I got my Fiio DAP, I think I use my Topping maybe once every 3 months. But I do know the Chord DAC is nice from my headphone days, just don’t need it here in this application with my Fiio and Brax
Amazing job man. The is one beautiful system. But I have a question for you. I have a 20 Sierra with Bose system. How did you get the signal from the factory radio. Did you go straight to the dsp from the radio or stock amp. Or did you used module like nav-tv. Thank you for your time. And ones again great job man.
I sent you a FB request! I am trying to get the details on the Aux power for tuning and Shows! I know about the Anderson Connectors just need solid info on power supply and connections to not destroy my 20 Camry XSE wiring! ja ja ja ja Semper Fi and Can Do OORAH
Such a nice build. Very jelouse!!! Im thinking of buying gb subs and its either those or JL w6. What would u say? Gonna be doing a ported box with 10s just because of music preference. Really on the fence on the subs. Top noth build you have!
@lukeouellet it ill be either gb10 ported or w6 ported. I know their both well make, respected drivers. Just asking because they are cheap! Thanks bud. And wow on those accuton mids and highs. 8s in the door and a front sub to boot? Jeeeesh!

Beautiful build. I have a 2024 Sierra 1500. My old SQ system won awards and was 3 way up front Hybrid Audio L8se , L4se , L1v2 . 8 are vented to outside of the vehicle in custom kicks, 3 JL modified HD amps going into Mosconi 6to8pro and 13w7 in box tuned to 34hz so sub plays 20 to 40hz , 8s played 40hz to 200hz and 4inch played 200hz to 10k and tweeters played 10k up. I had custom A pillars ect but now with this new 13.4 screen and Bose system It sounds great and Idk if I want to just add a sub or go all out like us SQ MECA and Iascca guys go lol haha. You did an amazing job and the quality looks top notch. Scott Welch is your man for tuning if your in California. I love the Mosconi amps but they are just huge but worth it. I tell people all the time its less about equipments and more about speakers location and tuning but love your system and would love to hear it. Thanks for posting
Thanks for the replay man! Sounds like you have been around the block for sure. I'm about to swap to IB or sealed kicks this winter and maybe an IB sub this summer. Location and installation are 100% king, agreed. Scott's a great guy and I got to meet him this past summer at SVR and he gave some very high remarks on my truck when he judged it. I'm in Maine but have access to Nick Apicella who is a very, very reputable tuner and good friend. Let me know what you end up doing in your build
I seen your build on DIyma. Who did you have build your 6x9 to 8 adapters? Do you think a JL zr800 8 will fit in the front doors? Or a Hybrid Audio L8se? depth wise @@lukeouellet
Hi. Love seeing people continue to strive for greatness. I have installed professionally in the 90s-2000s and I love seeing the detail and quality. I’m just beginning my 2021 Silverado RST. Would love to ask you a few questions if you wouldn’t mind. Love seeing this type of work!
So my last build was my first with an active 3 way setup and DSP. I used a JL Twk 88 and worked fairly well. Now that I am locked into the OEM GM Bose I need something more substantial. I have been looking at the Helix 10 channel and the Mosconi 8 to 12 Pro DSP. My question is what are your thoughts on both units and how safe is it to buy a Helix on EBay? Is the DSP the only unit I need to integrate the OEM? I appreciate any help you can offer! Thank you!
I guess I will tell you what I am installing. 3 way Dynaudio Esotec fronts and 2 way rears. 2 JL Flat 10’s. 2 JL HD600/4’s and HD750/1. I was also thinking about adding either an Android tablet or IPad. Figured I would tell you the whole story. Thanks again.
@@philkoberg1461 hey man sorry it took me so long to repsond! I am huge Helix fan as their reliability, customer (and community) support is second to none. Assuming that you are running the rears on a passive crossover, then the DSP Pro mk3 is the perfect choice, the Conductor controller is also by and far the easiest remote to use and mount. The Mosconi Aerospace 8/12 with the new software is also solid as well, last recommendation would also Arc Audio PS8 Pro. Otherwise, you have a great system laid out.
Awesome set up and nice gear too! Just started SQ build on my 2020 Camry XSE and Its a slow long process! I might have to get the Helix processor cause the stock radio sucks and all the climate and data is in it!!! Sigh Semper Fi and Can Do
