Cheap Sound Quality Car PART 7 - Midrange Speaker Installation

[@stevenlowth1106]

Incredible workmanship

[@peterkaptenolsson8957]

Well i guess i have to rip my dash out now :D Awesome work you guys.

[@kcg7861]

Man watching this makes me want to do this to my Dash I'm not as skilled as you two holes in there that I cannot do but the sound dampening I can definitely do so great idea I do notice when I accelerate there is some vibration probably going to do the same thing as you is put the phone in there

[@andreimerisanu9995]

Amazing video Peter, Thank you. You've inspired me to actually try and fit my CDM700 midranges in the dash of my 6th Gen Camaro.

[@sainath8710]

Hi, here in India this Maruti swift is famous car. For removing dashboard in a easy way we have to remove the dashboard with the bar by disconnect the wiring couplers on the both side after then we access all screws and components easily….

Hi from Slovenia, when's a new video of the Suzuki coming out? I'm thinking of doing something similar to my Suzuki with Lojze! But taking the dash out seems awfully fiddly.. would A-pillar build work just as good?

[@khunigan]

I love watching somebody else contort their body under a dash. Not me! 😆😆😂 And I'm 5'10 265lbs. 😲😲

[@daveb1963]

Im assuming it would have been alot easier with windscreen removed....great build seeing you in action.

[@pssound9749]

Only issue is that you can not just cut without taking the dash out. How do you know what’s underneath? How can you deaden the dashboard to get rid of buzzes?

[@ccvideotech]

Great work! Great series!

[@uzyhimolichi3442]

Did you mount 2 Focal subwoofers under the front seats in the ib?

[@pssound9749]

No we didn’t.

[@gonzoe123]

Would you do something similar with a midbass? Mount a midbass in the dash (maybe lose the defrost vent), and a wideband in the pillars? Or would you require enclosures?

[@pssound9749]

Midbass up on the dash has no cabin gain under 100/120Hz and no authority as a kickbass, no matter what application you use, so be mindful of that.

[@gonzoe123]

@@pssound9749 I forgot to mention that there will also be an 8” front sub

[@gonzoe123]

@@pssound9749 okay, I have decided that I will be doing a trunk baffle with 2 Dayton UM15-22’s, Dayton Reference “6inch” in the dash corners (custom), and Dayton Reference 1-1/8” tweeters (pillar build). The amps used are Audiocontrol D6.1200 & LC1.800. I am undecided if I should do an 8” front sub bridged off of channels 5&6 (easier), or 6”-8” kick pods stereo channels 5&6? I am not experienced with fiberglass and IB requires more cutting than I am willing to make at this time? Expected potential FR is 60-80hz to 120-200hz, depending on what the 6”’s can do in the car.

[@jackdaniel9547]

Peter as always your built is awesome…….. waiting for final run . I wonder what plug did you use to terminate the speaker cables it looks very clean

[@pssound9749]

Just spade crimps and ferrules on the tweeters.

[@juanmarcosloperaherruzo6284]

Hi Peter, I have a question for you! What frequency will you use to HP the midrange in that almost "free air" location? Thanks for all the knowledge you give for free!!

[@pssound9749]

Where you want to apply HPF depends on the midbass response too. These 4”s have functional response from 125Hz, some 3” like Micro Precision would play from 160Hz-ish, but you may want to cross both options bit higher with LR24 if you like it screaming loud

[@ealneas1]

I would like to do this to my a7 😁

[@umtbozkr2358]

Looking good Peter. It draw my attention that you use more often Steg driver’s lately since the Audi A7 video; going back to the roots? I remember you mentioned in a comment that you used Steg in the past.

[@pssound9749]

In the A7 those speakers were purchased by the owner from Europe, we had nothing to do with that, just the tuning part. This time we truly go through more of their products and get familiar with what’s available to be able to give a wider choice to customers. 🔊🔊

[@umtbozkr2358]

@@pssound9749 yes I know Peter, the owner showed the models what he purchased. I remember you mentioned that Steg wasn’t sold in the UK in that video. Is there now a distributor in the UK? I purchase Steg directly from the German distributor to the Netherlands. As a business owner (non retail price) they are quite good quality for the price! But as always; installation and tuning are the deal makers or breakers. I am very keen on seeing/hearing the end result. Succes to both of you 👍

[@pssound9749]

It looks like now there is a distributor of the brand in UK, it’ll be public soon! 😉🤫😃

[@eugeniobenitez2067]

Hi Sir! What is the bandwidth frec respond for the mss3 in the custom dash? Thanks

[@pssound9749]

120-12000Hz is the functional range depending on target curve.

[@eugeniobenitez2067]

@@pssound9749 l mean what crossovers points/slopes you finally got for the MSS3 in that dash location firing up the glass?

[@PeteSHLeong]

any particular reason of having the tweeter installed off axis?

[@pssound9749]

Yes, it took 5 mins! 😃 You didn’t listen to what i mentioned in the video, did you? 😃

[@PeteSHLeong]

@@pssound9749 my bad, i didn't watch till very end. 😃 now i know.

[@chriscuthbertson]

Wound the air vents on the front of the dash have been a useable place to mount the midrange if you didn't want to remove the dash or would they have been to far forwards towards the listening position? The tweeters in the sail panels would have been pretty close to them.

[@gonzoe123]

I did that with a Mazda 6 and some super tweeters. It sounded really good for a basic system, no DSP or EQ. All the air still came out the middle vents fine. Hot and cold worked fine.

[@aaronwhitehead6015]

Awesome

[@hificonnectin567]

Wont this location damage the driver as its exposed to direct sunlight and heat? The voice coil can be damaged due to this heat esp while its playing.

[@mohammedumar6556]

Good Question, I was thinking about that myself !!!

[@pssound9749]

There are quite few cars with midrange speakers on the dash. If you live in Arizona, then you may need a speaker cloth above it.

[@89grand]

@@pssound9749 I live in Phoenix Arizona, one of the hottest places on earth in the summer, and car dash speakers, even stock ones last for many years. Most of us just use windshield shades in the summer when the car is parked for any real length of time in the sun.

[@pssound9749]

@@89grand thank you for your real life feedback! I’ve never been over there, but it’s rather hot there, isn’t it? 😃

[@chielwesselman5457]

With a dash like this it would be easier to sound proof the engine bay! Because a engine is out quite quickly! 😅

[@pssound9749]

I’ll let you do that! 😃

How can I contact you? I have some IB questions that you seem just the guy to answer.

You can ask it here too. 👍

@@pssound9749 I just installed a ib318 in a blow through last night. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be listening for in terms of hurting the sub. It's on around 500 RMS. How did you break in your Fi subs and how much power have they seen? Cross at 65hz safe? 80hz? I'm terrified of this thing 🤣 never played with an IB arrangement before.

[@asdfasdfasdfae]

Why, just why. the labor alone is probably half the price of this car. At that point, might as well just this car and get ones that have more easier to build SQ upgrade.

[@pssound9749]

Because labour didn’t add cost for me and wife needed a cheap car. Would u buy an expensive car for her to bang it up?? 😃
