I like the build breakdown, because we can see the true quality of the worksmanship. I prefer this instead of just showing us the finished product, because there are so much details showing the quality work that you put in those systems.

Hello Peter, firstly I need to thank you for all your great work you present in here. I have been watching you for about two years now and you are such a huge inspiration to me. Though I consider myself as a rather skilled DIYer, all that time I was convinced there is no way I can handle the custom fabrication part (full car sound deadening, A-pillars, front sub enclosure, etc.). Thanks to your detailed instalation work progress videos TODAY I am finaly convinced that I am able to pull that off. I am looking forward to subscribing to your Patreon for even more detailed content. Thanks to you I will definitely save money on the shop work, gain some new fabrication skills and knowledge and more importandly, I will have hell lot more satisfacton and fun from my system knowing I handled it all by myself (apart from the tuning, that I will leave to the professionals). I wish you good luck in both your professional and personal life and hopefully I will be able to shake your hand someday on some European EMMA gathering. Greetings from Czech Republic!👍

Hi Jiri, Thank you for the kind words. You’ll definitely learn a lot from Patreon too, especially if you watch the last 2 years’ worth of content. 😉🔊🔊

[@Levi081]

Loving the pssound magic 🎩 🔊 🔈. The detail in this video of different elements of the installation is 💯 on point.

[@shadowmixx4]

really stylish built. like the solution you have when it comes to building you do

Great stuff guys! I'm preparing myself for part 4.. oh wait, there is no part 4 yet. 😉

[@onewheelup]

a sh!Tload of work peter as always.yea i think he should have just went with a subwoofer enclosure BOX in the trunk with one 18 inch sundown and i think he would be super happy,haha kidding you peter like always,from texas your still the only friend i have on facebook,remember it used to be you and down4sounds,but its just you now haha arent you happy lol ttyl keep your chin up

[@jamband4230]

So you left the rear factory 8” subs in the rear dash? Wouldn’t they act like a passive radiator? When the IB sub hits wouldnt it move those cones creating a funny secondary bass hit? Did you seal them up? Did you concider cutting the cones out and allow the pressure wave from the rear to vent out the rear speaker locations? If not why did you choose not to do this? I love the install so far Peter. I’m not criticizing you I’m just trying to understand your logic behind this decision. Thanks for the video I can’t wait for the next one. Your thumbnail really got me. I thought you lost your everloving infinite baffling mind! Lolol

[@pssound9749]

I think you missed in the video when I explained that the whole parcel shelf is sealed with deadening, so there is a barrier under that 8” OEM speaker, so it doesn’t effect anything anymore.

[@jamband4230]

@@pssound9749 I’ll have to go back and rewatch that video. Sometimes I get distracted when watching these videos. Great job though. Carry on

[@gradycrislerjr40]

This might be the answer . I ask awhile ago about mounting subs in trunk floor vs across back seat I have a 2011 cadillac cts v coupe I plan on mounting 2 18s fi I want to go for 4 18s I admit I'm a bass head but you can hear words also I love how deep infinite baffle plays especially with an epicenter to make any song play low

[@chriscuthbertson]

Could you have poured resin or another casting medium into the bottom of the spare wheel well to form a level surface to fit the wooden baffle to?

[@pssound9749]

I mentioned in the video that there are many options. No matter how you do it, just make it rigid to stop any flexing.

[@scottc784]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@jackvargasarteaga2599]

Nice job !! … one cuestion all the sistem is a Factory Battery ?

[@pssound9749]

We got a new AGM battery for it, which will suffice. It’s fairly big, 92Ah.

[@RajunCajun1]

What are you using to protect the subwoofer from the water outside of the car?

[@chrismuncey6023]

How do u protect the sub from the elements or is this a show quality car that doesn't see rain or snow. I have always wanted to know this about a true ib setup..?

[@pssound9749]

There are videos showing that in the “True-IB” playlist on the channel.

[@drivelogic3841]

Hey perter, I have a lot of people saying you don't want rear speakers and front center speaker when setting up 3way system. Their take is the having a front center speaker will mess up front dash imaging. Also having a rear fill from rear speaker will also mess up front end stage. Is this true? or this is from people who cannot tune their system correctly. Thank you.

[@pssound9749]

Bit of both. Centrefill is not needed for a fully active 3 way setup, that is for sure, but can have benefits for 2seat tune or if the mids are in horrible locations and the stage height needs lifting. If people learn the difference between running rearfill normal or differential, then they realise that the later doesn’t mass up the front-end at all.

[@drivelogic3841]

@@pssound9749 thank you for the insight ~!

[@monsterg4603]

how much would a setup like this cost with hardware and labour? which country are you in?

[@pssound9749]

This system is around £12k here in UK, but it depends on the shop and what they charge. Well, if they can deliver an install like this. 😃

[@faiqnovruzov9752]

Best 2 way and best 3 way audio components ?

[@pssound9749]

There is no such thing, impossible to answer! Please watch the Sound Quality in Cars playlist and watch PART 7.1-7.3 about speaker installation, then you’ll see what really gives you the best sound in a car. 👍🔊🔊

[@pepper-a8144]

Why you don’t use helix p-two for sub ?

[@pssound9749]

1. Doesn’t have as much power on 4ohm for 2 separate subs. 2. We had these amps on the shelves.

[@jackychan4960]

Hellow i have the same car mercedes but mine is cabrio clk w209 320cdi how much cost to make the same ipmiant audio in my car? Im from milano, in how many day finished this work because i need to know how many day i need to remain in salisburg.

[@pssound9749]

This was a very labour intensive projects. We’d need the car for 2weeks minimum and ~ £12-13k for equipment, materials and labour built to similar levels.

[@ΓιάννηςΧαϊμαντός-ζ5ν]

This specific project how much did it cost including the installation and the materials?

[@thurmanmerman9099]

probably over 8k with all that labour, i think it's a waste of money
