[@purplehills56]

yessssss want to see this audio system built

[@13lackside]

I just wanted to share a possible solution for the small items you hold up at times that don't focus. If you lay your hand behind the item it will have a better chance of focusing on your hand specifically your palm. That will in turn make the item more visible because it focused on your palm. Keep the great content flowing!

Thats why mickey is an OG MOBB DEEP HELL ON EARTH IS HIM

[@Kevin-vg4hu]

is there a video for the speaker wiring set up?

[@shaneWARs1]

This is definitely the guy we all wish we could buy a used car from ..

[@sherwaynebadbreed5483]

A swear we wouldn't even need to check it for mechanical issues

[@mickeyandrade3435]

shane mcinnerny - 🤣

[@gavnott4563]

The rotary sound is the music mick.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Gav Nott - Oh, I’m aware brother.

[@LesterRuz]

You can put a back rear camera 📷 helps a lot, and prevents damage imagine you have a expensive car, it’s just a sugestión, hi from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@jgott1745]

Dude, this is the cleanest/nicest looking head unit I have ever seen. I’m gonna need to work some overtime now...

[@CarPhonix]

J Gott sure is! It’s suuuper nice!

[@Apollo-vh3tb]

'I love it and it's my car so I'm going to do it' Damn straight - do what makes you happy....we are just here to take and appreciate the ride with ya!

[@christianc1562004]

Thanks Mickey for the detail install video. Now I can add a stereo to my FD 👌🏽👏🏽😁

[@Zkahle822156]

Hey Micky, I'm not sure what kind of phone you have but if you have a iphone you are probably gona want to have that USB connector closer to you (maybe in the arm rest) as opposed to the glove box. The app radio 4 comes with apple car play which allows you to utilize the apple IOS interface on your head unit. In addition, the quality of music sounds much better when you have your phone plugged into the usb as opposed to using bluetooth. Ive had this head unit for years and absolutely love it.

[@samcardinal1]

Im honestly so happy one of the guys is doing something truely related to audio at the huntquarters. Not the quick radio 5 min installs all the time. Audio completes a car.

[@dhowting]

I live in Ontario and know Carfonics!!! Small world Mickey so cool!!

[@d4bid15]

The interior looks like it came out of the factory! Clean!

[@starkycarrillo]

Mickey for me is like you all the hatchback car make the bass sound better

[@davidbrowne1588]

Hi.Micky When using the solder sleeves you want a heat gun with a heat deflector end, you will find that the solder flows much sooner, The solder sleeves are not a new idea as I used them 25years ago in MOD prototype wiring, they were made by raychem back then, Thanks Dave Very nice car, great videos

[@Zero_oshi]

if you want the camera to focus on a small point like that connector, just put your hand flat behind the object you want to focus on to. You know "make object bigger". Really nice videos guys!

[@VR6NAVYVW]

Car audio fabrication on KZbin made a video on those self soldering heatshrink wraps. In his test the solder doesn’t fill the wire completely. It’s better to just solder and heat shrink the old school way.

[@armandocarrillo409]

The usb is for car play....you should look into removing the cigarette lighter and replace it with a usb extension....they have them on amazon for like $10 or so

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Armando Carrillo - Already been looking into that. Good suggestion.

[@lokey8551]

First thing I ever learned was how to wire up a stereo and sound system. It's awesome to see this happening

[@carl3241]

I like how you actually show us how to do things unlike other people

[@Corrupt_Liberty]

It's also a good idea to use that mounting hole in the back of the unit. Cantilevering all that weight on the front can lead to issues down the road. If you don't have a mount point that lines up just use some one hole strap from the hardware store. I know it's a pain in the ass; but it's well worth it in the end.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Corrupt Liberty - There is a bracket in the back on the factory dash bar that the head unit rests on brother. I said that in the video.

[@Corrupt_Liberty]

@@mickeyandrade3435 Ahh, must've missed that one. I had an older AVIC head unit and it started pulling out of the front bracket after a few months.

[@EricSchutt]

Respect the patience, time and care you apply to all the aspects of the build. Impressive.

[@AntonySimm]

There's a setting on those head units to change the colour of the lights behind the buttons...It's got to be red right? to match the stitching in the seat leather?

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Antony Simm - Orange to match the rest of the lighting on the dash.

[@idkilketurbos]

Ive got the same radio in my Corvette. I absolutely love the radio, and it doesn't look like some ridiculous aftermarket head unit. Definitely a great bang for the buck head unit.

[@DoOnlyGoodEveryday69]

Yes finally some audio work, I always fix the sound in my cars first since I can't ride a car without music. I need it

[@dawggpie]

Was hoping to see what your plans are for the speakers. I replaced the speakers in my FD with some decent mid prices speaker and it still sounds like junk because of the terrible enclosures that the speaker sit in. There's a guy that sells replacement door mounts for the door speakers, but they're pretty flimsy plus the doors themselves are super flimsy so there's definitely no sealing going on there. I added some fiberglass to the door mounts to stiffen them up, those foam baffles behind the speaker, and threw some dynamat on the door panels but didn't hear much improvement (door closes with a much nicer thud now though). For the rears you might be able to build and actual enclosure behind them if you want to get fancy, but with the stock mounts they're basically free air speakers.

[@shanekemp4093]

Hell ya mickey gotta have the audio replaced my unit once I got wrx with a touch screen and got the same kit I love how it fits and matches 👍 another great video like always and that interior looks beyond amazing

[@lickmyrightnut22]

It said 90-01 mickey hahaha

[@mickeyandrade3435]

lickmyrightnut22 ☠️

[@jasoncameron34]

I love stereo systems and watching installs can't wait to see the system you guys install😉

[@hammertownsoldier]

You weren’t kidding, the unit is perfect! Looks real good

[@BKnight7z]

move the mic connector to the middle of the headliner and windshield. when you mount it on the A-pillar like that you get alot of road noise and vibration when you try to talk to someone on the phone

[@betonthis1]

Mikey one of your fans love the audio stuff. Can’t wait for that custom sub and amp set up!

[@kenrivers9757]

Nice simple clean install mickey...love your taste in music (mobb deep)😊😊😊😊😊

[@Kortec_Racing]

When is the dyno vid coming up? Still breaking it in? Love it!

[@mickeyandrade3435]

[@dannymoya134]

Hell yeah!!!! More car audio!! I have a MazdaSpeed 3 with a P3 Rockford Fosgate and it sounds great! Hatchbacks are awesome

[@calvinattridge8365]

That head unit looks so clean in that car it's perfect!

[@cruserkan]

Done! Kove order jst placed over to Germany💪🏻 thx thrtl fam. 😎

[@mikewentworth9819]

Unreal how nice this car is now. That interior is spot on with that fancy head unit in. Great job.

[@paulechols]

Excellent tutorial 🤠 I grew up a long time ago so the old stuff is normal to me. Great flashback

[@cocoyrivera142]

The bad apple gets better and better!

[@wdemetrius76]

Mikey I don't know how sick you want your sound system to be but if I was out in Cali I would definitely take a look at the guys over at Simplicity In Sound. They are incredible!!!

[@kitterllsingleton9936]

Mick do the dam thing having Audio is very cool I myself am running Memphis audio in my door panels side panels and I also have MTX subwoofers 12" with 1200 watt amp in my blazer hit's like a concert \ movie theater💯💯✌🏽✌🏽

[@GermanEliteTuning]

Great head unit choice. I have the app radio 4 and it’s awesome.

[@nidaanemer4752]

This thing fits so perfect it looks like it was made for it

[@literallynothing8934]

Bring the prv team so they can work on your sound sistem

[@xXjaviervillegasXx]

Hector Quiros yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! X2

[@Southern_K_One]

Mickey bumping some Mobb Deep and Easy E... I can dig that! Good Taste in Music!!!

[@lilbatman636]

Nice work Mickey! That stellar and a perfect factory replacement.

[@PerformanceAudioLV]

On the front speakers not having any sound. Did the car originally have a Bose system in it? If so, you'll have 2 Bose amplifiers that I would recommend bypassing. It could be a blown fuse, the remote output not connected, or even bad amplifiers. If you tell me the year (I can't remember if you've mentioned it in a previous video or not) and whether or not it has a Bose system I can probably help you out. I prefer solder and heat shrink but you still did a clean job. Sadly better than most people who work in car audio. I'm extremely OCD and not medicated. Good job on the zip ties and flush cuts. You can see some of my work on my shops Facebook page Performance Audio Las Vegas. Unfortunately I'm temporarily closed due to a back injury that's plagued me for years and I'm trying to fix now. Car looks great though bro!

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Jon Webb - I removed all the Bose audio.

[@PerformanceAudioLV]

Did you bypass the Bose amplifiers? I know it's a dumb question but I still have to ask. Sorry if you did.

[@correya.lettsome4702]

Mickey spec on the this Audio install should be all soldered connections. Those heat shrink connectors are bulky. Lastly wrapping on cloth tape would give that OEM plus look

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Correy A. Lettsome - The heat shrink connectors aren’t bulky once they are shrunk and I could care less about wrapping in cloth tape.

[@gilbertolopez870]

Mickey! I would recommend you to get a flush mount cigarette lighter USB. You can replace the one you’ve, since you’re using it for the USB. That way it’ll charge & also be connected to the radio. Letting you do Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Gilberto Lopez - Already on it player.

[@Memyselfandvan]

Mickey, Got a link to those amazing tubes/solder/wire connectors? That final install looks sick!

[@ShanepxII]

That’s super clean and looks bad ass in there!

[@saint1605]

you need a certain attachment for your heat gun for the sleeves to melt properly.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

saint1605 - Worked Fine.

[@RoamingThePNW]

That looks super good, love that setup.

[@insaneconqueror5421]

Mobb deep?! I knew I liked you for more then just cars!

[@WhiteGhost0891]

It's in our "gen" to love car audio😉

[@imnota]

Bro, when you want something to focus, you can put your hand right behind it, so it helps the camera to focus, because there's less depth. I don't know if I was clear, but just try it, it works well.

[@meech2903]

The usb in the back of the head unit is for apple car play

[@judekiv]

I’m casually here waiting for you to start making Vr4 videos like please start already I love that car n wanna see content on it 😂😂

[@madnesstruckinghtx5074]

That’s the stereo I was going to get for my truck and now seeing it I’m for sure going to get it it looks nice bro

[@johnathancrumm]

@16:25, I think Mickey listens to AFI. That’s a good band.

[@JordanSince93]

That is a cleeeeeaaaaaaannnn ass set up

[@kawiiyamgaming464]

Thank you Mickey and the whole throtl team for the sick discount for the Kove speakers I just ordered two one for me and one for the parents getting my Xmas shopping out of the way 😜

[@alecsimm1418]

Looks great, finishes the inside

[@slowlifegrind1282]

You need to get a subwoofer and anp up on that 12"-15" sub something to get a bit more boom

[@zillatribemanny4624]

Dam nice I have problems connecting the Bluetooth on my pioneer to my iPhone it keeps saying memory full and I try to erase/delete the memory but it doesn’t let me smh

[@genesis4398]

I love a good audio system I'm rocking some skar audio stuff in my focus

[@cuanham]

Awesome work as always Mickey. The USB should be used for the carplay so you might want to fit it where you put your phone

[@matthewmcmullan9669]

Do you guys in the states not have iso leads with both ends already plugged ready to go, iv noticed on a lot US audio video you guys having to make up your own plugs.

[@lukeattard7408]

That connector type is an aviation type! Greetings Malta! 😁

[@Maccarpenter]

AFI!! sick choice mick

[@Nick210]

Pioneer should really update their interface

[@brendenescobar3944]

You should help Tj with his because yours looks so much better then his

[@nandogdiaz0727]

go to settings to fix the sound for front speakers to all.

[@CarPhonix]

Did a pretty good job on that stereo installation Mr! Also happy birthday 🥳

[@mammoth-puppy3246]

You gotta stop Mick, you're making my lust for rotary stronger by the day.

[@katdaddychap]

Does that unit support wireless Apple car play? Also Android Auto and wired Apple Car Play is probably supposed over the USB. Keep in mind wireless Apple Car Play is done over wi-fi protocol (not bluetooth) and is a power hog so keep a cigarette lighter charging cable handy. Also I didn't see to hook up the AM/FM antenna. Don't know if you're concerned about that or not. Nice clean install! Love the build!

[@mickeyandrade3435]

katdaddychap - Yes, it does

[@mickeyandrade3435]

I don’t have a radio antenna. :-)

[@Titan520]

Sweet HU instal!

[@MATTxALLEN]

Eh, Ontario!

[@Optimusprime-gl2lt]

Hey mickey nice video. headunit looks sick. if you plan on running a amp and sub you could of run the remote and rca cords while the head unit was out now you gotta pull it back out lol #No hate

[@mickeyandrade3435]

John Tap tap - No worries. It’s easy as to pull. I don’t have the RCAs year and it has to come back out anyways.

[@TheGuccibane]

USB is a must if you want to push firmware updates to that head unit.

[@abdulazizz9354]

Daaamn that's so clean and perfect. 👌

[@luiscompean793]

I love audio man

[@cyruslever586]

I just put a head unit in my car and when i turn my headlights on it says camera no video signal w a blue screen. I bought the proper harness and matched every wire there is to match. And i grounded the brake to the frame of the unit idk why i get a blue screen it works perfectly with the headlights off.

[@aprelax8427]

Should have ran the cable into the ash tray. Just makes it easier to use

[@all.things.boosted]

This is the authority video on how to do this

[@RONIN_RX7]

Caught this video right on time. I actually was looking to do the same set up on my FD but I didn't know about that install kit. Does that kit work on all Pioneer double din units?

[@spyarc5522]

That jump scar AD tho

[@Soulie81]

The Kove speakers are currently marked up to $200 to be discounted to $70 with the throtl code. Looking other places online (walmart), they're 120. So it's still a discount, but not actually 65%.
