Today I unbox some Hybrid Audio speakers and test fit them in the Mercury to see if they will fit. Then I decide what audio components I will use in my next stereo system build. I also test fit my McIntosh MCC4000m amplifier and discuss different options on how I can hook everything up. Then I make some custom bezels for my 3" wide band Hybrid Audio Legatia speakers.

Those speakers look lovely sir! Such a purdy magnet to never get to be seen again though😢

[@justinmurphy2227]

I was sponsored by Hybrid Audio back in 2017 and also helped bring Black Betty up to date for what was the current rules in 2018. I loved working with Scott and Klifton. Scott taught me so much. I had a 2008 Acura TL ( I believe you had one too or at least put a pretty decent system in one) and just had 5 speakers total... I have the L2 like you have here. I ran them as widebands. They fit perfectly into the OEM dash locations. They actually hit a little above 21khz. The wide dash and angled windshield helped a lot with imaging. Now I used the L6 for midbass.in the lower factory door locations. If you look at the specs, they are actually a 7 inch speaker but I think they are called a 6 because of how Scott measured only the cones as most brands measure in the surround too. I then had a single 15in Hybrid Clarus sub. This is easily one of the best subwoofers in car audio history.I have never seen a more accurate and versatile sub as it could be used in every enclosure possible. From bandpass to IB! I measured it down to 10hz....with music. I also used two of their 4 channel class D amps. They were bridged to two, 2 channel amps pushing over 200w to each speaker. The little L2's took it also. I ran them for 3 years and never blew a single speaker. I ran a matching Hybrid 1k monoblock on the 15. Even though these were class D amps, they had some of the best SQ of just about any amps I've used. And I own amps from Sinfoni to Zapco and the HAT amps could not be told apart! Sorry for the long message but I just wanted to reassure others that you are using some of the best, most winning speakers, in recent car audio history! Great job Doug!

[@VanLifeKen]

This man isnt lying. Black Betty was a true beauty and an engineering marvel. HAT drivers powered and tuned right will rumble your socks off with optimal clarity no doubt

[@justinmurphy2227]

​@@VanLifeKen thank you. I am truly blessed to be one of the few people to have heard her and seen under her dress at the same time lol. I've had six spine surgeries after finding three tumors on my spine back in 2014. It left me pretty depressive state but hybrid audio plus passion from Scott, the owner mom pretty much saved me I'm a bad section of my life. Fell in love with car audio again and love being involved with it now!

[@VanLifeKen]

@@justinmurphy2227 i heard that! That first part gave me a good laugh. Hope your recovery is going well sir! Yea, once u hear music the right way, theres no going back.

[@hoodheisenberg]

build a cover enclosure over the macintosh amp, use the white acrylic panel with side light over the "scratched" long strips to blend with the pillar idea.

My adopted daughter bought one of these, she got a great deal on it and the old man that had the vehicle before didn’t drive the car much, so it had low miles and the interior looked brand new. She loves her big ass boat! The cars name is Bertha and she has a Personality all her own.🤣

[@jeffhuffman2802]

I would love to see you go a bit further into door panel modification. When I started watching your channel, I was attracted by your fabrication skills and creativity. I saw you take immense consideration to sound quality, and that appealed to me. Please consider doing something fun with the doors panels (enlarge the grill opening) to accommodate the 8” driver.

[@JebusCrypes]

That tweeter/mid pillar mount is giving me a chub.

[@nicholaswagner3515]

I would recommend that you send those beautiful amps off to have the caps refreshed due to their age. Gotta use that longboard amp IMHO. Whatever direction you go with it I'll be along for the ride.

I'm only halfway through and I'm excited to see how you fit those speakers in the door and still make the windows works. Hoping to find out before the episode is over. Will update.

[@E1320_]

I'm on my 3rd Panther car, I currently daily an 04Ultimate with 250k, custom dual exhaust, P71airbox and a 93 octane Marty tune. I previously had a one owner 03LSE (like yours) with 70k sold it and bought a 2003 Maruader with 50k miles 32 valve 4.6 Darth Vader Batmobile AKA "Midnight Maruader" both with Atoto A6P7 Android head units, amps ,subs etc.. There's a company that makes door cards that hold 2 - 8"cones, you can also buy A piller gauge pods to mount your tweakers in. Irregardless nice choice on the Grandma Keith. The fuvked up engine noise is your belt tensioner. Do yourself a flavor and get a Duralast DW-4403 battery wire and ground your alternator mount to your battery ground with said cable. Just put air bags in the front you can adjust the rear airbags up and down with the level switch underneath. HAVE FUN Start out with a custom 2.5" dual exhaust, P71airbox and ziptube with a "Marty Tune" from Mo's speed shop in Georgia, then add some 3.73 gears to take advantage of your raging 250hp and don't forget to tint it 5% and put LEDS everywhere so you can drive at night

[@endall39]

Also, if you use their 6.5s in the doors or kicks, then use the big bastards in the back for extra midbass kick. I run a setup like that with Morels and love the extra midbass.

[@theresalong6573]

good video and series, love the room

Great job Doug very cool build. Can always count on you making me laugh don't change a thing! Lol

[@mester84]

Just out the 8” on the REAR DECK AND THE 6” on the door put both sets 🔥

[@corymerry3399]

The thumbnail is great 😂 the grand marqueif is coming along nicely 😅

[@JM-nd3ps]

Looking good, Doug! Maybe try to thread mounting holes into the acrylic "tweeter" mounts and fasten from the back with small screws so you don't see the screws. I think the tweeters may come unmounted through vibration and SoCal heat when the acrylic expands/contracts in the sun without some form of actual hardware attachments. As far as the amps go, run a DSP with the surfboard (like God intended) with no rear fill necessary. Keep it tidy! 😉

[@angelpena1237]

Damn Doug is still alive I haven’t see a sound man video in ages lol

[@garychaney9177]

Thank you

[@sharmanium3000]

Cut out the Hybrid Symbol in the dead white space beside the tweeter, then fill the cutouts with clear acrylic so when you light it up it looks dope. Use the large amp it's pimpin. White Rider 4 Life!!

[@TLindahl77]

Those mounts got me bricked

[@maccustoms2295]

I used the factory spot but made speaker pod in the door panel on the out side I eliminated the gril cut hole fabbed up speaker ring into outer part. But you have to watch the dash. But your a genius at fab you'll figure something out. Great video have a great day

I'd love to see you hard line air instead of doing hydraulics this time!!

[@genesisboston148]

You can't go wrong with the Grand Marqeef let's just hope that this time you do four batteries in the truck instead of three

6s in the doors, tweets in the sail panels or A pillars, and 8 in the passenger footwell in a small sealed box.

I truly wonder how this series is not on Motor Trend…. The massive amount of automotive knowledge continually shared far exceeds the $5.95/mo that they charge. How are you not at 1M subscibers with your own shop and buying multiple sources projects per year, that bring continual revenue? Doug, I am pleased you support multiple Ford projects. Happy to see the Grand Marqueef getting some love, and hate. 😂 Thanks!

So Doug, when you slapin that Ford Lightning motor in it? No more grandpa jokes!

[@ianrace4066]

I'd use all 3

[@satyavratadas1640]

Doug you can do a legit sq build with this one, no rear fill only front stage, proper staging with depth and width, time alinement DSP tuning with RTA ect. Maybe even go sealed with a upfront bass enclosure along those lines.

[@lucaslong5368]

Run all the channels! And the dsp. Take the 10 and mount it in the passenger footwell in infinite baffle for kickbass duties then get another sub for the sub bass in the trunk or put it in the rear deck. Maybe an infinite baffle 12 for the trunk. You want sq, infinite baffle is your number!

[@49ics05]

I'd love a full hybrid system

[@SharkRangler]

I would mount the Hybrid in the door solid then cut and fabricate the door panel so the speaker threads through it. You’d be able to use or fabricate a custom grille.

Hey Doug I work at a ford dealership and when I tell you that you stole my idea 😂 I have been trying to build me a lowrider with that model, definitely can't wait to see what you do. Also go with the Macintosh amp in the back with sub box in middle of cylinders ported thru rear deck would be cool. Stay cool my guy and keep this vlogs coming. 🫡✌️

[@jberry1979]

twiddlers are awesome!

[@Neganelite]

It doesn't matter what you do Doug!

[@endall39]

how bout the midbass in the kick and the mid/tweeter in the a-pillar. They'd be far apart, but close to time aligned. Your DSP can probably solve for the rest. Love those mid/tweets, and I want to see you give them their best chance of performing. Buried in the door is probably not the call. Great project!
