The full Honda Accord 911 Kicker Q Class and Morel Speaker install

[@AbaddonDeath]

You guys do quality work! It's hard to find shops like this anymore. Almost makes me want to make the 6 hour trip to get my audio system upgraded lol. These Hondas have the worst audio systems I've ever heard from the factory.

[@mikedevlinbmx7208]

I had a dream last night i came down and you hired me to be an installer for you. Needless to say i was highly disappointed when i woke up. Lol

[@mr_ice117]

I wish i could go to you guys for my audio stuff. The amount of time and effort you put into getting it done right almost makes me wanna drive cross country

[@stefanvandentillaard4729]

Wow, after installing myself for 20 years, it's good to see People are still wanting amps in their cars. In the Netherlands this isn't done so much any more. Something i loved to do for a long time. I still have to do post delivery inspections on new cars, so Towing bars, wheels and accessories are some the things i have to do. Love seeing you guys doing this........

[@isaiahelisaia3165]

Im not a professional installer but i love and enjoy installing audio as a hobby. Seeing all this incorrect installment bs that you and fernando have to fix, just blows my mind. I take pride in what i do no matter what it is and so should the installer who did this crap. Love your guys content. Keep up the great work.

[@scottburke4800]

Yes, I watched each episode and watched them as one video. Thanks for doing this.

[@skellz215]

Right these guy are good N professional

[@tonyvia87]

im so happy to see a guy who actually cares and i agree with his anger and frustration at people who take advantage of customers

[@nectros8452]

I love returning to see the same videos a few months apart.

[@dank8865]

1st video of yours I watched. Your obsessive attention to detail (even on a basic install like this) makes my OCD soul all warm and fuzzy inside. I. Am. SUBSCRIBED. Srsly, outstanding stuff. Thanx.

[@loudelvis610]

With successful installers you might not be OCD when you start....but as years go by the OCD ratchets up and up...lol

[@adrianbanuelos8052]

I like buying older used cars and I’ve seen how audio shops do wiring and installs. Man I gotta say I agree with you 100 percent on doing a better job. I’m a diesel technician and have been a “diagnostic tech” for a few years now. I get hell at work cause how much pride I take in my wiring work on a truck that doesn’t belong to me. I’ve since started learning how to do car audio in all my cars and same situation, I may go a little over board on my wiring.

[@byteme285]

I like the longer all-in-one Video, I know it isn't going to get every day content, but it's nice to have both options.

[@osubam]

Four people disliked the video? Must have hurt someone's feelings, WTH. Great video guys, I love how you describe what you are doing?

[@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128]

J Hodge lol was probably the 4 people who were responsible for the initial ghetto installation. Sad there are so many car audio shops throughout 🇺🇸 who are thriving from ripping customers off by charging too much & the worst part is they do not even do the install properly. Most cut corners in order to get install finished as quickly as possible.

[@jasonghering4389]

Can't wait for Dean and Fernando to do my install. They are very busy and hope to hear from them to see when they are available

[@bassahaulic]

I LOVE my Kicker IQ 1000.5 in my daily driver, paired with a set of QS 6.75"s running active. Simply astounding.

[@ArbitragePrice]

🙏🙏 BH b8,

[@myronjansen2165]

Love these videos. I'm gonna have to rewire my '04 Honda Accord. It was my first install but I've learned and I enjoy doing the work. Time to get my set-up this NEAT !!!

[@Esteban_Herrera]

Love the wiring. You mentioned bending an "S" for the RCA connections but it was barely heard. The "S" can also be used on every connection allowing enough wire to be re stripped. Back in the earl 80's I made harnesses for Commercial Aircraft. All wire terminations that weren't soldered were made with ring type terminals. I had to leave enough slack to re lug the wire three times for servicing. I was the lead electrician and had to hire people that cared to do stuff to procedure. The way you explain things was deja vu. It was hard to find great people. I would of hired you and Fernando. Wiring is art, to bad people think it should be hidden.

[@jbmjbm323]

You mentioned don't do a crappy job. They probably did that so they can pay you to fix it. Hehe! Also love how Fernando did the power and ground from the battery. i did the same with my Honda CRV's ground but instead of 0 gauge, I have 4 gauge. And I mounted my fuse to that same style bracket on the positive wire. It is not as nice as his bracket cause I don't have the tools to make it clean but made it similar with just plastic and a dremel.

[@im2str4u]

rant time is the best time.100% transparency all the way through every video, keep up the great job(s) both of you!

[@mikeodell5915]

I wish you were closer to me... I've had this happen too many times to my trucks....you guys are the exception to the rule out here in car audio land.

[@carloscollazo6106]

Hi dean and Fernando I have been watching your videos on you tube for a while I am empress about how detailed both of you explained how to install car audio system for diy person keep up the good work both of you are doing to bad you don’t have a shop in Orlando we don’t have to many knowledgeable audio installer and trusted ones

[@chrisnas1483]

I hope Dean and Fernando gets to do a 100% full installation of a 2012-2014 toyota camry v6 xle and they do a sony rsx gs90, and Amps, fast rings , components, and sub woofer.

[@ThatHurtsDonut]

i have this same car man i wish you guys were in my city. the people around here would do the same job you are fixing. I would try myself but havnt installed a system in a newer car. I have installed a lot of equipment in my life over the last 20 years, but these new cars are to tricky for me. not to mention messing around in a 35k car. not for me anymore. love the channel bros keep up the good work.

[@ceavalencia4767]

Fernando knows how to live my bro

[@scarce911]

Prematurely liking this.... I'll watch it later..bedtime for 3rd shift ...in 3-2-1-NOW!

[@PanameraTurboSEHybrid]

An hour long video! 😵😁 Never thought I'd see this. Thanks. 👍👍

[@tfunk1829]

Amp rack is a work of art.

[@PaulECooper10]

I live in the 33755 and when my money is right I'm all in with 5 Star

[@JGreen46]

I agree with do a good job because we do spend a lot of money 💰 on getting things installed only to have crappie work. I enjoy watching your videos on how to do things the right way

[@NoName-gk2sj]

Hahah I ran 4 1/0 OFC wire threw the plastic trim I took out all the seats and center console and carpet. It was bare metal and I laid them separate from each but I did have my air lines for my bags and 2 1/0 Wire threw the plastic

[@sammyfb488]

Any idea if those t harnesses are still available anywhere? Seem to be discontinued for the 2016+ Hondas. Hell, even a wiring diagram and a listing of connectors would be awesome, to make my own.

[@bradysimpson]

22:20 Marking this. Need to do the exact same thing to my GMLAN10-10 from Axxess

[@Bradimus1]

I've had 5 1/4" Alpine Type X components in the front doors before. They were the earlier ken with the ring radiators. Loved them. Amazing crossovers and sound quality. But without a sub they'd be kind of terrible.

[@chuckywrld171]

You guys are so dope when I get the funds I swear I’m coming to get my install done

[@bass-head6306]

Do it yourself save a lot of money 💰

[@buya_pr]

So I can finally binge watch the entire series in one sitting 🪑💪🏻🙏 😂🍿 🍿

[@gregblau8082]

I was waiting for this after reverse polarity. Great episode btw. I suggested that topic and the example you used about door speakers on deck power was the exact answer I was looking for without even asking the question. I’ve been trying for a while to get a good answer about unhooking the tweeters and running some kicker cs coax.

[@Dave97456]

@05:55....I laughed out loud during a Teams meeting...Thanks guys!!!!

[@verynick]

Thank you for showing how to do it right! I think moving forward, shops should provide video recording of their work. Idk or else there wouldn’t be a way to know for sure if they did it right. You are paying them to do everything right the first time. Am I crazy for asking video recordings? Loo

[@mkp3824]

By the way, that's a lot of work. I've done a few minimal installs. I know it's not easy. You must charge a fortune. I could never afford having someone else do it!

[@Anth4044]

Wow that install before you guys was horrible,I can't even imagine how much that customer got charged for that, You guys do Beautiful work I really enjoy your work 💪💪🎶👍Also you and Fernando work great together

[@edwinolivera5595]

I wish you guys were in Jersey. Great work

[@johnnyrivera1553]

Looks like the customer, had an installation done at . Tijuana. 😉

[@nectros8452]

Oldie but goodie. Remind me what year Accord this is. I just bought a 2017 a few months back and I'm wanting to upgrade my stereo.

[@albertoreyes7694]

Simply awesome 911...tamales n coffee, can't get better than that

[@GeneralOrhan]

I wanna come take my 2021 RAM to you guys. Can't wait.

[@rockapartyjd]

I really like you 2 and I am seriously thinking of having u guys do my install...I live in ohio but might be able to tell the wife it's a little vacation when really I'll have you guys do my front stage...

[@johnvicars3478]

Thanks great video, really enjoyed your attention to detail.

[@dextermanelus3628]

I really love watching your show and i really wish i could get a 911 from you guys

[@christiandshatto7765]

These and car lab are my favorite videos👍🏻

[@christopherwardlow3178]

I have basically the same car that I had a bunch of stuff installed and it sounds horrible. Rattles are everywhere even though it was supposedly sound deadened. I wish these guys were closer to me I’d love to have them do a 911 on mine.

[@mrgoodbar216]

The problem with the car audio industry is that the majority of shops are after the quick buck. There arent too many shops around that do all the little things and take their time to do the job right. Most shops are just trying to move cars in and out as quickly as possible. Hell i can screw my own system up. Id rather do that than spend my hard earned money to let a “professional” screw it up. I wish i had a shop like this in Cleveland

[@ittotaq]

Should use some royalty free music. It even streambeats. It'll be a good consistent test across all install

[@chaos4197]

Great work as always, but with that amp I wonder why you wouldn't run full active on those front components.

[@aaronrickard4675]

11:35 preach brotha nothing worse than redoing something because someone else didn't just do it right the first time

[@ricardojuarez291]

When I fix something like that, I just do it like it never had a system before instead been dramatic right Dean😂😂..

[@goodcitizenryan1589]

Hi....PLEASE do complete system in 2017 Accord that allows customer to keep control over upper screen. Thanks

[@aaronhazelwood174]

I appreciate how you focus on quality my good sir. Short cuts only add more effort and time.

[@slyfox720]

These 911 videos are really good....sure would love to know what shops have done the bad work so we do not go there...lol

[@beekaye1496]

Nice looking set up. Great details for sure

[@jm361]

The "thumbs down" probably came from the shop/installers who did the "job" before the car/customer made it over to Five Star to have it redone the right way lol I willing to bet that : Best Buy or Car tunes or another local fine Pinellas/Pasco/Polk county car stereo shop did that "fine work" lmao I hope someone identifies the "shop" who did such a thing, so that way people can avoid that potential car fire/drama.

[@verynick]

I want to the shops to record themselves when doing work. I have been ripped off to many times hahah

[@ronaldmckenzie1]

Hey guys, can you do video on making templates, with all the programs you use and the laser machine.

[@chicoleno007]

How you like that Rockville sound deadening? What brand would you recommend if you want to sound deadening your car?

[@henrynissanmimintruck]

Do you have a vidoe where we hear the sound for this vehicle thanks. Great video

[@krishansen4769]

Where are you located? nice to see pride in professional work!!! 👍

[@ericjackson7372]

Where city/state are you located? I can’t find a shop in Las Vegas that has as high a standard of clean Wire and Mount attention as you guys have. The inner perfectionist in me is smiling like a kid in a candy store when I watch guys you go to work.

[@willytv275]

Wow man, you guys are meticulous and your work looks fantastic! Not sure who the bonehead crew was that did that previous install, but as you said, they need to seek out another line of work. I was wondering if I could get some advice from you guys. I have a 2015 crosstour EX with the lousy Honda factory system in it. I already have Polk audio speakers in the doors and am now looking at an amp. Think I’m going with the audio control D-5.1300. Any advice or recommendations you might provide are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance…

[@allencharles14]

So in the area where you installed the crossover mount did you just block access to the cabin air filter?

[@JoelSJennings]

Do you guys remember where you went through the firewall on this model? I can’t find a way through. Thanks.

[@elvingnunez3480]

Hey man this is a very professional job I would love to know your location and the price for getting this done

[@BMFinternational]

@ 24:00 why didn’t you show us what you connected this speaker wires to? Are there some rca to wire connections we can purchase or did you salvage some?

[@Macskinny76]

Wow, I do car install and even I've never seen anything this reckless . Did they like playing with fate or somethin? But, what about a aftermarket head unit for the 2018+ Accord? Has that been done at all? @Five Star Car Stereo

[@MunCh3Boii420]

I have a 2017 Honda Accord. I just installed a set of l7s 2 oh 12in in factory box with a kicker cx 1800.1 with kicker pkd1 0 gauge to my factory head unit with a kicker kisl. Amp is set to except dc voltage with high level input switch set on high. Gain matched to 60v crossover 80 hz ..The problem I am is I am getting little to no bass install is clean but I can crank it all when way up and get nothing is it my kicker kisl aka cut RCA wire

[@cnottagejr]

i like your video i wish y'all can do my 1996 mercury grand marquis gs i like sound in my car but i don't want no box in my trunk i just want a bass tube in my car

[@solicitutoob]

Great video! Just one suggestion. After watching the install process, I was really looking forward to some sound clips of the system. We heard a description of the sound of the system but didn't really hear it for ourselves. I heard some guitar but what about other instruments or vocals? I know copyright is an issue. However, is there some good sound tracks that aren't copyright protected that you could use?

[@ronsharan9384]

what was the Sub setup??.. was kinda hoping to see the sub install as well

[@xaviermartinez5450]

10in Kicker L7 in a ported box or do you mean specs?

[@tristanelliott7858]

Dean... "okay rant over"😂🤤

[@Catholic1391]

I need help I just got me a 2013 Chevy Tahoe LTZ, it's has a bose system, with rear entertainment for kids in the top liner. I am going to take out my Pioneer AVH-490BS out of my other car for the Tahoe. This Tahoe has navigation. Can you guys link everything I need I really don't care about the navigation just a steering control and the rear entertainment. Thanks 😊 forgot to mention am putting two Amp a subwoofer and a 4 channel Amp.

[@mr.bigs7652]

Why didnt u use the big fuse by the amp like u had to on the other accord? Nvr saw u put it in while u were wiring up the amplifier.

[@lucrisdelarosa]

How do you pass the power cable from 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 to amplifier?

[@danc6531]

Cool video, good install. Can tell you are a pro and have been doing this for a long time. However, I would like to mention something that you and a lot of other people probably won’t agree with but hear me out… whoever did this install (most likely the owner of the car) is not a professional audio installer I think that is pretty clear. But maybe they are new and interested in the hobby of car audio and are really green (as we all were at one point, I am sure you can recall a time where you were that guy making all sorts of mistakes). Maybe instead of insulting someone’s attempt at installing an audio system over and over again and potentially making that person lose interest in audio all together, maybe you could just highlight that: A), B), C), etc. are not done correctly and just show how to do it the right way and encourage people to learn from your content and learn from others who are professional. My belief is that the more people that are genuinely interested and passionate about car audio, the better. If people only rely on professionals and are scared to attempt to do any work themselves it will limit the industry big time. Although very funny, your comments could be perceived as hurtful to someone who is on the sensitive side and like I mentioned above, could potentially cause that disinterest in car audio. Remember most of your work probably stems from these types of situations so imagine if no one attempted to do installs themselves and only went to professionals? You would have a serious drop in work and $$… not bashing you or your channel in any way, I learned a few things from your video and appreciate the advice. Just trying to return the favor!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

I understand what you are saying and I believe we do a pretty good job of encouraging DIY installer’s. This car was done by a shop not the owner, we know who did the work. When a car like this comes in I find it very upsetting. To know someone spent good money on a bad job sucks. That feeling does come through on the video.

[@justinsexton6659]

[@ryanroberts6226]

Any alternatives for that harness? Looks like they discontinued this one....

[@seanf01012]

So I am assuming that the speaker side of the T harness get connected to speaker terminals of the amplifier?

[@Npressv]

Dean and Fernando question my speed vehicle compensation seems to be messing with how hard my amp and subs hit over 60 mph and it's hits hard and stays hitting hard till I slow back down sounds amazing till I slow down and the bass gets quieter too running an lc2i loc

[@brentpadgett7178]

Love these series

[@Carloscda40]

The way the harness was modified can it be used on 2020 Accord Touring?

[@hvcool]

will be nice to control DSP on the head unit :)

[@wc8363]

Love your video . I have a 2021 honda accord sport T . I am gonna try to install component speakers and amp in myself , have done it in the past but this is different . Can't change the radio is game changer . My question to you is do I need that T harness for my car ? I've tried looking for that T harness and can't find it for my car . If not any suggestions on how to run the speaker wires from factory radio to speakers and amp ? (speakers are Kenwood Excelon Reference XR-1701P and amp is JL audio JD400/4)

[@NoName-gk2sj]

What did u end up putting. I have a 18 accord and I have 2 solox

Since you kept the factory radio what module did you plug the rca's to?

Is there a wire harness for a 2021 accord touring? The factory system has a 10 channel amp and want to add a subwoofer amp with 2 x 12 JL audio w3

Can you please mesaage me about the wires out of the factory amp. I need to add a amp dsp and then install
