System planned for my 17 DCSB

Thanks looks good

 

That's pretty much the only spot on the sails that can be used . The sail attaches to the door with 3 clips , and between those 3 clips is the only place you can drill a hole big enough for the tweeter

 

Back doors

Which then got Ensolite over the Dynamat , stock speaker was also put back on to cover up the speaker hole but is not funtional

 

solid gear choice and solid installer.

Im running the stock head unit into my Psix DSP MK2 and it's fine.
I don't think you will feel the need to upgrade, and before I upgrade, I would just run an AMAS.

 

Nice! Where did you get your Ensolite?

 

I agree , the stock HU is fine but it has its issues, the CD player is fine but using the USB input as a source sucks as it only reads compressed files and I'm not into carrying a box of CD's in the truck , an upgraded HU will allow me to have my music in FLAC or WAV files , 3 channel output and also have a lower floor noise .
The install went fine, the installer did a nice job building the adapters/sub box/amp rack , wiring everything and setting the gains but I'm pretty much on my own regarding the tuning of the DPS

 

at RAAMaudio.com
I used the peel and stick version

 

How much ensolite did you use for all 4 doors?

 

D S P. LOL Ur Killin me!



Stock headunit will likely have less floor noise than something aftermarketing - You are running high level....
My stock radio has 0 noise. It puts out a very clean, flat signal.

 

I got 3 yards because I wanted some left over for the back wall

 

I got a little noise , think I need to turn down the gains a little, I might need to re do my grounds also

 

How do you like that Helix P Six? Have been talking to Marv about it still kind of on the Fence about it

 

I like it a lot.
I came from Mosconi AS Amps with tons of power with an H800.
My last build was insane, and this time I was going for simple and somewhat practical. I think the DSP MK2 is awesome in that regard.
The small form factor for the amount of power it is putting out is pretty awesome, especially considering its a 6 Channel amp + DSP.
I am not missing any power (As of yet), and the tuning capabilities are the best on the market.

Marv built my box and we talked audio for a while. He said he was thinking of running it on his own truck.... I recommend it to him as well.

Have you ever owned a DSP Before?

 

No I haven't. But after talking to Marv, He has me believing that even a "non tuner like me can work with Helix software! He supplied the speakers, amp, and built the box for my last truck.

 

Drove out to Tahoe with the family for a few days and got a chance to listen to the system for an extended period and it sounds pretty damn good after some tuning but want to change a few things so I got a new Excellon DNX994S head unit on the way to start with.
It'll allow me to;
1-Play hi resolution files
2-better Garmin navigation
3-6 channels pre out so I can use all six channels input in the processor as opposed to getting all my signals from the 2 front channels in the stock head unit
4-gain a front camera for when I go wheeling

 

I've been eyeballing that HU as well, but now I have to hold off because WIRELESS Android Auto was just announced by JVCKENDWOOD this week (for release sometime in early 2018). We will supposedly find out more at CES

 

Damn !!

 

Looks like Kenwood is coming out with a slew of new HU's this year. 3 of them will have hi-res audio and the wireless Android Auto (DNX995S, DDX9905S, and DMX905S)...those 1st two are now part of the new "reference series" which is above the eXcelon line!

No Pricing yet. Too bad they won't be released until March.

EDIT: Looks like they have a couple more that have the wireless Android Auto too (DDX9705S, DNX875S), but slightly less powerful internals and a lower res screen.

 

Damn, Is a good thing I don't use Android products otherwise I'll be pissed
