    Threw some old stereo crap in my 2021 Off-Road access cab.

    Nothing fancy but it sounds good enough for me. I completely sound deadened the entire cab. Doors, floor, roof, and back wall.

    Huge difference. I’m using a combo of the factory head unit and a Sony RSX-GS9. It’s in the glovebox.

    They feed into a Audison BitOne DSP.
    upload_2021-6-14_15-25-53.jpg
    upload_2021-6-14_15-26-21.jpg
    I tried to feed the Bit via optic but believe it or not analog sounded better. The BitOne goes into a Audison Voce 5.1k via analog. Again I tried using a AV BIT IN digitally but after a lot of fighting with ones and zeros I decided to go analog.
    upload_2021-6-14_15-27-22.jpg
    Had low volume and phasing issues with digital. The 5.1k powers a pair of Hertz HSK 165XLs and a pair of Hertz HX250s.

    They’re in a down firing sealed enclosure. I made the enclosure like a shelf with rubber inserts on the back and bottom for durability. It pounds when called upon.

    upload_2021-6-14_15-33-16.jpg
    When all was up and running I bitch slapped the BitOne with a nasty tune using a AudioControl DM-RTA. I Also used the DM-RTA to adjust for max unclipped output from the decks and amp.

    I’m pleased with how everything turned out. Very realistic sound with great staging for such a simple install. If anyone is in the Concord NC area DM me for a demo if you’d like.

    Simple install lol. Hertz and audison make good shit. My Silverado had 3 15" Hertz milles where the backseat was and an audison amp. That thing beat.

    Did you use any mlv before you put your carpet back down. How much if a difference can you tell with the deadening? Good job

    I just used MESA Mat no MLV. Deadening makes a big difference. The floor probably makes the least difference. The biggest was the front doors and roof. Thanks.
