System planned for my 17 DCSB

Lol,

If you have Apple, wireless CarPlay came out earlier last year, but it doesn't look like Kenwood is touting the wireless version of CarPlay. I think Apline is the only one with it at the moment.

 

In your OP you said the Hertz Mille Legend Mids actually Measured 3.75 inches versus the stated 3.45 Inches?

 

are you going to use any mlv to silence any outside noises?

 

Yes,it is right there on their specifications

 

I might not sure yet, right now I'm trying to source the proper dash kit so I can install my new HU

 

so OP after all that what's your Achilles heel?

my setup and yours are similar regarding power and sound deadening. i have 300w per ch bridged from a HD600/4 up front (no rears) and a 500/1 on a 13TW5 in the back (in a Mr Marv birch box, in fact). i did not apply dynamat or the like to the ceiling and floor, although it's everywhere else. i can only turn up the bass to maybe 20% max, probably less. if i did this again i would dynamat the ceiling and floor first. I'm SQ focused so im ok with the bass turned down, but if i could do again...

 

There already seems to be quite a bit of deadening on the floor from the factory but a little more won't hurt.
Right now things are sounding really nice but I'm not 100% happy with the location of my mids and might relocate them to the pillars and add a second sub

 

speaking for myself i have found the minimal SQ approach worked really well for cleanness and imaging. i have Focal K2P's up front, only deadening in the rear doors, and the sub in the rear. just that. sounds amazing and that tw5 sub actually provides a surprising amount of imaging on its own from just its clean low mids.

 

Are you happy with the Audio Frog GB25's in the Stock tweeter space? How good do they fit?

 

They fit very well as they are very small and they sound very decent but they don't seem to handle much power and in that location because of the reflection and the open back to me they sound a little "hollow" That might be the wrong description

 

Thanks for the Response. Was wondering about that. I have those coming, also have the GB10 Tweeters ordered . Have some bolt on pods for the tweeters coming from Germany maybe I should order pods for those Mids. Thanks again

 

So after after tuning my system , to use as reference , I went ahead and installed my new HU,corrected some issues with the original install , I still have a couple of things to correct and fine tune but it already sounds amazing !!!

 

Have any updated pics? Would love to see how the new head unit looks? Also, have you kept the GB25s in the factory locations, or have they since been relocated?

Matt

 

Since installing the head unit , re wiring my amps and dps I haven’t had time to mess with it . It sounds pretty good though . Mids are still in the stock tweeter location . The so called audio guru here that I hired to install the system is very good at making boxes but not at installing and tuning advanced stuff.

 

Mind posting a pic, so I can see how the dash kit looks?

 

They can handle plenty of power. What crossovers are you using ?

 

Leonel - where In SF are you? I’ve got a tuner buddy up in Mountain View who is prob one of the best in the world. Great guy too. He might be willing to help on a weekend.

 

Right now the mids are at 1200-4500

 

I'm in the City ( San Francisco)
