New Helix Ultra DSP, RSD Custom Cables RCA’s and new power distribution all installed…and I barely got it all crammed in there. It’s all re-wired and test fired and ready for tuning. My grilles for the kick panels will be cut from 3/16” stainless tomorrow then I can fab the rest and get them protected. It’s so close to done I can’t stand it.

At the point, ST stands for Song Tuned on your vehicle.
Its like a Jukebox with an engine and four wheels.

So I did finish up those grilles. The plan was to inset them into wooden rings and cover the whole thing with grille cloth…but that turned into only wrapping the rings so I can still see the speaker cone and adding some cap screws to match the sub mounting in the back.
Like things sometimes do…that got my brain spinning and it’s now evolved into this idea which went to the water jet place today. The new grilles will match the style of the Focal tweeter grilles and will be inset into a polished black acrylic ring. That will match the trim ring going on the midrange and also tie into the piano black dash trim. Then I had to match the screws to the bevel head titanium screws in the tweeters so $5.40 per screw later those will be delivered tomorrow. Basically my grille idea restarted from scratch.

Some “next step” stuff. I’ve always wanted to try differential rear fill. You basically apply 50% of each side TO each side in the DSP and it extracts the center information and leaves the edge info. When done right it can make your front stage both wider and deeper than it already is. It’s one reason I moved to a 12 channel DSP. Just something I can’t resist playing with.
Since it barely plays volume wise as it’s supposed to mimic a reflection and it’s a narrow range of about 400hz to 4khz a wideband driver is perfect. I’m gonna use a Mosconi Atomo 2 amp which is a palm of your hand sized class D amp and Blam FRS 3N50+ widebands in custom pods where the oem speakers are in the d-pillars.
