I agree! I have built a media server in my house that now is ran through my car stereo system for the family vehicle. Movies and video games for the rear crew and a amazing stage for me and the wife while traveling.
Will agree with the last comment since I have been watching your channel I look at car audio in a different way now. Realizing that it's cool to get the best but the install and small things make a big difference at the end
I did a 2014 Ford focus st. For my son.. it had a spare tire well instead of a tray....the mids and highs were surprisingly good..we tapped into the rear speakers with an audio control lc7 (,we went big so the system could grow later)with Accu Bass and self turn on worked great but we had a scare because of a bad ground that we we sure was good until we checked with a multimeter.
Not surprised that the interface worked fine on the 2018 - Being the last year for the Focus MK3, Ford was making no changes other than some subtle de-contenting.
i have a 2018 focus sel sedan and an amppro works like a beauty just have to maek sure you get the amppro for the 2017 ford focus since they dont technically make one for the 2018 focus
I don't know if you guys carry the line, but being that this came with the factory Sony system, I think it would have been kinda cool to install the new Sony Mobile ES line speakers into it. I haven't personally heard them, yet, but, if they are anything like the old Mobile ES line from WAY back in the day, when I was still installing, I can't see them being bad. Plus, all of the Sony badging would still be correct! Also, just curious, as I have seen you wear a few shirts from Phoenix Gold, but, do you carry the line?
welp, found a better place to ask a better question. I also own a Focus RS. The maestro equipment you used, is that specifically necessary for the Rockford Fosgate amps? If I wanted to use an Audio Control D-5.1300, could I go straight from the factory Sony amp to the high level input of the new amp?
I had the DSR1 in my Focus ST. While it was an excellent plug and play system, it was so finicky and temperamental, and eventually had a electrical short somehow and fried the whole system.... pulled it out and moved on.
Fernando is the Bob Ross of fuse holders😄. Making something as unassuming as a fuse holder look and function beautifully! Great job guys
Hey yeah bro! ☺😂❤
Those happy little fuses
You guys are wizards 95 percent of car audio installers would never take the time to do a job this clean! Beautiful
I stepped up my game so much on my current install getting ideas from you guys. Always appreciated.

@@robertarmstrong1140 huh? What media server? Thanx
I miss that car 🚙❤️
I got a new Supra for you guys to install a subwoofer
You guys are NEXT LEVEL installers. And I have been installing since the Punch 45 :)

I’ve been taking on my 17 focus RS as well! All because I saw you guys used a dsr1 and gave me the confidence thank you soooo much!!
I really needed this install for my 2020 mustang gt

im looking forward to fitting the tweets.
i put morel in my focus and had to make an entire custom location for them.
Yes it sounds awesome now?
Thanks for a new video I love watching and learning.
Yaaay install vids
Top work as always guys
Another Great Job Guys!
Love watching your channel guys. Thank you for sharing ❤
What is the stock speaker wiring capable of handling??? I noticed you guys did not run new wires from the doors to the rear.
Great install
If you had to do this again, would you recommend using a 5 channel amp and going active on the front stage?
Don’t know depends on the goals of the customer

Is this a reupload? Interesting choice to go with a 2 channel amp and use the passive crossovers.
It's definitely a re-upload, from years ago.
Wonder how long it took for that Amp board, sheesh?!

Hey guys! please make a proper tunig video with this DSP. i have installed this DSR1 in my car few weeks back. thanks

Did you guys do this install like 2 years ago? Funny I was just working with a client with a 2018 RS.
Yes I believe we did
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc Just letting you know I watch them all. 😁
Taking a leaf out of Dougs book I see😛
Front stage only.
Seriously though, good call. Not many would consider where old mate sits in the car
What did this run the customer? I also have an RS and would love something like this. Minus the sub and amp for it. I am running the JBL BassHub Pro.
Does it shake the car with bass I wouldn't mind 1 myself.
Any problems with the dsr1? Im thinking about getting one but have been reading about software issues

That's not just a focus its a RS focus the better version of ST
ST's are weak compared the RS.......accept for the head gasket issue on the 16's
@@itsneuman we don't talk about those issues ;)
u know ure audio guys whn u dont even mention its a frikkkin RS!
