Dean / Fernando, I been watching your video's for almost 2 years now. I'm infatuated with the level of details, knowledge, and technical understanding you guy possessed. I love how you guys keep up with the latest and greatest technologies. With that being said I need "911" on my Suburban but can never get through for an appointment. Please help
That wire management is OP. Making a mount like that and adding the holes for zip-ties... I'll have to steal that idea for my next strobe light install.
I just stumbled across this channel, thank you for opening my eyes on the engineering behind doing a proper installation as well as tuning it. There's a lot of aspects I never even thought about, such as delays, that I'll now use when I ultimately tackle my sound system. I look forward to checking out your other content.
Simplicity in sound, Matt Schaeffer and many more do much nicer stuff. Dean and Fernando do very basic installs but they do them technically perfect. How it should be as a professional.
I did custom installs back in the late 90's. I even had a couple vehicles in car audio magazines. Its amazing how much has changed with the quality of install option with modern tool. CNC, Laser, and more! nice work guys
I enjoyed how forwardly disappointed Dean was toward the reasons this is a legit 911. He was aggressive but not offensive. Found it very entertaining and refreshing. All in all, excellent info all around
@ril850 This kind of stuff adds up quicker than most people realize, particularly if you're having it done by a legitimate, professional installer. When I ordered my 2020 F150, I got the cheapest sound system available because I knew eventually I'd be upgrading. The installation should be done this afternoon. The only factory component that wasn't replaced was the sync 3 head unit. Just went with an amp that can process the factory signals properly (JL audio vx1000/5i). Can't wait to hear how it sounds.
Just subscribed, educational and professionally entertaining. On the installs i did on my own cars i've also always hooked the ground side of all components to the battery. Even without exact knowledge it just seemed to me it was better then using the body of the car.
The frame is fine, or even the body, assuming you've done the big 3 upgrade. There may be a tiny measurable difference in resistance but it surely doesn't matter on these low power installs this shop does. A lot of these systems are under are around 1K watts. I do both because I'm on 5K watts and that's overkill IMO
Wow!! I have that crossover and it looks super hard to use. I live in California, Bakersfield. Do you know of an experienced stereo shop that can tune my vehicle?? Great video I watched all of it!!
With regards to the F.A.S.T. Rings, I've found I have better results by attaching the outer ring to the door panel and then rolling the outer edge outside of the speaker surround. No trimming needed.
I also have Focal front and rear on my Raptor. Can I buy the Focal logo on the speaker grills and the Focal ribbon logo on the B&O logo? That looks awesome!
2:17 With that installer. it was all about the $$$ selling a product, instilling it. spending little to no time setting it up properly but charging the customer for a full service job.
love to watch your videos, how much a setup like this will cost?, im talking about labor, i'll include amps, subs, speakers and wiring! just to have a number in my mind
What do you guys do for Ford chimes. For example when door is open with key in ignition or while backing up. Chimes normally come from door speakers. However mine currently plays from a small speaker by my gauge cluster ever since i installed a 4 channel amp.
I wonder what you guys would have thought of my road kill application to my 99 Acura .. inside the door toward the outside skin..inside the door toward the car interior ..inside the door panel and against the surface the panel rests against ... super ..maybe excessive coverage ?? but as I applied it the labor was free
@@ricardomolina4605 yeah I did the entire interior of my car that way in the back seats also only thing I haven't done like that is the trunk where I only did the floor and the sides I have not removed the carpeting from the trunk lid and applied any of it there but I don't have a vibrating license plate like so many bass heads do so I'm satisfied with it
Am I wrong but isn’t the dsp kind of pointless in this application with the zen having those capabilities or is there something the zen can’t do to that needs the audio control unit
Hey guys, any chance at getting a small video on bass knobs? Us normal folks don't have a laser machine to make custom mounts but I figure with a drill and some screws I can do something special with mine!
this is hilarious. Some people just have too much money to blow. My guess is your experience could have made all of his equipment sound amazing. No need to pull it all out and put in new stuff. You said it yourself, that dsp was doing nothing... no wonder they werent happy with it.
Shame whole thing could be easily rewired correctly, tuned and maybe just change the fronts best comment of the year "pretty black box that does nothing" lol
Just got my 2021 with the B&O unleashed option (tweeters in the headrest and headliner). Super dissapointed in it, planning an overhaul so timing on this video is perfect! Going toslink, don't you lose the front to back fading? Also, do you prefer passive xovers to active xovers in a dsp?
If you care enough about the sound to ask, it's not going to be good enough for you. You know you're going to end up going aftermarket, so save the money on the factory "premium" stuff. Put the money toward your aftermarket setup. Just from my experience.
Looks like how my DSP settings were when I took my car to the shop. Thought I had a full tune, they called me and said it had NO tune on it 😂😂. Kinda infuriating when u pay that much money for an install
There are so many vehicles out there, I don't think it's worth it to manufacture so many different custom things like this when he's doing both installs and the UA-cam channel. I could maybe see someone using his previous files to print some things that might fit your specific application (car/speaker combo). But then again you can see in this video how much work it is to make a single bracket fit as well as he wants it to fit. Too much time for too little money.
@@qcsam9375 you don't do it for all, just some of the more popular. Like f150s. Sounds good audio does that. Or have templates ready to make then on demand (which they have loads of them saved)
pink noise and a rta to tune your stereo and you turn the subs up as high as you feel like without clipping of course. Stock stereos are garbage so I wouldn't bother tuning them
Its really sad seeing those JL amps being shamed in this manner BC used properly they would out perform that single amp. Not that that Focal is a bad amp just that with those 2 JL's ran correctly he would have been blown away
I'm having an issue with my memory wire after I accidentally put power to a sub I blew my memory in my last stereo got a new one but my acc wire seems to loose power I the morning and sometimes during the day I can't seem to figure out what's going on with the acc wire when I move my fuse for the acc it comes back on if it does not I move my ground terminal and then everything works again buy every morning seems I have to move my terminal wire.
@@hifiman4562 I actually found a short with my o2 sensor wire touching the motor and after I fixed that it is now saving memory no more moving my terminals either.
Your Windows laptops updates aren't the issue. If you pay attention and do the updates manually. You dont have to wait for them to be done at inconvenient times.
Surely by now the shop that did this originally has seen this. They probably think they did a good job too. And Dean is shitting all over their work. Lol.

Talk about going above and beyond! Amazing job guys.
Dean, you and Fernando do the best installs 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

How it should be as a professional.
Top notch work guys!!! Please please please wear ear protection when using the router and tablesaw ;)
Good advice for us all. Can’t enjoy installs we can’t hear.
Never get bored to watch these project videos. Awesome job...my dream to have my car done by Five Stars...Thanks
Same. I live local to them but don't think I could afford it. They're on a whole nother level.
I did custom installs back in the late 90's. I even had a couple vehicles in car audio magazines. Its amazing how much has changed with the quality of install option with modern tool. CNC, Laser, and more! nice work guys
Even if they dont see the small touches they hear it from the quality of the music,....
I want to see the customer reaction please!
You guys are just next level insane, I can't believe your level of work.
I enjoyed how forwardly disappointed Dean was toward the reasons this is a legit 911. He was aggressive but not offensive. Found it very entertaining and refreshing. All in all, excellent info all around
Do you guys put this much care and detail into each and every install? Your attention to detail, even the unseen things is just amazing.
Perfection as usual👌 love your work setting the bar for car audio installs
I really do enjoy the 911 series- great job.
Dang! You two are amazing!
Some people like paintings... but watching these videos is artwork to me.
Great work! Would be nice to see customer reactions to finished products... extra element of content 👍
Money is no object for this customer!
Oh man if I win the lotto you guys are doing my f150 lol ... amazing work... watched the video from start to finish thanks to my ADD :)
really like the attention to detail you put into build.....outstaning job guys
What does something like this cost equipment plus labour and materials
I wanna know too
You will never get an answer in the youtube comment section
Easily more than 5000. Probably quite a bit more, actually.

There is a reason why every manual says “as short as possible ground”
Does "Toshlink" kill anyone else? It's TOSLINK Dean.
He’s been calling it that for years and probably ain’t gonna change now that it’s so ingrained in him, 😂 LOL
I've watched this several times...luv it.
You guys do such amazing work and make awesome videos.
Wow!! I have that crossover and it looks super hard to use. I live in California, Bakersfield. Do you know of an experienced stereo shop that can tune my vehicle?? Great video I watched all of it!!

this is not an old episode?
I think it is an old episode. They have been stitching these together lately, which I enjoy as I don't have to find the next video in the series.
Even makes the focal badges... 👏
it's the attention to detail for me... instant follow off top. I wish you all were my local shop. faaaawk
Great work! 👍
If I was the customer I would link your youtube video to the shop that did the first install email 😂😂
Take a little run and buff and hit those focal speaker grill logos to get a matching metal or brushed metal look!
Awesome, Awesome video and work!
Excellent video! What kind of screws do you guys use to mount the amps, DSPs, and crossovers to the PVC?
I bet if you cut EVA foam on the Glowforge, you can get an exact “gasket” for the speakers.
I also have Focal front and rear on my Raptor. Can I buy the Focal logo on the speaker grills and the Focal ribbon logo on the B&O logo? That looks awesome!
Obviously, you take the door panel off. Yes, correct!
I know it's not supposed to be funny, but I fn love it. lol
And quality of sound
Subscribed 5 min in... you just used foam tape on the speaker brackets?
1st, Dude you guys are banging them out!
Where have this channel been?? Love it!

Noticed you used toslink to connect Zen and DSP vs RCAs… can you explain pros and cons?
I guess it’s not active because the customer didn’t want to have more channels of amplification.
Aluminum chassis aren't isolated in OE electrical are they ? ..why are you worried about aluminium for ground?
customer reactions might be cool too. what do you think?

Do you ever show customer reactions after the install.
I would like to see how the bass knob looks finished if you have it
Yesssss
I ground to the body and on the backside of the grounding bolt i ground to the frame then add more battery grounds.
Do you guys sell tweeter mounts for F150’s to the public?
What is the polarity test app you use? How do you use it to test the speaker. I just bought the FWH polarity tester. Could you help me out? Thanks.
Ear fatigue is real. Nothing like trying to set my old Image Dynamics 31 band EQs by ear.

Yo that clock you have in the shop is sick, where can i buy one like it?
Ok Dean. How much for an install like this?
What are your suggestions for highs for a 2018 Camaro ss. I would come have you install it but I’m in pittburgh we’re are you located
Has anyone installed the Hertz Cento Pro CPK 690 in an F150 and if so how do they sound?
How much does the average custom stereo install cost? Replace factory speakers, subs, amps, and dsp?

Expanded PVC crazy prices
Just got my 2021 with the B&O unleashed option (tweeters in the headrest and headliner).
Super dissapointed in it, planning an overhaul so timing on this video is perfect!
Going toslink, don't you lose the front to back fading? Also, do you prefer passive xovers to active xovers in a dsp?
Active is always better
Sound treatment to see where it is at? But maybe the sound treatment that he has is just around the speakers, hah.,..
Silly me i was thinking different kind of roadkill .
Just a quick question. Is the stock B and O worth the extra upcharge? or should I delete it from my Shelby?
If you care enough about the sound to ask, it's not going to be good enough for you. You know you're going to end up going aftermarket, so save the money on the factory "premium" stuff. Put the money toward your aftermarket setup. Just from my experience.
what brand laser cutting you recomend to do tamplate for speaker?
great work custom
Es una cortadora láser Glowforge.
Usaron acrílico negro de 1/8” (3mm) y mdf de 4mm para hacer la montura de los tweeters.
Need ya'll too do a video on the newer Grand Cherokee's

How can u help someone to tune their dsp?
Looks like how my DSP settings were when I took my car to the shop. Thought I had a full tune, they called me and said it had NO tune on it 😂😂. Kinda infuriating when u pay that much money for an install
how about a crown vic/Marauder/grand Marq install
You're more than welcome to bring yours in. What do you think, they just pull random cars out of their hats.
Bro, to grow your business, you should sell precut boards and "kits" for these installs. Like block off plates for doors and such .
There are so many vehicles out there, I don't think it's worth it to manufacture so many different custom things like this when he's doing both installs and the UA-cam channel.

I feel like that was a long time. Be nice if they showed elapsed time.
Please can you send me the link?
