Those Mesos are power hungry. They really liven up when you crank the volume and sound incredible! I installed them in my daughter's car and I love her setup. Nice tight, punchy bass from the components and the tweeters are not ear piercingly high. CT Sounds are a hidden gem, especially if you are on a budget.
Adding MLV to the doors will help with sound depth and output!
Also for setting gains…
There are special tools (SMD DD1 etc) or cheaper options (Piezo buzzer trick, Voltmeter) to set gains properly by using tech and not the human ear. I’d recommend looking into those options and maybe adding a single slim sub behind the seats! That would seriously complete the sound system
Today's "Like" moment was when you used the q-tip to paint the bare edges of the holes you cut for the speakers. Bravo! You might want to try some foam baffles behind the larger door speakers to see how that changes the sound. I love the idea of a slim sub somewhere. You can then high-pass the current speakers and let the sub handle the low duties. What about grills?
That's alot of sound for a single cab...love it!! Covering the speakers with that leather was a great move....looks amazing
Really enjoying all the different types of projects you’ve done on this truck. Can’t wait to see the engine build
Those door pods turned out sweet. I did that stuff as a job back in the 90s, you did a really good job with that. I'm sure everyone is going tell you, you need a sub, but if it sounds good it sounds good. There's only so much room in that tiny cab. You nailed it man.
One way that Ive had good luck with tuning my amp in the past, is using pink noise frequency. Seems like you have it pretty well dialed. Loving the build! Ive been a subscriber since you built the red truck. Youve helped me and inspired me to build my 3rd gen 4Runner. Love all your builds. Im hoping soon to build my 1989 pick up like your hilux
I admire your craftsmanship and attention to detail
its coming together really well. love your attention to details in your builds. keep it up brosef
Sounded WAY better than I was expecting! Had one of these when I was a kid and audio definitely wasn't a thing in that truck! Nice work.

Love your professionalism and attention to detail with this build! If you do some sound treatment on the doors (cld tiles aka dynamat on the inner door skins, and mass loaded vinyl on the back of the door cards) the sound quality difference will be night and day! On the tuning side, once you get the time alignment settings dialed in it will be perfect.
Love the threaded inserts! 1st time watching, saw ur attention to detail. Great info on the 'glassing.
I admire your work Austin, you’re very through
Another good job! Well done, wizard!
Quality work! Nice job!
I've been running the CT Sounds Meso 3 way 6.5" components for a while. They're great, will be upgrading to a set of Morels at some point
Awesome work dude!! 🙌🏼
That's one nice set up mate .
I have a body who builds speaker housings like this. He uses spandex, but the process is just the same. Speaker setup looks pretty cool.
Great job like always
If you're particular about sound, play through the USB input on the head unit (cable or a thumb drive) since bluetooth will compress the signal.
Sounds real clear.
That is looking so good 👍
The build is coming along nicely bro 👌
That is so cool thank you. I been a subscriber since the start of big red
Thanks for the video! I’m hoping to one day have the time and money to go ahead and do some of these projects on my first gen Tacoma.
Great build!
Def nice 3way set up might want to in the future make he he door speakers have grills you'll always know not to kick the speaker but a passenger will def kick one
Sounds amazing. Your builds are second to none. Your builds are amazing ! Great content great build once again. VERY entertaining. Not a fan of speaker holes but you made them worthwhile. Looks and sounds great. Wonder what a wide body would look like with your talent? It seems like you can tackle any style of build
I had an old Suzuki samurai that was missing the plastic top. I made one using polyester fleece and glass resin. It came out really decent.
Im learning so much with every video.....i have a 99 toyota Corolla station wagon and its a shit box now...but im think of doing something similar
I would be so worried of kicking those nice speaker so I would personally put covers on them, definitely should put sound deadening inside the door see if you can make a weather or moisture shield Also I just recently bought the s8 standard they are such a great head unit also the time delay just set it to 0s on all speakers
As always love quality of everything you build
You are 1of 3 ppl on TH-cam I’ve seen with CT sounds 3piece set , best kept secret apparently
Beautifull job 👍
I’m excited for this
Hey, I recently just got the same headunit and if you want to use apply carplay you have to use the USB wire with the sticker CARLINK on it. Then you press the middle button on the touch screen with the multiple squares and click on carlink on the top right.
I have seen different people do bondo after the resin and fiberglass is where you want it. Its pretty cool to watch. Also sprayway customs has good info you
I actually thought you were going to carbon fiber the speaker pods to match the housing around the head unit, but this looks good as well with the leather.
Looks great.
I have the Meso 3 ways in my s10 crew cab with old school RF Power 360. I think they sound great. Blew the tweets and crossovers so using some Precision Power C/O and Kicker resolution r22’s. The r22 really livened it up for my taste in music. I’d used em again
Dang that was a good opportunity for some kick panel mounted midbass
Sounds impressive
Im new to your channel, i think i will stick around specially for this build
Circle jig was pretty cool.
Good job bro from Moorea 👍
Very impressive.
vacuum sealing works too and provides a better finish
did I just see you use thread lock on wood?
Nice job brother. I'm suggesting you must add slim sub hoover rear your chair to boost bass
Myn South African brother 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦from another mother😆😆😆
Hey brother love the videos. Keep up the good work. Just wondering if you have ever tried a small foam paint roller when working with fiberglass. It works great.
Set the HPF (high pass filter) in the head unit to 80 htz to keep from blowing your 6.5”. The cross overs that came with them will only cross over the top end frequencies of that driver so you need to set the bottom end from the head unit or by using the HPF on the amp if it has one.
that wouldnt be a HPF, it would be LPF.
HPF is top end frequency cut off.
LPF is low end frequency cut off..
@@bradlycriswell1990 you got it backwards man. High pass let’s the highs pass through your filter. Low pass let’s the low pass through your filter. So whatever you set your high pass at, everything there and above it will play.
It really helps when you see a graph like I do on my headunit when setting it. Seeing the slope and etc it’ll make it so you don’t make that mistake lol I always use to get those 2 mixed all the time tho
Hello a great video perfect job 👍👍👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai 🙏🛠🔊
Good video, but one thing about having a mid that low is loss of midrange. the mid should be higher up in the door or near the tweeter so they can be prominent and heard. Def set a crossover at 80hz and cut at 24db slope to drop the low frequencies out of it.
Looks epic Austin 🍒
انت مبدع

CTSounds is 🔥
Man, those pods came out nice. THe EQ should be set to compensate or decrease as needed. distortaion will happen when the amp sends a distrorted signal but this is depenant on the voltage the head unit puts out. my guess is that head unit puts out 1.5V clean 2.3Volts max but distorted. Ideally you want to know where the head unit distorts. I would also cross those over at 80hz. 55-65hz if you are not using a sub. In theory you want the 3" and tweet as close as possible and high up. Unless they play well off axis. Good job either way for a starter.
Add some sound deanding in the doors
Cool install nice job. What subs are you putting in next?
Those 6.5” speakers are not designed to play 40 hz. You should use a 1000hz track to set the gains for them. Also, the gains are ALWAYS the first thing you set and you do it with no sounds creatures on and with a flat EQ.
Door panels are a moist environment, make sure you protect the back of the speakers, and your MDF/partical board panels from any dripping rain water from the window seal. They make foam cups for that. Some sound deadener on the door panels will help too. Nice job on the pods, I was surprised how smooth they turned out without using body filler.
Hey I'm rebuilding my 77 sr5 hilux at the moment , and of the main things I wanted to do when doing this rebuild was minimize as much outside sound pollution as possible. I don't plan on putting speakers in my doors , but what material is usually used internally in the doors to help deaden that sound ?
@@timothy2935 If you inspect modern door construction you will find a little goes a long way, but if you aren't concerned about weight, cover the outer door skin and inner door skin with dynamat or similar product. An additional layer of closed cell foam also helps but given the construction of these vehicles there may not be room for both. Covering the floor, firewall, and head liner will also help. You'll never get the interior as quiet as a modern car simply because window seals and glass thickness limits you, but it will make an improvement.
Very nice
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 looks great, sounds awesome
Imagine how good it will sound with real music 😎
That sound system is so clean! Keep up the great videos!
I am always impressed with the stuff you do Austin! Sometimes it’s like you’re just showing off though. I mean honestly, when you say stuff like I have never done this before and it just turns out amazing like those speakers. It makes for some awesome videos though. Thanks for the great content. Keep it up!
Great first fiber glassing project. DM me if you have questions about audio tuning. I'm in Wenatchee.
Good video. Where you located bro?
Hey Austin, how's it going? Great job 👍 with the sound system. Can you please share all the track names of the music you used in this video. I would really appreciate it.
Hey bro put some sound deadening on inner door skin behind the speakers to reduce vibration and metal resonance 👊🏼
Sounds goood! How does it sound nows
Cooooolllll truck brOs👌💙♥️🤑🤠😎🤓🥸
NICE Are you going to be putting any subs Or a camper's shell on the back of the truck ?
Some badabin badaboom vibes 😎
Dam!!! You don't even need a subwoofer. That 6.5 woofer is all you need
try leaving the deck's eq flat, and the amp on full range. with the external crossovers that went into the kick panels you shouldn't need to mess with any of the deck or amp crossovers. all your adjustments should happen at the external crossovers and set the gains with a DD-1 or an osciliscope.
This is not correct. You still have to set the high pass filter. 80 hz is where you want it at. Keep eq on radio flat, turn the radio to 3/4 and set gains on amp.
idk if you read the comments now but i can explain something that is kind of helpful to solve the "no distortion at full volume" thing. Set the headunit EQ to flat and turn the gain all the way down on the amp. Play a low test tone (40hz) and turn the volume up on the headunit until you hear distortion. Everybody says that you should have the volume to about 75% because it is common that headunits start to distort at that point. Some head units will distort even beffore 75% and in your case it is not distorting at all at 75%. when you hear distortion back the volume down 2 clicks just to be safe and never turn the volume up more than that, then set the gains on the amp by keeping your headunit at that volume while setting the gain and also max volume on your phone. keep turning up the gain until you hear it is starting to distort then turn it down a little bit until there is no more distortion. For the highpass filter i would suggest you check on the box the speaker came in and look at the frequency range it is rated for and then set the highpass according to that and maybe a little bit higher. For example if the woofer is rated for 20- 300 hz, set the highpass to about 30 or the bottom if your amp highpass filter can not go that low. Sorry for this long text but i just want you to get the most out of your system while still sounding good! really nice doorpanels btw!

Dynamat or killmat those door skin interiors. Will add significant weight to the door and kill all that metal ringing sound when closing them.
My old Toyota pickup sounds like it has solid Cadillac doors now....
My gains are all the way up yo! SMH
Wow 👍
You should try Focal
The resin will cure and reduce the tackyness without a cover after a couple of days.
This hilux is gonna be next level.
Looks like you need speaker grills since the speaker sit so low on the door - don't need any accidental punctures of the speakers.
Nice job brotha. Question,, how did you mount the pods?
Thanks! I did threaded inserts and screws from the inside
I sure hope them speakers have screen covers on them, cause the first time a foot or mud gets against them you'll be sending out for replacements.
So. My two cents from a installer perspective. This is to help. Not taking crap. The Mids/Tweets you have (not the midbass) would have been better suited more forward in the kicks where crossovers are located with the tweeter. Or you could mount the mid where the tweeter is at currently and make a mount for the tweeter. I mean within 2 inches at most in proximity to midrange. This is to help with phase issues. Tweeter does not blend as it should with midrange further away in this orentation. A lot of people do not install 3 way setups correctly and work best when together in one area (Tweet Mid Midbass within inches of each other) You could mount the tweet and mid in the dash too. Better thicker guauge wire is key,However not nessicary. Spade terminals are awesome for crossovers. Not knocking the skill set at all. Just trying to help you sound much better. Speakers need to be as close to a "Triangle" configuration where you are in the center. Left Speakers , Right Speakers and you in the center far enough back where you complete the triangle to give you a soundstage and phantom image for "stereo!"
😎 cool
I use to be a professional car audio installer. For small projects you should check out sunflash because UV hardens the fiberglass resin and it’s odorless.
But for real audio you want the tweeter closer to your vocal driver to help with time alignment. You won’t need as much DSP to get the sound stage setup. I would have made kicks for the mid bass so you didn’t need to cut into those doors and I would have made pods for the a-pillars.
Laminating resin is fine. I use both laminating and structural depending on the project. You can do overhead and upside down layup if you use the right resin for the project. I’ve used both polyester and grill cloth to lay up projects.
If you don’t follow SMD Steve Mead you should check him out. He’s legit and not far from me.
I’d throw in some SecondSkin in the doors, the floor, the roof and the back of the cab. I can’t even hear my 7.3 Diesel going down the road now after doing my F250. It’s a great product and they sell what’s called B-Stock which is miscuts or left overs from other orders. It’s the exact same product but much cheaper because they are not all the exact same size sheets. It will drop 20BD out of the road noise.
Not sure what crossover slope is offered on that head unit but if it’s 16 or 24 I’d use that not the crossover in the amp because it will be far more accurate.
If it’s 24 you could wire it active and not even use the passives.
Overall this was a great project. Can’t wait to see this Yoda completed. I’ll follow ya.
❤ love from Pakistan.
Literally doing great work bro.
👌
Please complete this truck
When I am free I open TH-cam specially open your channel to see video is uploade or not🤣
Know Which Engine you can instal in it???
Somebody has been watching Spray Way Customs lol
Hi bro! nice yota and nice build, i have a 75 and i really want to rewiring it, it has a ka24e engine i own it with the swap, do you have the service manual??? i cant find it :/
Get some under the bed speaker!!! Some Marine speakers!!!
Add some sound deadener to your doors
حلو 👏🏻
Hi ✋✋ by chance, do you have a recommendation for workshop shoes. am on cement floors all-day.?
GLOVEEEEEEES
Pull the windows back out and put sound deadener in as much of the doors as you can.
Austin, along those lines I’ve put dynamat/killmat on the back of my door card. Should help the audio and keep out some road noise too.
You make a great job with the soundboard. But why do you use this black leather? Ok its more work, but why do you dont paint it black or you laminate carbon over the nice shaping Soundboard? You have make the full pre work for that. And you can make a improvement to the soundboard, drill smal hols in the back of the un used section and spray hard foam (the non expanding after spraying) in it. So you have one solid part. And it is stiffer from the out side, and it beware from cracks in the fiberglas (my brother works in a car hifi store).
That bass is awfully close to the floor and to your clumsy friends boot heels so I hope you’re going to put a screen or a grate over top of it anyway looks awesome
El subwoofer da un sonido ambiental los medios y altos rangos son de sonido direccional ponte listo
