I had the priverledge to see this car in person at the EMMA -uk finals at NY500 what a great day and also a chance to meet Peter and Eddie and see the excellent work in person also me and my wife were made to feel most welcome thankyou
I’m glad you had a great time and sorry I didn’t manage to show you more cars. As you could see i’m always busy on these meetings and competitions. 😃🔊🔊
Once more knocked it out of the park, stunning build with some of the best equipment out there, as you mentioned tuning makes all the difference so hopefully more and more people out there understand this is the vital piece most shops out there lacks. Hopefully soon enough we can show another extreme build tune right by you and the magic it can achieve :) year maybe two :D
I watched an install on the same model of car last week b,y Five Star Car Stero, your install is 100 times nicer as the one by Five Star was a stealth install for an older customer. Brilliant job as usual. :)
Awesome build, your attention to detail is excellent and watching your videos you can clearly see the passion you have for great audio. I can only dream of having such a system but hopefully one day that may become possible. The only thing I was disappointed with after watching 32 minutes was not being able to hear it in some form as with previous videos of yours there's a demo. Great work though very impressive
Looks superb mate, i saw this when it was nearly done but this latest update really shows the difference from when i saw it, love it ! those accutons, not a bad speaker are they :) Also i like the boot space, keep that thinking cap warmed up !
beautiful build as usual Peter - I am blown away by the trunk - I am working out in my head how you did the design (via router I am assuming with a groove bit and some creative guides clamping? :P) you are so right about tuning - I just did a custom build in my golf R and pushed my skills to the next level for install, all due to your videos, and I am very happy with results even though it is far from perfect (I wish I had time to do proper pillars like you but went stock location and 2-way speakers in front) but spent lots of time tuning (was my first time with DSP and tuning - but watched tons of your tuning vids and it really came in handy) and was very happy with results - the tuning made the biggest difference overall in sound quality for sure!!!
Fantastic build and fantastic channel! I have a previous generation cayenne. I wonder if you had a look is IB midbass even a viable/reasonably doable option in a Cayenne or there is too much wiring and other stuff on the way? I have the Burmester system and it has no midbass whatsoever...
Nothing is impossible, but most people wouldn’t spend 50-100h labour on a proper midbass install, let alone letting us cutting the car up. We may do enclosures on the doors for midbass in this one in the future.
Lovely boot build. You do fantastic work Peter (and the PS sound gang). I'm sure the Helix DSP does a great job, but in the context of the whole system, surely the owner didn't save that much over the HDSP-V?
Hey Peter, Beautiful build as always. I'm curious what you thought of the Morel subwoofer? Are they as accurate as they say? Are they worth the $ to you? What would you suggest instead? Other than IB of course. Staying with a 12 in an enclosure.
Yes it is a very very accurate sub. Price is very steep and most people won’t justify it for sure. I hope to hear this sub in 2 of the cars we fitted them in once they run in as below 25Hz i’m not fully satisfied yet, but that may improve once they loosen up. For most daily systems i’d rather use something more affordable and something that can have more output from a single 12”, like JL W3, W6 or Focal 30KX. The Morel is rather insensitive.
@@pssound9749 thankx Peter! Have another question regarding ib subwoofer applications. I have a Lexus sedan with a ski hole but no folding rear seat. I want to try an ib subwoofer and was wondering if playing through the rear seat would drastically reduce output? Behind the rear seat is just braced and not completely sealed off. So it would basically just be playing through the seat foam. I would also open the ski hole fully. This vehicle also has a 12in factory subwoofer in the rear deck so could also do a rear package shelf ib system. What do you think would be the best way to go about designing an ib system for this type of setup?
Hello Peter, great work and great stuff you've shared as always. I have one question - if there was an option on this build for a true IB subwoofer (let's say 12" Acoustic Elegance to compare the same sizes) would you prefer it over this closed enclosure build sound wise? I am in the middle of planning a HI-END system like this (component wise) in my Astra combi, have the possibility to go either with a true IB sub solution (in the spare wheel space) or a closed cabinet solution like here on your build and not have decided for a final solution yet. If the true IB sub solution would be far superior to the closed enclosure I would go that route. But if you say both instalation methods are very comparable sound wise, I would probably chose the enclosure. I am here mainly for the sound but this enclosure build looks bloody awesome 😀👍. PS: I will be using 10" front sub in a closed enclosure in the front passengers foot space and 8" mid-basses under the front seats in a true IB as well. Thank you.
Hi, if you have a front sub, then rear IB-sub is the way to go, no chance to get anything close to IB performance with the suitable subwoofer. However, for IB at the back to cover the sub 40Hz range, you want min a 15”, 12” will run out of displacement quicker.
@Pssound May I know why Accuton Midrange is not used in the stock Dash location for corner loading and if I'm not wrong this is the first time you are using Steg amps and Morel Sub. You said many times Acoustic Elegance subs are the most transparent ones, are SPB 15 not considered for this build? Is morel better than Acoustic elegance SPB15?
Dash location in this one is tiny, you can only fit a tweeter there or a 2” wideband, hence the pillars. SPB would need a huge sealed box or IB. None of those options were doable in this one.
Thinking of getting a new car but what interiors work best for sound systems and quite a lot of bass? That you have built before. Like Mercedes, Range Rover or lexus? Some brand like that.
@@pssound9749 thinking like a thousand Watts rms I listen to drum and bass so I need some bass. But not too much where it sounds shit or makes me deaf lol.
Premium cars have less issue with rattles in general. You may rather have to figure out what type of cabin you will have and how you can get the bass to the front from the back.
Is it a waste to use high end systems with CarPlay? It’s a struggle I had for a long time, right now I’m playing music through a dap but i like the convenience of music streaming especially when I want to explore new music
@@pssound9749 that could be right. Maybe because of the fact that I am “running them in” in the same cabinet, with a little diameter adjustment of course to fit, as the Aliante’s. The magnet structure an the basket off the Morel is quite bigger, takes up more liters. Anyway, nice build 👍.
@@pssound9749 Hi Peter, it’s been a while we chatted about the Morel subwoofer. It got me thinking, how do you see the Focal 10WM in comparison to the Ti subwoofer. I got my hands on two 10WM’s, and I must say they sound vey impressive for a 10 inch. I believe you don’t often use them for your installs, but on the other hand the tweeters, midranges and woofers of the Utopia you do.
Sure, i’m also waiting for a client who wants to get those installed, let alone if Thomas can make them, cuz as far as i know it’s not possible to buy the mid+midbass right now.
@@pssound9749 yeah thats right its 3x the utopia M set price. it was a big step for me to get the 3 way utopia M set already, trying to get this would get me a divorce 😂
1. Does it have a controller like the Conductor, so it can be fitted seamlessly in a modern interior like this? 2. Does it have differential processing for rearfill? 3. Does it have centrefill algorithm for daily systems? 4. Does it have 30band of fully parametric eq on each channel? 5. Does it have master eq? 6. Does it have signal detection for auto input switch? 7. APTX BT streaming?
@@pssound9749 I know that for a couple of years these processes have been the best in the world in terms of sound quality. Otherwise, you need to contact the developer) I have a madbit processor)
@@pssound9749 Now, if you want to take a high place in car audio competitions, then use Resolut or Madbit Ultra. At the price of helix, they buy either madbit or kontur from us)
@@pssound9749 This is unlikely, since its price is much higher than that of helix. But for most of the people who do your projects, I think this is not a problem)
Finally a Cayenne that deserves the Porsche badge. You created a future collector’s item. Great job.
Another amazing build Peter, no one makes it like you .your style and creativity is second to none .much respect from Puerto Rico!! 💯🔥
That morel, looks like a work of art, in that enclosure.
Job well done.
Watch the whole video and you’ll see! 😃

Truly a top notch installation and customer experience 🤘🏽
Amazing craftsmanship as usual Peter. Love to see a demo video with owner with some drum tracks👍🏻

Clients’ preferences are always different, but we certainly have a “style” when it comes to performance and design. 🔊🔊
Tunning is a Major Major Major aspect. Just as important as mastering and mixing in music productions.

I love the look of this install Peter! Your installs keep getting better and better!!
Peter thank you for taking your time to make the video buddy. Your the greatest.
Amazing as always
Lovely as usual Peter 👏
Thank you PSS
Fantastic work and a great sounding car, the video doesn't do it justice.
Amazing!!!
so stylish and beautiful trunk, awesome!
If I lived in the UK I would definitely Bring my car there👍
Nice work Peter!!🎉
Enjoying this one now...
Beautiful 😮
Great work , subscribed
Very. Very, very nice.
It's your fault I constantly dream of a way too relocate my door speakers in my focus.!
Nice build.
Amazing I love it👍👍👍👍

It’s not a small difference, almost £2k difference.
Beautiful job.what material did you cover the sub panel in? And pillars?
Pillars are Milano Suede, boot is real Alcantara.
🥳🥳🤩🤩
Love your work. Do you happen to know/recommend anyone in the US for an IB build. Specifically, the Atlanta, GA area.
Hi, you could join the “automotive infinite baffle” group on Fb and drop a post there. Someone can surely recommend a shop close to you.

Hi Peter, question; was it your idea or your clients idea to use the Morel subwoofer. And how it did perform with the front stage in your opinion?
It was my choice. There’s not much on the market that would be so accurate as this sub. The owner is a drummer, so accuracy was priority.
@@pssound9749 Good choice. I bought two 124 and was impressed too. After the Aliante's best I've heard. They only need more liter’s.
@@umtbozkr2358 well, we had them in 28L in the BMW 6GT and 40L in this Porsche and the low-end extension didn’t show much difference tbf.
@@pssound9749 that could be right. Maybe because of the fact that I am “running them in” in the same cabinet, with a little diameter adjustment of course to fit, as the Aliante’s. The magnet structure an the basket off the Morel is quite bigger, takes up more liters. Anyway, nice build 👍.

I believe you don’t often use them for your installs, but on the other hand the tweeters, midranges and woofers of the Utopia you do.
Question on these systems is there any fussy/white/hissing noise?
You shouldn’t have anything audible if you use the right equipment and set up well.
Peter, still waiting for a comparison with Micro Precision Z-Studio.
Sure, i’m also waiting for a client who wants to get those installed, let alone if Thomas can make them, cuz as far as i know it’s not possible to buy the mid+midbass right now.
@@pssound9749 I have a pair of tweeter and midrange. But you are so far away.
utopia M comparison to this accuton? worth the difference?
It is worth the difference, but the price difference is huge and most people can’t afford that with the cost of the installation too.
@@pssound9749 yeah thats right its 3x the utopia M set price. it was a big step for me to get the 3 way utopia M set already, trying to get this would get me a divorce 😂
Utopia M is not worth the money. Anybody who has experience in this area knows it. Only the 8inch bass seems to be very good, but the price is huge.
it's time to switch to processor Resolut 😉
1. Does it have a controller like the Conductor, so it can be fitted seamlessly in a modern interior like this?
2. Does it have differential processing for rearfill?
