Great install! Really impressed! Two things stood out that make your shop extra special: 1 -You took the time and effort to protect the car with wrap. 2 -Your shop has a closed off area where the material cutting is done. Helps contain the dust and keeps the install bay (and cars) clean.
Yes, we have worked really hard to treat our clients cars the best we can. But like all shops, we had to work hard to get to this point. You can see this evolution if you watch our other videos from a few years ago. Thanks Again!!!
I love this work as well but for 20gs seems like a little much but in any case i say thats a come back 10 cars per yr atleast 100+ thousand i may switch professions...those machines pay for themselves 20 times every few yrs
I really miss shops like this. Hopefully this industry makes a come back. Hard to find an installer like this these days. That stealth install was super precise all the time I'm thinking we'll there goes the trunk space..end result 👌 👏..
Appreciate it!! I agree and hope these videos inspire others to take pride in what they do everyday.
dude there are a shit ton of great shops around...
@@iDAV8 when I had my stereo done 10+yrs ago there were a few shops around..great...maybe 3 in the metropolex.. 1 catered to pro athletes with ridiculous prices. now..none and I'm in a big city metroplex..this isn't a car toys install..
Depends on what type of system you are looking for. Not many high-end integration and tuning specialists, but rather more simplistic, large bass and output type of shops. Hopefully these videos can inspire more shops.
@@iDAV8 yes but they get easily overshadowed by the crappy shops, if your not in the industry you’ll probably hit the crappy shops before hitting the good ones.i know because I’ve failed in this industry lol
It's the small details that add up to quality. Just things like putting plastic protective wrap on the vehicle FIRST, before you ever remove a panel And vacuuming out the sub box after you've drilled holes. Can't tell you how many pounds of sawdust I've found inside sub boxes supposedly made by "pros." Really nice shop, btw. Great design. Having the woodshop physically walled off from everything else keeps the dust and noise "over there" so the installers can work in peace and the sales floor portion stays clean and quiet as well. It all adds up!
Hey guys Previous 10 year MECP installer here, just want to say how much I can really appreciate the attention to detail you guys have!
Thanks!! We appreciate the support and compliments!
@@SoundsGoodStereo for
Need a ton more of these! Awesome work!
Working on it!
The attention to detail and work you guys do is amazing.
I wish we could get some sound demos though......
We are working on a way to show everyone how they perform
Absolutely dig your guys videos , really informative and entertaining, please keep them coming …
Thanks!!!
Omg so happy you guys have put up another vid 😁
Yes!! We are too!! Hope you enjoy it and we have another one coming next week!
Anazing work as always guys, love youe alls work and videos. Keep them coming so this SQ head can have some quality entertainment!
Thanks!! We are working on more videos! Next weekend, craziest build we have ever done 👍👍
Love, love , love these longer videos!
So glad! We are not TH-cam experts, but we just want to show everyone what we do and this video was long.. But I left alot in the video for those that want to dive in deeper into our installs.
Awesome as always!! Glad to see another video!!
More to come! Thanks
Just did an install on my 21 Mustang GT...same interior as the Shelby. You guys did a great job! That sub enclosure was hot! I loved how you make it look so easy pulling panels and wiring the system. It took me a day to do the doors and A-pillars, which I may open up again to install some foam around the 6.5s. Keep up the great work!
This made my day. Thank you!!
You fellas really done a great job! And you are not too far away from me. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you! Another video in the works now. If you enjoyed this one, you are going to love the next one.
Sweet!!! Been missing your vids lately! Thats one slick install!
Thanks!! We have some other crazy videos in the works, just so busy at times to grab the GoPro 👍
Your work is top tier and I love watching your strategies and execution. I was an installer for over 20 years, on and off. But I was the senior installer at a premier shop for 9 consecutive years until the 2008 recession. EVERYBODY in town closed!! We lost Sound Advice, Circuit City, and half a dozen independent shops including mine.
I don't know what kind of MDF you're using but I used a material called Trupan Ultralite from Chile and it was lighter and more dense than typical home improvement store stuff. It machined and sanded easily and wasn't prone to splitting.
One practice I always had when building boxes was to paint the internal portion of the box with latex paint to prevent material 'breathing'.
Even today I dabble because once you've done car audio - stock is never adequate. I am a fan of JL Audio and Focal and to this day I still utilize both in my own vehicles.
As always great work guys! Team work makes the dream work!
Yes it does! Thanks again!!
Live in middle Tennessee....never knew one of the highest quality custom audio shops was so close ....although I could never even dream to afford the kinda stuff your working on or the components....it is nice to see the little tricks and such you use with the router and other equipment to just make the install a little touch above.....I am currently restoring a 1998 S 10 et.cab ....and doing all the work myself....stated on the inside of truck gutted it.....sanded primed and sealed all metal surfaces ....then done as close to 100 percent coverage of all panels with sound and heat shield....floor pans, back of cab roof,and doors ....As I said I couldn't afford components you used but I did add a single din alpine cd multimedia head unit ....made some custom inserts to do 6.5 mids in door and a 3in tweeter in door panel added 2 more 6.5 in rear of cab along with some 6x9 co axles in custom box replacing the old fold down seats ....added a 8 in memphis mojo 900rms 1600 peak sub with ported enclosure....running 1 4 channel orion class a/b amp for all the mids and his and a skar audio rp1500.1 mono amp for sub ....built a custom floor in extended cab to level the floor and hide all wires.....of course did 1 gauge ofc into a distortion block with digital read out with 2 strands of 4g ofc to amps ....and used ofc wiring throughout the build .....plan on adding more later ....so I am so glad I ran across this before I did any of the finish work like the carpet ....I know my build is no where in the same class as the amazing stuff you do but one can still learn from watching even if your not able to afford the type of gear you install....so thanks
Great movie 🍿 can't wait for the next one. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! It was long, but hopefully full of content you enjoy! Next one will be long also!!
Awesome stuff. You do really nice work.
Thanks!!!
Dean from five star requested someone watch this. He said this was a slick build. I have time today so I'm going to watch this while I do busy work.
Awesome!!!!!
Welcome back
Yes!! We have some more videos on the way, hope you enjoy them👍
Fantastic, but would have loved to have seen it light up. Unreal, I had no idea what went into a professional installation great job guys.
Glad you enjoyed it
That’s a beautiful job!!
Thanks!!!
Awesome video lads
Thanks 👍
Nice work 👏
Thanks ✌️
great work
Thanks
Outstanding video full of good information and how to's, I remember asking you at mastertech would you have any new work to film so I thank you guys for the video content
Your welcome and thanks again for checking it out
I really like what you’re doing with the 5-channel amps. One for each side for a complete active system. I’m sure it sounds amazing!
Yes, simple concept, amazing sound quality / power!
WOW WHAT A GREAT JOB
Appreciate it!!
I see your shop has changed hands and got new people.
Not changing of hands, but rather adding people to the team. We transitioned from a high-end retail store to TH-cam and online sales. That transition is hard for some people but the core is what Sounds Good Stereo stands for has always been the same. Just finding the right team members that fit this mold is a challenge.
i liked it with out all the fluff on top
I watched this from beginning to end. Absolutely amazing work. I cringed a little when you were using the router though. Fingers close brother.
I cringe in person too, but it’s Sage… so much confidence and experience with routers.
Nice, glad you guys are doing well, I remember meeting Sage at a car show in Ft. Laud while back, nice guy.
Yes, we are still going at it, just in Tennessee now. Thanks for checking out the videos, much apprciated!
@@SoundsGoodStereo amazing work
We don't get to see it lit up!?! Boo. lol....Nice work. Came out awesome!
I know, thanks for checking out the video. We thought we had filmed the lighting but did not. We have some more cool projects lined up, so we will make it up to you lol
at first i was like.. no freaking way would it cost $20k for a stereo system.. but after watching.. yeah.. you put in some work on that.. !!! amazing
Thanks Gary!! We appreciate you checking out the video
Love to hear the sound test of the Mustang.
Gotta find it at a car show or come to our facility. No way possible for us to showcase how these perform, even the customers agree when they hear it in person.
Best audio sistem for me
Great video! I installed for iasca competition, in the late 8o's to 90' . Brings back memories. Wow things have changed, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! We have another video coming up end of this week, so be sure to subscribe
GREAT JOB GUYS YOU ARE AMAZING AUDIO WIZARS CLEAN POWER SQ PERFORMANCE WORK
ONE WORD
F A N T A S T I C UFFF BIG ONES TANKS 👍🥇🏁🏆🏁✔️
Big thanks
wow!!! attention to detail is awesome!!! I just bought a 2023 Mach1 with the B&O (Sony, hahaha!!) stereo and am not impressed at all. I’d love to do a set up like this with just a single 10. Very nicely done!
Thanks!!
Awesome video & I appreciate everything u put into this video, was wondering how would u keep the amps from heating up
They have cooling fans built into them and the top panel is slightly raised, so no issues so far with these being covered.
This is so inspirational, thank you so much for showing craftsmanship in action! Watching this from the othe side of the Atlantic ocean. I see that you use Enduratex vinyl, can I ask what series this is from? Looks great to work with :) Have to get it from overseas, so best to get it right on the first try! Keep up the good work guys :)
Awesome!! Thanks for tuning in! I’m not sure on the vinyl used, that is a Sage question. I will try to remember to ask him 👍
First time coming across your channel and I did enjoy the video and the breakdown. I think you guys did a great job. Do you guys ever deal with other DSP brands? I happen to be partial to Helix at this current time and have a Helix Ultra DSP, I love the interface for tuning them and making adjustments. Can't say that I have had the pleasure of dealing with anything from Mosconi but now you have me interested so at the very least I'm going to stop by a dealer and see how they function/sound. Not that I can actually afford it, but it would be nice to see and hear.
Most of the higher end DSPs are good, Mosconi, Helix, Arc Audio, etc. But these are just tools and requires hundreds of hours to really learn how to utilize these to their potential. For us, we have around 10 years of experience tuning Mosconi and every single project we do receives one. So for us, we can push the envelope of what's possible with a Mosconi, but you hand us another DSP and it will take hundreds of hours to get to the level we are now with the Mosconi. Hope that helps answer your question
I’m actually not sure you charged enough for this job amazing job trunk is art work a true craft can only imagine how much money cnc machine & etc was to purchase 👍🏻👏👏
Thanks!!
The plastic rivets from the tweeter panels you should take a large drill bit and drill off the extra it looks good and it makes it way easier and cleaner.
I love you guys we’re able to do this without cutting. I’ve been told mustang could be done with no cutting. Happy to see that’s true. I need to get my mustang to you 😂
Yes, no reason to cut just need patience and creative minds to figure out how to do it properly.
I agree! Did you all happen to pull measurements if someone wanted to have a front firing box for say….2 JL audio 8W7’s 😂
No, if you go front firing, be sure to understand the acoustical challenges of this. Sometimes it is not as easy as it sounds
Dang, even with the rear seats down you think? Firing the subs into the cabin?
You will have to seal off the backwave of the subs, which means the rear deck lid, quarter panels, etc. No sound can go into the trunk or you will have acoustical cancellation. It won't hurt anything, you will just have a massive reduction in output.
I only made it 9 minutes into the video and can tell that while you guys do probably build a killer sound system, it’s overkill, you don’t need ALL of that to have a really good sounding system
You do not need all of this for a good sounding system, that is correct.. But we are not building just good, rather remarkable system that pushes the envelope of stereo reproduction in vehicles. So all of this is needed to make this happen.
Of course you don't NEED it. That isn't the point of this install. Just like the customer didn't NEED the Shelby version of the Mustang.
People that can afford to have nice things like to pay for them.
But yes, you are correct. This video is NOT intended for someone that is just looking to have a cheap upgrade from their factory sound system.
Oh my goodness brother stinkin awesome clean and very professional build! But no sound sample😲, very disappointed with not gettin any sound sample. Maybe with some Binaural mics you could give us some cleannsound samples on builds after your done with them from inside the cab of the vehicle! Thay would be awesome!
Thanks for checking it out!! In the future, we will explore more options for the sound sample. For now, 99.9999% of customers have no way to hear the difference as their gear cannot reproduce the articulation, space and sound stage of these systems. But I understand. Thanks again for checking it out and another video coming up soon!
Hopefully whatever you do to that Bronco you make a video on, I have one on order
Yes, video publishing end of this week!
I really enjoyed this video and great job on the Cobra. I have some thoughts and questions.
You said it was a Sony amp powering the factory system. Was it B/O speakers or Sony speakers masked as B/O?
What wasn't the factory system giving the customer that he wanted? Did you guys listen to the system before the install ? It would have been awesome to get your customers reaction of the finished sound system and what he loved so much better about than the factory system. I look forward to seeing the other videos. Thank you
The speakers are not anything special in either factory system. The factory systems leave alot to be desired and those that have experienced high fidelity sound, factory systems are borderline unusable. We wish we could show the customers reaction, but for privacy reasons, they will not want to be on camera, with there car and showcasing $$$$$ they spend on their "toys". But maybe we can work on filming other people experiencing the system and their face is always something of shock.
Love the work Sage.... although I disagree about what Black hole Stuff does. It doesn't trick it into thinking it's a bigger enclosure. When the heat dissapates from the woofers it cools the air inside the enclosure faster to keep the woofers more efficient. We had a huge discussion about it years ago on the 12vinsider and Bill Basore who started Q Logic back in the day went into deep detail and showed it all charted on a graph. Pretty cool article if you want to ever check it out it's archived on there. Anyhow as I said awesome job as always guys
We ran some tests and filmed it. This video, at 4:58 when it starts. You can see how it lowers the tuning frequency of the enclosure by adding Blackhole Stuff in the appropriate amount.
th-cam.com/video/kc4AvfomdIQ/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Can you explain the sound difference between flax and K2.
Hard to explain, but simply put, as you go up in series in the Focal brand, not other brands, it is a substantial performance jump across the board. Everything is better, just cost more $$$.
Master
Thanks!
the reason the FD21 works with the B&O amp & and the sony systems is because the factory radios are all the same, the CAN signals the radio uses to control the amps are exactly the same between the two different branded systems. Since Ford makes the radio, they have their vendors build them to their specs.
Yes, but if it is a true B&O, the FD21 will not work. We use the Zen A2B or PAC has a new FD coming out for the true B&O system 👍
I've got a 2005 GMC truck with foam surround speakers and they are still running strong. They don't use rubber because they don't need to in order to get them to last a reasonable amount of time.
The lucky few...
@@SoundsGoodStereo Maybe that's a ford thing? I've worked on plenty of older cars and trucks and driven them and never had factory drivers fail like that.
I need some of that tape
I wish we could hear these systems beat
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice install. I'm was an MECP Master Certified installer for about 12 years. I got out of it because the economy took a crap. My questions is, why did you go with the perforated wood grill instead of a prefab perforated sheet metal grill. I've tested the wood style, and there is a lot of sound lost with that. The carpet, over the speakers, also deadens a lot of sound. Just curious why you chose that route?
Usually we will use sheet metal, but in large openings like this, the metal would resonate and not much you can do to stop it. We tested our panel/perforations in the first Mustang (two of them in this video) and it did not effect the bass performance that much in a negative way. The end result we did not feel it lacked in the bass department at all, so it was a great compromise/choice. Great question and observation by the way!!
You should give a demo after your installations..
Did you just make a 2.5 hr video on installing a system and then not even play it at the end. This was like a good movie with a shitty ending lmao
Great video, just curious .... why you didn't run new 16g wire from amps to the speakers , instead of using the factory wiring and using something like the adapter interface by pac that hooks to the oem radio .
No need to upgrade beyond factory wiring on AC current. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the car audio world and that's why we posted this article/post from Tony D'Amore from D'Amore Engineering. Until you reach 1000w of music to that speaker, no need to ever change it.
Read this article and also look up D'Amore and his credentials in the car stereo world..
soundsgoodstereo.com/blogs/blog-articles/do-you-need-to-run-new-speaker-wire-to-your-speakers
My installer did the same thing in my Mustang. I was curious as to why he didn't run the extra wire I bought, but now I know. Thanks.
To add to what the OP said, since the OEM wire is plenty heavy enough for what they are doing. modern cars use large connectors where the wiring exits the body and it is very difficult to add new wire to these. most of the methods required to do so also cause damage to the factory connector and then you can no longer easily remove the door and reconnect it.
Just putting the protection film on that’s what sets some of these places you take your car too I’m sure he’s not the cheapest but you get what you pay for, you got stereo places I’ve taken cars too that door panels not put back right wires look like shit etc I’d rather pay double to have a professional job like this 👍🏻
Thanks!
I was wondering what kinda sheers or rather scissors you used? I was looking to buy some and liked those.
KAI Professional Tailor Sewing Shears Scissors is what we use
Awesome as always!!! Just curious, why did you change from the flax to the K2?
We actually built two of these Mustangs, at the same time and combined the footage :) So first one received Flax, second one K2.
@Sounds Good Stereo
Hah!!! I don't know how I possibly missed that!!! I didn't watch it all the way through because I was at an appointment.
Identical cars, except the wheels change... No reason to film both, but they received pretty much identical systems outside of front speaker choice.
@Sounds Good Stereo
Gotcha!!! Amazing craftsmanship. I bet they sound good as well!!!
@Sounds Good Stereo
Gotcha!!! Amazing craftsmanship. I bet they sound good as well!!!
Ive emailed you guys bc I need some of that protector....like A LOT for the shop i work at
We have some on order. The problem is the guys will grab and use it so its hard to keep it reserved for "sale". Give us a few weeks and we will have it ready. You need the exterior and interior protection?
@@SoundsGoodStereo yes sir….both
Feel free to send that factory sub my way...LOL!
lol, it's not ours to send your way. It's a decent enclosure for factory
Great work but unfortunately it's 2h trunk woodwork. Would've loved to have more focus to the DSR Amp setup and wiring.
So what did you do for the center channel? Or did you not utilize that speaker?
So we watch this entire video to not see it operate? You have to be kidding me.
It sounds like a live concert, on the dash of your car reproduced perfectly. Just like people who record at a live concert with a GoPro/phone, no way it sounds the same as being there. It’s pointless for us to try and record that, you have to hear it in person. Maybe we will take one of our builds and create a reaction video, just so you can see peoples whole life of listening to music change as soon as they hear it reproduced properly for the first time. If you have any other recommendations on how we can display a live concert, that sounds amazing over a phone speaker, please let us know.
I wonder if this is the gt 500 that was at the drag strip that went against the 🐺 in Knoxville drag I just watched ?
Maybe….
I just spent 2 hours trying to look for this video ,🥺 I’m runing a audison 10rx powered sub, you think is worth making a custom liner with holes like the one you created here for a down firing sub?
You will need to try it, might be better closed off. Every vehicle is different and we have not tried that in this vehicle.
So, the small midrange speaker shares the same volume in the door with the 6.5 woofer. Why do I have the impression this is not a good thing and ideally the speaker volumes should be separated?
The door acts as a IB setup. It works well in the Mustang and some other vehicles. Just do not put them next to each other or in a enclosure together.
The prodigal son…
Okay video 🤔 need to change the title to custom subwoofer system for Shelby gt500. Since that’s what the video was mainly about. I was interested in how you did the door speakers and stuff and you skipped right over that stuff 🫤👎. Then again I wouldn’t do this to a Shelby, my stereo system would be the exhaust lol 😂
Thanks for the feedback. Pretty much all the vehicles receive similar treatment behind the scenes, so you can check out our other videos and we will go more in-depth. These Mustangs have a insane amount of motor work, exhaust, etc done to them already, pretty awesome vehicles..
I had a guy in a older gt500 showing off his 10K stereo, saying it was the best in town. He was pretty upset when he heard my 3K all JL Audio system in my 94 F150, lmfao.
You won't win the battle against this Mustang, but stereo systems are only as good as the tuning.. You can have the best ingredients in the world, but if you do not know how to cook, it wont turn out that good.
@@SoundsGoodStereo how can you even say that, you don't even know what I have. Lmfao, for 20K it shouldn't even be close but it may surprise you
It it's tuned with a DSP, fully active setup, then I believe it will sound better than most aftermarket systems for double the amount that lack a DSP/tuning. If you are just talking about more bass, it comes down to who provided more internal airspace and designed a better enclosure.
@@SoundsGoodStereo yes I'm running JL Audios DSP. Plus I'm fixing too upgrade my C3's too the C7's not cause I need them, just cause I want them. I can literally play anything on my stereo and it sounds amazing.
@@SoundsGoodStereo agreed. I've had people bring 5k+ installs into my shop that sound terrible and I've also made garbage equipment sound way better than it had any right to just by doing the right things for the install and using the right accessories.
What happened with the flax evo 3 ways u said at the beginning that was goin in the doors and a-pillar?
at 19:30 you will see the two Mustangs at once. We did the exact system (different front speakers) in both Mustangs, but only published one video combined.
What happened to the sill protection tape while buddy is doing the sound treatment to the doors?
Good eye!! We were building two Mustangs at once, one was for prototyping the parts and the other one received the identical system, but was completed in record time. Looks like after our photo shoot, they didn't put the film back on. Thanks for pointing this out.
I have a 2019 mustang convertible I have 2 runs of xspower 0 gauge one power one ground going back. I have the same focal 3 way front component set in front being it's convertible I had no space had to run neo 6.5 in the sides of the back. I have a crossfire 800.4 running the mids and highs and a crossfire 800.1 running a single sundown x8 @ 1ohm.
Now I have factory battery under the hood plan on doing a big 3 and have a xspower d1200 for for in the trunk but I don't see any one doing builds in these mustangs and using extra batteries. What was used for electrical in this car? I know the 2 runs I have are over kill but do I not need the batter in the back? Do I have to do a big 3?
We design our systems for efficiency, so no need for electrical upgrades. To do this, you will need to use efficient speakers, amplifiers, enclosure design along with setting the levels with a Oscilloscope. Then the final tune with a DSP to ensure no wasted energy is transferred to heat that is not needed to be.
I wish you would play the systems that you install.
Some videos we play the system, but unless you have a $5K pair of headphones, not sure what kind of "Sound Quality" you are going to hear. It's like watching a live concert on TH-cam that someone recorded on a GoPro, not the same experience as being there in person.
I’m confused why does the focal 3 way look like a k2’s my wife has the same focal 3 way in her jeep wrangler and the cone material and even the tweeter look different , the subs look right.
Its actually two Mustangs and we combined the footage. Both are identical cars, identical systems except the front 3-way kit. 👍
At 19:33 you will see both Mustangs at once
I dont think B&O has actually built anything themselves in decades. They just design. Someone else makes the stuff. Philips/Magnavox built their stuff from the 70s-90s. Maybe in the 00s too. Makes sense they'd just slap their name on Sony gear.
Yes, it's unfortunate for consumers but the reality across the electronics industry.
@@SoundsGoodStereo Yup. Hard to tell who makes what these days.
Do you ever turn anything on in the video? Any LEDs or the stereo or anything?
Not in the video, but we did add photos of the trunk on our Instagram
Why not all focal or crescendo something easier on the wallet with great sq
Sometimes its best to mix brands. Imagine if Pepsi created a car, breakfast cereal, manufacturing shoes and started building houses. Would you buy EVERYTHING Pepsi? Probably not, some companies just excel at different things and it takes experience to know how to mix these together properly.
Was wondering how much weight this would add to the car.
Hopefully enough so the car actually has traction :)
I always called it a kreg jig. Never heard of pocket screws. Learn something new everyday huh?
Kreg is the brand name, Pocket screw is the name of the fastener method itself. similar to people calling facial tissue a Kleenex regardless of brand.
What kind of wrap is that?
You did not show the LEDs lit up! You really missed the boat on that part. I'm pretty disappointed that you did not show the final result of the LEDs and the sound. I mean, I just invested over 2.5 hours of my life to not get to experience the outcome.
I know, we are not TH-cam professionals and this was recorded over a course of a month along with many other projects. Sometimes we assume we filmed it, but we did not. It was a simple lighted panel, changes colors, subtle nothing wild.
I would like to say we won’t miss things like this again, but I’m sure we will. We appreciate your investment in time and I hope you received enough value to forgive us 👍👍

Send me a email, I’ll send you photos of it lit up 👍 sales@soundsgoodstereo.com
Posted up photos on our Instagram account of the Mustang trunk LED lights for you.
Where is the part where the head into was quickly removed?
Didn’t have the full removal on film and it was a bad angle. It’s literally plug and play behind it.
😳
How much is a roll of that film?
Do you sell the door midrange speaker adapter and connector? I have a 2017 GT350 and wanting to do a speaker upgrade.
Yes, here you go:

@@SoundsGoodStereo what’s the cut out diameter?
73 mm
@@SoundsGoodStereo damn. Was hoping it would it one of the Memphis mid ranges.
You guys ever work on semi trucks? Specifically Peterbilt ?
No we do not, it's something we do not specialize in.
Awesome build….but, $20k!!! Come on guys. You must’ve had to change out amps, unless the ohms on the fox Al’s matched the output from the oem amps? I’d personally like to see an Audison sound processor for this money.
All of the gear we used is in the description, check it out and add it up. Then add 120 hours of labor on top and see what you come up with 👍
Install should cost about as much as the product if not more. $300 rockford mono costs like $200-250 to install. Should you really expect a $2,000 Audison Voce mono to cost the same? Would you trust a $60 per hour mechanic on your $300,000 Lamborghini?
At $250-300, you are probably not building a custom amplifier rack to house the amplifier. That is labor for wiring by itself. You add in 10-channels of active amplification, complete sound treatment, custom CNC and laser cut speaker adapters, CAD designing, false stealth floor enclosure, hours of DSP tuning and now you have your labor cost. Yes, the labor is always the same as the gear and the difference is higher end gear requires more to setup and many time more custom labor to match the customers lifestyle.
1:31:00 song? I tried finding it thru description links. No luck.

What did you guys do with the dash center channel? Delete it?
Yes, on most of the systems, delete the center. We recreate the center "image" by using a digital signal processor. Only when we cross the $20K mark to we entertain upgrading the center channel. To do it correctly, we need a good speaker, a good amplifier, and a DSP that handles the center channel appropriately.
Here are the items needed to do a center channel properly in this car:
-- Center Channel
Illusion Audio Carbon C3CX 3" SQ Audiophile Coaxial Speaker Kit ($375)

Mosconi Pico 2-Channel ($480)

--Digital Sound Processor for Tuning
Mosconi 8to12 Aerospace ($1700)

Here is a different vehicle, but a similar stereo platform where we are adding a center channel:

I've lived in Tennessee my whole life. Just moved to Knoxville recently. You guys located in Knoxville???
Mount Juliet, TN. People drive or transport vehicles to us from all over the US. This customer live in Knoxville
@@SoundsGoodStereo Oh very cool. You guys do stellar work. Top shelf. Do you have a 3D printer??? Just curious.
Appreciate it! We do, but not using it for our production parts yet.
I dunno how one could justify spending between 75-100k for a car then spend another quarter of what the car cost into a stereo like that.. i mean great work on the install, everything was put in with the best if care and products but the profit margin on that build had to be 80% labor 20% on parts and materials. or real close to that.. because for everything that physically got installed product wise couldnt cost a dealer/ installer any more than 3k tops and the very tops. Because think about the tahoe that down4sound built.. he invested 20k into that audio system and that is over 100k watts with more speakers you can count on your hands, all competition 15 sundown audio's and that build came with a full custom fiberglass interior, plexi windshield and windows, i mean everything needed for a comp. Stereo.. just blows my mind how much price varies with things.. dude can pull up to a store and literally rattle crap off the shelves inside the store. He cracked a gas station window playing his car stereo...
I know what you are saying.... Just think about this.. A Porsche GT3 cost from $161,100, that's the starting point. Here are the specs:
0-60 - 2.7 Sec
Qtr Mile - 10.8sec
Now you can spend $30k on an old car, add engine/turbo/nitrous, etc and absolutely go faster than this car for WAY less...
It's not all about how fast in a straight line you can go but rather a car that delivers the entire package. Speed, corning, luxury interior, technology, safety features, air conditioning, luggage room, and not leaving every event on a trailer from it breaking, etc. That's why people buy a $160K "SLOW" car.. Not because of the straight-line speed.
Our systems are for music reproduction, accuracy, staging, depth, width and deliver a concert-level volume, with absolute precision in music that rivals most high-end home audio systems.
So your correct, D4S truck is insane, it's a lot of fun, but it's designed to shock rather than to play for accuracy. So two different customers, two different lifestyles. We cater to the customers that want it all and we make it look factory when it's done.
Why did you change from the flax to the KX
It’s actually two identical mustangs, same systems except the front speakers.. so we merged them together for one video 👍
