Oh my God your attention to detail is amazing. You care for customers cars better than anybody I’ve ever seen. When I’m ready to do a system worth of your talents I’ll be down for a visit.
16:15 haha fitment check at its finest!! These guys rock the most. Ive learned more in 3 days of watching this channel than I have in a few years!!! Whatever they charge for an install is more than worth it!!
Man that tweeter install was clean. Sometimes it is worth paying more for someone to install that has the confidence and experience to not hack up your expensive vehicle.
Just stumbled upon your channel, but seriously glad I did. Awesome work. Thanks for explaining everything you do. We need more people who care about the quality of their work as you do.
I have an 18 f150 and with a lot of patience I was able to drill thru the plastic door coupling and ran 16 GA. Wire.was so worth it. Also almost went thru 36 sqft of sound deadening just in the doors. You guys are my inspiration. Haven't touch car audio in 25 years. I got the 7 inch kenwood components but I heard you say oval is better.
1 dislike already.. apparently they hit the wrong thumb.. or they are on the wrong channel!!! Love every minute of all your videos! Keep up the great work! RUN DNF!
Killer! Looking forward to Part 3 etc to completion. Been looking forward to this video series of the 10th Gen Accord. Hopefully y'all will get a 10th Gen Accord Touring with the "Premium" 10 speaker system w/buss driven amp in the install bay soon and get a chance to video that full blown install. Love to see how you will attack it...no integration module yet that I can find.
I have noticed sound deadener almost is more effective on the plastic panels than on the metal on these newer cars. Especially the ones with the 2nd plastic panel inside. Good work!
Excellent, exactly what the majority of people are looking for in my opinion! What is the type of part used to close and re-seal the door (the white cover)? I am looking forward to the next part.
All those foam rings in front, back and rear circle are an overkill, all that added foam material is absorbing the sound output of the mid bass, making it less efficient and not as loud. You already have the sound deadening material to take care of the rattles. I have personally done my installs both ways and find that the foam is a waist of time and money, as well as suppresses the output of the speaker.
i cannot speak for the foam pad in the rear, but I recently installed a set of Focal Utopia w-xp and behind I placed a Dynaxorb pad, I did drivers side first, not really expecting anything, I was stunned to hear a clearly audible difference between it and the other speaker. sadly, Dynaxorb is discontinued! so i bought a bunch on closeout from ebay merchant.
Hello, I have a 22 Accord and I did a diagnosis and it looks like the factory amp is no good. Could I unplug it and be able to listen to music and use my radio again?
Id like to see the price discussed of this install on these front components. We offer work similiar to yours but I think customers don't understand the cost of installation like this. This is not a 50.00 install.
I really wish I was in the same area as you as you know the most about the 2019 Accord. All the shops in my area want to rip out the entire system and start over for crazy money. Seems they don't know anything about the '19 Accord :/
Thinking I shouldn't have bought my 2021 Accord EXL 1.5T since the 10 speaker stereo is so bad....and it is so hard to improve it however the rest of the car is very good. I had a 2010 Acura TSX with good sounding 7 speaker system and would have bought 2021 TLX but despite having a 4" longer wheelbase the TLX had no more room in it than my TSX... and I like space in a car.
I just installed a pair of focal isu165’s in my 2020 accord, worked well for a day and then sound stopped. Wondering if you have ever run into this. Also, why are there 4 wires of speaker wire going to the factory midrange speaker harness?
Good day..im frm south africa..out here we suffer 2 get quality speaker for e90 bmw's as replacemnt for factory speakers..can u guys pls make a similar video on e90 bmw's as replacemnt for the factory speakers;specially the underseat speakers.if we do get replacemnt speakers it costs way to much money for us..so maybe jbl or alpine replacemnt speakers wth ur help on fitmnt cud help us greatly..luv all ur videos
How much would an install like this cost in total I have a 19 accord as well. I don’t want to ripped off. A lot of places out here in San Diego are either really cheap or really expensive. I got a 12in JL sub installed and alpine amp and they charged me $975. I don’t know if that’s to high or not. Thank you for the videos.
Hello..great video...how did you snatch the signal from the radio..my 2013 f150 I used a db link 4 channel converter to get the signal..what did you use
Who the hell disliked this video? Had to be a mistake cause the install videos are the best. The only thing I hate is how there are so many parts. I totally get why they are so many parts. I’m just saying I’d watch the entire 80 minute or however long video.
So can someone fill me in - does Dean only run speaker cable from amp to speaker on higher end installs? And then run speaker cable from amp to the factory harness on cheaper installs? When isn't it a good idea to use the factory harness? How do you get through the door grommets?
I'm not guru, but I will try to answer your question. In this car, the factory stereo also handles information for the car such as TPMS, VSS, Maintenance, and Vehicle settings. Because of this, there's not one harness on the back of the radio to control just the stereo portion. A T-Harness (Axxess AX-DSP-HON2 in this case) will easily separate the FL, FR, RL, RR speaker wires and give us the ability to completely reconnect the wires from ONE location to restore the vehicle to factory without having to cut any factory wires. In this application, we only need 4 channels that are already pre-wired. This is the best way to perform the install without removing all of the interior of the car. Most people doing this at home will only pull off trim pieces and not remove consoles or seats. Running all new wires to each speaker might be an option if you really want to add serious power, but in 99% of cases people only want to increase clarity or add DSP/EQ corrections and not build custom door panels for the speakers they want. Using the factory wiring harness also eliminates the need to fish wire through the door grommets - some car makers now make a connector for doors and not an actual electrical cable raceway. Hondas still use the rubber raceway so fishing wires through the doors shouldn't be difficult. This Honda is relatively easy to just push wire through the door grommets. Lowe's has fish tape that is a plastic semi-rigid tube that will bend and snake through harder applications. Because of the tweeter location in the pillar, we have to run two wires through the door here but in some cases, or when coaxial speakers are used, the tweeter is located at the top of the door panel near the mirror mounts so factory wiring will be the easiest and fastest way to accomplish the task. It's very rare nowadays to find factory wiring insufficient for quality sound. In conclusion: Speaker cable from amp to individual speakers: Not required for replacing factory speakers with upgraded component or coaxial. New wires will be necessary for installing expensive and extensive speakers in the doors such as subwoofers, mid-bass, tweeters that will require multiple channels and a custom door panel. At this point, you're literally spending thousands of dollars on speakers for your doors. Door speakers are often times best just upgraded and then add a subwoofer somewhere else in the vehicle. Adding speakers requires adding wires. When should you not use factory harness: If you are able to install an aftermarket stereo and require more than 4 or 6 channels then using the factory wires will be rendered obsolete because you will have to run new wires for more channels anyway. Find the harness that fits your vehicle's factory power supply to the radio and have fun with new wires. (Please take the time to use heat shrink tubing and solder your connections - nothing is worse than having to peel everything apart for a shoddy connection somewhere) Door Grommets: Lowe's has fish tape that electricians use to push through conduit. It's overkill for a 10" run of wire, but it works well. The smallest length of fish tape will work best. I think it's like 15 foot? Sorry I'm long-winded... Hope this helps.
@@fivestringfury2 very helpful. thank you 🙂👍 btw, do you think a 50-watter/ch RMS amp like kicker key 200.4 can make morels sing well enough (90w-RMS, dips 3.1 ohms) ? or better get lower RMS speakers like JL C2 2-way (60w rms, 91db) im looking for better SQ speakers matching the low powered, class D amp w/ auto DSP like kicker key 200.4 (i prefer efficiency+minimalism of class D amps albeit lower SQ attributes (when compared to a proven AB amp)
Can I purchase 2 mounts? Like 4real 4real!! I have a 10 Crosstour and had to settle on slim 6.5 cause my others wouldn't fit. Fyi I dont like these slims LOL
I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in a 2018 honda accord. do you think a focal ps165fx would fit in the factory door location? (from their spec sheet, they have a 77mm/3" mounting depth)
That will never happen 🤣🤣.. if Fernando move to CA. To work with Steve, Fernando will loss his humbleness.. KEEP THIS IN MIND, this channel is to keep you updated, teach us, and show us how to do our stuff and learn from Dean and fer,.. you get the point right?
I have 3 sets of these Morel Tempo Ultras and I wish i never ordered them. Look into the CDT ES 6.5 Line or HD line. These Morels are not loud nor do they get low. If you buy Morel Stay at VIrtus and Above. I would avoid Morel anway since CDT has better offerings at cheaper price and even speakers on parts express by dayton are better sq.
So got a jvc radio i put it in a 95 geo metro im running 4 pironeer speekers and i got an amp i ran the speekers off the amp and i have to almost max the radio out to get it to out put louder sound i got the gains set with o scope volt meter so i know the speekers are under powerd so i got a bigger amp and running all 4 speekers at there 50 watt rms rating it made no difference on sound output just hade more bass the deck olny puts out 2 volts on the pre outs on the back sub is same way but on my old deck it was loud on the bass but that deck olny hade 1 volt pre outs so idk maby someone can help
What series morels are those? I have a Rockford Fosgate 600.4 to run my miss and highs and a Rockford Fosgate 1500bdcp with a Sundown X series 12. I am looking to do a sq build that still can get loud and I have been looking at Morel speakers because I hear they are better than focal for what I am looking to accomplish and are at a better price point. What speakers should I do for my front stage and what do you think I should use for the rear speakers as fillers?
Is it best to use the speaker supplied crossovers? My installer made crossovers and didn't use the ones supplied by the speaker manufacturer. Is this ok, what's the difference?
I wish you were closer I would bring my 2019 Accord 2.0 Touring to you and have you do my car for a vid its got alot more going in it than he has lol. Been out of the game a long time stuff is a bit more diff to install now. Love the vids watch you everyday.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
love this deeper, more thorough demonstrations of this honda series. Keep up the great work boys!
I will never complain about the cost of car audio work again, but I also cannot imagine most people out there are anywhere near as good as this guy
The titles of your videos should all start with "How to do it the right way." Pro work, nice to see !
Oh my God your attention to detail is amazing. You care for customers cars better than anybody I’ve ever seen. When I’m ready to do a system worth of your talents I’ll be down for a visit.
Watching your videos restores some of my faith in humanity.

this video is a virtual gold mine of helpful tips.
Love this type of work. Newer cars are getting nearly impossible to customize anything. Good work!
I have an 18 f150 and with a lot of patience I was able to drill thru the plastic door coupling and ran 16 GA. Wire.was so worth it. Also almost went thru 36 sqft of sound deadening just in the doors. You guys are my inspiration. Haven't touch car audio in 25 years. I got the 7 inch kenwood components but I heard you say oval is better.
Nice choice of speaker I personally run hybrid 602 active in the front
Hi Dean and Fernando love how you guys explain each step and why the install is being done a certain way, keep up the good work!!!
Jon
Wish you fellas were in Canada...Ontario specifically...Keep up the good work.
I'd wager that the car is just as quiet if not quieter going down the road with the sound treatment than with the ANC. Great work!
Love your attention to details keep up the amazing work guys!!

nice vid. Im rtying to get rid of the resonance around 100-150hz. its really messing with the sound...
I have the Maximo Ultra components in the door and the coax in the rear doors. They are very nice. Very crisp highs. I love them!
Did the tweeters fit?
i wish you were working in a shop in Roanoke, VA; or in West Virginia. I’d drive 3 hours to your place, if I knew I was getting a job done well.
Excellent MOD on that tweeter Dean
Remember to take your time and explain the integration with the factory stereo for the next one. Thanks for making these videos.
Excellent, exactly what the majority of people are looking for in my opinion! What is the type of part used to close and re-seal the door (the white cover)?
I am looking forward to the next part.
Morel and old DLS etc are amazing speakers

that a great video , need an estimate to install those front door speakers exactly shown ...how much would it cost ...
I have those speakers, I just want to see what amp he will use :)
Nice video
i would frekin love to have yall rewire/tune my system would be a dream
Hello, I have a 22 Accord and I did a diagnosis and it looks like the factory amp is no good. Could I unplug it and be able to listen to music and use my radio again?
Actually it's quite a misconception that CA glue NEEDS an activator. It does not. If you want it to dry faster? Then sure.
Are the door tweeters on the 10th Gen 8 speaker setup on a dedicated channel or split off from the door speaker?
How much would this install be?
Can you make me 2 of those door speaker mounts for me to purchase?
Id like to see the price discussed of this install on these front components. We offer work similiar to yours but I think customers don't understand the cost of installation like this. This is not a 50.00 install.

Good day..im frm south africa..out here we suffer 2 get quality speaker for e90 bmw's as replacemnt for factory speakers..can u guys pls make a similar video on e90 bmw's as replacemnt for the factory speakers;specially the underseat speakers.if we do get replacemnt speakers it costs way to much money for us..so maybe jbl or alpine replacemnt speakers wth ur help on fitmnt cud help us greatly..luv all ur videos
Has anyone come out with an upgrade amp that drops in?

How will I know the fitment for a 2020 tacoma before ordering a setup?
Hello..great video...how did you snatch the signal from the radio..my 2013 f150 I used a db link 4 channel converter to get the signal..what did you use
This things gonna sound amazing
once you take off the white factory sound proofing material ... how did you get it back on or did you put it back?
Great video man,keep it up! Interested to hear your thoughts on how those sound .
Who the hell disliked this video? Had to be a mistake cause the install videos are the best. The only thing I hate is how there are so many parts. I totally get why they are so many parts. I’m just saying I’d watch the entire 80 minute or however long video.

@@fivestringfury2 Thanks for the detailed reply - appreciate the information!
@@fivestringfury2 very helpful. thank you 🙂👍
btw,
do you think a 50-watter/ch RMS amp like kicker key 200.4 can make morels sing well enough (90w-RMS, dips 3.1 ohms) ?
or better get lower RMS speakers like JL C2 2-way (60w rms, 91db)
im looking for better SQ speakers matching the low powered, class D amp w/ auto DSP like kicker key 200.4
(i prefer efficiency+minimalism of class D amps albeit lower SQ attributes
(when compared to a proven AB amp)
Kenwood DDX9905S vs DDX9906XR, is there any difference between them or just a manufacturer date??
Can I purchase 2 mounts? Like 4real 4real!! I have a 10 Crosstour and had to settle on slim 6.5 cause my others wouldn't fit. Fyi I dont like these slims LOL
how much did this cost
Looks like a gm speaker insert.
Great job Dean but Soundman would've made a perfect acrylic speaker adapter with his CNC machine!! Good work though fellas.
Doesn't matter what you did Doug. -Rafa 2019
I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in a 2018 honda accord. do you think a focal ps165fx would fit in the factory door location? (from their spec sheet, they have a 77mm/3" mounting depth)
If they're 6.5 they should, just get the brackets which you can find on ebay
I have 2 sets of morel comps new will the 1" tweeters fit???
Where did you get the oem plug for the tweeters?
Where are you guys located at? And do you have someone who could do the same work in the NY area?
Where can we get one of those adapters for the speakers?
Very goooood work
I have been authorized by Steve Mead to offer Fernando a job. Sorry Dean.
That will never happen 🤣🤣.. if Fernando move to CA. To work with Steve, Fernando will loss his humbleness.. KEEP THIS IN MIND, this channel is to keep you updated, teach us, and show us how to do our stuff and learn from Dean and fer,.. you get the point right?

You need a line driver.
Nice Video !!!
Must be the competition giving thumbs down and playing games..huh Dean and Fernando ?
pros do it best. wish we had pros like you where i live instead of the junk amateurs we have!

I wonder if they have done any electric cars yet like a Tesla? I would like to see one of those installs.
Lmao my trash 2006 honda civic has all those kinds of speakers
