The teaser cut to Sage taking a perfectly good 3WM to the router table is something lol cant wait to see the 8WM in the doors! I miss my Utopia system, the K2-M just isnt the same!
Great work on details and product use brother but your mono tone game is somthing else brother looking forward to future videos and inspiring content , just wanted to let you know,
Thanks for the feedback. The focus is our craft of delivering the ultimate stereo systems, not being RUclips superstars at the moment. Maybe in the future we can find someone with both talents :)
@@SoundsGoodStereo I kinda blurted that insensitive comment out and reading it later makes me wish I had worded it a little different the entire series and detailed process especially the headliner anti rattle speaker to grill solution was qualitly work friend, I apologize and followed the message and detailed build with enthusiasm thank you for taking the time to film edit post and share your processes and materials used.
I recently bought a few things from these guys. I have a ram 1500 laramie. I bought the half rack mount because of e-Torque Battery, 6.5 mount plates and tweeter mount plates. Once I'm ready I'll be installing Jl Audio C7 speakers. Another guy online has the 3.5" speaker pods for the pillars. I used rivets and foam tape for those to get them mounted after cutting a hole for the speakers.
I have most of the equipment already. Started 2 years ago and glad I did because the prices have increased. The plan is I will be using two Vx600/6i amps, bridged, one for left, one for right channel. I have the Vx1000/1i for subs. Waiting on funds for the subs and box. I thought about going JL Stealthbox 10" subs but I'm looking at other options. And i bought a lithium battery for the amps. titan 8+.
Cant wait to see some of the comments on here from people who've never experienced this level of equipment and installation. "Bro, my Skar 1500.1 sounds so much better than this $40k stereo".
i know mosconi is expensive but 30k and u only have 6in drivers id atleast expect a few screens and a tablet or something eye catching....dont get me wrong its a super clean install but when its that much money id think ud wana show it off🤷♂️👍👍🤘🫡 now im interested in other builds u guys do so im snoopin for a few mins🤔😆😆
You know what? When I get my ram TRX and go with the Elevated package, instead of two pro 1/10s, I’ll only have one audio control LC-1.800 amplifier with a bass control knob and an audio control epicenter micro bass restoration processor for when I listen to Romanian music, which has some bass but could use a tad bit more. Also, I want the Mosconi aerospace to have the RCD to adjust the settings of the main functions such level, sub-level, and the presets.
@SoundsGoodStereo Looks good, Sage. It's great to see the entire tear-down and installation process to see what all is involved and exactly what all you get for the price of the different system tier packages. On a side note, I don't think you should waste your time trying to capture an in-vehicle demo of the before & after audio in the truck, especially using a GoPro. It just doesn't translate to your viewers/listeners in any meaningful way to demonstrate the real life differences of what you are actually hearing in the truck. If you really want to capture at least a somewhat accurate facsimile of what you are actually hearing in the vehicle for your viewers, set up BARNIE in the drivers seat and record the audio with it connected to something like the new Zoom H6 Essential recorder, or even the Zoom H1 Essential recorder (you can easily afford either as a write-off/business expense). These have 32-bit float recording so that you can't clip the audio, but you'll still have to be careful not to "clip" and distort the microphone capsules, especially with too much bass SPL. Or at least get the Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset for iPhone which is a simple, easy to use pair of binaural earbuds/headset microphones like Peter Steinbacher from PSsound uses for his in-car demos. Cheers As a reference, if you want to check out one of my in-car stereo system demo recordings, you can download a 183mb 320kbps MP3 file from the following link (just remove the spaces and insert the proper Internet Hyperlink characters that are named or indicated by the TEXT that is in ALL CAPS). It's not a perfect perfect facsimile due to my slightly flawed microphone technique, but it should give you a better idea of what is possible. Make sure to wear HEADPHONES or Earbuds/IEMs when listening to it... https COLON DOUBLE FORWARD SLASH 1drv D0T ms FORWARD SLASH u FORWARD SLASH s!AmW70ymwG0gjnGy6Hjz3mgh09iWQ?e=w5Zjol
Offhand, I know that a 3WM is rated for 50W, a 6WM is rated for 100W, and so on, so how do you guys manage to drive them with so much power without damaging them?
Im assuming alot of flattening out and EQ to allow it all to be driven at the same power with no peaks in any frequencies. All the magic is in the tuning.
Power is interesting... In the right hands, its more of a suggestion. Look how much power we have in this car: ruclips.net/video/0bvcp2sLC2U/видео.html
@@SoundsGoodStereoI get the stealth appearance. I just don't understand why the tweeters closer to you in the door and not in the factory location on the dash and mid in the door. Is there some sort of acoustic benefit with that layout?
The midrange further away from you delivers a wider and deeper sound stage. Also, they are able to ply very high in the frequency range, so in this truck, it was the best choice.
How many days is an Elevated full Utopia installation in a Ram TRX? I'm thinking maybe a vaca trip to TN if it's only a few days. I have a 2022 that I have been holding off until I see a setup done in! Which you are doing!
The first one (This video) set the groundwork. We have the "Elevated" TRX Package down from 6 weeks to 8 business days. The cheaper package (First Truck) we can complete in 3 business days. The next "Elevated" slot we have is July 8th if you would like to lock it in.
$25K for gear, $10K for this particular install / labor. Now that we have completed several of these exact systems, the price is lower due to our increase in efficiency. Now it's $30,250.00 including transportation to our facility soundsgoodstereo.com/products/elevated-focal-utopia-12-channel-fully-active-pre-tuned-plug-play-stereo-upgrade-for-2019-dodge-ram
Nice job! Can’t wait for the next one
Thanks!!

Uploading part two in the next few days :) Nothing like Utopia, they are simply amazing
Finally!! I’ve been waiting for y’all to drop this build. 👏👏👏
Enjoy it!! This series is going to be a good one!

I’m a Ford Guy, but thank you for including this build for the Dodge community 👍🏽
No problem 👍

Yes, they will join in the comments soon lol
40 k couldve atleast changed all the speakers still used oem center channel 😂😂😂😂@SoundsGoodStereo
Two different packages, two different trucks 👍🏼👍🏼

These guys are hacks ....lol......love the videos as a RETIRED car audio person...let that sink in..we do exist

what makes a TRX install different from the standard 1500 Ram with an HK system?
Same, no difference

I know! We have been slammed!! Wanted to wait until our spring rush was in full effect before we slam ourself more with TRX packages :)
What kind of shoes do you wear?
How much

Why tweeters in the door and mids on the dash vs mids in the door and tweeter on the dash?
Factory locations = Stealth appearance. Powerful DSP = Amazing results, no need for new speaker locations with our tuning of the Gladen-Mosconi DSP
@@SoundsGoodStereoI get the stealth appearance. I just don't understand why the tweeters closer to you in the door and not in the factory location on the dash and mid in the door. Is there some sort of acoustic benefit with that layout?

Is a Lc7i or other audiocontrol line out converter needed if I have audiocontrol's dm-810 dsp on 2024 silverado 1500 stock radio.
You do not need double line output converters, your DSP should have this built-in.
I'm gonna say somewhere around $20,000 for equipment and $4500-$5500 for the install.… Ouch! But well worth it. 😂
