Audio upgrade options

[Tsuki]

So I have the Focal K2 in the door and the front center. Focal Access in the rear surround. Putting Dynaudio MW172 in the rear with LOTS of damping and some fill. Will then have a separate removable subwoofer if necessary. Also ordered the Mobridge unit. At least for now, will be using the Focal passive crossovers. Mobridge crossovers will be between the Focal units, the Dynaudio woofers and the subwoofer if necessary.

Sounds amazing. Definitely can't wait to hear your thoughts on running the MW172 without a dedicated sub. I haven't had a proper sub in probably 15 years, so I bet that would really be plenty for me... I've always been a fan of Dynaudio, they're so overengineered. I'd imagine those MW172s will do a great job covering the range. Fingers crossed!

How long do you think until you do the install?

@Tsuki is there a way you can power it up and measure the rms power.

@jorligan did you end up with an extra center k2?

I actually found an extra K2 unit. Hope to get everything together by the end of the month. Waiting for my unit to show up. Have speakers in the doors, major improvement. Car is going in for tint next week and then stripping the interior for roll bar install, seats and the stereo. Started construction on the removable sub, making it out of 3/4 MDF sealed with 12" Earthquake sub.

Not at the moment, but I’ll see what I can figure out.

Sounds like a really amazing build! The Focal Access that you have is coaxial? if so what will you do for the tweeters in the back? Also are you using the mObridge amp to power it all?

 

[jorligan]

I will be using the Mobridge amp to power the system. The Focal Access is the component system with the bigger woofer, Will need to adapt or cut to make it fit.

That price tag though, $2500. Thats how much my full audio upgrade equipment is costing.

That is a full audio upgrade.

No, its just adding a powered sub and retuning the factory speakers.

The factory speakers are not bad, it the terrible amp and EQ. Oemaudioplus addresses this with their amp/dsp which has been specifically tuned for our cars along with the integrated subwoofer. Anyone can throw a higher power amp and aftermarket speakers in, but tuning a DSP specific to our cars is where OEMAudio plus invested the time and money. I really don‘t think it’s a bad price. If you we’re to buy a decent 7-8 channel amp with full DSP capabilities your easily looking at $1500+

Throw in the interrelated sub and all OEM harnesses, so no splicing, and then a professional tuner to dial everything in and your over $2500.

Its all about the DSP amp, and tunING. And then having the right equipment and knowledge to dial it in.

 

[jorligan]

It would be interesting to see the actual tuning. They do not separately tune every speaker which is what it typically done with active crossovers and external DSP. They would be tuning the individual channels which would be 5 channels, possibly 7 if they still use the factory woofers and their separate subwoofer. The factory "subwoofer" is actually a woofer since it probably has to crossover relatively high for the door speakers. (My plan for the crossover will be between 150 and 200 hz. and my removable subwoofer at 60 Hz.) They can equalize the output of the speaker channels and time align for better "imaging / staging". I personally would agree with Metal.

The 2 OE subs are deleted / bypassed in the OEM Audio + application which is a big disappointment to me...

I would have rather kept them in the system adding crossovers with some DSP applied to have them operate as mid-bass speakers...

I really like their clean installation I agree with you that using the factory woofers would be preferable as a true woofer and added unit as a subwoofer but I suspect that would have required significant modification to the cabinet as you have described. Also added more cost as additional amplification would be necessary.

I am using the Mobridge unit for 5 channels, the high output to the woofers and the subwoofer output to the removable subwoofer. I remove the subwoofer when going to the track.
