That is clean install, good job!

Awsome Work, keep on goin! We Car-Hifi guys always have to explain our hobby. I'm 42 years old and put a DLS Scandinavia 3 way frontsystem and a Sub controlled by Match / Helix DSP in my Prius. Most of my friends and family say i act like a stupid 18 year old, nobody need something like this in a car, because there is a factory Soundsystem. But the importand thing is: I LOVE IT

This has come up in talking recently with the car stereo place where I bought the gear. It could be younger guys these days are useless and don't try anything, or they have grown up with ear buds and don't really know what good sound sounds like. That could of course be connected with them not knowing what good music is like too. Then when they hear a good system, they can't believe what's possible. None of that stops me from doing it.

Love this genre of bloke, late 90's raver who likes tech.

Thanks for seeing this through on a brand new car with IMO already decent sound... I'm an audiophile and have just purchased the Seal since overall it's a really good car. Was also looking to improve audio though because of the doubtful quality in particularly bass / low-midrange.

BBQ bamboo skewers are your fine detail glue spreading friend.

Sick as 😎

I hope Australian summer won't kill the glue. In the past, I remade the vinyl of my door card in my Honda Del sol, result look good, until summer ... Everything was peeling off. I tried 3 types of 3M neoprene. Nothing could survive a 35°c day with the car under the sun. Ended up buying used card in the color I wanted. If glue doesn't hold, I would suggest a Flocking Kit on the bare plastic.

Nice work mate, turned out great👌 how do the DC chargers (that keep the 12v battery charged) in EVs go with the extra loads that multiple amplifiers put on the 12v system?

Don't know, but the Tesla worked for the past bunch of years with the same kind of thing. I'd say it wouldn't be anything too special, just monitor the battery voltage, and charge it up if it gets low.

Ever since I started watching your BYD videos, KZread suggests 'related videos' of exploding/burning BYDs and issues with quality control ( like cheap, bending steel parts, …). Do you have any concerns about that? Do BYDs for export get better QC than those for the domestic (chinese) market?

Fuckin awesome video Paul, love it. I've been doing something similar today actually, back in my Mitsubishi mirage. I've got to improve the headunit mounting situation, and then an aftermarket speaker wiring harness converter was ageing quickly and badly (dropouts), so I snipped it out and just soldered it. Now to design a facia surround that moulds to the dash so it looks nice. I'll 3d print it in black ABS and vapor smooth it to get it glossy.

My Leaf turns the volume down when reversing, but it only applies about -20dB it doesn't stop it entirely. I actually quite like it, but I'd be pissed if it turned it completely off all the time.

Agreed on the full volume. If you can speak over it, it aint full volume :)

Perfect, I love your improvements and I don't understand this blinky noisy ding dong stuff of that car. Why is it not customizable where and when I want to hear a sound and where/when not. A "long" time ago the first thing you did, you replaced the old hifi stuff with "your" system so you could enjoy the power ;)
