Hi everyone,
This is my first post in this forum, I hope you'll appreciate it😊
This is my 3rd install since I've started Car Audio and the best one to date 😅
I've received my Model 3 on March 21 I was pretty happy with the sound quality. However, I wasn't able to forget the bass It that I felt when I tried a Long Range Model 3 with Premium Audio option. After searching for a while, I found Travis's build log here :
Build log. I was amazed by his work and decided to do the same build with few modifications.
Here is the complete list of equipment:
- Focal ES 165 KX3 (active)
- NVX Boost series enclosure with Subwoofer
- 2 x Focal FPX 2.750 (1 for the sub and the one for door woofers)
- 1 x Focal FPX 4.800 for mids & tweeters
- Helix DSP.3
- Helix Conductor as remote
- Belkin Soundform Connect for lossless streaming with Airplay
- TPLink Nano router (needed for Belkin)
- STP insulation material
It was a long journey but I'm really satisfied with the result I obtained. I learned so much thanks to Youtube channels like CarAudioFabrication or PSSound (if you're reading guys thanks a lot for your work 🙏) and also Audiofrog's DSP tuning guide.
I'll share later REW measurement and crossover settings.
I'm already looking to improve this setup with the following additions:
- Custom subwoofer enclosure on right side of trunk in order to put a Focal Utopia M SUB10WM (already bought)
- Helix P6 DSP Ultimate (in replacement of FPX 4.800 which produces a lot of noise in mids and tweeters just by powering on the system): This way I will have 2 more channels that I can use for rear fill.
- Replace door woofers with Focal Utopia M 8WM
- Later Utopia M mids & tweeters
