    HK System Audio Upgrades & Questions - Dash

    I ended up going with a mini DSP Harmony and went without center on my first tune. Wowza DSP is incredible. So much adjustabilty. I thought I had it good before but this is on another level entirely. Now I'm down the rabbit hole further though and looking to add more power to my front channel.

    Cooper Rugged Trek vs Falken Wildpeak AT3

    Yeah I'd have to look. I thought 3peak was more regarding handling and traction, but maybe it has to do with compound too. Regarding traction, theyre fantastic that way. We had crappy weather and roads all winter last year. Ice and snow from Nov15-may. Never felt unsafe. They were great that way.

    Cooper Rugged Trek vs Falken Wildpeak AT3

    Just a follow up. About 15000 miles on a pair of rugged treks. Still look great. Similar ride to Falken in same size and load. Maybe a touch louder... But not much. A bit more sensitive to lower temps than Falken in terms of noise and ride quality, but again only maybe a very little. I'd...

    That'd save a bunch of time. Please send it over via message or post here. Thanks!

    HK System Audio Upgrades & Questions - Dash

    Yeah probably a waste of time and money for center. Plan is to use either a JBL 4086 DSP 40wx8 or MiniDsp Harmony 8x12x40w amp that would allow to mix a channel for that center but that'd require another speaker and probably not accomplish much. I have some CDT unity 8 on order. I might just...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Super weird indeed. I'll have to look how the PAC harness hooks up. My goal was to just use it for factory wiring off external amps so I don't have to run wire to door panels, etc. Would then just put the amp under seat if it fit.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    I just went and checked. They're both essentially full range at 500hz +. I can only think it was for additional fill. I do know when you toggle the 'surround' button on the audio menu, it raises the volume slightly on the door panel and on the center channel. I'm personally not in love with...

    2020 HK 19 Speaker OEM Amp bypass with Helix V Twelve Channel Amp/DSP

    Is the factory amp located under the drivers seat? Is this where people are using the PAC APH-CH03 AmpPro Harness to tie into the factory wiring?

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    You're saying the 3.5 on the dash on the HK system is a mid only? I'd have to check again but pretty sure it's HP crossed at around 500hz with no upper LP point.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    The speaker in the door is a 2 way 3.5". I had swapped it out to an infinity reference 3.5 when I swapped the 6x9. Running a hz generator, it seems to be crossed with the 6x9 at about 500hz. Dash 3.5s are also a 2 way and seem to be crossed at the same 500hz. I don't think the door 3.5 does...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    I'm wondering if I can get by without the door mids/tweets. It really seems those speakers don't add a ton to the overall sound profile. If I cover mine up with my hand, I barely notice they aren't there. Your thoughts? Thinking of trying to get either the audiofrog or morel 4" into the...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Great info. Thanks. Not familiar with Karma. Hard to find info on them. Did you end up doing anything with the 3.5" in the door?

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    So you're not running the center or rear doors at all? Suppose that's an option for me. The rear door does tend to be a source of an occasional rattle.for me and can be annoying. I am running a PAC Ampro to feed 2 10" jl subs in an enclosure I made to fit under the rear seat. Unplugged...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    This is similar to what I'm leaning towards but using the JBL 8 channel DSP amp to power entire front stage, and a 4 channel amp to power the rear. I'd assume 40w/ch is more than what the factory amp is putting out and having total control over every speaker would be nice.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Got ya. So the center is being powered off the factory amp. You noticing any timing related interference? Do you know of any adapters or harness that would plug into the factory harness at the amp and just piggy back the factory wiring instead cutting, splicing, or running new wire? Actually...
