    Measuring the Signals on the Premium Alpine System & Setup Advice

    I ran 1/0 through the floor board straight to the frame. Nothing is going to be any better than that unless you go up to the battery. I learned years ago that grounding to the frame was better then any spot on the body.

    DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

    Originally not form PA, but we live in Ashland, right next to Pottsville. Some famous brewery or something is there. Most Pa people know where I mean when I say that...:)

    DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

    I'm liking what I see with your doors. I bet the mid bass sounds more full with authority? Good job! As for the domes....I've ran domes in many many installs over the years. I've never heard a dome that can actually play in low with any type of authority. Most can't realistically do anything...

    DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

    The same 10 speaker, I think 10, SONY sound system. It sounds okay, but I will be changing it out....thinking Summer timeframe. Still too damn cold in PA. Can't seem to figure out a 3-way without doing pillars. From what I can see...tweeters are still in the pillars, but down lower than...

    DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

    The for sale thread got deleted from missing the username/date deal. Didn't think of that when I tool the picture of the box. The Helix didn't sell yet! I've been getting trade offers, at least 5 so far, but I want the cash. Need some new toys for the Ford. LOL. Once I get bored of the...

    The new F-150 is a not the same truck from prior year. I had a 2013 F-150 and this isn't even close. The re-design is crazy nice. Plush....inside. Everything fits together nicely. Granted, I have the Platinum addition. WOW! is an understatement.

    Picked up a 2015 Ford F-150 Supercrew Platinum 4x4. After I took one out and seen/felt the build quality, feel in love. Damn thing is so quiet inside, I thought I was back in our Mercedes. No Ecoboost, all 5.0 Coyote for me.

    Component tweeter placement

    Since that picture above....I put in new A pillars and changed the location slightly. Tweeters are now perfectly flush with the ability to swivel.

    Component tweeter placement

    The Alpine Tweeters give it that factory look. The emblem matches perfect to the Alpine emblem on the center speaker grill cover. The Alpine tweeters are ScanSpeaks, sound and quality is top notch.

    Component tweeter placement

    Nope, I left my DSP hi level settings factory. I experience no noise issues at all. Thankfully!! The Helix is nice, but would have stuck with the Helix non Pro version if I was to do it again.

    Component tweeter placement

    Tweeters swivel which helps with aiming.

    Component tweeter placement

    FWIW. I put mine in the A-pillars which pulled the entire sound stage forward and wide. Just my $0.02.

    Measuring the Signals on the Premium Alpine System & Setup Advice

    I keep the EQ flat in the 8.4AN and the surround off as well. I also attentuate the rear by keeping the fader control front bias a few clicks.
