Routing main power:
Remove this cap over the positive battery terminal:
Attachment 12992
Bolt the amo power feed to the non-fused started feed on the battery terminal block.
Attachment 12998
Attachment 12991
Re-install the cover. Nice fit.
Attachment 12993
Secure down the 2 way distribution block. Each feed is protected by a 60A fuse. The sub amp power wire is 8ga automotive grade wire and has a 3ft run. The main amp power feed is also 8ga and has a 5ft run. No problem running smaller gage wire here since the runs are so short. One of the nice things about having the battery and main power distribution center right next to your amps.

All covered up. Ready to put the trunk back together.

Not too much of an update today. I have a lot to learn about the Helix DSP software.
Tidied up the remaining wiring:
Attachment 13004
Start up the system:
Attachment 13003
Let's start configuring :)

All I did was balance midbass, midrange, and highs by ear and it already sounds pretty fuggin great. Just wait until I actually apply a tune to this thing...

HOLD ON A MOMENT... Some dude named Erin offered to Klippel test my MW182's. Change of plans. I'm going to pull them out and send for test before I put any hours on them. Rather, I will try something slightly different first. But, need to prep them for use.
Added speaker leads and gaskets:
Attachment 13007
Attachment 13008
Attachment 13009
Attachment 13012
Now add silicone goop to seal between rings:
Attachment 13011
Attachment 13010
Attachment 13014
Attachment 13013
Let these dry over night then mount in car tomorrow. I was going to spend my next 2 days sound deadning my doors anyway. May as well swap mid-bass drivers while I'm at it. Then Erin can have the Dyns for a few weeks to do his mad scientist stuff.

Re: 2016 Porsche Macan S - stealth SQ build
So I worked on my passenger door today:
Going to install these slim little sexy Italian suckers.
Attachment 13022
The Porsche doors already had sizable strips of CLD installed on the outer door skin. I went over it with another layer of this guys stuff. Rumor has it, the stuff is kind of good.
Attachment 13021
Attachment 13020
Attachment 13025
Installed some Butyl rope to fill the remaining gaps in the crash bar.
Attachment 13024
The only place on the door that resonated heavily with mid-bass impact was this plastic access panel. I didn't have materials on hand to craft a new access panel out of PVC board so just sealedit up with CLD sheets. I noticed a significant reduction in vibration playing bass heavy notes on the door speakers so let it be for now. The doors wiring did vibrate pretty good though.
Attachment 13023
So, use some sticky back closed cell foam to hold those wires down.
Attachment 13028
Attachment 13027
Oh, and I installed a smaller / lighter mid-bass to check it out. The Dynaudio MW82's are going off for analysis...

Re: 2016 Porsche Macan S - stealth SQ build
So I finished deadening my doors today:
Inner door skin:
Apply 2 layers of CLD inside. Apply generous layer outside to anything that will vibrate:
Attachment 13045
Secure loose harnesses with closed cell foam:

Attachment 13049
Job complete. No loose rattling harnesses on inner door. Air leaks plugged up. Floppy plastic pieces covered up in CLD sheet to make them more rigid. Good enough for now.
