You're right, I didn't hookup the center as I was limited by the 12 channels of DSP and available Amp channels. I could steal a DSP lime off the Toslink adapter (running the Sub mono) but I need to find somewhere to hide another Amp. I hear that mObridge is working on a drop in Unleashed Amp...
It sounds like maybe they are, he asked that I beta test it when they do but I didn't get a timeline. It would be a nice option because the work required in what I did isn't trivial.
I've reached out to my mObridge contact to confirm. I spent months working with them to debug the 12-channel Pro functionality as they said I was their first install to use all 12 channels.
Their amp certainly looks intriguing but the 8.1.1 mObridge amp won't fully drive an Unleashed system and is again focusing on the 'non-Unleashed' crowd.
Basically took educated guesses figuring that the OEM amp would never be capable of driving low Ohm loads. Also figured the amp self-protection capability would save me if I overloaded any particular channels. The only signals I parallel up are the tweeters/mid-range overhead and in the...
Admittedly I'm using chassis ground (seatbelt bolt) but I did run an extra O-gauge jumper between battery ground and the chassis in the engine compartment. For the positive lead there's a hole in the firewall on the lower passenger side that I routed through then routed inside along the...
For either A2B interface you can use the existing speaker wiring. The PAC & "Sounds Good" harnesses let's you tap into them. I am using the DSP in the mObridge Pro as I wanted the ability to time-delay each speaker set appropriately. The only speakers I couldn't individually set are the...
The speakers are all independently wired, I'm simply running the overheads and headrests in parallel as I had to combine some of the 18-speakers to get down to the 12 DSP outputs.
I can see how that gets you DSP for 6 channels, maybe 7 if you count the sub amp but we're controlling 12 channels to pickup the headrests and overhead. I run 12-ch of DSP out of the mObridge Pro through 11 channels of amplification, I'd be interested to hear how a D6.1200 is capturing all of...
Ignore the last response... YES you also need a TOSLINK adapter if you want to use all 12 channels out of the mObridge. I used this one which worked great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L9M4PK5
The PAC harness lets you tap into the speaker connections at the amp, you also need a harness from Sounds Good Stereo which you run up to the back of the head unit that taps into the front A-pillar tweeters and the rear doors. Note for the Unleashed system the pinout on the PAC harness is...
The mids in the dash corners put out a fair amount of volume. If I had a channel to spare off of the DAC and a little more amp room I would have included it as well.
Sonnie, system looks great! Not sure I saw what you decided for a sub? I initially focused on re-amplification and I bought the unleashed for all its speaker locations, so it was important for me to keep all the drivers in my repower. Jon and I started working with mObridge at the same time...
I bought the "Unleashed" upgrade solely for the OEM speaker locations as adapting dashes, headliners and headrest for an OEM-look speaker is a pain in the ass. Figuring I'd be swapping out the amplification and most of the speakers I started with re-amplification and a sub upgrade and it REALLY...
Finally, keen eyes will not an amplifier change from the Epicenter 600 to an LC800.1 as my original installation had the EC600 driving a 4-ohm 13TW5v2 (the only available model at the time of purchase) which I was to realize later that in that configuration the power-hungry driver was only...
Adding the mObridge DSP also allowed me to reallocate my amplifier channels more effectively routing the higher-power channels to the speakers that could use it and better-balancing the system.
