Depends on your listening preference, while you will certainly feel the energy, the tightness of the bass is going to be affected by having to pass through seats / rear deck. My current build is more catered to resolution than energy. The build in my old Model S had the Focal Kevlars and that...

Existing 12v is plenty for my build. The overall power output didn't increase that much over stock, maybe a couple hundred watts max.

Part 4 - The physical build For my build, I used top of the line Focal Utopia TBM tweeters (1") and Utopia Mids 3.5". Here they are side by side with the stock tweeters and mids. " Here's the full set - 3 sets because the center channels needs to match. If you don't have atmos, probably save...

All the mids are 3.5 in" The front stage is actually a 3 way in the corners (tweeter, mid, mid bass) The main issue you'll face other than taking up trunk space for the sub is that the Air doesn't have a hatch like the model S. So the only way to get the sub to play into the cabin is to open...

Part 3 - What i wanted to get out of an aftermarket system I probably should have started with this, but nonetheless i think it would be helpful context for me to share what I was looking to get out of the aftermarket system (and where i felt the Lucid OEM system could be improved) Some...

This is what the rear deck looks like. The stock "sub" probably run 100w rms, basically like a midbass, so it wasn't causing any noticeable distortion/resonance through the metal frame. Having the trunk as the enclosure and walled off from the seats also helps to keep the bass clean even if...

Didn’t really look into this. Given I was trying to preserve atmos functionality, the only way to do that is to work off the partitioned channels.

Part 2 - Power Amplification For this next part, i will review things to know about the power amps. As stated before, the factory system consists of 2 Class D DSP Power Amps. One for the base system and one for the premium system. The factory system is fully active crossovers for each channel...

Here's a better view of the pattern, it's pretty easy to get to if you want to get a measurement. Just pull down the trim panel from the trunk area. Note, it's not a simple bolt hole pattern to mount it. The left plate is the adapter that was made for the new sub.

Oh you were you were the radar guy! Haha Small world. Envious of the travel, hope you are having fun. I have a 2 month old and 3 year old so that kind of travel will need to wait a bit. Hit me up when you are back. What part of the bay are you in?

I am running a high efficiency set of class D DSP/amps. They are small. System output between the two is probably comparable to the factory system. 400+600 watts RMS max. I did not prioritize raw power, especially with just an 8 in sub, you don't need a 500 watt amp for the bass, just can...

When in stereo, the center channel is mixed to mono. Assume the height and rear channels are L/R but tuned down to act as rear fill. I can see if my installer tested this.

I will post more on the build later. Basically the approach was to take the amped signal from the factory dsp and run it into an aftermarket dsp/amp. I did upgrade the 8 driver and amp. It's definitely better but potential will be limited by physics. I decided not to do a more extensive bass...

You can. Here's food for thought. 1.) You will likely need to make adapters to get them to fit the factory holes. Sound innovations has a CNC Laser and 3d printer / scanner (as probably most hifi shops now) so making them is quite easy for them. DIY means probably tracing a template and...

Hi All, I recently had a HiFi upgrade done on my Lucid. To give you a sense of budget envelope, it was low 5 figures. So a serious upgrade. I will be sharing learnings, pics, my experience thus far so hopefully other owners can benefit from understanding "what they will get" with the Atmos...

I had my detailer do it since they have the right trim tools. AFAIK you just pry the plastic cap off and unscrew the two torque bolts. If you have the right trim tools it’s pretty fast.

Sharing a nice way to make your removed sunvisor look good in the car. Bought a pair of aluminum caps, spray painted the outside matte black then put two adhesive neodynium magnets on the inside (sticks to the mounting screws). It's a perfect fit, removable and easy to restore to factory if...

I don't think they sell them OEM?

Bought them off a dream owner.
