Hi,
I mean the center coax speaker.
Is that black cable the speaker cable and just needs clipping on?

 

Hi Guys,
I have the Harman NLI HU head unit.
Does it have a MOST 25 output?

 

What year? What does the amp input connector look like?

 

Hi,
It's an MY17.
I haven't seen the amp yet.
Is it not possible to tell without looking at it?

 

I see both a digital ethernet, pink plug and what looks like a MOST 25 connector next to it. If it is a 17 the it will likely be MOST 25 to the amp.

 

Looks Amazing !

 

Nice, hopefully they didn't just dress a turd up in a new suit.

 

Hi,
So is the MOST25 connector the twin black one with the pink stripe?

 

I believe so. Just pull the plug and see of its 2 fibers.

 

Hi,
I mean the black wire here.
Is this pre-wired to the amp. Does this plug into the speaker and have a speaker connector on the end of it?

 

Yes there should be a plug and should have wiring to the amp. If you didnt have a speaker there the will not be any singal on it. It would only work of you had Meridian 770 Surrround system.

 

Hi Jag,
Im planning my upgrade with a Helix DSP.
Just trying to figure out if the shop would need to run a wire or not.
Can anyone with a center speaker confirm if the black wire is already wired up and has a speaker plug attached to the center channel speaker?
Cheers.

 

European MY17?

 

Hi yes.
UK.

 

If the wiring is present almost 100% sure it runs all the way back to the amp. I actually have a speaker in my dash location in the 2020 although it is not active, I did have continuity all the way back to the amp. Helix will be a good choice. Actually as of last week they released an updated ver 5.01 of their DSP software. Added some very useful tools to help unwind the Meridian processing if you can't get a MOST 25 audio interface and have to use speaker level signal as your source signal.

 

Hi Jag,
That's very good news, thanks for that.
​​I have to wait a few months for my install.
Just gathering as much info as possible.
Currently I have the Meridian 380W system.
Hopefully adding the center channel will help with the staging when it is tuned.

 

Is it the same black looking cable by any chance?

 

Cool but frankly, the center channel speaker is not really necessary for a driver seat tune. All about time alignment/ impulse response. I don't have a center channel and my center image is rock solid and I used physical measurements. I currently run a Audio Control D6-1200 6 channel for my front 3 ways. The Automatic Time Measure feature of the Helix DSP is even better and gets you closer to perfect alignment than physical measuring can.

 

Is there a good source for C2D 2079? or C2D 24865 (the center dash upgrades)?

 

As far as I saw when I removed my tweeters they use the cheap (low quality) non-Kevlar drivers and non-Ti tweeters
