creating sound from scratch (professional advice needed)

Hi everyone. I'm from Ukraine and USA, I haven't used a translator for a long time since English is not my native language. Anyway, I will start from afar.

At first I chose offline, trading, customization, etc. That was a long time ago. A break of about 7 years. During that time autonomous made a real leap and offered all sorts of new devices. 3 years ago I decided to build the sound in my car and for that I had a HELIX P SIX DSP MK2, Diamond Audio hex (metal) squeakers, Steg midrange (can't remember the series) and based on that I wanted to continue building mine. I couldn't decide which car it was installed on, and then the war came. I lived in Mariupol, so the house can be said no more, although something remained, but I do not plan to appear on the occupied territory. By the way, what I planned to put myself, is still there lying idle) And the rest is all stolen. With the prehistory is over.

And now to business. The car is a 2017 Honda Pilot station wagon. Want to build something that will please me and my loved ones. Definitely build a sound stage with a processor. Currently waiting for a parcel with a new Morel Hybrid 602 (MT350 tweeter) I think this acoustics will suit me, as I have heard the systems of this brand many times and used them myself. In the meantime I'm adding a midrange and subwoofer.

Now the questions.

1) What unit currently has similar quality to the HELIX P SIX? I looked at the HELIX P SIX here in America and realized that it is too expensive. And I think that if I buy the HELIX, I should buy the ULTIMATE version. Maybe you can recommend something else? What is the quality of the class D?

2) What kind of multimedia cradle to shop for? I don't want to connect to a factory unit at a low level, I need quality sound. I want to buy an android one. Maybe I'll order one from Aliexpress.

3) What are some ways to connect the processor-amplifier? Is the best way is optical? What about the sound quality if using Bluetooth?

Thank you all for your feedback.

Привет всем. Я из Украины и в Штатах я не так давно, я пользуюсь переводчиком, так как английский не мой родной язык. В любом случае, я начну издалека.
Раньше я занимался автозвуком, торговлей, кастомизацией и тд. Это было давно. Перерыв около 7 лет. За это время автозвук сделал определенный скачок и предлагает всякие новые устройства. 3 года назад я решил построить звук в своей машине и для этого был приобретен HELIX P SIX DSP MK2, пищалки Diamond Audio hex (металл), среднечастотники Steg (серию не помню) и исходя из этого я хотел продолжить строить свою систему. Я не мог определиться на какую машину ее установить и тут грянула война. Я жил в Мариуполе, поэтому дома можно сказать больше нет, хотя что-то осталось, но возвращаться на оккупированную территорию я не планирую. Кстати то, что я планировал поставить себе, до сих пор там валяется без дела ) А остальное все украдено. С предысторией закончил.
А теперь к делу. Машина Honda pilot 2017 года универсал. Хочу построить что-то, что будет радовать меня и моих близких. Однозначно строить звуковую сцену с процессором. На данный момент жду посылку с новым Morel Hybrid 602 (твитер MT350) Думаю, эта акустика мне подойдет, так как я уже много раз слышал системы этой марки и сам ими пользовался. Со временем добавлю среднечастотник и сабвуфер.
Теперь вопросы.
1) Какое устройство в настоящее время имеет качество, подобное HELIX P SIX? Я посмотрел на HELIX P SIX здесь, в Америке, и понял, что он слишком дорогой. И я думаю, что если я куплю HELIX, то мне следует купить версию ULTIMATE. Может быть, вы порекомендуете что-то другое? Как качество класса D?
2) Какую мультимедиа рассмотреть для покупки? Не хочу подключаться к заводскому устройству на высоком уровне, мне нужен качественный звук. Хочу купить андроид. Может быть закажу с Aliexpress.
3) Какие есть способы подключения процессора-усилителя? Лучший ли способ - оптический? А как насчет качества звука, если использовать Bluetooth?
Спасибо всем за ваши отзывы.

thank you. I don't know why the translation didn't work )
 
Whatever you do, do not buy from Ali Express. That is a poop chute of bad quality products and terrible customer service. What is your price range and how in depth are you looking to make the install?
Typically you stream the music from your phone to the stereo via Bluetooth. Then the RCAs from the stereo run to the processor, and from there to the amplifier.

Що б ви не робили, не купуйте в Ali Express. Це жолоб поганої якості продуктів і жахливого обслуговування клієнтів. Який ваш ціновий діапазон і наскільки глибоко ви збираєтеся встановити?

Зазвичай ви передаєте музику зі свого телефону на стерео через Bluetooth. Потім RCA від стереосистеми йдуть до процесора, а звідти до підсилювача.
 
хола? Nosotros hablamos ingles en el foro y escribir ingles.

Thank you. I'm still pricing it out. I don't want to spend too much, but it'll turn out the same as always. I need something that will match the morel acoustics I ordered. I agree about Ali, I've had experience. But in terms of quality, where is better? I need multimedia with optics and that's it.

A good place to start would be Crutchfield or Sonic Electronix. You can enter your cars year make and model and they will tell you what fits and how to install it. Crutchfield usually has more accurate information and gives away free installation gear with the purchase such as the mounting brackets for your stereo. They sell a lot of multimedia receivers that are single and double DIN, and also Android and Apple CarPlay if that is something you're interested in.

As for a sound processor, I would just use an app on your phone. Power Amp Equalizer is free on Android and probably Apple too. 30 Band Equalizer and input gain adjust from your phone. A sound processor just is not necessary if you are using an aftermarket stereo because it already has RCA output

Why is this the only decision you think is a good one?
