【AT-SE180＋Rear Luggage Area Installation: Original Speaker Cable Installation for 8CH+ Multi-Channel Systems】

AT-SE180 is our shop’s original speaker cable, prepared by LOGON through extensive testing together with Audio-Technica.
Assuming it will be used in a serious multi-channel system of 8CH or more—such as when installing a DSP amplifier and multi amplifiers in the rear luggage area—this is an installation plan designed to properly set up the sound’s signal path.

Car audio isn’t determined by the speakers, amplifier(s), and DSP alone.
In systems where wiring from the deck/DSP/amplifiers to each speaker is long, the cable quality, routing, how the length is taken, and the reliability of the connections all have a significant impact on the final result.

This cable isn’t based on the idea of simply adding an expensive wire. Instead, it prioritizes being easy to use in real in-car installations and actually making a proper difference in sound tuning.
It’s the part that acts as a “foundation” when you adjust a multi-channel system—things like the contour of the vocals, the way sound starts up, fine nuances, and how well the left and right channels connect.

Since it’s a multi-channel system with 8CH or more, we want to take care of the wiring details as well

When you concentrate equipment in the rear luggage area, it often involves running individual wiring from there to the front speakers, tweeters, midranges, woofers, and so on.
At this point, what matters isn’t just routing cables—it’s installing while taking into account the vehicle-side structure, equipment placement, serviceability/maintenance, noise countermeasures, and even possible future system changes.

At LOGON, we install while checking the necessary length for your specific vehicle, avoiding making it unnecessarily long and preventing impossible/forced routing.
It’s an invisible area, but if you do it carelessly, it will affect later sound tuning and everyday usability—so this is something I consider quite important.

This is a plan to build the sound as a whole system—not a cable-only solution

Rather than simply installing the AT-SE180 speaker cables by themselves and calling it done, it’s a part for assembling the sound overall, including DSP tuning, amplifier configuration, and speaker installation.

When you listen to your usual tracks, vocals won’t be pushed too far forward, and they’ll image naturally.
Instrument layers won’t become cluttered, and even when you raise volume, it won’t easily fatigue your ears.
It won’t be only the bass that stands out—the entire front stage will connect cleanly.

To achieve a finish like that, you need to consider the wiring, installation, and adjustments as one continuous process—not only choosing the equipment.

The meaning of having it installed at LOGON

Even with the same cable, the final result changes depending on where you route it, what length you build it with, and how you arrange the equipment.
Especially for multi-channel systems with 8CH or more, there are many cable runs, and it’s important to think ahead about how easy it will be to inspect later and to change specifications.

At LOGON, we install not only for a clean appearance, but also while considering the sound quality, maintainability, and future expandability.
I think this is especially meaningful for people who want to say, “If we’re going to build a proper system, we want to get the wiring done properly too.”

For those who want to create truly great sound

AT-SE180＋Rear Luggage Area Installation: 8CH+ Multi-Channel System Installation is a plan for those who’ve started to feel that simply replacing speakers isn’t enough, and for those who want to build a well-tuned sound using a DSP and amplifiers.

Although cables are not easy to see from the outside, their effect is clearly reflected in the finished sound.
Depending on the vehicle model, speaker configuration, amplifier installation location, and planned future expansion, the recommended ways to set it up will also change—so let’s look at your car and the direction you want to listen in, and work together to come up with the best configuration.
