      I started just a bit earlier.
      Really just right out of the gate, when that was all new and going on.
      Many friends had a 2 - 10x $ investment in their audio system, as they did in the vehicle itself.
      A lot of Alpine heads and Orion Subs and amps in my area early on.
      I did a couple of glove box installs in my cars, because EVERYTHING seen, was getting stolen back then.
      And I mean in good neighborhoods. Lol.
      I've always had something in every vehicle i've owned since then, but I reflect back at those times as being the best
      times for car audio, but that is with my biases.
      I wouldn't even consider a bank loan for a system now. Lol.
      I just bought a $120 wiring harness to install a $175 stereo in my kids truck. SO THE A.C. WOULD STILL FUNCTION. Lol
      I think we were in our vehicles much more back then as well.
      No PlayStation, or internet at the house.

    Very nice to see you talk about a solution to grab the clean line level signal from some factory head unit! I never get good result using LOC but when we can get the true unprocessed line level even from a factory Head Unit, what a difference! You should do a full install video using such solution when you'll get a good candidate vehicle at the shop. Also it would be nice to see you touch the digital factory link such as MOST that can also allow getting a clean unprocessed line level signal from the factory system.

You think using the amp pro would make my system sound alot better then using a regular loc? I was also thinking about getting a dsp, so if I got the amp pro and the JL twk88 I could jus use a tosh link cable to go from the amp pro to the twk88? And then all I would need is rcas from the twk88 to a 4ch amp and sub amp?

Deck was clear but we added a PAC Signal Commander in the glove box with the EQ. Man oh man when you’d hit that switch the PAC just really made it EXTREMELY CLEAR N POUNDING BASS. Even got stopped on the hiway for excessive acceleration. We was playing the first part of Sammy HAGAR’s Bad Motor Scooter. Cop though it was me shifting like that. IN A CAR LOL.

    I have a 2020 mustang gt convertible. Want to do subs initially, with front stage later on. I notice a distinct difference in sound profile when the top is down. Not the usual change in cabin resonance, mind you. Almost as though the B&O engineers eq the lower 2/3rds down approx 6db to keep people from smoking their drivers with loud music while driving top down. Is there a solution for cars like that? Or is this one of those scenarios where I would have to find the circuit that is responsible for activating the top down profile?

      Get ready to custom make everything for it depending on what vehicle it is lol. RetroSound makes vintage looking radios, but has all the modern goodies you want like Bluetooth, and albeit not as powerful, 4 channels rms amplifier. Just won’t have as good of options like CarPlay/navigation that you’d get with a double din (or bigger) normal screen. Alternatively you can do what most people do and hide the radio in the glovebox if there’s no clean way of mounting one w/o hacking up your dash, or not being able to create a custom center console.
      Make sure you sound deaden it. I know from experience how damn loud it is inside those metal old cabs and how much sound would bounce off everything/vibrate.😂

    I have a 97 BMW 540i. It’s fully loaded and includes a factory “DSP” integrated stereo that has no amp in the head unit. This is because the amplifier is a separate unit in the trunk which directly controls a built in rear deck subwoofer system. Do you know, or have heard, if an Audio Control DSP or DSP/Amp could untangle the mess and allow full control? Could it handle amplified high level straight from the factory amp or maybe even directly from the factory unamplified head unit?

If I get said device is the install complex or relativity simple. I have installed almost all of my aftermarket stereos for years, just never ran into the situation where I couldn't put a new stereo in.

    I want to install a sub + amp in my car.
    The stock head unit does not have the required outputs, and is quite basic and outdated (other than aux in no fancy stuff).
    Should I consider installing a new modern head unit with all those fancy gadgets, including the required outputs for the sub
    Or rather invest in a line out converter.
    A new head unit would be 2x the price of the line out converter, which seems reasonable for the ammount of features it will add to the car as opposed to just a line oitput.
    Will the output signal be similar from these 2 options, or is there some kind of reason to prefer one above the other quality wise.
    Looking forward to any suggestions.
    Cheers.

    You can replace your stock head unit. There are many replacement android based screens from China. Many of those head units have premium Snapdragon CPUs which can process hi-re files. All you need is a DSP for premium results. You just need to keep the stock head unit attached to the stock MMI but just put it in the trunk. It's easy to make a box for it. You'll just connect your replacement head unit to a DSP and then to an amp and connect the replacement speakers and woofer on the amp. You can connect a small speaker on the stock MMI just to play the notification sounds and in case you need to change some of the settings of the car like time, oil change notifications etc because your original headunit is still connected to it in the trunk of the car. It just isn't used for music anymore but just for the sound notifications and car settings. That's a good solution for high end cars that only have a stock radio instead of any kind of screen.

    I have a 2017 Accord LX. I want to replace the head unit but it appears the headlight settings and maintenance menus will be lost which is no go for me. The stock unit clips way too early as indicated by my fancy JL amp. So I was thinking of just putting something isolated in the car that won't clip its output. Any suggestions?

    I think the using a DAP (iPod on steroids, hi-res music player) option is one of the best, easiest and cheapest options (with a DSP) and using a 3.5mm/4.4mm to RCA. Most have line-out options and output well over 2vRMS. That’ll sound just as good as ANY aftermarket head unit and be a great deal easier/cheaper. Many DAPs have controls that can easily be used without looking (Fiios M11 DAPs are great for that). Talking about an easy clean signal,…
    That’ll set you back a decent amount BUT less than all but the cheapest aftermarket head units and many times easier/faster to implement. And it’ll be at LEAST as good as an aftermarket head unit (sound quality wise) and you’ll have it for listening to headphones/earphones, can even start getting into high end ‘phones,…

    Newbie here. My amp is 500w (rms) 20-130hz and sub is 250w (rms) 28-250hz. I got the gains set at about 11 o'clock, freq. at about 80hz, and bass level at about 11 o'clock. Not looking for super deep bass, just clean full range bass. Where do you think the "sweet spot" would be? Any advice helps. Thanks.

  • @frostbite1991
    @frostbite1991 Год назад +1

    The biggest problem I have in my '14 Grand Cherokee is nobody makes an amplifier integration kit that retains ALL the factory features. Either you lose voice commands and nav prompts, or you lose parking sensor audible warnings (depending on who you're buying it from). The PAC unit you had connects directly to the radio, bypassing the OE amp. Well the parking sensor module goes directly into the factory amp.
    I created a cheap setup that actually let me retain my factory amp, all the features (including fade which is commonly lost), and let me use my own amp. Basically just steal the signal from the OE amp, process/amplify it, and send it to the speakers. For whatever reason, nobody makes this and I don't know why. My system ultimately failed as I was just using a cheap DSP and eBay 50 watt amps to test my theory, but down the road I'll purchase real equipment to do it all over again.
    A company, or someone more knowledgeable than me, surely could make an all-in-one unit that does this, and it would be a hit with the Chrysler crowd who don't want to lose features. Why PAC hasn't is beyond me, unless maybe it was just more cost-effective to create a single unit that could work with amplified and non-amplified systems.

    0:21 that PAC has an optical connection?? I cant imagine cars using fiber digital plugs for sound being the type of cable and how long you would have to go without breaking the internals of the cable when running them. These are mainly used on home theater receivers.
