I've been researching into this topic and I came across information that claims a sound quality difference between wiring for 2ohms vs 4ohms. And I'm not talking about volume, I'm talking about sound quality and reproduction. Can you please cover that in detail?

DAMN YO!! Wire Loom Tool? Who knew?.. 😮 🎉

Wait! Came to see which way to face sub, and left STILL not knowing..😮

In the late 80s, I custom built my own sub box with 4 12"s for my 1985 (now 3rd gen) camaro. It was perfect. Unfortunately, I got rid of the super heavy box. There aren't many good choices for a sub box for them online. They have an oddly shaped space in the trunk. Do you have any recommendations for an old bass head with my (currently stock) 3rd gen camaro? I wouldn't mind smaller subs with an integrated amp solution.

Do we need a line output converter with this?

I love all ypur video wish u would make a video on doing everything as someone who does it eith basic and everyday tools

First date with girlfriend,dont like radio on while driving

Using any kind /type of drill made

I'm going with two AudioControl spk-10s4 and wiring them to 2 ohms

You might want to have a look at PETG fillament.

The biggest mistake I’ve seen is when they mounted in the box and slip off the screw and put a hole in the sub

If you're doing it for sound like myself...face the subwoofer into the car not towards the trunk cause it looks cool from the trunk .. nobody cares it's for sound in the car..or if it is

Looks like they no longer sell this

K, who else came for the Jeep install, and ended up with Router Lessons?.. 😂

Phenomenal work!

Is there a reason you didn't use the RCA SUB outs from JL Audio FiX™ 86?

New to the car audio. Im currently working on replacement my OEM speakers, with no additional amps/sub. But ive been brainstorming the possibilities of having a removing unit for the amp/sub if i was to fit it in my trunk, just like this cause there may be some instances for i require more space. This definitely solves that issue or will inspire me to make this kinda build eventually. Do you guys have an instruction for that cable line coming from the OEM head unit to the back.? I may need to do that line/cable work before attaching this to a removable unit like you did here.

Odd, I usually buy what I can afford, then try to figure out how to fit it all, willy nilly..(whick im bout to do, hence watching these vids).. 😅

This is why a DSP is needed for every system. So you can control everything. Get better SQ. Your system will be focused instead of sounding like the speakers are playing everywhere. And you can take that same sub/box and put it in another car and it will not sound the same because every car's cabin is different....

those jl audio speakers are so nice

One thing I noticed about my cables on a 4-channel amp is that the outers end up touching each other. Is that okay to have the grounds touching each other?

The main reason why I am interested in getting a DSP is to play music in such a way that reflects the ambiance of a social acoustical environment, I am installing a ATOTO S8 along with an ATOTO amplifier in a 2002 C5 Corvette with OEM speakers. The OEM speakers do not sound busted to me. I am the first and only owner of my Corvette, so I am very familiar with this history of the car. I want to play music and shut my eyes to see if I can simulate the sound that would come from a Church, Amphie-theater, Jazz Club, and perhaps a Canyon type surrounding. The idea is to full the mind to think the music one is experiencing sounds as if one is not sitting inside a 2 seated convertible corvette.

My CCA wire reaches my trunk. My OFC wire only reaches under the driver seat which I’m not a huge fan of mounting amps under seats. Is OFC wire that much better that I should just mount my amp under the seat?

The term crossover seemed a lot more complicated and specialty than it actually was until I realized that you don’t need a DSP to filter things out

Would this still retain the trail and 360 cameras on the Raptor ? Also is the camera quality better with the screen because it's terrible on the factory unit lol Thanks

Funnily enough, we metric folk still tend to use inches when it comes to speakers for some reason

What would be a schematic if you are running dual batteries

So how have these held up over the years?

How to fix clip lamp, amp turns on but no sound. Bass habit 1000.1df. Problem was of burnt subwoofer.

Great informative video as always....thanks for sharing!!!

@CarAudioFabrication hey what the chance you can help me fix my sound on my car i have alpine dps, alpine component an other amplifier of alpine i had to 4-5 different Professionals in the field of audio systems paid money and they just dont know how to work on this system i want to learn it by my self you can help me with that?

I have a couple of questions if any one can answered I would really appreciateit. What is summing and how you bridge channel 5/6 for a subwoofer? Thank you I have this amp, I installed it my self and I love it. It is super clean. I recommend.

It's slightly off-topic, but another issue for quite a few applications is installing aftermarket component speaker-tweeter combo sets on the front channels. Most automakers have the speaker and tweeter in parallel, creating a 2 ohm load. Most DIY installers will just plug into the factory wires leaving out the included crossover since many consider it too tedious to run the extra wiring...especially if the tweeters mount either to the pillars or to the dash. Thus, the aftermarket speaker/tweeter sets will try to draw too much off the stereo, resulting in hideous high pitch clipping from the tweeters if the volume is too high.

am i correct to say that it doesnt matter if i connect double positive and double negative wires to one sub woofer , vs just connecting one positive and one negative to one subwoofer? thanks!

Who else is riding around with no door panels to show off these bad boys??!!!???

This dude is doing God's work. I'm system savvy and this was in sinful. Thank you

If you want the best sound quality put the mid bass speakers on custom dashboard pods and move the instrument cluster to the center instead of the doors

Thankful of how he helps people learn

Crutchfield doesn't have my vehicle😢 2014 dodge ram.

What's powering the system?

Question. Trying to decide between the stinger heigh10 and the alpine restyle i407-wra-JL. Any thoughts on that?

Are AMT tweeters prone to get damaged in summer heat like 50 deg celsius and in car temps can go much higher?

is the next video you do going to show how you setup the LOC amps and DSP? this is the part a lot of us struggle with, thanks and love your videos !

I have a 79 Lincoln that died on the road today. It was the result of a bad alternator. Now, I believe that it is an original spec alternator for that vehicle (60 to 70 amp). I have a very small aftermarket sound system that is 800 w, powering two, 12-in subs. My question is, do I just replace the alternator with something similar to factory spec? Or, do I go with something bigger (like 100 amp or higher)? I've heard that going too big. Can damage the battery and possibly electrical components in the vehicle. Just want to know what I should do in this situation? Thank you in advance

I'm getting far into this car audio hobby, and so far, I've done it like this in my current car: 1st: head unit, subwoofer and wires that was capable of running the sub 2nd: component speakers in the front doors with a compact amp and it's own bad wires for a short term upgrade 3rd: replaced power wires with a thinker power cable from battery to trunk, added power distribution block with fuses in the trunk, added way better amp for the doors located in the trunk, added a high quality (quad shielded) 4-channel RCA cable to the new amp, and added short term speaker cables from amp to front doors next up, as I'm going to do it: 4th: component speakers in rear doors, add permanent speaker cables to all doors 5th: either sound deadening or add DSP 6th: do what wasn't done at #5, and tune the system I will get a better head unit as well before the DSP, but idk when, it all depends on money, ofc, and because I need a car to drive pretty much all the time, I must have a car available during the whole process, which results in sound deadening to be late in the build, even tho I know it will improve the sound a lot :/ might do the sound deadening step-by-step, so starting with just doors, then trunk, and do the rest later, but idk. maybe the roof as well because I know it's really soft, it's so soft that pushing with a few finger on top of the car, it will flex

I've installed subwoofer with a lot of help in my previous car, then moved the subwoofer to my current car with little help and got some JL Audio C5-650's in my front doors at factory locations with most of the job done with help, and I've helped a friend installing a similar subwoofer in a similar car as my current car, so a total of 3 installations, none which contains custom fabrications, yet. I will get a subwoofer box custom built for a JL Audio W7 element one day, but not something I'll do by myself, as I'm far from being a woodworker. I'm a PC guy, tho, so I will probably program some custom lighting for my interior, controlled by a micro PC like the Raspberry Pi 5

This is great if I ever upgrade my stereo. Until then, No Head?

Nice work Mark

4000! My system is probably 2000 and that’s mostly headunit
