The JL Audio DSP could use a video tutorial just as you’ve done on the Audio Control RTA. Different brands emphasize different aspects and their approaches vary somewhat. Your videos demystify what others think are secret code. Mark, your organizational skills are on display. The cart shows a common sense approach and use of products and features which make the tuning portion of the build a whole lot easier. Stay safe my mates!😊👍🏻😷
Under the bench you can rig a: car battary, smart charger and a 230V inverter, (or 110V as ypu have) . Just plug the charger in over night and the battery will suport the rig "unplugged" for a period, and also save your data if the power goes out. Sorry for poor spelling I'm from sweden, thank you for your work, I've learnd so much of you, keep up
Good idea! Definitely would be nice to incorporate some testing ability to "bench test" gear as well. This exists in another area of my shop right now but maybe it could be integrated.
That’s a great idea. They do make backup power supply’s One side is just hot power and the other side of the strip is on the backup. And when the battery starts getting low it beeps so you have a few minutes to get it plugged in
@@CarAudioFabrication Seems these days a DSP is becoming mandatory in new vehicles, I have an AC DSP in my Mustang and SIlverado but am curious about the JL.
I agree with Mark a video series of the jl max tun would be great maybe one video to do an overview then on each aspect of the tool explain how each feature works and use your camera and show us what’s actually happening. And how you are getting the results… every time you introduce a new tool or a better version of one it would be awesome to just mention what the brand is and where you can get it For example that awesome rivet tool your step up bit and where to get the Rivet. Hole chart so we know what size we need based on our need.
Doesn’t the JL Audio and AudioControl boxes just tie you into using their DSP products? Surely using a generic RTA would be better? How do you plan on listening and tuning at the same time if your laptop is on the cart outside the car?
Nice cart setup. But the best tip in your video was about the Kaizen Foam. I’ll be ordering this not only for my test equipment case, but for my camera and electronics cases as well.
Can I recommend trying out Windows key, ctrl, and "d". This gives you another desktop to work with. To switch between them, you press windows, ctrl, and the arrow keys. to get rid of them, you can click on the task view -> just to the right of Cortana or search. Alternate way to get rid of the multiple desktops, is by going to the one you want to get rid of and pushing Windows key, ctrl, and f4.
Nice setup tho ...I was troubleshooting a intermediate problem on pioneer deck where was losing signal. U was sure it was deck or rca cable. Long story ended up cutting up a rca cable to get a reading while hooked up to amp. So I'm working on building a small test box that I can plug in line and have test points
I really like this and have had similar thoughts, but for an install cart. So vice and solder station on top instead. I've tried the old bag/hand tool box deal, but just default to my 36" box that I use for general auto work, cuz work surfaces are handy in that situation and I don't have keep running back to the bench. If you wanted to clear up the work surface more, could go with something like an Intel Nuc pc with one of those Logitech keyboard/trackpad combos and then an ultra wide monitor on a longer arm for when your in the car. I would also swap that power strip with one that has power conditioning; Furman makes one. Also Mark, in your case, adding a Ram ball mount or screw base might be convenient for a camera or mic boom.
I must be doing something wrong... somehow have 7 "catch all" drawers now.... just happened to scavenge through the main bottom drawer and found an Nak ec-200, ads PQ-10 and an audio control epicenter buried in it... ohhhh, and 320i x-overs... lol - prob all untouched from the early 90s...
I love this cart! Smart thinking on having everything at arms reach. I like that. I do have a quick question if that's ok, does it really matter if you mount a tweeter in the a pillar or sail panel on a single cab pick up? I figure as long as they both aim the same direction (not at your face i would say), then it should just be personal preference, right? Or is there a difference in a small cab? Thanks! :)
I have a 2019 Dodge Challenger RT I'm looking for some good quality highs to replace the factory speakers inside the car with crystal clear clarity...any suggestions
Do you know if the factory burmester amps in the MB have DSP'S that can be tinkered with? I want to swap out a couple speakers (not quite ready to bite off the whole upgrade of 11 mids & highs locations) until I get ready to do the whole shabang and use the factory amp in the interim. Might need a consult after the new year.
Realistically, how would your prioritize the tools in your Tuning Cart in terms of importance if you have to buy them in order? What are the most frequently used, most valuable to niche tools in the cart?
Love your videos unfortunately for me none of your products like audio control etc not available in my country Hope if you can make a video on miniDSP 2x4 and or Dayton 408 dsp Love your style and organising super tools you have wish I can get you do my car CRUTCHFIELD guys if you are reading this please launch in India lot of money and opportunity here

PLEASE do a tutorial on a full system tune!

Yes Mark, please show us how to use the tuning software. Thank you👍👍👍
Already waiting for that MAX video ;)
Thanks!
I would love to see a video on the JL DSP software.
Thanks for the feedback. :)

...looking forward to the JL Audio tuning tool video...
Woooooooo! Love your videos Mark! No snack drawer?
Haha, I have a whole snack cabinet, come on now... :)
Right??lol snack drawer maybe. A mini fridge for beer… I mean soda
Love the cart it’s a great idea! The only thing missing is an iRTA 😉
Any update from Mark on the iRTA? It is a nice complement to the DM-RTA.
Nice cart! Simple yet very effective and useful.
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
I would be interested in the JL Audio max overview. Also, is that able to be used in home audio as well as car audio?
Ditto
+23
Yes, MAX is useful for audio measurements in home audio, pro audio, car audio, marine audio. You name it.
Yes do a video on the JL Max
Great video as always!! One item to possibly add would be the SMD AMM-1
Man I sure wish I was that educated and skilled I want to get on that level of system tuning.
Very nicely done, the organization is on point!

I'm a big fan of yours I love how neat you are with your tools and work space.
I would add a cell phone holder.

I just hope you still have that dinner/work table you could put locking casters on it👍
Haha that was gone like 3 years ago. I built a whole table with 2 x 4 's and a melamine top.
Merry Christmas Mark
Where do get your ground link from
The ground links for the fuse blocks that I am using on the latest build? Those are carried by KnuKonceptz
Whoa. With all these gears....You should be able to tune your way to heaven.
I want your cart! nice job!
Beautiful setup. What monitor and stand are you using with your cart?

Should get a jackery or similar so you can move it around and keep it powered
Of course we wanna see a video for that.

Yeah man. Definitely need one of these badboys for sure! Good video🤙
Maybe add a 12v bench power supply for troubleshooting amps
You should add miniDSP C-DSP.
How much would a professional typically charge just to tune a system?
Add a cup holder. 😆 🤣 😂
Can you do a video with smd tuning multimeter
Where can we find the set screw & rivet assortment kit?
If you use a DSP, do you need an equalizer and crossovers?
I would ad a usp Just in case you loose power wile tuning and keep power spikes from your electronics on the cart
Is there a headunit that can allows for accessories to be turned on/off through the screen?
Like Ford’s new f150 zone lighting?
what is the 4 best sounding car dsp? does zapco ess worth it or akm is good enough?

What microphone stand do you use with the MAX?

I definitely have some ideas, if you would like a consultation I can help you with that here: www.caraudiofabrication.com/consultations
Price range? Thats the most important thing is what are you willing to pay
Yes make a video with tune using a usb mic

CRUTCHFIELD guys if you are reading this please launch in India lot of money and opportunity here
Where are you located
What can you do to my 1999 Oldmobile Inteigue
I dont do installs but you could build an amazing system in it!
You could add a cup holder lol
Pls, what breed is your dog?
Australian Shepard
ADD A CUP HOLDER
wow msi laptop ☑️
I would have built a desktop pc in the cart and avoided the laptop overall
I would have built a computer instead of using a laptop
