I haven't had the opportunity to meet Natan to ask him why the JBL Toyota audio systems are garbage. True Audioholics are in the best company with their own, collaborating and discussing the fundamentals, reflections, standing waves, sound treatment all the while, majority of people would think they're hearing a different language or Rocket Scientistry Mumbo Jumbo!!! Haha. Sorry got lost in thought! I'm glad I somehow discovered this video! Have a great day!
I’d like to tell everyone what a great guy Natan is. Truly loves his craft and it shows - constantly studying. Was willing to meet me in Japan one time while I was there to share some of his wisdom with me to try in my vehicle. So glad he did well at this event. Great job, Natan!
I think I might know this gentleman..... LOL Natan is amazing competitor and omg, just a great human being! He's helped me so much and I would NOT have the opportunities that I have today without him. Taylor, thanks for this video!
As I've gotten older, I find myself caring less about SPL and more about SQ. I bet this setup sounds otherworldly. I'd love to have the opportunity to hear it in person.
The downside going from spl to sq, is that you cannot hear it through the hissing and pinging from the tinnitus. As a young person you are given to paths: The first leads to hifi bliss, the second to total deafness.
I came from the era of Richard Clark with his Buick Grand National + USD waveguides, Jon Whitledhe’s THE BUS, Rich Inferrera and his CRX, Car Audio & Electronics magazine, ADS amps, Precision Power, Orion and Rockford. Came across the videp above and I’d love to re-immerse myself into high-end car audio😛
word up. I don't think this car touches richard clark gnx at all. It's sad how richard clark moved away from car auido and focused on grand national instead. Grand national is still an awesome car because of richard clark.
Natan used to have a shop in Milwaukee called Enbies (I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled). I went to him a couple times for work and he was winning SQ competitions back in the late 90's
Dear natan.... Please put an "all corrections off" setting on oem stereos so we arent having to fight factory EQ and noise cancelling.....sincerely, every car audio guy
The imaging in there has to be incredible when you close your eyes and have an opportunity to relax. Natan, take me for a ride. I don't care where we go, just far...
just stumbled on this video..I met him a few months ago in Jakarta..he was doing a small presentation about this car. And got to ask him a few tuning tips...he gave clues that changed the way i tune. Really an ear opening experience...btw, he does have a dsp specially made for this kind of setup.... Installed one for a very satisfied customer, which ordered another set on the spot. It should be available in the states by now..Natan is the real deal guys..
I need this man to adopt me. Father!!!! What a absolute god, jamming the entire Lexus multimedia into a Suzuki sh-tbox! Amazing! Imagine him, seen as an old geezer, rolling into a car meet with that car and then flattening everything with the crisp quality!
I'd love to experience a demo of his system! Hopefully our paths will cross being that I'm relatively close to the Detroit area. Those new JBL's are intriguing, given that I'm a huge old school JBL GTi collector. Great video!
I wonder what's Nathan's top go to songs to test his work his preferences of audio tracks? Tech master Peb Computer love and anything dts does it for me...
Dang. My second car was a 1989 Ford Festiva, and I took the rear seats out and built a stereo in it. I got the car for $800. It was nowhere near this guy's system, but it was a start. I used to have those same Revel Be tweeters in my home hifi speakers. (I currently have some JBL's with Be Super tweeters in them) I sell hifi for a living including Harman Luxury brands, but it's always cool to see what the car audio guys are coming up with. I bet this sounds amazing. I'm considering getting back into it and doing an SQ build in my regular cab Silverado now.
Nice job. That looks like the Mountaineer arena. I competed there about 20 years ago. What are quality subs today? I see Fosgate and JL are still around. I’m looking at dvc, if that even matters now.
Also etani 1 is a great processor too the new quattro from tongom sb great I have valvalore I own the 25th anniversary sinfoni monoblocks and monolithic 1001 a etc
I drove a 95 Geo metro and my friends liked the snare on Ice Cube's rap song because the speakers are so close to you. I put 2 way component speakers in the doors but the head rest speakers are the best for stereo separation. My audiobahn 1208q has been in operation since 2003 and the best car is the Volt because it is a hatch back with a 600 amp alternator and 10,000 watt lithium ion battery. I still like the Geo Metro because I got 55 mpg and I felt great spray painting it. I got a 2012 Cruze which also sounds amazing but the Volt's electrical system is stronger and the engine noise is gone unless you want to run the alternator which increases the capability further. I am only running Jensen 900.1 but it pushes the limit of car electricy dynamics.
is there any headunit with preoutputs or a dsp like the one shown that supports 5.1 or 7.1.4, im trying to find one but i cant spend 1600 dollars on a headunit or dsp
So that system comes with those cars? If so, that would be a great selling point for some people including me. I would def buy that car just because of that alone.
Only way I could imagine this being better for my tastes is bigger/more subs, and in IB alignment, then do 8" midbasses instead of 6.5, and also put those IB.
I'm working on next SUV build with SQ / SPL. Just got 2 - 12" SPL subs. & 2 amps for the SPL subs. Both will push 6k watts RMS. Next I will order 2 Stereo integrity SQL series subs. Then their M25 MK2 tweeters. Their M3 carbon midbass speakers. Their TM65 MKIV speakers. Their SIQ series amplifiers. Not trying to compete. So STOP typing. 😆
This guy is good with electronics. But many people don’t know that winning a competition does not mean “correct, high-quality sound.” I would really like to listen to his system and compare it with mine.
I'm all about this but it's gone too far....just need a disco ball around those terrible "looking" mounts ...I showed pro 251 to 500 when I was a teenager and won a bunch of shows...but this looks like a set up at a taylor swift concert...it looks clean but not drivable
But still no truck space science will not fix that problem but its cool If i want a SQ build that is what home audio builds is for not for a car it is straight facts
So the guy has one of the best SQ systems in the world and you don't think that is a good trade off for limited rear hatch space? OK. Your straight opinions sure are different than mine. You realize that if you pack a badass SQ system in your living room you wont be able to get as many chairs and tvs in the same room, right?
What a super genuine and down to earth dude!
He certainly is!
I’ve worked with Natan as I work for Toyota/Lexus. Man is brilliant at car audio. And we talks about the 90’s he was building walls like us all.
ask him why the oem jbl toyota systems are absolutely terrible.

I cannot make out his last name I want to know who he is. I would like to have a connection with him.

You’re very welcome! Love me some Natan!
It was such an honor to meet Natan. His setup is the most intricate setup you'll ever experience in your life.
It’s amazing!

I got to see that Grand national in the late 80s I was in a low power class. That Buick was way past anything in its day ❤

Same👍
My dad said Natan built him a custom box back in the early 90s. He had a shop in Milwaukee before Michigan. He's come along way!
The sound system is defiantly worth more than the car, priorities. Well done! ! !
Natan used to have a shop in Milwaukee called Enbies (I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled). I went to him a couple times for work and he was winning SQ competitions back in the late 90's
He’s a beast. Definitely not his first rodeo!
How come No Demo to hear what it sounds like?
The most important thing is that it's a a manual. Props to this guy. Great build.

I wish I could have liked this video twice!... Amazing system. kinda feeling inadequate with my Helix and three way Audiofrog setup.
Never pass up a chance to mention the overpriced audio components in your car, so everybody knows how cool you are.
@@csj9619 why you gotta do him like that?🤣🤣
I learn something new every time i watch this. Thank You.
Very welcome. Appreciate the feedback!
Well that melted my brain .
Right? Dude is next level
Great ,Sukses for Nathan from your friend in Indonesia .God Bless You .
He grab all the trophies! Amazing build!
I'd love to experience a demo of his system! Hopefully our paths will cross being that I'm relatively close to the Detroit area.
Those new JBL's are intriguing, given that I'm a huge old school JBL GTi collector.
Great video!
It’s quite an experience!
anyway to get ahold of natan i also live in michigan would love to get his input I love mark levison for lexus system..
This is truly amazing and how he went about doing everything!
Good god, this dude installed a 7.2.4 Dilby Atmos system in a car?! And, I thought I was overkill.
I wonder what's Nathan's top go to songs to test his work his preferences of audio tracks? Tech master Peb Computer love and anything dts does it for me...
Hi. Is Natan saying that the lexus LS 500 ,has the best car audio system?
I do believe it has won several awards for best OEM system
Great video, very cool guy, loved hearing him discuss things...

Very genuine..
I heard that car at the nationals in mo . , great car
People who've only heard big distorted bass systems but never car audio designed for high end audio quality are missing out
Great show 👍.
Dude seems super cool but how u gonna have a SQ video and not play one second of music thru it?
Lexus audio equipment just tripled in price from the demand for this headunit and DSP amp integration
I think you have to be Natan to talk to the thing anyway!
Nice job. That looks like the Mountaineer arena. I competed there about 20 years ago. What are quality subs today? I see Fosgate and JL are still around. I’m looking at dvc, if that even matters now.
Nice Video! Great run through on his system.
Using that Lexus hu and dsp is amazing, if he wasn’t an oem I wonder how difficult that would be?
Basically impossible. Lol
Nathan Budiono. Was he an Indonesian before moving to the U.S? 🤔
Also etani 1 is a great processor too the new quattro from tongom sb great I have valvalore I own the 25th anniversary sinfoni monoblocks and monolithic 1001 a etc
What is the RCA model and brand you are using?thank you

Get an old jbl ms-8 for $200.
Is there footage where we can watch the process of the judging?
So that system comes with those cars? If so, that would be a great selling point for some people including me. I would def buy that car just because of that alone.
I would love to take a road trip in that car just for the music!!
Wow! This is the real deal! I'm overwhelmed.. but in a good way 🙃
Very good video
Super cool video!
I'm trying to hear this in person
hahahha, I dont need that center speaker up high, because my car is small....bahahahahahahahhahahhahhahahha. That was great.
Where does Rob Bess fall in place in all this? Thought he was some kind of champion himself
Great 🙏🏻
NUTS!
It is!
Bro, next time let the person speak and stop interrupting.
That was the frustrating part of watching this
whew, Eton Core 2 retailing at just over $2k a pop USD as of 07/27/23, and he's got 6?
I love it
Man imagine hoping in this car without knowing and just being confused af lol
I looked up those front speakers (the 3-ways) retail for $5000 a pair... Wtf come on.
He struck me as stuck up when I tried asking him about his car... lol....
Has this car a blu ray player?
Only way I could imagine this being better for my tastes is bigger/more subs, and in IB alignment, then do 8" midbasses instead of 6.5, and also put those IB.
Dsp I use zapco ess 9038 but also brax dsp but best is diatone and bewith dsp and
WOW
Right?
Good video
Hes in Michigan!? Gotta have a chat
Exactly. I really want to hear his car and discuss JBL midranges
wow amazing ~
Y didn't u let him play I would love to hear
He's got a cool looking system wish I could hear it sometime.
Bisa kirim rekaman hasil suaranya?
So many drivers grouped would be a disaster, but i'm sure he's happy.
I'm working on next SUV build with SQ / SPL. Just got 2 - 12" SPL subs. & 2 amps for the SPL subs. Both will push 6k watts RMS. Next I will order 2 Stereo integrity SQL series subs.

No Demo.????.
Need a new sound system for my car. The high's and low's are awful.
I have a true IB inverted 18 inch subwoofer where my spare tire was. I also have two 12s in a ported box. It's the best combo for proper bass.
Beryllium tweeters!?.? 😅😅😂
Psshh. Where the dBz at???
Spoken like someone who's never heard a good quality system. And this is coming from someone who also has good subs
@@bailey2517 you right. 🤓🤓🤓😂
@@klifton found the dude with factory speakers that crackle and hiss when the bass hits
@@bailey2517 psh, my base hits hard!
@@klifton bro you literally just said "base" that's a dead giveaway you don't know wtf you're talking about
Better than Scott Buwalda?
Hybrid audio lol legattia speakers come on
He might just sell some Lexus out of this video.
It's about taste no best
3:20
Isn’t Natan the guy that would beat Steve Meade in any competition SPL or SQ? I believe so.
Would be interesting Steve's lex against that dude car
This guy is good with electronics.
But many people don’t know that winning a competition does not mean “correct, high-quality sound.” I would really like to listen to his system and compare it with mine.
Heis using areana jbl come on tinny I use z studio zr opus and accuton ceramic and diamond usher diamond wilson labs tweeters areana come on
And we didn't get to hear it!
Whatever No way this car defeats Richard Clark's GNX
Also earls red bmw that one every 1st place trophy but it would be a great battle earls red bmw vs Clark's gnx
All that talk but no demo smh
Genius indonesian…
Definitely not the best sq car in the world. And why is there rear speaker in a "SQ" car. Front stage only.
You’re tripping. He has a 7.1 surround sound Idiot
Got all that from a UA-cam video.
Best SQ system but will not play a tune!
I'm all about this but it's gone too far....just need a disco ball around those terrible "looking" mounts ...I showed pro 251 to 500 when I was a teenager and won a bunch of shows...but this looks like a set up at a taylor swift concert...it looks clean but not drivable
Definitely not the worlds greatest.
But still awesome.
it's a shame that Samsung owns Jbl now
As long as they let them continue doing JBL things… I don’t care who owns em
It is not bad idea to see future Samsung phones with JBL speakers. 😆
Didn't know that😢
$5k for a 3 way component system (Arena X) will make me chose another brand…..
🤮
But still no truck space science will not fix that problem but its cool If i want a SQ build that is what home audio builds is for not for a car it is straight facts
He's probably got that too. So him 2 you 0.
So the guy has one of the best SQ systems in the world and you don't think that is a good trade off for limited rear hatch space? OK. Your straight opinions sure are different than mine. You realize that if you pack a badass SQ system in your living room you wont be able to get as many chairs and tvs in the same room, right?
Absolute waste of my f****** time I was figuring I hear the system play at least even 5 Seconds😅😅😅
I bet if he gets a whine in his setup he dont sleep for 2 or 3 days
