Wish this channel existed 20 years ago when I was a teenager just getting into car audio. Everything I learned I had to dig around on the forums and spend hours upon hours doing research.
Literally thinking about not going to college and just do car audio
Nice. Now I can tell my friends just go watch the video and quit asking me. Haha!
Mark is very thorough and detail oriented. You can find everything you need from his channel. It's nice to find it all in one place. When I was 18 it seemed like everything was shrouded in secrecy.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
And They say the UA-cam search algorithm is broken.
Props on the video. Perfect place I could have started my journey into custom audio.
Dude! You’re helping out the car audio world so much with your videos. I talk to people all the time that have no clue what I’m talking about so thank you
I love this channel. Gods this just explained the whole thing. And explained why my new speakers sound like crap 🤣🤣🤣.
👌👌👌👌 good stuff dude :)
SoundmanCA When will the new box be done ??
SoundmanCA 100%
Good info as always
Straight from the kitchen fab HQ!
Ive always been inspired by you and I love your videos. Ive been trying to create some boxes myself and I do a bunch of LEDS for them. I really enjoy it!
Man I’m glad you exist! Lol I was finally able to explain to my lady on the terms of audio! She’s was always asking and I really just couldn’t explain into detail on what the terms were and into detail ! Thanks for helping me and possibly everyone else!
Thanks very much Mark, for this great sharing. I just know and understand that DSP is a must component for audio system. From this video, I explore more about the DSP, and now I can tune my after market radio unit and amplifier to sound like the factory built in audio system :) Great thanks for this fruitful sharing :-)
Honestly bro.... This was the best darn video... I learned everything I needed to know in 15 mins.... Perfection and preciseness.
Great info, brotha.. thanks for taking the time to explain these terms.
I already know a lot of this stuff but nothing wrong with a refresher now and again. Awesome vid 👍.
Got the opportunity to see this video early and much more when I became a part of the pateron team, great stuff mark
Great video, I definitely needed that!
Nicely done Mark!👍👍
I have watched this almost a dozen times! Great info and I WILL GET THIS DOWN!! Thank you for all of your videos, they have been helping me to understand all of this before I actually start my build and choose what all I want for it! Best audio information UA-camr that I have found!!! You sir are amazing and awesome! Thank you for giving your time to help others like me learn and understand! 😊🤗💞💯
Ééé é ée êe éé é ré é e ce é
Epic info as per usual!
this was a classic video Mark, thanks
Thank u for taking time to do this👍
Maybe some specifics on speaker definitions? And maybe u already covered this in a speaker selection video, but Freq response, S/N ratio, or for bass box building Qts, Fs.
Bet your sound stage is on point in that car🤘
I like the way you did your teaching on this vid vs the box volume vid. Easier to understand. Thank you.
Thanks for making this quick and informative.
Like? No, love! Awesome video dude! Great info explained very well! Keep up the good work!
I'm trying to learn all about car audio for my work, so learning the basics. You did well on how you presented the infomation.
Best explanation in the world thanks for your time and knowledge
Great information great videos ....thank you?
wow!Very professional sharing！
Awesome video thank you!!!
Good stuff 👏🏻 thanks 🙏
Good video !!! well done.
This is really great information! Thank you!
Very good info.Starting to get back into car audio. It's a lost art.
Nice job
great video, thanks for spreading the knowledge, wish i would found this channel before i started my car audio upgrade, the professional car audio stores in my city were not the best resource for helping me come up with the best system for my application.
Very good
This video was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Amazing tutorial.
Thank you, concepts are now super clear for me.
Awesome, GREAT info to help me choose system components
Got some serious equipment in that trunk there! Nice
Very useful Video. Thanks for making these videos, I bet many will Serve. Greetings Mark from Mexico
Great stuff! I finally understand crossover and hertz ranges.
I haven't seen a video yet about cables. What makes a good cable and what should I avoid.
Great great video Mark!!!! 👍👍👍 It was very helpful for people who are trying to learn about car audio!!! As far as when you talked about the difference between SPL, SQ, and SQL sound systems, for a person to achieve having a SQL sound system what kind of sub's, speakers for the mids and highs, and amplifiers would a person have to use to be able to have that kind of sound system!!! I have only seen people with either SPL or SQ sound systems!!! How would a person be able to distinguish between a SQ vs a SQL sound system when listening to both Mark??? Please explain!!! Once again great video!!! 👌👌👌
Damn dude those fusion audio are dope brahhh!
great stuff
Hey man great job with info videos I am new to car audio world i have just finished install on my budget build 2 svc 4ohm 12s picked up for 50 each built box enclosed before I knew anything picked up amp from Wal-Mart 1000 wat 4 channel jensen and ran into few probs was so mad 😠 was bout to give up then started watching some your videos and realized I had factory head unit but was using rca low input when i needed high was blowing fuses nightmare all figured out now so im hooked gonna stay with this set up till I can do these big upgrades still alot to learn so keep them videos coming thanks man great job
Grrreat stuff dude!!!! That really helped, I have one question though in modern amplifiers what would be the dangers of hanging them upside down on the roof of an SUV?
...a fellow dog lover... i knew he was a pretty cool dude, but that confirms it... a dog named hertz... VERY cool dude! ...thats awesome... & good job on the vid man... ive heard alot of these terms before, & even had a general grasp of the meaning, but i did not know alot of the technical aspecs behind these terms... thanx bro & god bless u & hertz
I may have missed it but oms it’s something everyone should know about also
Thanks 🙏
Fuck yeah, Mark! Very well presented. Wish your channel (and UA-cam) were around back in the day when I was learning all this stuff. You just saved so many people so much time!
Well somebody has been attending Dr. Evil's sign language classes.✌"LASER BEAM" ✌
By the way great video...👍
Freaking laser beams!
Could you make a part 2 going over what ohms mean (in laymans terms lol); monoblock, 2 channel and 4 channel differences; what each knob on a standard amp does; what parallel wiring is, etc. Thanks in advance!
Omg thank you so much
I love the way you talk. I wish I talked like you with my voice. Haha
Good stuff! The car audio dictionary.
Glad you enjoyed, I know a video like this would have helped me immensely when I got started, so figured I would try to help you guys out!
@@CarAudioFabrication Your a good man Mark, and thank you for all you do for all of us !
Great video, terms you can also explain would be, ohms, bridging an amp, capacitors, clipping an amp, distortion from subs, airspace I know you hit that one but...
Ah, yes. Speaker ohm ratings are an extremely common spec that everybody in car audio should understand. It affects amplifier performance and speaker performance.
Hertz was definitely the cutest term on this list
Good info wish you would have explained clipping when you discussed the gain. Been watching a lot of your vids and am about to try fiberglass for the first time
The video I linked goes into that, hopefully those looking for more info will follow to that. :)
That dog is so Cute 😍 +1Subscriber!
Just a thought. I’m sure some people would like to see a video about wiring subs. Going over the different ohm loads how it affects the amp and things like that. Thanks and keep the videos coming
Great Video👍🏿
I know im late, it being 2 years old already. Im an amature installer, and when I go to the local sound shop and begin inquiring about these Particular products, I cant seem to get them to go into details like You. because Im wanting More control, planning on going with Focal 3way comps in my Caddy Srx(2014 Premium)for my front stage, Deleting the center stock speaker, and now, realising how the position should be angled, But my Rear stage is a pickle for me, Because of those 2 speakers in my rear decklid.
Now, after listening to You, solidified my choice in for my rear doors & decklid & about investing into an A/C DSP. Most importantly, saving me some $ in my build.
And intergrate my new Tesla style unit.
Thanks!✌🏿
You’ve taught Doug B. Very well 👍🏻
Bruh.. you just explained everything!! Literally everything an average guy at home needs to know. I know a little more but generally if someone watches this and went to a shop for installation they’d know enough to see if they’re getting ripped off or bad job done. Nice one buddy! I like this!
Maybe a video on the quality of speakers and what are good speakers for your application
Cool dog. Hertz is also a speaker brand. I'm a retired electronic technician so I understand all these terms but I do occasionally come across something I hadn't heard before. It's interesting some vendors don't recommend a crossover for component systems - probably because the tweeters come with an inline non-polarized electrolytic capacitor whose capacitive reactance increases as the audio frequency lowers. I wish I still had access to all that test equipment you have.
Hi Mark, can you make a video talking about different configurations of time alignment, thank you from Mexico
Love the video only suggestion is maybe in the description list each word in bulletin with or without definitions would be very helpful for a refresh without watching the whole video again.just starting to get into car audio running 2 sav2 12s with a sa3000d on stock doorspeakers and pioneer headunit. Thinking about putting 2 alternators in with capacitor. Any suggestions would be helpful! Looking to upgrade door speakers whenever i have more money and get tweeters with 3 components
Sweet dog dude. Hi Hertz!
Hey man I love your videos especially your budget section. l just watched your T line video and i was thinking could your build a full SQ style car audio setup using things like parts express, dayton audio, maybe even cheap Walmart kickers? If so please explain your choice also probably skip the dsp cus most peoples budgets can't seem to afford one... so maybe a more affordable way to do time alignment. Any thanks for the awesome videos I would really like to hear your opinion one what I would call the High School Setup lol
You should build a wall sometime! It would be fun to see all these techniques you show us in each of your videos used to build something for SPL 😀
The rms to max always gets me
Can you make a video on explaining components,coaxial,subwoofers,crossover,bass tube etc and who should pick what and types of setup
Thanks now i know stuff about speakers😂
Could you do a video on ported sealed and free air as I'm planning on putting a sub on parcel shelf to replace stock sub. The qts really important?
Hey man, really appreciate these videos. Have you done any work on a 2019 300? Wondering if I need anything special to keep the factory head unit and hook up an amp with better speakers. Crutchfeild has a list of compatible amps I can use but I am not sure if I will need a special harness or connector to use an aftermarket amp with it.
On the back of the head unit there are many abbreviations on the connections go over them and explain their use
Do I need a crossover if I'm installing 3-way coaxial speakers?
Any good batteries you would recommend
what do you think about headrest speakers?
Should make a video about choosing the right head unit for the type of audio system people use.
Need some cheap but decent 6.5 speakers. My car has 2 sets and 2 flush mounted tweeters with 6x9 in back deck. Its a Harmon Kardon system. Suggestions?
Is the Alpine Halo9 any good?
So with the stereos out now, with all the options to tune your music, like the keenwood dnx995s. and the amps with their dsp settings, how much would I gain if I get the dsp from audio control?
Could you explain some advanced stuff like "Depth" as you mentioned in this video? Maybe rear fill, subsonic filter, and bridged.
These would be some other good terms to add. For VERY DETAILED ADVANCED info on crossovers watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/BDKLYsGyBVU/v-deo.html
Summing too!
+CarAudioFabrication
What Threaded insert did you use on the AudioControl amps? the 10-24 looks too big.
Where do you get focal?
Another well done video...stuff like this is why UA-cam exists.
No. UA-cam exists to make money.
SO TRUE!
@@amb3cog You so smart
@@philb707 Lol
Sorry. Couldn't resist. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video thanks kindly!
Curious about how you have you BlueSea Split Bus fused block setup...are you using the switched portion (B) to turn on your DSP and then have the remote out of your DSP turn on your amps? Or do the switched terminals on the BlueSea turn on all your devices??
Many thanks!
I have a relay turning on everything that needs switched, constant to the other half.
@@CarAudioFabrication gotcha thanks! I was planning to have my relay's out wire go to the main terminal of 'B' portion of the Blue Sea split bus to act as the switched input wire.
And constant power from my Connection sfd41C to the main terminal of the 'A' portion of the BlueSea split bus. Then have wires from the 'B' to devices that need switched power and wires from 'A' to those that need constant. Doing so to keep all devices fused from the BlueSea.
Am I on the right track?
Hi i have questions about alternators. You briefly mentioned a battery to power your amplifier i believe? So you're saying you're not using your alternator to power all these peripherals/accessories in your car? I was wondering if i did perform this setup, i'd need a higher output alternator for a certain vehicle of course right? I was wondering, where can i find a alternator for a S2000/modify and take it apart and have it internally make more power or something.
I appreciate this info....I like to be prepared so I'm not ripped off. Audio places want to sell equipment more than fixing sound. I'm happy to pay for more labor! Levinson systems should NOT have aftermarket replacements, no?
great quality info, good throughput of information when listening at 2x , I would give you multiple likes if I could.
Hertz is a nice friend..
So would an average 6.5 inch door speaker be the same as a mid range speaker?
If I’m using a 5.25” mid driver of a component set in a 6x9 opening and I want to get the most out of that speaker, what do I need to do?
I was thinking of a 6x9 foam baffle filled with poly fill
I would like that, but that is not a choice. I hot a Herts Hi Energy HSK 130 and I cannot get a 6.5"
I understand you explained the point of crossovers, but do you really need a crossover for a sub woofer and all speakers? Never seen one so curious
Hey.... Can you tell me what gauge wire is good for high level input from factory radio to amplifier for sending signal from radio to amplifier..
Why speakers would you recxomend to pair with an nvx had 800.4? Im putting a system in a 94 mercury sable, so im looking at 5x7/6x8s and 6 1/2s and this seems to ne a lot of amp for most speakers. Im fine with components. I'm fine with you using the car for videos too Lol. Plan to also run 2 type r 10s in a ported,box on 1200 rms @1Ω
whats the relation between output watts and amphere current of amplifier???
Volts x Amps = Watts
This is such a helpful video 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 I've been needing to know what cross overs were in particular and this clears it up great
