    I'm stoked to watch this build progress! I've been curious about about all the drivers you've selected and I'm excited to hear your opinions on them once they are installed. I've got the Dayton dsp installed one of my rigs and love it (other than how bright the display is on the remote. I need to move it out of the dash location it's in now because it is distracting at night.) Keep it up, I'm ready for the next episode!

      This last weekend I built the amp rack for the upgrade and installed the Dayton DSP. Now I have a problem with turn off thump. When I bypass the DSP the thump goes away. After I get the thump sorted out I will post the amp rack video. Then I will make a video on how to get rid of turn off thump! It's going really slow right now. We're experiencing a heatwave and working out in the garage is brutal!

      Me too! I usually try to get the build mostly done before I start publishing videos. So this could be a complete train wreck! You will find out about a day after I do if it is.

      I am honored that you take time out of your busy life to watch my stuff. Here is some neat info for you. SonicElectronix house brand (the NVX X series components) use SB Acoustics drivers. They provide some serious bang for the buck if you can find them in stock.

    I have a 2008 Ram 3500 Quad Cab.
    I went with JL speakers in that ride.
    3 JL tweets across the dash and a pair of 4" JL mid range.
    Each front door has JL 6.5" component
    The rears with JL 5.25" components.
    My bass comes from a JL 13W3 in a custom peripheral ported tube enclosure that I made from wood and fiberglass, similar to a Bazooka Bass Tube.
    I'm running a pair of JL 400.4 HD's for my full range and a JL 600.1 for the sub.
    I was previously running a pair of JL 8w3's also in peripheral ported tubes with the 13W3 into a 1.33ohm load as per Wilson Audio's test on the amp.
    The sound stage is very good and with test tones, the highs make dogs blocks away bark, yes, it's very loud and clean.
    The bass in the 55hz kick drum center is extremely punchy with the trio of mixed subs and extended low and loud.
    Wrenches on my across the street neighbor's were rattling on his bench.
    All that with zero noise and clarity at painfull output levels on music.

    Can you make a video on how to wire the dash speakers so the radio can see them as their own channel? My jvc has the fade and balance provision but I don't know how to wire them. My dodge is like yours 07 without the speakers. I want to add like you did. Not sure how the jvc would communicate with the signal prosser .

    • @DIYAudioGuy
      @DIYAudioGuy  2 роки тому

      Not really sure what you mean. Most head units only have four channels, so if you're going to run dash speakers and door speakers That gives you six speakers. So you really can't put the dash speakers on a separate channel.

    Oh man air motion transfer tweets! You can use a capacitor in line with the mid to the tweet and free up a pair of channels for the rear fill. That’s what I’m going to have to do when I put a stereo in my wife’s Hyundai

    • @DIYAudioGuy
      @DIYAudioGuy  4 роки тому +1

      I've been thinking about that. For now I'm going to run the front stage active through the DSP so I can experiment with the crossover between the Tweeter and mid. The air motion transformers shipped with a capacitor. apparently you need one because the tweeter will present a dead short to the amplifier at low frequencies.

    @3:24, Why is the rear seat sitting on the subs?!? There's a perfect impression of them on the seat base. This will be killing the bass.

    • @DIYAudioGuy

      It also scratches up the surrounds on the subwoofer. Far from an ideal setup. I am assembling the parts for my next upgrade and I'm going to remedy that.

    with how inexpensive these are you can simply just run two of them in tag team and that should work. for an even more budget option basically is 7.1 Channel sound card and get two of those fixed to a Raspberry Pi
