AudioControl just released a great amplifier solution for those of us that need two extra channels for our car audio system. Having six channels allows you to run 3 way components, to run four speakers plus sub, there are so many different options. This amp is packed with features to make installation a breeze and truly is an all in one unit not requiring additional line output converters or other devices. Let's unbox it!
Stay tuned for the full review! Thanks to AudioControl for sponsoring this video.

I have used Audio Control for years (like 20 or so) and every component I have purchased is still functioning either in my own vehicles or sold as used to others. Top shelf stuff for sure. I am interested in how they do as an amplifier manufacturer. All the stuff I have owned were eq/crossovers or signal processors because of back in the day installs that were lacking in that department. I have a three way system with 3 high current amps. Tweeter and Mid amps: Aria HC50 from before Memphis brand name change and Old school Autotek Mean Machine HC 100 watt cheater for JL 12w6 subs. All mid tweets are old school German MB Quart components (4 QM 160.03 sets). I am using an Alpine Multimedia station deck into a Audio Control 1/3 octave stereo eq then a Fultron true 3 way stereo crossover and then Audio Control Epic 160 for bass signal tweaking. Power is provided via a 12 farad super cap bank and 3 optima batteries charged with a dual output 200 amp alternator. If my Epic 160 db meter is correct it occasionally hits 150 db spl. The current draw peaks upward of the 200 amp range. Install is 10 years old and speakers still sound great. I am in need of replacing the Fultron crossover as I know it is the weak link. My component sets are without passive crossover as I am crossing before amplification, but iI was hoping that you would be able to suggest a better crossover alternative. Thanks

First I have to say thank you very much for the great videos. They give me the courage to do it all myself. And since I couldn't afford the install. I'd just have to have a crappy install without these vids. Now. Is that my next amp? Hmmmmm...... I'm gonna have to go check the specs to find out. Was just standing here drinking a coffee and thinking of a way to do an active 3 way front stage without a DSP. I'm going with all home HiFi gear like possibly an all Scan-Speak setup. Revelator 7 inch in the doors. Air Circ tweet in the A pillars, and some sort of 3 to 4 inch driver next to it for a high mid. I'm running an Alpine UTE-62BT w/ a PPI 900.5 and a 12 inch Polk sub in a vented box. With B2 Audio components for now. I need to step up my game.🤓

@CarAudioFabrication 7 жыл бұрын

This would be an excellent way to do a three way up front with no DSP. If you look closely for channels 3/4 there are two crossover dials, you can run a bandpass crossover on these channels, you could also do a highpass on 1/2 and low pass on e 5/6.

@amb3cog 7 жыл бұрын

CarAudioFabrication What's funny is I was staring rather intently at the controls to see what it had,hoping it was something like that, or even an onboard DSP. Since it's AudioControl and once I caught a quick glimpse of that bandpass switch. I definitely got more excited then a grown man should get, over consumer electronics. BTW you wanted ideas for the video. I'd love to know about the sound quality of it. Maybe even swap it into an existing high end setup with a similar wattage amp and compare. Especially if it were a high end SQ amp, like maybe a Zapco, or Mosconi for instance. Or a nice Alpine even. Ooh or maybe a........ See what I mean. Way too excited. I think I may have a problem.

How is it in terms of sound quality? Can it be compared to something I know, like HELIX P SIX DSP MK2? Is there only 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct? And the others? What about time correction? Which connection method can be used with android multimedia? It is important that the sound is not processed from android. How to connect then? By bluetooth? No optics? With optics it's like a clean signal as far as I know. I don't understand English very well, so please forgive any inaccuracies. Thank you

I am in the market for a 6 channel amp for a three way front but want to use a sound processor/dsp and this amp doesn't appear to allow full range amplification for all 3 sets of outputs. A dsp has better control over slopes and I don't want to have the amp apply its own crossover filters in addition.

@TheTherealdarkhorse 7 жыл бұрын

Mystic Cranberry They have models that have a dsp built in. Even in the 6 channel. Audio Control rocks. I have equipment from that are 16 years or older and still work like new. There products are rock solid. They also have a Fantastic DSP that works flawlessly if you have these models without the DSP built in.
