Good video. It amazes me that manufacturers do not understand the value of a actual rotating knob. There will never be a time when a volume KNOB is not a superior control than ANYTHING else. Make your customers happy, bring back knobs!!! ;) They should at least offer a blue tooth knob. One you could mount anywhere you wanted and connected via blue tooth. This would be the perfect compromise.

Not to mention the deck lid. Every panel that vibrates your loosing SQ and DB's. One last thing 2 limitless lithium? How many hours? Did you upgrade your alternator as well that Toyota with an enormous amount of electronics help running the engine, all sensors, safety systems HD lights, that pulls a ton of amperage. Your handicapping your system and compromised your cars ability to run properly. I've been a auto collision body and painter for 31yrs also a car audio installer on the side since I was 18. I'm 50. Giving you knowledge I didn't have when I started. I currently have 2 -18" Skar EVL's in a custom built (by me) 8.2 cu.ft box in a Yukon Denali tuned to 32hz. Fosgate mids and highs front to rear. Sony 7" HD head unit. 152.89 on less than 3.5k total rms on subs. Custom panels melding everything together to make it look like it was supposed to be there. I love Sony, but to many no's for me on that head unit. There is Zero chance that floating screen will stay on when I get over the 149 mark. I'm like most people...still knobs.

Small correction if i may: LDAC is a codec that's used for streaming audio at higher res VIA bluetooth. Its a tech designed by Sony that allows streaming at 990Kbps (can do 330,660 and 990) so triple the usual MP3 bit rate of 320Kbps. Compared to SBC (which is what most Media Receivers use) the bit rate is superior and the sample rate is doubled. BUT that means almost nothing if the speakers that are hooked up to the system are sub par off the shelf OEM cans.

Still no optical / digital output. All the major DSP's support it, why don't more "high end" head units have them?
@Joe020man2 жыл бұрын
So the way I understand it is that Optical is digital, if you were to connect your phone (Digital) to the Head Unit (Digital) then again to the DSP which will convert the digital signal to Analog (RCAs) wont be any different than just connect your phone directly to the DSP through type C to toslink. When buying these high end Head Units you're paying a good chunk of it for the DAC built in, which I believe to be better than what most DSPs have inside of them.
@bbfoto72482 жыл бұрын
@@Joe020man It all depends on your specific vehicle and system setup. There are some specific modern vehicles such as a few certain BMW's and Audi's that are known to have EMI and/or RFI inducted noise issues when trying to install an aftermarket car audio system. It's also a problem in classic and muscle cars that have a very high output ignition spark system. In these systems, it's a huge advantage to have a digital optical output that is isolated from the electrical system of the vehicle, which eliminates ground loops and inducted noise. If you are going to use an outboard standalone DSP, a digital optical output is also desirable because it again mitigates inducted noise issues and ground loops, but also eliminates extra and unnecessary analog-to-digital & digital-to-analog conversions in the signal chain. In this case, Less is More. This Sony mobile ES head unit is one of the first with a fully Independent Left & Right GEQ or PEQ in the DSP section's network mode. This is extremely important if you want to achieve a realistic and balanced soundstage that floats way above your dash in your vehicle with lifelike tonality and realism. So if you are not going to use a separate DSP, the high quality ESS Sabre DAC in this Sony Mobile ES head unit is among the best on the market, even when compared to high end home audio equipment, and at this point in time, no other head unit has this INDEPENDENT Left & Right EQ functionality.

You don’t get hi-res audio with optical
@bbfoto72482 жыл бұрын
@@cesarcervantes5840 Sorry Cesar, but you are incorrect. Yes, you can get "Hi-Res" 2-channel (stereo) digital audio via a Digital OPTICAL connection/cable, which includes Toslink Optical Cables using the Sony/Philips-developed S/PDIF protocol. "Hi-Res" is generally defined as any digital stereo (2 channel) audio signal that provides a higher Sample Rate and/or greater Wordclock Bit Depth as compared to the Redbook CD standard of 16-bit/44.1kHz. So even 24-bit/48kHz is considered "Hi-Res". A Digital Optical TOSlink cable (Toshiba-Link) using the industry standard S/PDIF protocol has a data rate of 125 megabits per second (Mbps) to 1.2 gigabits per second (Gbps). This bandwidth easily allows for the transmission of 2-channel Stereo at up to 24-bit at 96kHz sample rates. And FYI, the vast majority of recording studios and pop music is still produced at no higher than 24 bits at 96kHz sample rates, and often multi-tracks are just 24/48 to conserve CPU power and storage space during the mixing process. Using the same Optical "TOSlink" cable, but with the "ADAT Lightpipe" protocol, this same Optical cable can transmit 4 Channels of Digital Audio at 24 bits at 96kHz, or 2 channels at 24 bits & 192kHz. I actually do this Every Day in my home recording studio (I play drums/percussion & Saxophone) when recording using my MOTU 8Pre-ES USB/Thunderbolt audio recording interface connected to my computer and the PreSonus Studio One DAW/recording software. I also connect this MOTU 24/192 8-channel recording interface to an additional separate outboard 8-channel microphone Preamp/ADC unit (the Audient ASP-880) using a single Optical ADAT connection (the exact same cable & connectors as an Optical TOSlink cable) to add 8 More Channels of Uncompressed digital PCM audio recording at 24 bit resolution & 48kHz sample rates, or 4 channels at 24 bits & 96kHz sample rates. ALL over a Single OPTICAL Cable. Again, in the Recording Industry, "Hi-Res" is generally regarded as anything higher than the Redbook CD standard of 16-bit/44.1kHz. Please refrain from posting misleading information if you do not know the facts.

This Sony unit is a replacement radio for a vehicle. It does not have any built-in speakers. It does have a 4 channel amp built in as well as preamp outputs that allow amps to be used to power the speakers.

It doesn't move out the way when needed? Its a huge screen and will probably block something else on the dash.
@crutchfield2 жыл бұрын
The monitor does not move after being installed. During the installation, it can tilt up/down(+/- 10 degrees, be moved forward/backward +/- 0.75" (changes how close the screen is to the dash), move vertically up/down +/- 2.375", and lateral left/right +/- 1.0" to help find the optimal installation location for the vehicle its going into.

Im not very knowledgeable about car audio.......Does the EQ, crossover, ect control work through the rca cables too. I have it in my Crutchfeild shopping cart now, but I'm trying to decide on what amps to buy. If I can customize the sound before the amp, it seems I can save some money on amps.

We could make the wiring work! But, we do not have a way to mount this radio in the dash. Our kit does not have a way to hold onto the chassis of this radio so it stays in place. We could wire it in, but cannot mount it in place. You might check with a custom installer to see if they could make a mounting kit for it.

It looks like there are eight versions of the audio system in the 2008 Cobalt, but fit doesn't appear to be a major issue. To make sure we're working with the correct audio system and the right installation gear, I recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone or chat to discuss the vehicle's details.
