Coming back to this vid after SVR…. First off the comment he made about himself at 3:00 lol! Secondly, congrats to him for taking SVR!!

Just getting into the car audio world, I’ve always been more of a tuner guy. Ordered some CLD last night after searching around!

Should I aim the right side tweeter toward the left(driver) on axis or keep the angle the same as the left side tweeter(sail)?

Nice videos you are making! How about a video that explains the AISA using with the last channel from the dsp and in to the PC/software? Specifically how to align time delay from the OEM head unit. Thanks 😊

I can't fathom dumping THOUSANDS of dollars into a system only to be judged by a man and tell me, you're not good enough. In fact, you've got the worst sounding audio system in the entire competition. Fck THAT. How sad to have to be validated by some man's ear.

Would love your help on the “switching to delay mode and adjusting by ear”

Thank you for this !!!! This answers everything I needed to get going!!! You’re the best !!!

Sound Setup is necessary for me when my wife is in the passenger seat. I have to change the setup to the one that set time alignments to passenger seat. Happy wife happy life !!!

Hope this man goes far!

If I only use the digital fiber optic input, I am assuming I ignore the channel routing for Analogue & HEC to Virtual channels? It is a bit confusing since the Analogue has all of these pre defined channels, whereas digital just has Left & Right. Also, I am stiill on the old firmware from 4 years ago when I set everything up. Are you supposed to update the Director first? or the Amp first through the director? I tried updating last week and seemed to get locked out. Fortunately I had the old firmware on another laptop and managed to go back to where everything works, but would like to use the new updates.

I'm using an aftermarket HU, its Kenwood DNX997XR, RCA's from HU to Helix Ultra.... is it necessary for me to perform these 'Input analysis' steps, or can I just go straight to Tuning?

Thanks man, this is a cool video to learn from

"When I try to talk about this to normal people..." LOL! So true.

A general or overall volume slider would be a good add...like just about everybody else's software has

Im interested in remote tunning!

Do I have this right? The aluminum layer with the butyl is to stiffen the outer door panel from creating its own “bass”. Like a foam core between two pieces of Luan plywood. The butyl between interferes with the flexing of the outer skin stopping the car from emitting road noise. While the layered foam stops the speaker noise from vibrating the door skin from the inside stopping speaker “feedback” or loud stereo rattling that is so often heard. The other flexible brands do not offer the stiffening of the door skin and use butyl as the only sound absorbing material. Would a second or third layer of the aluminum butyl not further reduce road noise and more able to reflect outside sound.

I love that IB design he has back there ! Something to consider for my New Build coming next week !

Is 100% (or close to) coverage of CLD really required? I thought shooting for 30% panel coverage eliminated most resonance.

FYI, regarding the oil in the bottom of the door cavity, I have a feeling that might be rust proofing solution to deal with moisture that might collect at the bottom. Just got my car done with an undercoating + rustproofing and the oil residue they apply looks really similar to what you see inside the door.

can differential rear fill do anything when both the “left and right” drivers are on the right side of the head? maybe using driver rear window reflection?

Great content! Learned a lot about car audio from you and your videos and contributions on DiyMa. I’m planning to apply the resonix level 3 kit to my 2024 Accord Hybrid Touring. If you have experience with my car, should I go with the 0.5 or the 1.0 “ option for my front doors? Thanks Nick🙏🏼

First off, thanks for the car door sound deadening vids as I found them really helpful, realising how far this rabbit hole goes I think I'm gonna have to still do a lot more research before I finally started building the audio system for my car. My question is whether you have any general values on the performance of CLD Lite? I see that on your website you have shown independent testing data which does not include the performance of ResoNix CLD Lite which is I'm guessing is because it came out after the data was collected? I'd appreciate if you could give me even just a general reference on its performance. While I'd like to go for the higher performance makes, I definitely think that will go out of my budget. When I first started off thinking $200 would be enough for new speakers I didn't realise how many additional components I would need just for the audio system alone.

Whats the exact behriger audio Interface model are you using to take these measurements?

Is it possible to just lay materials over carpet without removing anything? Will it have any effect?

Damn who did your tattoos? Dope!

Thank you, i am a Beginner, it was very helpfull.

What about the whole outer door panel covered in the wax type substance? That substance is rustproofing at the bottom of the door if it’s a yellow wax like coating. Look up Cosmoline, that’s what it is. Did you ever count the amount of times you said butyl in the video?

Do you know what processor he upgraded too?

the kid just casually kicking the football straight at the car with at least $180,000 in it.... Idk how you guys didn't say anything.

Great videos. Thank you for helping us noobs with getting things set up properly. But im having some issues with my Match pp86 mk2 amp, the problem is i think with the IO settings, i can't get the C and D channels to play anything but the rear speakers, even if i only have one input on the IO page i still cant make the front mid's to play. I can get the tweeters in front to work fine on channels A, B. I have tried using channels E and F instead, but the speakers just won't play for me. I have a 8" mid and a tweeter in the front doors and stock speakers in the rear, and a match pp 10e-q sub. Any help would be nice because im about to go crazy figuring this out. Edit: I can´t seem to set the gain on the amp either, no matter what signal i play on a near max volume to set the input gain i get no clipping light, infact the clip light wont light up, not even green before it goes red to signal clipping like it did on the PP62 i had before. Thanks in advance.

Nick, awesome video, as always. Question: is there a way to copy EQ settings back, from DSP Tool -> REW? Sometimes I make adjustments in Helix, and then I want to take all of it back to REW, to play around... but I haven't found a way to do it yet. Other than manually copying each filter back.

Man, thank you guys for sharing the Knowledge. this stuff you guys spoke is really helpful.

Great car. Amazing 👏

I remember that Red Fusion build log.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every video I watch of yours I learn more about tuning, thank you

Nick, funny you mentioned Bowdown on DIYMA. I am 90% sure it was him who did a small subwoofer in the dash, and if so, I had the same feelings as you did being blown away by the craziness of it !

FVCK YES!!!!

Nice!

This one is such a beautiful build, I love it

Dave. Are you from Canada originally? You remind me of a guy that left for Cali to be in car audio.

Nice to see the planar ribbons as mids. I have the same idea for my car, and wondered why its not done more often. In Diyma you see just a few posts of it. As a home audiophile for decades I have had them in different versions. They still need a box like he has. And his concerns are reel, in summer its not that good for the glue and parts used inside... I wonder how long it will last. But I will try anyhow. The FS is rather high, around 300hz so xo at 200hz is too low I think. I enjoyed this vid with a very nice chill guy. Great build also under the dash, and of course the trunk, 24" true IB wow. Indeed, Its true that with better quality in the low regions, you will find big improvement in the high frequencies. I learned that in home audio. Its strange really but 100% true! But only when the setup is really good and well balanced; the more you will notice. I would love to hear this one. Nice vid Nick!

Beautiful installation and car.

This one is great

The 24 🤘🏽😈 Contemplating whether a demo at SVR is a good idea.

Marc is a great guy and his car does always sounds great.

What an AMAZING build...!

Hell yea about Tone controls :) I bought Conductor 50% because URC4 allows only Sub volume, not tone control adjustment.

Great video Nick, very cool idea interviewing someone and giving tips!

Nice explanation Nick
