I have alpine type r 6.8 in the doors and alpine type r 15”s for the subwoofers right now I have everything crossovered at 80 hz and 24 for the dp slope. My amp for the 6.8 filter is on high. Can you please tell me what settings are good for my door speakers so they don’t blow and for my subs thank you

Great vid..!

Here for the crossover slope, great explanation 3:30

Can you use a remote with the 5000nex model?

What does the phase button on the subwoofer do will it hurt the subs If I have the phase button with the sub facing down

I have the avh-4800bs. How would I make it sound better

i have a pair of pioneer TS-6900PRO speakers on the front doors and a pair of TS-M650PRO speakers on the back doors, what would be the ideal crossover & slopes settings for them?

Whats the best crossover for my 6×9's

Sweet! Thx! Very helpful

if the lowest your midrange speaker can play is 40hz then where would your crossover and what slope would you set? i have mine on 63 with a 12db slope. would this be sufficient?

I have a avh7200 dab but the volume only goes to 40 is their a limiter on these steros I have a old Peugeot 307 06 model

I have a question. I had the Pioneer AVH-5600BHS and when you used the mic to do the auto EQ you're not able to change any EQ settings only the sound presets. With the newer NEX radios, can you change any EQ settings after you run the Auto EQ or are you stuck once again with what the Auto EQ gives you?

Bsquared yes I believe it just give you a warning that you are changing them.

Great vid, I really enjoyed all the NEX video. I have a question on crossover, can you do bandpass for the rear? I would like to run active front end so I would use the rears as the mids and the front for the tweets.

That was the one feature I was hoping would make it into the NEX radios. Right now the only radios that have that feature are the AVH models (except the 4100). It is called Network Mode and we have a video up on it. What the radios do have is the ability to turn on and off any xover, but no bandpass. Thank you for the question.

Great video! Can you tell me what's the purpose of the crossover "Phase". I played with my 4100. I toggle back and forth the phase and discovered the subwoofer was louder. Will that cause any damage to the amp or subwoofer by choosing the wrong phase? Thanks for your help.

@FiveStarCarStereoInc

7 жыл бұрын

Michael Zeiss no it will not cause any damage to the sub. The reason it is there is sometimes the woofer, because they are mounted facing backward or far away, can play backwards to the other speakers. This is out of phase, turn it on will get them back in phase and sounding better.

Have you guys ever used Pioneers Auto EQ? I just got the AVH-4200NEX and did the Auto EQ with the mic. It disables the Rear Speaker option. Is that normal? It does sound absolutely amazing still, but I'm wondering why it doesn't it add any time alignment to the rear speakers as well?

We have not played with it in a while. Once we get the new stuff in ( Best Buy got all the radio's first) we are planning on doing a video from the install bay on that feature.

I just installed a 4100NEX in my Mazda CX-5 with an amp/Subwoofer combo. I've had the amp/Subwoofer for about 7 years, and have installed it in a couple other vehicles with no issues. My issue is the bass when using Bluetooth or connected through Android Auto is underpowered or feels underwhelming. However, when I have a CD in the deck the bass sounds good and booms like normal. This bass issue seems like it is not just limited to the subwoofer, but it is the most obvious with the subwoofer. Do you know what might be the problem? Is this is a settings issue?

There could be an EQ of some kind turned on in the phone. It could also be the music service you are listening to has poor play back. You may also want to reset the radio and start over, something may be out of tune. Some Samsung phones also have a lower volume then normal ( not all phones). Hope this helps, thank you for the question.

You are right, it was a phone EQ setting. For some reason when I hooked my OnePlus One up to the 4100NEX, it adjusted the EQ. Changed it back and it sounds great.

I didn't really understand the cross over set up. you think you can do a video for the pioneer AVH-X5800BHS. MY subwoofers really sound extortioned when I put it up to about 15 lvl volume with a song with alot of base even after I turn the base all the way down -24 bb on speaker level subwoofer option.

Here is the video on the AVH EQ settings kzread.info/dash/bejne/fp11r7V_lanLmcY.html It sound s like the gain and bass boost on your sub amp are wrong. The Pioneer radios have a 4 volt output over the RCAs. That means the gain needs to be pretty much all the way down on your amp.

Hey I have the nex 5100 and I just bought the auto eq mic, is there a specific aux port just for the mic because I have it plugged in the regular aux and it won't let me turn the auto eq on. I was just hoping I didn't have to rip this deck out again after I just put it in.

Thanks for the response. Yea I looked the manual over..the option for auto eq is always greyed out is the problem. I searched the Internet and I think it's because I used a switch to bypass the parking brake wire and apparently that makes the auto eq option permanently greyed out

+Tab Brewer that is correct, the 4100 is a AVH model not an AVIC. The 4100 needs a Microbypass.

I have the AVH-X8750BT model and there's two things happening: 1. The subwoofer On/Off makes no difference, subwoofer stays on either way. 2. I've noticed that the rear speaker's HPF crossover is connected with my subwoofer. Is this normal? I'm suspecting an installation problem here.

Love your videos guys. I'm getting closer by the day to installing my 4200nex and I am currently researching how to set the hpf and lpf...not to mention the slope and that was a really great description you just gave to help me understand it. My first question is whether to turn off hpf/lpf on the amp and configure it only on the 4200. Just so you know what else is involved; the amp is Pioneer GM-D9605, front speakers Alpine spr-60c component (65Hz-29kHz) and soundbar rear speakers (Jeep JKU), Kicker CS65 coax (40hz - 20,000) and sub is JL Audio Stealthbox (26 - 200 Hz). I realize some of this is trial and error, but where would you start ?

@FiveStarCarStereoInc

8 жыл бұрын

We like to use the amps LPF&HPF when all is said and done. We typically start with the radios crossovers just to get an idea of where we want it. Then we adjust the amp to those settings. This is more for safety then anything, that way if the battery is disconnected the customer won't blow their speakers. This will also prevent your friend from screwing up your stuff when your not looking. Both in the end will sound the same.

@jeffh2125

8 жыл бұрын

I'm not following you on the safety aspect when disconnecting the battery unless you mean that it's probably easier to get to the amp to disconnect the rca leads or blue power wire. Would you do that before taking your car in for service? That brings up a question. Is it possible to play just using the HU's power if you turn off the amp? Seems that a nice feature of a HU would be a password protected volume limit. Also seems like a "too bad" situation that you have that nice graphic, easily accessible crossover config in your HU, only to have to mess with hard to get to and hard to see pots. You'd think at the very least there would be some HU interface to the amp's crossover settings. Thanks for your input. Hope you can explain the battery part to me.

@FiveStarCarStereoInc

8 жыл бұрын

+Jeff H if you disconnect the battery to radio goes back to 0. If you do not know you need to turn the crossovers back on you car blow the speakers. That would be why we set the amps crossover. For others that like to use the radio, after setting up the radio, we take photos. Then we show them how to set up the radio and hope for the best.

@jeffh2125

8 жыл бұрын

Oh, oh, oh....I got it. Ok, so the HU loses its settings when battery power is lost and the full range of sound gets sent to each of the speakers until you reset it. That is really bad. I mean ; that's a really bad design. Now don't get offended, but are you sure some HU's aren't designed to save that info in solid state drives or something? It would seem to me to be a no brainer to do that given the consequences of those values not being saved. Thanks so much for explaining.

The problem you are having is you are trying to use time correction on the Bose stereo. That's not going to work right because the Bose amp does not interface with the radio like a true aftermarket amp. The Bose amp has factory summing and equalization done in the amp not the factory radio. When using an aftermarket radio in a Bose system it is just for media not sound manipulation. To use the features in the aftermarket radio, unfortunately you need to take out the Bose amp. Hope this helps, thanks.
