I bought a audio control Lc2 I to add to my factory stereo in a VW Caddy Highline. I have 2 amps. A mono amp for my jl audio sub and a 4 channel which I'll be using 2 channels only for JL coaxial in the doors. I bought a Steve meade DD-1 to set my amp gains. How do I go about doing this when a Lc2i is being used. Any help and advice from anyone is much appreciated 👍 great channel 💪

@@CarAudioFabrication thank you

Thanks for sharing your builds, I have a Wrangler myself and have done completed audio upgrades on the Jeep and your video's are encourageing me to continue to enhance my system.

My Rockford amp had a Bass knob but I couldn’t find a place I liked to mount it in my Ram. So I made a digital potentiometer circuit and used 2 small momentary buttons that I hid behind the fabric on my arm rest. So all I had to do was press where my hand usually sat, and adjust the bass as needed. Hidden and works well.

Dude, your videos are helping me so much with my installs! Most of my time is going into becoming a different type of profesional so, I can’t afford to pay an installer like yourself (one day) but for now I’m happy to produce what I can, even if it’s only half of the quality you do... it makes me happy ✌🏼

I’m from Germany and i really like how you installing your system. I looked so many videos from you in the last time and i have learned so many things how i can make a clean install by myself. Last weekend the time has come and i installed my new audio equipment in my new car after nearly planned it for two months and it’s awesome but it looks not so perfect like yours. I wished i had so much tools that you have, especially the router. You inspired and helped me so much and i wanted to say thank you, hopefully we all can see lot more videos from you.

You have got REAL CLASS, how you work, how you present and your appearance. Compliments my friend!!!

Love the tutorials. Detailed and delivered

my dad had an audio control amp in the mid 90s that had a 10 way dsp adjustable on top of the amp built in. It got stolen from our storage unit while we were moving, along with his solo 10, my first ruger 10/22 and a bunch of other stuff that I do not remember. This was in 1999. But man, his mb quart reference mids, tweets with that solo 10 and audio control amp in his badass suburban was so cool. That's the vehicle I was 16 in. I still have my audio control 2xs from that era with a pair of the 6.5 mb quarts out of that burb... paired with my ppi powerclass. (first gen, lets be real the only one that matters). 250. 2100 and 450. I am getting ready to put some of it in my 95 fj80. I am going to put the rest which came out of my 97 civic coupe back in the coupe. I still have it! 94000 miles. that i put on all but 48 from the showroom. People give me so much shit about keeping the car I had when I was 16. But it's about to be b18c5 swapped and I can't tell you how many car shows I have been to where people are regretful of getting rid of the car they drove in highschool.

It's probably best to protect the pcb of the ACR3. The moisture in colder days could corrode /damage the connectors and solder joints. I would unsolder the LED's and the potmeter and install them separately to populate those unused caps. I'm looking forward to the make over and how it will turn out. 😋👍

Very clean setup

I really love to watch your videos. I really like car audio too, and i want to earn money by tuning peoples car audio and later installing audio systems for people. You have a lot of knowledge about what you are doing and i really love that, seriously... And that you tell exaclty what you are doing each step are helping so many people! I have one question! Can you make a video where you show and learn us, how to tune car audio by our ears and what the difference settings means.

Hey Mark, did you ever make a video showing how you put the ACR-3 into one of the blank panels? If so, can you point me to the video?

Are you hiring? Lol I recently rekindled a passion for car audio and your videos have kicked that passion into overdrive! Ive almost watched every video you’ve released haha I want the knowledge! I personally appreciate what you do here on this channel and I am a huge fan, if you ever have a spot open up my resume is prepped and ready to send! Keep it up! Top notch stuff man!

well done Mark awesome build, awesome watch professional

Great video as always. I don't think you can go wrong with "Audio Control" equipment as well.

Your builds are always out of this world! That being said, dang, audio control is spendy!

I've asked Audio Control to add a "pro" mode where you get a full range of xover options. Maybe you can ask too ; )

You almost have the setup I want in this video....... I want the D 4.800 and an LC 1.800. Sooo much easier and less wiring needed for that setup over my bit 10, amps and passive crossovers. I would run my Morel Hybrids active with the D 4.800 and then run my 12w6v3 with the LC 1.800. I need money!

@phizzle24

5 жыл бұрын

Tickle Fingers that would be an excellent system. Running active with everything (crossovers/slope/levels/time alignment) is a step or 5 forward, especially with the Morel Hybrids, they need the powahhh! I’m curious why you aren’t already running active with your current setup considering you have the Audison Bit 10? Might be worth a shot as it would be a lot cheaper than new equipment, although weigh up resale of old equipment as well. Just in case you aren’t aware (don’t know your knowledge of it is all, no offence intended), remember to put an inline resister on each tweeter when running active so that if there is every a failure in the signal chain, your tweeters aren’t instantly blown by trying to play frequencies too low. Good luck with the next stage of the system 🙂

Nice clean work

How much does your alternator push for these? Cause I was thinking about upgrading lc1.800 dual p2s for the lc1.1500 and getting some dual p3s.

Hey mark I got a question for you about the LC2i. I want to run an amp for my sub and an amp for my four door speakers. Now most 4ch amps have two sets of rca inputs. The LC2i only has one set of rca out for main. How do I use the LC2i to hook up a 4ch amp and a mono block amp for my subs?

Not saying this is you but WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE fall on this crutch of "Man I can't do that, I don't have the tools". Instead of finding reasons you CAN'T do something find a way you CAN. I seriously just had a guy send me pics this week that made a BEAUTIFUL one of a kind subwoofer enclosure. He did the whole thing in his back yard with literally a circular saw and a cheap router mounted upside down in a piece of scrap wood. He found a way to make it work. I didn't always have the tools I do now. Quality tools make things go faster and get a better finish, but you can still get great results with cheap tools and SKILL. And for the record, I have made several "cheap tool" videos, and no one really watches them, which sometimes makes me think people rather just complain than learn. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZplraaznb25daw.html

I need help i have a factory amplifier installed for my speakers front and rear. Noe i bought another amplifier with subwoofer. I do not know how to connect them together... Do i need to tap my other amplifier for connection or my head unit? Also it has rca cabels but does not have an input for them

Hi, can you please help me choose right amplifier to power my 2 10” subwoofers dual 4ohms and 1000 RMS each (combined 2000 rms and i wired them in parallel to make 1 Ohm load). I’m choosing between 2 taramps amplifiers, one is giving 3000 rms output at 1 ohm and another amplifier is 5000 rms at 1 ohm. Which one will be best for this setup? And also i have more questions, is 3000 or 5000 rms power more than subwoofers need? Is this extra power going to blow subwoofers? Or do I use 2500 rms amplifier? Thank you

Finally I been waiting on video like this!! I got 2 kicker cxa 600.1. Going on kicker L7s.

Does the amp not get hot in that enclosed area?

@caraudiofabrication and fellow viewers, I need your input. Thanks to this channel, I've made the effort to install a sound system in my current car and I'm so close to finishing it that I'm amazed I even got that far. I made mistakes, wasted money on wooden speaker spacers, did my research and I'm now at a point whereby I have 99% of the items sorted. I just need to install my speakers and route my speaker cables to my doors. This project was an effort in learning how to do a sound install for myself and to see what was required. I could have just paid someone to do it for me but I wanted to learn so I see the money as education expenditure rather than a waste. Right now I need to get a new subwoofer and I'm looking for a good entry level SQ sub that works well but doesn't blow the budget. It'll go into a Toyota Corolla. I previously had a Targa sub, now I have a second hand Evo and I'm looking at a Polk, DLS, JBL, Rockford Fosgate etc brand as I'd like to hear the bass but not be overwhelmed by it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Your inputs are much appreciated.

I am enjoying following this build as well your build on the other Jeep from a few years ago. What Head Unit are you using or would you recommend in a system like this.

Can you do a video on how to make a phantom center channel speaker? Kinda like the center channel speakers used in most OEM premium audio systems?

Have you run a power wire for every single amp to the battery or just one wire to the battery. How that works?

Question... I bought a box with 2 12" polk audio subs in it. While installing box into car, noticed only 1 +/- connection for speaker wire so i pulled the speakers out. Both speakers are run by dedicated wires for each sub out of the 1 connection on the box. I've noticed that the speaker furthest away from the box connector drops out. Should i wire the speakers inline of eachother?

Hi, What I'am unable to understand is ---- why some components speakers have small form factor crossover and some have a big one. Alpine have a small and lets say Hertz or Helix or Gladen or Ground Zero have the big one, I have in purpose mentioned specific names ( I have looking to upgrade my stock audio system, today: 2 way components ( front and back ) not bad in sound quality for stock audio really, just not good enough for me... What I have intended to upgrade : 2 way components ( front and back ) just high end ( SQ / SQL ), amplifier ~ 800 W RMS 5 or 8 channels, sound processor 6 or 8 channels, subwoofer. So why speakers with 500$ price tag ( Alpine X-S65C) have small crossover box with only 2 capacitors ?

Clean install, I'm putting the same setup in my 16 Silverado. What fuse did you use at the battery? And what size did you use on the block?

Im doing my first custom install so I have some questions. I basically don't know anything about stereo install but I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can. I'm installing a component system for the speakers with an amp. I'm also installing 1 12" in the back with a separate amp. I hear a lot of talk on most of your videos about a digital signal processer. Am I required to have one on my build? Or can I just do the 2 amps, sub, and components, with my factory head unit.

Does one 5 channel amp sound worse than separate amps for 4 speakers and a sub?

Hi can you tell me how to run 2 subs with 2 amps? I have read conflicting info. Stereo or mono? Not exactly sure on how to feed signals to the subs from amps.

Yes!!! Another upload!

Can i connect two different amps with different ohm for one sub

Are two or three amps bad for ur stock car speakers or no?

So I have this idea that I want to run a dedicated battery and alternator (if alternator is needed) for my install but I don’t want to run off my stock battery nor do I want to bypass the ignition key. Would it be too much to do a video on this?

Can you combine 2 different brand amps together? Both are monoblock.
