@10:20 Adam is right about this. My first experience with automotive wiring (at 14yrs old) was installing a head unit, luckily i bought an adaptor harness so all i had to do was match the wire colors. Since then, i've installed full stereo setups (head unit, upgrade all speakers to components, 4 channel amp, multiple subwoofers and amps) in about 12 different vehicles i've owned since then, and many many friends and family vehicles. When i was 18 i started doing engine swaps, and had to learn how do the engine harness the right way (yup, almost burned my e30 to the ground when i did the harness wrong). Now i'm 35 and i dont hesitate to open up a harness and find problems, its almost relaxing. You'll never learn anything if you dont dive into it

I said this in the last video, but since I install subs etc professionally for work I really loved this video haha. The tuning portion absolutely killed me. If you didn’t figure it out yet, it was cutting out because the amp was probably clipping and the more that happens will probably cause the amp to go into protect mode. Turn down the gain, set the low pass frequency to about 80hz. Not sure what all tuning that amp has but as long as your amp isn’t maxed the subs n amp will be safe lol. Grab a bass knob for the amp so you have independent control over it without needing to run to the trunk and turn down the bass or turn down the speakers bass through the radio. Also, throw some BlackHole sound dampening in the trunk lid and inside the door frames to clean the bass sound!

@TheRealMrRoyal

8 ай бұрын

Problem is the prime amps don't really have enough power for the p3 subs so they will clip way earlier than the punch series or T power series amps. He'll definitely have to run it at a lower gain and higher pass than you normally would on 12's 80-100hz instead of 40-50hz. This amp won't handle the low lows at full gain. It probably puts out 600rms and depending on how he has the dvc subs wired a bit more or less. If he got the T series amp he could pound them all day no problem.

If he the subs are clipping and cutting out he's either getting distortion causing it to go into protect mode or he wired it wrong. Well he fixed it by turning the gain down so wasn't the wiring. Also could be to low impedence depending how that box is wired with 2 2ohm subs.

A possible suggestion would be to use Audio Control's line out converter with bass restoration. Factory head units pull bass at higher volumes to prevent speakers from blowing. Also you'll gain a remote bass knob so you can adjust the bass to what you want at the time.

Thanks for this, it was a nostalgic ride for me as well. My friends and I did the same stuff growing up and thought it was so cool and unique. I really felt that when you were sorta underwhelmed. We just did a radio and speaker install for a friend and it wasn’t as exciting as it used to be.

we need more videos like this makes me feel like you talking directly to me instead of a whole audience while also showing us how to do simple diy's. amazing

This channel is literally better than any car show on tv and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come Adam from the webisodes to the cars it’s truly been been a joy seeing who you have become and what you’ve turned your business/ life into. Keep up the amazing work Adam and LZ team!!

So glad to see the e46 content, really brings me back! I recently bought an e46 wagon it’s RHD (I’m in Ireland) and it’s a 3.0 diesel, 300hp and 430lb ft with just a tune! It was super cheap and will hopefully be at drift events next season at Bishops Court!

Right? I still use the bass drop in Between The Lines as my subwoofer test song. I love that Adam's stuck to his roots there, seems like so many people get older and turn their backs on metalcore under the pretense of "growing up."

Car audio in the early 2000s was the best. I still remember buying my first set of MTX thunders from Circuit City. How times have changed 😔

This was a super cool and chill video, love the garage stuff!

Its actually unreal my first car is a E46 325i and my first mods were sub woofer and angel eyes (closely followed by a short shifter lol). Now I've got a E82 135i as a second car and I've got say, a crusty BMW is an awesome first car to get into cars. The problems and the community/mod support both mix well enough to allow someone to grow if they're just entering the car community.

Wow these videos compared to the old ones are amazing the background music everything I have been watching since the 335i and love watching this channel turn into a masterpiece! 🎉

Soooo, I was at work when I was watching your videos working on this car and today I’m at work 10 years later watching this again. Wild hahah! Proud of you Adam!

I find it hilarious no matter how many cars how many mods anyone has done to any car putting subs and listening to the trunk rattle brings joy to us all

Dude yes!! Love the E46 content! Also had a 330 as my first car and the factory auxiliary connection was the first mod I did as well haha miss these cars

Dude definitely a nostalgia trip talking about the DirectTv and building coaux with the pops, my dad also worked for them and I can relate and you bringing that up was definitely a memory I needed

seeing adam go through what i just went through a year ago is just the best thing ever. Everything's spot on

LOVE E46 CONTENT!!! your old videos are one of the reasons that made me get mine!!! insane its already been 10 years!

Jimmys having a baby and realizes he must finish everything because it’s gonna be all about the baby after lol love to see it!

Loving the small mods anyone can do, the nostalgia is getting me and I am going to look at a car exactly like my first tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's like dude says...

i am the only person who found adams reaction to mike suggesting taylor swift funny 😂

Can't believe I've been watching this channel for 10 years now. Insane! Keep it up LZed

i have the exact same car right now, and its actually my first car as well. I love watching these videos because it allows me to live vicariously through you. These are all things i wish I had the money to do to my 325i but do not. Love livin it through my favorite youtube though. thanks for the great content Adam

Oh Adam, don't get the Swifties mad at you, you could get canceled, lol. Love the nostalgia.

Seeing stuff like this again makes me want to work on my car again. This is the motivation stuff. More simple videos like this would be cool. Reliving what made you want what you have now. It’s nice to see

i bought my first car last june, my 05' 325i, it makes me so happy to see you with your first one as well.

Loved every second of it. Please make them as long as possible. More project E46 please!

I'm getting a bit up there in age, 58, but I still love it loud and love shaking the car. I mostly listen to rock and the classics. I have ported single 12 on a Rockford 500 watt amp. (642 on the birth sheet) My limitation is making sure it works with stock electrical. Also I keep the seat down to let a lot more bass in. :)

I spat my drink out when you said ‘A Milli by Lil Wayne’ was your test song. Never have I felt something so deeply relevant/nostalgic watching a KZread video. Exact same song we used when I was younger down here in Australia

I love how it feels like a 2014 vid from og KZread, we need more of some pointless but fun vids like this keep it up my boi love ❤

cant believe I've been watching Adam lz for 10 years and my car loving journey started 12 years ago

Woah this takes me back. Love the video. One thing you could mess with is seeing if you can 3D scan the trunk and make slim sub boxes out of carbon or fiberglass/kevlar. You could get away with an 8 and a 6 with a long port tube that goes up and over the rear wheel well. The subs would sit in that little pocket the trunk makes. You'd get good bass but then still have room for your stuff. Back in the 00's we did it with aluminum foil, masking tape, and Meguiars Caranuba wax. We'd mask the whole trunk, aluminum foil in the area, wax the foil, then lay up really chunky chop mat. Then you'd build your mounts and box out of MDF on one side, fiberglass on the other so it tucks flush.

Nostalgia. Everyone wanna be flashy but you can’t beat it. 2:45 classic LZ. Chelsea Grin FTW 🔥😈
