Dude! I'm living for this build right now. It's almost exactly what I want to do in my F150. I cannot wait to see the box you build for those subs.

Just wanted to say thank you Mark, as you are a great and knowledgeable person, and I enjoy the videos.

Thank you for watching!

I am sure this new system will be very sweet. I have the TW1 10 in a custom, ported enclosure. I built the box using techniques I have seen you use. I have the XD 800 8v2 and a Rockford Prime r500 running the subwoofer, the XD runs my hertz mid bass and midrange, with morel NT120 tweeters in the a pillar that I also made using your techniques, this is all controlled by a Zapco Z8 IV. I used knuconeptz wiring, and distribution, as well as stinger 4000 RCAs. Good bass, good mid bass, and the highs are great. Also sound deadened the entire car, so no rattles. Only issue I have is two separate but distinct noises, one is alternator whine, the other I have yet to figure out. I am sure one is a ground issue, but the other I am not sure.

Had an DM810 installed because of your influence and this channel. What a difference!

Please do that video on the RD 1500/1. No one has really done a full review on it or really gone in depth on the 1 or 2 ohm switch, which is rated at the same 1500 watts rms.

I have the RD 1500 amp. I switched over skar skv2 1500 amp. RD 1500 is a way better amp. It produces deeper bass, is louder at lower volumes and doesn’t get hot. Definitely worth the price. I use to hear about clean power but didn’t understand what that meant. I do now

Are you going to post the during and after install? I’d like to see how you install the tweeters in the pillars.

Good amp for the F150: Alpine PDX-V9 with 100W RMS x 4 + 500W RMS x 1. Tons of subwoofer power and crystal clear sound all in one.

I have a 2004 chevy silverado 2500 crew cab. Doing a custom build. Lifted the seats 4 inches ( kids enjoy that a good bit). Removed the seat frame to make maximum room. But made sure to keep the seats fully operational and safe for the kiddos. I can make about 5sq ft total using 1/2inch mdf and about 4.5 Sq ft using 3/4 inch thick mdf. Will have a few audio control parts. (Epicenter and overdrive) plus crossover possibly. But it's up to four 8s or six 6.5s. It will most likely be a skar system just bc I've heard great things about their upper line of speakers that don't cost as much as other brands. But could six 6.5s deliver the chest vibration bass or should I just go with the four 8s?

I’m looking into adding a sub amp to my 2021 Nissan Titan Pro4X (with the Fender Audio System) Which amp would you use to run two JL Audio TW3-D8 running at 2ohms? This AC amp or the JL Audio RD1000/1? Also, the factory sub is mounted under the front passenger seat. I believe that sub has a dual voice coil because It has two sets of speaker wires running to it. Should I connect the amp to those two sets of speaker wires? Or get a signal somewhere else? Please help. Thanks

Nice equipment going to be a great build

Your videos are very helpful for lot of guys. Do you have any suggestions for installing a big audio system in a hybrid car (Toyota Camry hybrid 2009)? Thank you.

Question: I have a 2013 Impala with a factory head unit, 6 1/2" speakers in the front, and tweeters in the "A" pillars...Do I have to use the crossover? Or can I install the tweeters in the oem position using the factory connection and just use the speaker in the speaker location?

the best sounding 1000 watt Amp I've heard compared to 3 major brands and it won. JLJX1000. runner up was kicker DX1000. currently own a Rockford t1500bd and it's the best Amp on the market hands down. for the price point

always like the sq q\sound of jl speakers. i got the dm 608 , once i decided to go class a/b on highs and mids i'm gonna sell the 608 and get the 10

Thanks VW for using oddball sizes and 3 ways in my front doors. Oh and for riveting my woofers to the door. and making my mids super shallow. Sounded great when new, dont get me wrong. but hella expensive to get replacements and aftermarket solutions are close to 1k just for the fronts. (focals)

Hey great built man, loving it...i have an issue with my system. Would appreciate, if u can help. Somewhat experienced here, have a setup of sony bt/cd stereo, clarion eq, jl audio c1 100ct tweeters with crossover, rf front door speakers, rf rear deck speakers, rf powered sub, with a distribution block, jl rd4/400 amp. Recently added a Massive audio 3 way crossover because i wasnt getting the sound i wanted. Now i m getting the sound i wanted but my driver side tweeter keeps blowing. Replaced it twice already. Its stressfull cuz i cant figure out why only my driver side tweeter is going bad, what could be the problem?

Should be 225 / 50 hz based on the specs. It's 1100 @ 4 and 550 @ 2 so it stands to reason it would be 225 @ 1.

I just got 2 JL 13W7ae’s for my Dodge Challenger. What mids and highs would you recommend to pair with those?

I love the concept of those JL Components. If only AudioControl would add PEQ to their DSP... It's hard to calibrate with only GEQ

Why not just use the 6 or 8 channel VXI and ditch the 810 and 2 channel amps?

I'll be honest, I got a sundown audio xv2 18" sub and I haven't been able to give it up lol, I only have one but its destroying my car hahaha doors clapping. Love the channel

I'm glad you're finally doing a truck system. Hopefully you will take on a Chevy 2500/3500 in the future. Do you you have any experience with DS18 8" inch subs? Do you think JL Audio has better subs than Memphis Audio subs?

Mark I just picked up a set of these C3-650's, What would you compare them too for quality of sound? Would they match up to a mille pro, or a focal flax maybe?

The RD series amps are nice on bass, however, for mids n highs, I'm not a fan of the RD. I think the sound is very flat. I like they way Rockford Fosgate sounds. It sounds more dynamic and musical. The power series to be exact. I know those amps are in completely different ranks and class, but its my own experience. Idk how an XD or HD multi channel amps sound against the RF Power series amps, very curious.

I'm not a fan of RD for highs because out of the three 4 channel amps I own , it's the noisiest . Those balanced differential inputs mean you can't ground the RCA or the noise gets worse .

I was about to start shopping for replacements for my three 10W1v2-8s and it appears JL doesn't have an 8 ohm 10 currently. Is this correct?

Addicted to this channel!

Hey Mark, in order to get the best of both worlds (i.e. the low bass of a ported enclosure & the hard hitting bass of a sealed enclosure), can you put two of those subs in a sealed enclosure and the other two in a ported one? Or would that cause resonance issues? I don't think I've ever seem a system with such a setup. Would you please elaborate?

@andrewjohn6853

2 жыл бұрын

Yes you can have any configuration of enclosures, or even a ported and sealed in a single box, limited to space available but it might be better to have different subs to suit the enclosure type. Resonance issues will appear regardless of enclosure combination.

Is there a video of you setting the crossover points and tuning the system? Back in 1989 I had 2 Electro Voice EV 15B In an EV TL606 enclosure in my Chevy s10 blazer. It was powered by an Alphasonik PMA 2175 CLASS A Amp. Was about the loudest and best system I have ever heard.

Do I need to upgrade my 180 amp alternator for a 1000 watt rp skar amp and a 4500 mon block skv skar amp 4 6.5s mids 2 or 4 evls 12s

So this is kind of long winded and I do hope you read this: I've recently started saving and researching for when I decide to ultimately modify and upgrade my 2007 Sonata Limited. I want to strip the audio system out and put in a completely custom 16 speaker sound system (like I said modify and upgrade). Anyways I've kind of picked majority of my speakers if not all that I'd like to go with. I've also picked out the Alpine PXE-X09 but I watched one of your other videos and apparently I still need an amp, thing is I'm trying to go as few additions as possible and I'm currently stuck on what else I'll need to complete this setup. Again I'll be modifying interior panels and the inside to fit all of this. My goal is to have a top of the line luxury sonata with the BEST audio and functionality. I know its cheaper just buying a new car but I want to have fun with this. If you have any helpful tips and points I'd appreciate it, heck if I get enough money I might pay you to help if you're interested 😂

Awe you like the Ford 150. Red 03 Lightning owner here. My Red rocket is never for sale. I went bonkers installing things to make it a pain for 2 guys to get my gear out in 6 hours. Dude you have to get a D class mono bass amp. Another amp for mids and high. Capacitor between. Single cab pickup everything has to be balanced. I didn't expect: nobody knows how to really work on it unless they have several Lightnings. Most Lightning people own more than 1. I want to look at the alternator. It is19 yrs old. I want to redo it would much rather upgrade before something breaks. Did the big 3 upgrade. Dad helped me unbolt the seat and throw in tricks. Suddenly after doing that I stopped getting robbed every 6 months. I need Dad to help me w diagnostics. JLs are engineered great. My HS boyfriend had the system. single cab pickup.just Subs. Nothing for highs. It sounded really good. I don't understand how he got his black v8 Chevy to handle so many demands. Early morning that sorta delicious rant. Sry but not.

@CarAudioFabrication This is probably a noob question but ive been looking all over your page and cant find an answer. I see you have a 1500 watt amp to power 4-300 watt subs totaling 1200 watts. But you used a 300 watt amp to power 4-75 watt component speakers totaling 300 watts. One of crutchfield amplifier articles says to not but a amplifier whose rms is rated higher than your speakers. Would this damage the speaker. If not how do you prevent this?
