Matt, not only do you have the best SQ installs on TH-cam, they would be nothing without your video skills! The walkthrough of your builds along with the stills of the actual fabrication make these so enjoyable to watch!
I appreciate you and the time it takes you to put these together for us!
Your work is amazing keep up the great work
My Damn M3!...I almost wanna come from Michigan to do mines...this is amazing!
Your builds are always on point!
Adam Geggatt thanks Adam!
Awesome install, very clean nice work..
Thanks Matt this helps with what we've been talking about.
Great installations keep it up!
Looks awesome, as always.
Nice work as always Mr. schaeffer.
Isn't it some of the best Mr. House?
Lol
awesome design and execution!
Looks great. Really like the matte black acrylic with the lazer etching. The arc on the grill for the sub is cool as well.
Robert Savage thank you Robert!
Nice job.
U got madd skills bro! MADD!
Awesome setup..
I used a device like the audison DMI, mobridge etc it’s from umnotec they are half the price of other units and work very well, just thought I would mention it, once again Matt great work.
Nice job. Wish I had done some research before taking it to my local stereo shop. They messed up big time on my 2010 e93 and 3 speakers aren’t even working and radio doesn’t work anymore. Will keep searching and try to fix it myself.
I love the work gone in to hide it 👌
I’d love to see HOW this is done. Not just the end product. I’d love to finish my system out, and if I could pull something off half as elegant I’d be happy.
Car audio fabrication is great for giving you a general idea of how to do router work and lay out beauty panels
I absolutely love the look of the sleeving on the power wires. Is it custom made or just a style I haven’t seen before
Very very nice.
Matt, beautiful build as always! I have followed your work on BMW's ever since you did that amazing JL box that looked like the nose of the car. :) But this M3 build hit close to home as I am building my BMW trunk and noticed you did something similar that I did but I have not worked out the best way to finish it. How did you get the power wires from the battery to the distribution blocks? I am using 0ga wire and it is so huge, I cannot find a good place to run it without disruption. Also, how did you connect to the battery posts on this build? Thank you so much for your reply and inspiration!
Great install in a great car.. :) (Used to own one)... :-)
Nice job! What crossover Points and slopes did you use between the speakers?
Nice work ! Is their a specific reason you stick with Focal drivers mostly.
Everything touch turns into gold
Hey Matt you are a great installer love all you work but can you demo some of your projects it would be nice to hear them in action , your work is incredible love your your organization . So very neat (NeatFreak)
skippa732 I appreciate the comment. You are saying you want to listen to these car so you can see how they sound? You understand how silly of a concept that is right? You are judging thousands of dollars of equipment through 5 cent computer or phone speakers. This is strictly the reason I do not do this. Because somewhere someone listening may actually believe that is what the car sounds like. I wouldn’t go shopping for tvs judging picture quality through my computer or phone screen. You have to see a TV in person to see how good it looks. You have to hear something in person to know how good it sounds. All that should go without saying.
Any recommendations on MOST digital converters? I'm looking at the mObridge DA-G2 Pro but noticed you went with the Audison unit in this build. I'm upgrading the audio in my '12 BMW X5. Any input is much appreciated!
Please is it possible to control volume, balance, bass and tweet level from oem head unit volume control? How amp/proc connected by toslink/spdif optical cable from BIT DMI know volume level? Toslink/spdif is only audio signal or included any other comands (volume level, etc)?
Hi there. Did you need to remove the plastic tray part in order the screw the amp down in the trunk? I don’t want to be screwing down into the exhaust for example. Thanks
I wish I would have seen your video sooner before I started doing work on my BMW 🤦🏼♂️ at this point I’m just lost on what I’ve done on my car
Is it possible to use the same JL VXi amp without the Audison Bit Dmi? Trying to do a similar build but I was not aware that the Audison Bit DMI is something I might need to consider.
Not to be confused with some other installers making “reality” tv, but I would love some video behind the scenes to show some of your methods and materials.
Do the 2008-2013 BMW E9X M3s with the HiFi Car Audio option have MOST? I think this M3 Coupe has the Premium Audio System that does include the MOST Digital Interface.
Why passive speakers??
Awesome build! Can you still get a great sounding system out of the 3/4 series with just upgrading the in cabin speakers with no additional subwoofer in the rear? Say with Focals and a VXI 8 channel...maybe a seperate amp for more power to the underseat woofers? Thanks!
Not really. The woofers under the seats are more of a mid bass woofer. Not a sub bass woofer. Therefor you still need those lower frequencies. The underseat woofers need to play up to where those 4" speakers take over. About 350-400 hz or so.
@@therealmatty_s Gotcha, that makes sense. Thank you for the detailed response.
Dose it sound as good as it looks???
On a budget build would for similar car would an Audison AP 8.9 work in place of the VXI 8 channel? Thank you!
I would run the apf8.9bit. killer amp/dsp
@@jefflesser630 Thanks! Yea I realized it's under powered when 4 ohm I think. Was thinking might be able to save some cash with it to put to install.
Do you have any contacts in Ohio that can do this type of work? I have a 2016 BMW.
I was just wondering if we were going to get to see this car/install
Horace Mitchell not sure what you mean?
@@therealmatty_s didn't mean much. I had the thought earlier in the day "wonder if we'll get a vid for this install" because there were a few projects you posted on ig after this one. Then I looked on TH-cam today it was here like a surprise.
It looks like a front grill and bumper/front roll pan
Hey Matt I have the same car bmw m3 can you give me an idea on a price from the same set up
I can. Contact me through email please.
@@therealmatty_s ok
I emailed you about my E92m3
If I'm not running a DSP is there any benefit to going active?
Well the DSP is setting all of your crossover points. So I am not sure what your plan would be without one.
@@therealmatty_s I guess my question is why go active? To allow a DSP to be introduced to the system?
Daniel Saucedo by going active you can furthermore take the cars atmosphere into the tuning equation. On top of that you are gaining power that would otherwise be dissipated within the passive crossover. You are also going to have better EQ and level control per speaker to gain a perfect soundstage. The only way I ever going passives is if the budget does not allow me to go active.
@@therealmatty_s I understand. I am currently passive but eventually want the JL Audio twk. Do you have a good resource for learning more about the tuning aspect of installing. I understand the basics of crossovers and slopes but obviously there is way more to a proper tune than just not blowing your mids & highs with too much low frequency.
Daniel Saucedo you can try a mobile solutions class when it pertains to this subject. It’s really something to see and experience first hand. Trying to take bits and pieces of what people say online is challenging. That would be my best advice. If you are in the industry, you can try an event like knowledge fest. They have classes based on these subjects so you can learn the in and outs.
Question, why is audson so good, why can't just having a really good head unit, really good component sets, good sub and/ 4ch 5ch 6ch amps and accessory just as good?
That's what I say....Im sure Audison is good.But all the high end places I go to they always " push" Audison, Focal, Mosconi or Hertz products.I want to see a build with low end products ( still reputable name, like a Pioneer, Kenwood etc) and see what kind of sound difference it would be.Because at the end of the day its the sound the customer is satisfied with....I could probably save about $8-$10,000 going with a lower end and still get satisfactory...not DYNAMIC, but enough to fill my needs.The other thing is a lot of the cost goes into the fabrication, but suppose I don't want the carbon trim , 3 layers of trim or braided wires? But I understand this shop is at a different level than most shops and probably only cater to a certain clientele ( WEALTHY) not just the cats who have to work 2 jobs or OT just to afford an extra custom build.
Good point. Very good point
Are you shure that that hi end shop don't do other products?
@@chrisnas1483 I'm sure they do, but I think they want to push these higher end products, if they can, on the consumer.I went to one top installer on the east coast...asked me how much I wanted to spend. I said about $3,000 ( granted I had 2 pairs of Hertz speakers already) I just want a 5 channel amp, sound dampening to doors and deck, sub and enclosure and maybe a processor ( audiocontrol LC2i)....He said" I won't even touch your car for less than$5,000"....I know these guys are the BEST of the BEST and THAT is in the price as well....but all these builds are with high end products.Im sure any skilled mechanic, carpenter, plumber can do incredible work with the BEST tools/equipment...I just want to see an " everyday"person build.But back to your question.Yes...alot of these shops are authorized Kenwood, Pioneer, Rockford etc dealers....but those products are never show cased.
Audison Bit dmi $599
