    Actually that's pretty incredible flex and output from a 10 in what looks to be 0.50ft³.... and I know you're going to correct me in litres LOL!

      looks like you're going to have to start putting all your information into all your posts/uploads!
      1-day Peter you will understand with great popularity!
      This is the only hobby or sport or whatever have the fans being more demanding than what you hear about the movie stars being!
      Movie stars get paid millionsand usually have a stunt double or someone doing the stuff for them. Even sign their own names for them.
      You have a day job take the time to do all of this and post it and then people get so demanding. And it's not even that you are just ignoring them it's because you're busy! If you were ignoring them you wouldn't even do this to begin with you don't get paid anything to do these uploads!
      you hear of people on TH-cam having millions of followers and views and barely making anything. and yes you make a few jobs here in there off of the content you post and I know you're grateful as I am for you but it's nowhere near the return needed for the time involved. Just the equipment and things you buy to make the uploads..... I seriously doubt you even broken even on those!
      Ok ok.....OKKKKKK!
      I'm not saying everyone is demanding and they are entitled to ask for certain things if they want to see it. but just don't get pissy if you ,the uploader, doesn't get back to them ASAP and go and film a completely new video showing you count the strands in your ofc 0 gauge.

      ealneas1 1. You’re not far at all! People come to me from Leeds, Manchester, Bristol distances, let alone the latest car that came from Denmark. They don’t care about the distance when they know what they get! 🤷🏻‍♂️
      2. Yes, you need separation between front & rear wave in IB, A7 is a no no without cutting the floor. You can have similar response from the right large drivers in big sealed boxes, but then you loose a fair amount of space from the trunk. People buy cars with a certain mindset if they want IB! 😃

      I have now a 15 inch drive in 35x17x16.5 inch ported box tuned to 35hz.
      I have replaced front speakers with Steg 3 way components and all running active. All processing done by helix pro mkii and feeding them from helix 6 channel amp. My audio source is from phone to dsp via usb.
      I struggle to get my staging right and the mid bass is lacking it.
      But it sounds still better then factory speakers 🙂
      Waiting now until you will do video about setting up and eq system. If that doesn't help me to setup where I am more then happy then I might will need to go for a trip to you. After this lockdown finishes.

I know you can go from factory to aftermarket using a most adaptor but wasnt aware that using factory amps was even possible because I thought they all used most input but I could be missing something for sure.

      First he had the HAT U2, now the HAT L2SE.
      In an active system mid-high speakers never get the same power as the midbass/bass drivers, but it has the same amp channel for 2” widebands as for midbass.

    Peter, I bet youve heard many of the newer OEM high end systems. Are there any that you would just keep cause they are so good, or do you find a lot of flaws even in the best OEM systems? Considering many of them have 10+ drivers, I would imagine that should be an impossible task for the manufacturer to create a great sound stage for the driver?

    • @pssound9749
      @pssound9749  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      bingoberra18 believe it or not I haven’t heard an OEM high level audio system for ages. Pretty much all of my clients know the difference (major), hence they bring their cars to me! 😃
      For the manufacturers it’s more important to keep speakers out of the way, leave more space for storage, etc, plus to fill the car up with speakers everywhere, so at least they can say what you pay big $$$ for!
