You don't need to adjust time alignments When you have on headphones because the 2 speakers are the same distance from your ears. In the car all of the speakera are a different distance from your ear. That's why you use time alignment.
Mix engineers in recording studios absolutely do have to deal with this. The way we address it is by positioning our monitors equidistant from our position, sound treating the room etc. In a car, the luxury of having every speaker equidistant from the listener is not possible. Your solution for gain staging each speaker works to move the soundstage based on the perceived loudness at your position. Time alignment takes this a step further and ensures the sound arrives at the precise time it should. I didn’t see your other videos, didn’t see the comment about polarity etc. but (assumption coming) connecting positive terminals to positives and negatives to negatives doesn’t alleviate the need to address potential phasing issues. You may actually need to switch the polarity of one or more channels in order to eliminate phasing, especially once time alignment is in play. This is because the wave is constantly moving in and out of phase as it emits. Once you change when the wave emits you now have phasing concerns. That said - if it sounds good to you then that’s all that matters.
I just installed a DSR in my Harley and had it tuned by a shop. If I make any changes in the perfect tune app, I have to create a new preset for those changes? How would I do that?
Very informative video brother…quick question after adjusting the DSP and radio settings How do you adjust the settings on the amps? HP,FULL OR LOW Also for Bass amp? Thanks 🙏🏽
i have also been into car audio for 30+ years time alignment is a thing and i like it. i would never set the head unit up like that when you have a 31 band eq? i run flat on the head unit boosting you treble like that just adds distortion/make it clip according to my oscilloscope. i would turn it down and give it more power. but if you like the sound that's really all that matters.
Just installed a DSR1 a few weeks ago. Been dping car audio for 30 years now. Having the issue of polarity reversing. Even if I leave it alone, the DSR1 seems to change it on it's own. Keep losing midbass. I make changes in the DSR1, it works basically until I turn it off again.
I had this same problem.. I think what I did was made my changes, saved the file, then uploaded it back too my device.. then I powered off and then back on the bike and the alignment was there. You probably already figured this out😂😂
I have a question! I installed my dsr1 on my 2020 roadglide I hooked the wires up exactly how it was instructed on the installation guide, everything works fine, so I sync my preset that I downloaded and I did it all through the app not through a computer. but my issue is that everytime I turn the bike off it goes back to the factory preset dsr1. why don't my selection stay in the dsr1? I have to wait till the Bluetooth connect and then reload my preset
Good morning I have a question the stereo shop said I need a j l audio fix or a fosgate drs1 for my 2018 Ford F-150 I have a arc audio eq being from old school I like to control the sounds He said it would sound way better if I get rid of eq What do you think?
How many presets do you have? Every time you make any kinda changes, whether any settings.. you have to save it to a new preset if I recall and than upload to the dsr1, that way it retains the changes you make or you can revert back to your previous saved setting.
Correct! Well I have 2 presets. I download the current settings from the DSR1 to my iPad first, then make changes. In case I don't like the sound in my new tuning, I can revert back to the old preset and upload it to the DSR1. I think I'm saying the same thing LoL
is time alignment set to msec? instead of inches even though it read inches on the input area? idk how it works but looks like its set to msec, idk if that'll make much of a dif either way
The object is to set the alignment to recreate a stage in front of you. I suspect you've never sat in a properly tuned SQ vehicle. You are reproducing a studio recorded track that was mastered in L,R stereo. Modern technology allows the listener in a vehicle via alignment to reproduce the presence of a sound stage before them.
I don’t think you understand what time alignment is, it’s bc not every vehicle is same, like a van will need a higher time alignment than a compact car. Yes RF is confusing, most radios let you pick a car, van, suv a coupe or a convertible. And cds , BT etc are recorded different by db overlap has nothing to do with time alignment

Wow! You have opened my eyes. This is the most intelligent response to audio ever! That what i'm talkin' bout!
I did the very same thing. After 1 hour of adjustments i am happy. Time alignment i only used for the subwoofer. Overall happy with the product. $289

I had the same problem with 360.3 dsp, no time aliment sounds great

What do you think?
The DSR1 will do everything, EQ and all. The JL Audio will only clean up whats coming out of the Stock Amp. The DSR1 is the Solution.

This is what I did with my dsr1
