    Installing aftermarket stereo question

    It is metal. I used my Fein and it cut through it like it was butter.

    I use the UMM6 mic, and I do have their calibration file loaded. I'm going to play around with it some more this weekend hopefully.

    Installing aftermarket stereo question

    I recently replaced mine with a Pioneer AVH-4000NEX. I had the base 5.0 stereo, no nav no alpine. I used the Metra Harness XSVI-6523-NAV, Metra steering wheel control interface ASWC-1, Metra Dash Kit 95-6518B, Anterna Adapter 12040EU55. Everything installed really easy. I just made sure...

    I think I'm getting a handle on the Auto-EQ. There's just a couple things I can't figure out. 1. How do I load a custom curve? All I can tell is that you select a point and a slope on the high and low. Maybe that's all there is, but I thought you guys were matching to custom slopes of...

    DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

    What about one of those thick rubber bands? Wind it around a few times on the inside up against the sail panel. Then you wouldn't have to put glue all over your gear.

    Yes, I'm using REW. I don't know about the Auto-EQ, haven't had time to look yet either. Spent some time figuring out what I was doing wrong with the screen captures, I think I have it figured out. In the process I noticed that I had the head unit EQ on when I thought it was off. So I re-did...

    DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

    I did not have the Alpine system, just the base 5.0 RA2 radio. I recently replaced it with a Pioneer AVH-4000NEX, and I'd have to say I probably noticed a bigger difference from this change than the difference when I added amps, and then added a DSP. The sound coming through is so much more...

    RTA Assistance

    I figured since there was a new thread talking about RTA and some people seem to be in need of an education (like myself), maybe a thread doing some active analysis may help. I primarily listen to rock/alternative and most derivations. My system: Pioneer AVH-4000NEX PPI DSP-88R 2 x JBL...

    What to expect with an Aftermarket HU

    I have a 2013 with the stock RA2 head unit. I have been kind of pushed into an aftermarket head unit. I've owned them in the past, but not in a while, and in less sophisticated cars. Since there is so much that I control through the head unit now that has nothing to do with music, what should...

    Operation: Big speakers little holes

    If you're keeping mental track of who would buy the things you fabricate, add me tot he list. I would totally buy some sail panels.

    Audio Tuning for Dummies - Post your knowledge here, please!

    David - You could get this mic and an extension cable and have the phone under the dash with you. This may make it a bit easier and the mic may be able to take more accurate measurements as well...

    Q&A Car Audio Thread

    Yeah, I'm currently dead in the water. Was thinking of breaking off the tweeters from a couple coax's and wiring them in before the DSP. I would seal them in a very small box made of MDF so they couldn't be heard and just toss the box under the driver seat. It just seems so ghetto and that...

    Need help with audio system installation

    I'm interested in how to wire resistors inline as well. Just recently I upgraded the software of my stock RA2 head unit and now I get no sound. I'm running a DSP and then a couple amps after that. After reading this thread I took an old 3.5" speaker and tapped the speaker wire before it...

    NEW uConnect Update Available! (v13.48.3)

    Finally got it downloaded. I needed to make a few changes to security on my laptop and network and then it worked fine. However, I applied it last night and now I have no audio. Radio seems to function fine otherwise, changing stations, has my XM subscription, controls my phone... And the...

    NEW uConnect Update Available! (v13.48.3)

    I can't seem to get this download going. The netsession install finishes, I click close, but then the download never starts. I'm in compatibility mode with pop-ups off using IE11. Same deal with firefox. Whats the trick?

    Any issues with LG G3 Phone and uConnect?

    Is there a particular setting on the G3 for the texts to come through? I just picked one up over the weekend (bored with my iPhone 5), and text messages aren't showing up. Also, and maybe related, the music apps like Pandora and Amazon Music aren't displaying the detailed song data, it's...

    Q&A Car Audio Thread

    What does the Fs mean if you put the sub in a sealed box? Because when you speak of "tuned" enclosures, you're talking about ported correct?

    When talking about all the tuning operations (level, TA, EQ, etc) what's the order of operation?

    Q&A Car Audio Thread

    I, for one, welcome forums that cater to those who want to learn something that is out of their area of expertise, and don't just exist as a medium for people to boost their own egos by making people feel small. I would like to get some clarity on "level match". I had thought it only...

    Big Boi's Audio Build

    Am I missing something on some of the posts. The couple where Big Boi just says "Update" are there pictures I'm missing? Because all I see is the word update.

    Big Boi's Audio Build

    I find that car audio is like a drug...once you get a little taste you just want more. It's happening to me. I just wanted a little boost to my aftermarket coax's a little over a month ago. Now I'm all the way to the point where I'm probably going to get a DSP.... I'm really diving into...

    Opinions on 3-way Setup PPI

    Thanks! I got the set off Amazon for $230 shipped. At that price the risk was not too bad that the current reviews were untrue. Turns out the reviews were pretty spot on. Now, I'm no seasoned car audio vet like some of you guys. I'm sure those MW182's you mentioned are freakin' awesome and...

    Opinions on 3-way Setup PPI

    Yeah, the woofer seems to get pretty low. Here is my totally non-scientific measurement. These were done using the AudioTools RTA app on my iPhone 5 using the built in phone mic. The phone was resting landscape mode in the center dash RAM tray. The graphs for the songs were done with the car...
