A GMC Sierra in for some JL Audio and Rockford feel good sound Installer Diaries 115

[@deadatmind]

I've gotta say, I found your videos a couple days ago, and I've been watching years worth of car audio videos and been doing my own installs for many more years. I haven't watched a channel that has given me this level of inspiration and direction like I have in these videos you guys make. Thank you, I will continue to watch and enjoy and learn. Keep doing what you do. You guys meet my expectation and direction in car audio like I've never seen.

Would I drive 1160 miles one way to have these gentlemen work on my car? Humm???......Hell Yeah I would!!!

Wow! I have a new found respect for Car Audio Technicians. I can not believe how much you need to know to make an audio system. You guys are amazing.

None are this good/detailed

[@axxxxman]

Nice video, I like JL, I have a 5 channel JL and now I have to rewire everything thanks to this video.

[@flipnlu]

axxxxman yeah watching them will definitely do that. I’m constantly installing ,tweaking or refinishing.

[@dioniciorosado7763]

5 star audio install is another level i cant stop watching .so cool and

[@jamievandalen]

I really liked this "format" guys. All the info without the tedious stuff. Gotta show the details sometimes, but as a regular video, this is perfect.

[@LuxorVan]

I have a pair of 17 year old JL Audio W015's that I had to refoam, but they still sound just as good as the day they were bought! I won't replace them either, used to run them with a pair of matching 12's in a ford Aerostar on a $400 watt 4 channel Clarion and people could not believe it, I turned an Orion dealer into a JL Audio dealer when I showed him my setup! He was amazed and had soon began selling JL, that was the same system I woke up a fire department with, all of them were in lawn chairs at the station on the strip wearing long johns pointing out my van to the police! How many people have ever requested two different sizes of subs in an install? Back in the day, with JL it was a secret I learned from another friend! He couldn't fit four 15's in his grand am, but could just barely fit two 12's and two 15's and he would rattle my house over a mile down the road!

[@frankmaggio4328]

I always wondered why back in the day people did the different size subs. 2 15's and 2 12's. I remember when I was 15 I wanted a Toyota Celica hatchback just for the purpose of putting in "2 15's and 12's". lol.

if you actually get to read this message from one installer to another i really do appreciate what you both do it's hard to find legit car audio installers these day and you guy do amazing work im a big fan when im not at work doing installs myself im at home watching your videos when i do installs on a costumers car i do it as if it where my car with the best intention in mind thank you for sharing i am a big JL Audio along With phoenix Gold

[@chriswhite4596]

Badass job on this Video ... love the Amp rack and X-over rack , very well thought out process & placement

[@1DigitalFlow]

Great channel, always awesome to see someone take great pride in their work. I can really tell you guys do.

[@keydaniels]

I love your videos. I obsess over my car audio, but am married with 3 kids(broke). Your vids are great because you do the best with what the owner has and wants to achieve. You don't product push and that is appreciated as well.

[@randyanderson4360]

Dean and Fernando batman and robin got nunthin on you. Love you guys work

[@carsondoran6994]

One of your best videos to date

[@jmaslin]

HAHA, Minute 8:18.... Fernando comes flying in from the right..... LOL, another great one guys!!

[@JohnnyBouldin]

I’ve worked on a lot of those trucks. To get the center console out without taking the seats out all you have to do is take the 4 Phillips head screws out from the left and right of the center console. The 4 in the bottom of the console pocket. Then take apart the rear seat entertainment. Sounds like more work when written down but no heavy lifting and it leaves the amp in the truck instead of the console.

[@TrillasAdventures]

ive done it this way also

[@kennykimbler5641]

Love your vedio's brother. Keep thm vedio's cominh. I also think Fernando is a cool guy. His like ur side kick. Your vedio's have helped me because I'm old school and i got out of sound systems years ago. I'm learning about the new sound systems and and the adapter's you got use with factory radio's. It's been a little over 20 years since my last system. So please keep thm vedio's coming. Keep

[@zacktm1976]

I like the change on this one, to the point, very nice work u two, always entertaining and i learn something new every episode..

[@blkngwinn]

Cool video and changing up the format every now and then is a good thing.

[@Jsr408]

I’m in Cali and you guys so awesome I stay up to watch 👍🏽

[@gitlittoo2161]

Always subs first.. Lol. 1984 was the first time i heard 6 -12"s @ 2ohms i was 15. I got a 1970 Toyota Crown Station wagon. 4- 12"s @ 2ohms.

[@jpmavichana]

Great install. JL and RF are both awesome at making amps and subs. Matter in fact, I have a JL Audio XD 800/8v2 and RF T1500bdcp

[@i39440]

I love how the Pioneer NEX models have the Rear Speaker off option that can be added to the favorites tab. In my Silverado, I just turn my rears off unless I have rear passengers.

[@davidschwartz3427]

Rear speakers can play an interesting role in smoothing out crossover points if you have larger rears like 6x9 with 6.5 component in the front. But I guess that would fall into the preference category.

[@mikezupancic2182]

Love the way you shot the video. No need to see the same wiring harness over and over so this was a welcome change.

[@phantomseas2715]

Absolutely amazing work guys! Keep em coming! Waiting to see a Landcruiser!

[@01sinaloa22]

Nice video loved it.. I was waiting for something like this so I can do my truck. You guys really covered everything i wanted to know thanks!!!! Big fan!!!

[@JustEnufCustoms]

Great video guys I love watching these joints and you are so good at explaining the facts of audio. Always impressive and fun to watch. Have a great weekend and see you next time. 👍😜✌

[@Chevyguy-04lm7]

L9ve your videos keep up the good work. By the way the bass knob in the console really annoyed me my local shop did that to my yukon pissed me off, water coffee got through the hole mest up my electrical. Best place to put it is between seat and console 👌 keep hidden 😉 6" by buckle release.

[@thomasrauch6477]

Rear speakers help to make a more full sound. Very important coming from a home audio backing haha.

[@mobeycat30]

I really have to make an appointment to get in and have you guys equalize my system soon as i get my 4 channel issue taken care of!

[@Chunkhead]

FAR superior format for your vids. Thanks!

[@JrGarcia-dn6mp]

Yup me to love my HD amp and 13w7ae..😁😁😁 cant wait to put the second 13w in..

[@eduardocortez9838]

It is true that there are disturbing noises if the rca are combined with the ground and current cables

[@MrMan-ol4ic]

Yes,it creates a whining noise. The faster you drive the louder the whine will get cause the alternator is picking up the current threw the RCA and battery wire. Run your RCA wires down one side and your battery down the opposite side of the car

[@Clint_L]

Another killer video my friends. Love it!!

[@salr9851]

Nice dancing Dean! I liked the video. Keep up the great work!

[@audiogod2929]

You said a mouth full. I was the same way started right out of high school . Had a truck with 8 12' and a pair of components . lol

[@aps5150]

No complaints about this video style! Great spots to hide all the components too.

[@Gazooo29]

Please breakdown the cost of some of your installs

[@christopheramerally3194]

I am getting hissing and little crackling noise from the right side front and rear speakers with the engine on or off, with the gain on the amp set to where it needs to be, in order to quiet the hissing I have to turn the gain all the way down, now I have to max out the radio volume. The install is a oem head unit to high level, speed wire to RCA cables to JL Audio amp that accepts high level inputs. The ground is solid, all RCA are good quality, power and signal wires ran on opposite sides. What am I missing I want to get rid of the hissing and get some gain. Will a Pac SN-1 solve my issue.

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

great work guys love the new way you made this video...

[@moe2398]

Great work guys and very educational...

[@williamprice4269]

I like the way this video was done.

[@anthonyb8405]

i actually didn't mind this style video.... however i still prefer your older format using go-pros and multiple angles. Great job on that install!! I REALLY hope one day you guys get to do a full system overhaul in a newer model Grand Cherokee (2014+ with alpine or HK factory systems).

I can't believe you had to practically take the whole dash apart on the Honda and said how great it was but that one small center section of about 6 clips is a "pain in the butt".

Awesome video I have a similar truck but is a avalanche and been wanna to put subs under rear seat , and trying to figure out I'd down fire or up fire would be best. thanks again for this video ,

I have a system with new tweets and 4 doors and 2 subs under seat all Rockford and seem like my set up not good like yours ..if I had some one like you to look at it be a good helpful .. to see why my sounds not good and i feel like paid to much. ($3,500+) paid for all eight speakers and two amps and door protects and new stereo 🤔

[@Jay-ot2tk]

Great vid guys! High school for me was always subs first... lol, love my jls too when I got them in mid 90s was a Rockford guy until I got my jl subs, subs have always exceeded my expectations, still like the punch amps though,.......would love to have you guys here my system I have put in and play guess what I have done, hahaha

[@shawnkarvonen]

Really liked it especially the lip sinc

[@jkreviea]

Great information. I'm wondering where the bifurcation happens for the Bose system in the front speakers. I have an 09. There were only two wires for each channel at the harness in the console. So does the signal split and there are crossovers built into the speakers themselves?

[@Croak1]

Shoutout to the little blue Chinese screwdriver. Vapers know.

[@duo315]

See that stinger started selling wire ferrules with heat shrink (and not in 100 packs)?

[@robertb5437]

i down on jl for a long time until i was working for a shop that sold jl audio,the only way they would help with the cost of the equipment was for me to run jl subs. i wasn't happy but i tried them out JL audio 10 w3 four of them in one of my custom box. i figured that if i blew them at comp i just get something else. after break in and tune i was beating hard. my amp was getting very toasty running at 1 ohm ( us 200-hc ) at comp i won at 159.3 db . never blew them, i was a fan then and now. i sure miss the good old days of clean high current amps.

[@justinfoster6719]

These guys are the best,

[@mikeallred4390]

You guys do great work !

[@DVJiMATT]

You know the reason why you series dual voice coil subs is to lower the impedance to match the amp. If you have a 1000w amp stable at 1 ohm or 500w at 2 ohm and you wire the 2 ohm dual voice coils the way you wired them you would only push 500w to the subs. But if you wire them the way you don't prefer then they would be wired in series and you would get the full power (1000w) to the subs. More bang for your buck. Otherwise to get the same performance you would have to have double the output amp. Which would cost you roughly twice as much.

[@brianq50s75]

Please explain the speaker polarity test at 18:10. All the speakers are moving inward. (Negative polarity.) Was it just the test tone you were using? In other videos you use a test tone with 3 positive pops and 1 negative pop.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We were using a phone for the test, it pops backwards and does not do the switch.

[@hanskinslo326]

Awesome install stuff!

[@kodybryantmusic7357]
