High-End Audio Install Gone Wrong! Redoing a Skoda Sound System | Cambridge Car Audio

[@reset1101]

Thanks a lot for such a detailed and in-depth video. Its very sad that some shops do the installs like this. Cause Im sure many people with badly installed and tuned systems wont go anywhere else to get it properly done. And those are people who wont come back to the aftermarket car audio world, which is a shame for me. Fantastic job from you people!

32:28 Work is good not bad, but you guys forget 1 thing which is the fans that you have added behind the amplifiers as you look properly on 1st amp where it is aligned with the subwoofer 1 blade of the fan is missing which cause the vibration & vibration sound when fan is turn on. I think replacement with new fan is good option to avoid the vibration + vibration sound! Please take a look.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

[@motographics]

Also to add on this …the two rear fans are pulling away from the amps with 50% of the air being blocked by the pillar, highly doubt they will be doing much air movement.

[@cambridgeautosound]

Your fabrication is always on point. But got to disagree about the weight of the pillars being a massive issue, especially when running a mid in the pillars. If it was just a tweeter, sure a light weight finish is fine. But I'd always want a decent mass around a midrange.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

@@cambridgeautosound Thank you, it is not life or death but on that apillar where they are only secured very poorly it is, hence why they fall off over time and stretch the a pillar

[@tomoxfford]

That was impressive but a like for like before & after audio test (same music excerpts & exact same everything else) should be an absolute must for a video as detailed as this, especially if your objective is to show what improvements are available just by mostly refitting existing equipment. I realise my equipment is a factor when listening right now but at least it’d be the same for both before & after. ✌️

More of bashing the previous installer, only issues of the previous install were the leaking sub woofer and heavy a pillar trims, yes the wiring wasn't aesthetically pleasing but given how much flac you gave the previous installer yours isn't much better, expected more. Also the fast rings you used on speaker are open cell foam, and seriously don't do much, as a high end installer you ought to know this stuff. The guy doing all the work (curly hair white guy) seems to be giving neutral remarks about the previous installation, however the brown guy seems like he's on bashing mode 24*7, you can certainly do better guys.

[@Senorbarnez]

Regarding the sub box, is fibre glass actually better than MDF? Would think that MDF is more innert to vibration and more suitable for a bass enclosure unless you make the fibre glass seriously thick. The original box looked pretty good other than the leaks that could have easily been filled. Seemed like a lot of work for minimal gain, and new enclosure certainly didn't look like it was nearly double the claimed 18litres of the original. Good effort that lad put in nonetheless.

@@pcguru.1 there are 4 fans, 2 moving air forward and 2 backwards and down 👌

[@bbfoto7248]

@@CambridgeCarAudio The fan with one of the blades broken off will be out of balance which will shorten its lifespan as well as potentially creating unwanted extraneous noise. Just to be clear so we aren't misunderstanding, the fans should be configured so that one pair draws cool air INTO the amp rack as an "intake", and the 2nd pair of fans Exhaust the warm air OUT of the amp rack in a continuous flow. If both pairs of fans are configured so that they all push air into the amp rack, it will create positive pressure environment with very little air movement and will not remove and exhaust the heat from the amp rack efficiently.

[@808lublabs4]

Pouring water into an MDF enclosure was just for dramatic effect because MDF itself is not waterproof so you pour enough water into it even if it was airtight at one point the water just destroyed the MDF to the point that it would absorb into the MDF and leak right through. There are other ways of measuring volume without using water. Dry materials like sand or silicate would have served the same purpose without destroying the MDF. One thing that wasn’t mentioned that looks like might have been a consideration in the original design was not to make permanent modifications to the car like drilling holes into metal panels and making it easily removable. That may have been why the sun enclosure and amp rack was done that way. It still wasn’t done well but it could explain the lack of bolted down items.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Yes, but still shows the amount of gaps, we seal the inside of an MDF box which would have held the water. The original request was to have a good safe sound. The box was flopping around, and things we not secured.

Looks super good. Love to see this type of quality and expertise. But where those fans really needed? those look very out of place. Also the left fan has a broken blade and fans are mounted with exhaust side to the backseat, those wont be doing much efficient work. Maybe for the next time you could try some microfans of 40-60mm (noctua has those). These could be imbedded nicely into the side of the amplifier frame, to move air around. Again i love to see these type of high quality videos, there is always room for improvement :)

Hello ! After watching your video I have some things to say. First I wanted to say that I like how JP does his job, he is pretty good and passionate ! Congrats to him ! Also for his marriage ! But now the bad things : you have serious issues with the sound deadening(more like lack of deadening) : 1. no 2 nd layer in the outer door pannel, not even after the midbase ! , 2. you did't put any deadening on the middle door ! You didn't even sealed the holes fron the doors with sound deadening ! Wtf, you will loose a lot of midbase ! 3. the floor needs a 2nd and 3rd layer or at least a sandwitch type material over the vibro 1st layer that you put. I'm sure that you charged the client a lot and you made a lot of econommy sound deadening the car. I made my car myself and with the ammount of materials I put in it I bet you would have made 3 cars lol ! :))

Thank you and hope you have a nice day :)

As a profesional audio shop you should know than instaling midbass speakers into flimsy door doesnt imrpove the midbass.Worse location for midbass!You can use as many soundeadening material you like to make the door rigid but the sound never will be good!Im surprise you dont know that!!!You are far behind PS SOUND!!!far far.

We are not in the same market, what we specialise in is something very different to Peter (not knocking what he does). We are not building this car for competition level, we are building it for the our client and how they want it. Business is not a race and winners and losers. We do what we want and others can do what they want. Chill and enjoy life a little :)

@@CambridgeCarAudio no problem bud 👍🏻 longer and more in depth videos would also be appreciated 🙈 I would watch hour long videos, I love car audio, I used to have an Audi a3 with alpine dvd/tv player, ps3, infinity components in the doors and 2 x 12” alpine type R subs and alpine mono block amp, ok I did it all myself and probably didn’t sound the way it could have 🙈 but I loved doing sound systems 👍🏻

[@christophergettings9159]

You still used mdf for the face of the sub box so water tight my arse and your wiring to the amps and the DSP is shocking Tessa tape isn't the answer if you can't get your wiring correctly hidden. And fitting a mobridge would have fixed you problems you say you had. It also looks like the customer had the first company put it in on a budget I noticed nothing was said why you say about the sound quality. I bet you didn't Evan check if the speakers where in phase and the DSP set correctly at the start

[@Niclas0299]

Same thought here. For me it looks like it was a tuning issue. The pillars are completely fine I don’t see the value for completely redoing them. The sub box could have been sealed easily. Put in dampening material to simulate a larger box. Ok the deadening was poor and the overall install isn’t great but it is still better than everything I have got here in Munich Germany. As soon as you start to do it by yourself you start to think about it differently e.g that there are cheaper more efficient options. This is a great install dont unterstand me wrong but it is way to expensive 😂 and the problems could have been solved so much easier.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

Yes that all got checked 😂

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

That’s not true, padding inside a box only helps so much, you can’t get away from the box was so small for what it required it to be and also the apillars weren’t fine as they were hanging off, the speakers weren’t secure and they weighed too much for the small clips holding it on

@@christophergettings9159 they don't know what they are doing and I've seen them graduating from the university of KZbin. Tessa tape is for protecting the wire not making it look good. Who wants to look at a taped wire and say ' yes that looks awesome'. The factory users Tessa tape to protect their wiring through the vehicle in the places you CAN NOT SEE.

😂😂 Mr keyboard warrior, please take your negativity elsewhere, nobody likes you here or is impressed by your lack of intellect and childish behaviour. Byeeee

So hang on just to understand sorry for the ignorance this is has come out of the factory like this?

@@xpressdoorway hi, no, another company has fitted all the gear and we fixed the install

[@powerplay8355]

@CambridgeCarAudio what's the point in explaining, especially when you fail to understand why drivers facing your ankles are useless. You people have no idea about audio.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

@ we would love to see your supercar with a custom sound system in when you are next passing past 👌 don’t hate on others mate, just try to smile and enjoy life

[@powerplay8355]

@CambridgeCarAudio yeah I hate skodas mate. But at least I know the basics of acoustics and physics. And that's my point. You asked and I answered, learn to enjoy life and ignore those with a differing opinion. One day I may just do a video on my car.

[@CambridgeCarAudio]

@powerplay8355 you wouldn’t see us hating on it if you did. It’s sad that a Skoda can upset you so much. Feel for you 🙏
