Do I chose Network Mode or Standard Mode on my new radio

[@cheshirecynic4524]

Thank you very much for putting this in simple terms in a quick, easy-to-understand video! If only the manufacturers would put this info in the manuals!

[@dagorodriguez5265]

You guys are better than pioneer or alpine at explaining this I understood 100% of it.

[@BladeAddict8]

Ive been watching you for years and just realized you are 5 min drive from me. Im so coming to see you guys.

[@G00DZ1]

do it

[@HighVybeTribe]

Lucky duck !!

Ive watched this video a few times and just realized you have on an Atlanta Falcons shirt.... Rise Up

[@jesseg7757]

Network mode for my 2010 Mustang with the Shaker500 system.. Made a world of difference. :) Thanks for this...came up while trying to explain it to someone on FB when he was having trouble with his.

[@Fentertainment]

That Old School Font on the thumbnail reminds me of the radio shack I installed for way back!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Fentertainment haha vey cool

[@victorvaldes754]

From all the videos i have seen, yours are always the most informative and helpfull, thank you guys, keep it going

[@MotorDetroit]

Helpful video, but I didn't hear you guys explain WHY to do network mode. The reason WHY is to have FULL control over your crossovers and the ability to change cross points, slopes, and power levels to each driver actively and on the fly, WITHOUT having to tear open your door linings to replace a hardware (passive) crossovers which comparatively is simply impractical. This is a HUGE advantage for the serious car audiophile. Not to mention that the sound is incredibly transparent. I call it nude. Unfortunately Network Mode really isn't that popular, but for the not to faint of heart you should try it. :)

[@tonybrunet153]

Yes i have network mode 1 amp for the mid 1 4 channel amp for tweeters and sub and the configuration in network mode its amazing dont need a active crossover the radio have it and the sound its amazing

[@pilgrimj37]

Thanks. I had a quick and easy question and you answered it just about immediately.

[@maya_coqsalonga]

I wanted network mode as an easy/cheap way to add a 3" mid-range to my system. Using the passive that comes with the component set for the tweeter and mid-range while using the bandpass crossover in network mode for the midbass in the door. (3" mid to be mounted in the A-pillar. Using a 5 channel amplifier.

[@HighVybeTribe]

@@nickmontoya9661 huh 🤔 ?

[@HighVybeTribe]

Heck yeah James that's an awesome idea and it's also cool that this radio has the functionality to do that

[@MrMattFrantz]

Answered my question in less than 2 min! thanks

[@clvnblnkee]

Now I wonder, is network mode only available by using the pre out rcas? Or could it also work with the headunit's speaker outputs?

[@Pabula]

In Network mode, can you use the 4 channels amplification that the radio comes as Right High, Left High, Right Mid, Left Mid?

[@ricardokavanagh5170]

Thanks guys, I now know why my rear speakers were not working. Will need to run RCA connectors in standard mode to the rear speakers

[@shoveljunk-americanpatriot7603]

Thank you. So this is the beginning of upgrading ( starting over ) from a 2001 Infinity sound system to 2022? 😵‍💫

[@ashthesmart1]

I just installed an AVH 2300 NEX. I didn't install new speakers/sub/amps yet. So the speakers are all stock. Two door speakers, two rear deck speakers, no factory sub. Radio and Bluetooth audio works fine, but phonecall would not work. Neither the mic input, nor the other person speaking could be heard through the car speakers. I had to switch the network modentobget phonecalls to work. Any ideas as to why standard didn't work?

[@jmaslin]

Good info, appreciate it... However I was distracted by that Kicker Sub, I have one just like it and am about to build a box for my F250.... should I go sealed or ported?? it will have to go behind the rear seat due to it being a 4-door, thanks

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

jmaslin if you have room and just 1 go ported

[@HighVybeTribe]

Ported please 🙏

[@bustan3188]

i have pioneer avhx2850bt, with 3 ways passive in front, coaxial in rear, ampilfier 4 chnel zapco, 1 sub 12 with monoblock prokick, what the best i can choose network mode or standard mode

[@RobHTech]

So, can network mode (MVH-S622BS) be used to run a system active using HU internal DSP, EQ, crossovers, time alignment, etc., and can I use 4 tweeters, 4 mid ranges, and 1 or 2 subs? I've been out of car audio for a while. I got a Pioneer MVH-S622BS that has network/standard mode. The problem is that I would like an active system, but not sure if the HU can act as a full DSP or not. Previously, running actively meant all sorts of equipment upgrades, but these HUs today seem to have everything built in, e.g., high pre-amp outs, 31 band eq, crossovers, time alignment, etc. So to me it doesn't make sense to run active and buy an external crossover, etc. anymore.

[@HighVybeTribe]

Yeah, so many radios and amp's nowadays all come built in Xovers so the outboard crossover is almost extinct lol

[@bholtmeier]

Here's an easier way. If you don't know what network mode/running active is, then use standard mode. done

[@lavoring1987]

Pretty much 😂

[@frankmaggio4328]

I tried Network Mode after 1.5 yrs of owning my 2400NEX. All I can say it wow. Boston Acoustic Rally tweets, Diamond Audio S6.0m mids and 2 Fosgate RFR 2212. Sounds so much better. Only thing is I can get the image to go to the middle of the console like I could with my Alpine 7894. That radio you could literally follow the vocals to the middle of the dash as you clicked the time delay.

[@rulasmays8132]

You guys are the best thanks!!! For info!! 👍👍

[@ShakeelFaris]

@five star car stereo Hi there. I'm running components up front with crossovers in the door. 8" midbass woofers under the seats and a 12" in the trunk. Rears have been removed. Would I benefit from running in network mode? The components and midbass are on a 4 channel and the 12" is on a monoblock. Car is a 2011 E90 BMW. Thanks.

[@HighVybeTribe]

Yes 💪

[@akuma4u]

Had to restore my pioneer and by accident my friend chose network mode and i found that after some playing around i got it sounding the same as standard mode however the cool thing is this..on network mode thete are way more crossover slopes and finer tuning options than in standard mode. So even tho i should be running standard..i think i may leave it in network just to take advantage of the extra crossover features. I mean u can chose 25 40 50hz for lowpass and up to -36db slope in network mode

[@Patrick94GSR]

I just installed a new Pioneer deck in my Miata (front speakers in doors only) and accidentally had it in Network mode. Couldn't figure out why it sounded so horrible and tinny, compared to the Pioneer deck I previously had in there. Then I found out about the Network vs. Standard mode. Reset it the deck and chose Standard, and WOW sounds so much better now! Just sucks that you have to actually restore the unit to change it, and lose all your presets and other settings.

[@akuma4u]

@@Patrick94GSR there is a save settings option but i find it doesnt always work so well

[@NateM154]

Let's say I'm going to 9-wire my speakers to an amp, do I still need the crossover box that comes with the components?

[@906lane]

Hello, I changed the battery and my car. Then the bluetooth stopped working. I did the factory rest and they avic 8200 nex will not give me the network or standard mode options? I am so lost as to why I lost bluetooth talking after only changing out my car battery.

[@Cypriotkiller]

Thank God I watched this, I was about to factory reset my unit and set it to network mode

[@Neplushkomd]

Another option for network mode: use Y-splitters on high- and mid-channel outputs and drive rear doors as well. The thing is that you won’t be able to use fader then

[@vincentmagallon]

Rockvile Db55 5 channel going to my door 2-way 4"s and rear 3-way 6x9s, and two 10" subs in the trunk. Is that network or standard mode?

[@larryreynolds5136]

Does Pioneer have the VU meters display on the Deh-X8800bhs unit

[@nickstalhood5380]

Maybe you could answer this question. I have a pioneer nex2600. I hooked up my rear view camera to it an all was good, but one day it stopped working. I just have a black screen with a tiny little guide up in the left corner of the display. I've checked an rewired the connections from both the radio an the rear driver reverse light. I replaced the video cable. I even bought a new camera and it just gives the same black screen. I did a factory restore just in case i hit a video setting option. The only thing i haven't tried yet was unhooking the parking brake bypass since i didn't think it would have anything to do with the reverse feature. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

[@sant919]

ok im pretty sure my installer wired my pioneer nex 4500 to network mode, it sounds like crap in standard mode and rear speaker arre very low, when i switch to network mode all speakers are equal sound better but too crisp? how do i rewire to standard mode is it just a matter of swapping wires in back of unit?

[@blairanthony3801]

Thanks!¡!¡ exactly the information I needed.

[@murkinmurdock7985]

u dont have a vid on the pioneer deh-x9600bhs network mode

[@chiphammond1623]

This was a big help, guys, thanks

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Chip Hammond thank you

[@reid1boys]

IM going to use a separate DSP, and then go from the dsp for my three amps. Do I just run left and right channel pre outs to the dsp, or do I run all three, hi, mid and low output into the dsp?

[@andrewsimineri2243]

What if you have components in the front and the same set of components in the rear seat then a sub in the back?

[@wiltonmedina6209]

happens the same to me. i am planning to upgrade my pioneer to a newer model but my actual radio can set HPF to listen on front and rear speakers mid and highs and send low to the rear subwoofer RCA line out. I use the radio internal amplifier to drive my speakers on the front and rear doors and i use a 2500 watt amplifier for my 2 pioneer 10s subwoofers. So i can see that if i use standard or network anyway i will be having some issues. There should be a way to use the 4 channels with internal amp of radio as High Pass Frecuency crossover.

[@appstate1996]

I know nothing about car stereos. I have no clue about crossover, midrange etc. I need to update my firmware which will require the system to restart. How do I know which choice to make? Is there a way to check the current setting before the firmware update?

[@nikatasha1636]

Thanks guys. Very helpful.

I need help I have the pioneer 80prs i want to run 4 midrange and 4 6x9 and sub how can I install this. Thank you

[@whogotthehoochie]

I don't have a sub, at least anything I've purposely installed. 2010 Nissan Altima 2.5 S non Bose system. Am I just using Standard mode too?

[@Brandosway]

I have components up front. 2 6x9s the in rear. And a sub. 4 channel amp. Subwoofer amp. Pioneer Deh 80prs HU Questions: Can I run network? Or do I need another 4 channel amp

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Network mode gives a tweeter output, a midrange output, and a subwoofer output. If you can make the work with your system gives it a go.

[@Brandosway]

Five Star Car Stereo thanks

[@alexismk4]

So if we have tweeters and midrange in front doors and sunwoofers in the trunk which one to choose..

[@matissemorrisonsr.1932]

My Volvo VNL 780 Truck has 10 speakers and a sub which consist of4 in the dash, 1 "6 1/2" 3way in each door, 4 in the bunk area with a kicker 10" dvc sub in a ported box driven by a kicker 500.1 monoblock. in order to in the 6900 I would have to purchase more amps correct?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Matissr Morrison Sr. yes, you will need an amp

[@John-yj8zb]

What if i only want to use my front doors spekars (4 ohm) and my dash Twitters? I dont care for a subwoofer. I have tried doing just that but the device is geting overhested.

[@teyjingwoon]

I have tweeter , mid range and a subwoofer. and i also have a Audison Bit 1 sound processor. Currently im setting to standard and crossover at audio processor. What mode do you recommend?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Ah Jack if you have the bit1 stay in standard mode. The bit1 will do all the work.

[@teyjingwoon]

Five Star Car Stereo Thanks..

[@allrimmedout]

Should have explained that you can still use rear speakers, the hu just turns the rear speaker pre out into a tweeter range output.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Chris Rehbein no it turns the radio power into Network mode also. All the rears become Mid bass.

[@loloent]

Sounds a bit confusing, but wat if u have tat like me the bose system front 2 tweets four mids in doors & two more tweets in rear pillar, custom made by me a sub box?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

lolo ent right that sound like a bunch of speakers. If you have a tweeter amp, midrange amp and sub amp, do network other wise standard

[@user-xu9ot9zk9q]

What if I have one speaker in the dash and two in my door panels?? I own a f100 truck

[@uncomn]

Brilliant video cheers!

[@sengemengefrancis7515]

I don’t see the option to reset my pioneer car stereos ABJ-2500nex, how do I go about it?

[@HighVybeTribe]

Wow , I thought the only point of network mode was to either use the radios built 4ch amp - or switch to an active system by using amplifiers only 🤔 lol I watched a Pioneer video explaining network mode before , and he said nothing about it affecting the Bt calls

[@ceciljones1248]

Now my tweeters ar hooked up to my radio my midst are hooked up to my two amplifiers and my subwoofers is hooked up to my amplifier? Network because it brings the highs out in my tweeters?

[@RobertoRamirez-kd5ow]

like all yall video on tip and information about installing.but have a question install a pioneer stereo and now I have a popping noise loud coming out of the speaker when I turn the vol.down or when I switch radio station and modes .thinking it the radio it self what yall thing need help

I cant even find the option to select which one I want... Nvm... found it by unplugging... So I'm on standard and the only 2 out of 4 work and on aux only my tweeters work... my radio came with 3preouts so I would like to use those... I'm used to just splicing and going without a problem but this whole preout thing has me fked

[@jamesh0224]

Been putting it off for awhile now I decided to take the plunge and finally rewire my system. Omg, it sounds so much better in Network Mode I’m using in the front doors 4 Skar Audio 6.5’s 2 Skar Audio tweeters Powered by a JL Audio 500/5 along with a JL Audio 10W3v3.

[@ekah913]

i was jjust going to ask this question. thanks for the heads up. btw whats the advantage of either one?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

ekah913 no real advantage, it is just what works best for your need.

[@ekah913]

Five Star Car Stereo for some reason network mode makes my highs sound so much clear and crisp and the standard sounds a bit muddy is that normal or just me?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

ekah913 it might be the higher crossover point is blocking out some of the mid bass.

[@Jeffdachefz]

Network is far superior since you can time align the distance of each tweeter and mid which creates a much better stage. Music is recorded in 2.1 left, right and subwoofer. not left, right, rear left, rear right and sub... Thing with passive crossovers in standard, you cant really get a proper time align because the mid and tweets are different distances to your ear. Along with the passive crossover being at a set point which may or may not work well with your vehicle's acoustics. With network mode you can choose the crossover points that can work best with your vehicle's acoustics and get the absolutely best sound quality from it. Also without a passive crossover network distributing power, you wont have as much wasted energy through all the resistors so your drivers get more power when hooked directly to the amp.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Jeff DaChef all true, sadly people love those rear speakers. Hopefully one day we will have a radio with 8 channel output.

[@Stanleyssarg]

Hola, no se si alguien puede contestarme en español... si yo tengo todos mis altavoces con amplificadores conectados por rca y quiero agregar 2 tweeters de seda y conectarlos a las salidas de 22rms del estereo me sirve el modo network? o tambien afectara al resto de mis parlantes?

[@braxx8813]

What about stadium mode

[@travisevans7502]

does the avhx3500bhs have this feature, if so what would you recommend if I decide to put a y splitter on my front channels and run it to a 4 Channel amp running active, and rear coaxial speakers with mono block amp to subs.

[@travisevans7502]

there will be a rear 2 Channel amplifier 2 coaxial rear speakers

[@travisevans7502]

I ask because I'm running components right now my 4-channel amplifier does have the ability to run active and I have an extra two channel amp laying around right now I'm running the amp in 4 channel mode with passive crossovers on the front channels and the coaxial on the rear not sure if I want to do it or not, I plan on upgrading my deck to the NEX 4200.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Travis Evans if you amp is capable of doing it use the amp. The 4200 does not have this feature. Your radio does, you have to restore the radio to have access to it.

[@franksmith7271]

Either way, you should fix the spelling error in your thumbnail...

[@McRemmyBaby]

So I threw away my passive crossovers, standard won’t work now? Whatever I’m fucking done

[@ULSB1969]

You are wrong, if you have the same components in the rear that you have in the front you can still use network mode. You can use the same amp channels from the front tweeter for the rear tweeters and you can use the same amp channels from the front mids for the rear mid.

[@Brandosway]

[@DirtySouthFlorida3]

What if i y split rca for rear mids to match the front mids?

[@ULSB1969]

You don’t have too, all you need to do is parallel the rear mids to the same amp driving your front mids. If the rear mids handle different amounts of power then u can run rcas from the front mid amps output drive to your rear amp.
