Wow. You gotta wonder how that thing was even running!! That fuel filter had unholy things in it. Lol. I'm an audio head from way back as well. I'm 50 years old now and it's been a few years since I had a decent system. I bought a 2012 Nissan Rogue and got a decent head unit with Bluetooth and USB input, double din. I found some decent 6x9's for the front doors (ya that's what's in it) and 6.5" for the rear doors. I also installed some standalone tweeters that Walmart sells in the plastic part of the door where the rearview mirror is. I then found some Rockford Fosgate 12" subs In a Factory box and hooked them up to the biggest amp Pyramid makes. It says 5,000 watts but we know it's not half that. Probably not a quarter of that. But it does sound amazing. The bass hits so hard and the highs are crisp. I probably have 400 in the whole system but damn it sounds a lot more expensive. I'm sure I get some strange looks, a gray-haired 50 year old dude driving around bumping. It puts a smile on my face though!! Edit .. I had sound issues as well with Bluetooth and USB input at first. I put my phone on that Dolby Atmos setting and adjusted the level for music on the phone and it fixed it perfectly.

First off love all your material! When watching I feel like I’m hanging with a good buddy. So, I didn’t read all the comments and apologize if this was already mentioned. When using Bluetooth for music from an iPhone, ensure once you are paired and start the music, turn the volume on your phone up all the way first and then it should sound much better in the vehicles. Best of luck brother.

First thing you should check for Bluetooth audio is the volume on your phone. Some/most phones today have a seperate bluetooth volume from internal speaker volume. Turn up the bluetooth volume on your phone and it shouldn't distort the audio and your stereo audio can be turned down.

You always want the phone volume fully up. It's sending a digital signal so if your source file doesn't have clipping the Bluetooth is never going to clip. It's not like an analog audio chain where you could induce clipping at each stage. Control the volume with the knob on the head unit.

Tbf the amp he’s used is actually 390W & that’s quoted at 10% THD. Realistically, at an acceptable level of distortion, it’s probably a 200W amp - which ofc is still more than enough for the application. The 1500 in the name is just the name, it has nothing to do with the spec as far as I can tell.

Ran this sort of set up in my work car for years cause the gm radios are part of the chime system. As far as your sound. Turn off all your auto sound settings on your phone and make sure your using the highest bitrate possible on your streaming service. Higher bitrate = better sound. But no it will never sound as good as a CD because the data isn't normally there. Also make sure you keep that bus bar insulated. That's a good way to have a fire 🔥 truck.

You can run into issues with too many EQs when dealing with BT audio from your phone. Your device has an EQ, often the apps have another EQ, then you've got whatever your hardware has. So check your phone and try to turn all the EQs to flat or off. Also, sometimes you need to turn the audio to max on your phone with a car BT connection.

Wow that takes me back. My first vehicle was a 79 Plymouth arrow got it in 92. I pulled that black panel off and built a sealed wedge box with a 12" woofer no back and bottom. Sealed it with liquid nails. Actually sounded pretty good 😂.

This brings back memories of my high school and college (‘01-08) days of doing aftermarket stereos in my vehicles. I got into woodworking from building sub boxes for people 😂🤣😂. That’s wild how small that amp is. I remember running multiple amps. My accord (it was turbo’d too 😉) used an mtx amp for the components (infinity) and a Profile California amp (mainly because it was pretty lol) for the sub (Infinity Kappa 12”). I built custom spare tire well box And a false floor in the trunk where everything was recessed.

Hey Dave your content is amazing. With your Bluetooth issue, if you're using spotify or maybe even another app, you can adjust the audio quality in the settings menu, which could be affecting the sound quality you're getting. I know spotify for a fact will have low audio quality as base settings unless you change it.

Cool project! Take it from an audio pro, your phone volume should probably be up 3/4 of max for best gain structure down stream in your system.

Two things. One. Your phone volume affects your Bluetooth volume. Have your phones volume all the way up when BT-ing to your car stereo. Two. Wired car play(I’ve only used the Apple one)is miles better to me than any BT solution. Most aftermarket headphones unit have nowadays I believe.

Sounds like you didn't have the Bluretooth volume turned up on your phone. I had a cheap Boss head installed with new speakers, and as long as the audio was good from the source (Pandora, Spotify, Heart mostly) it sounded really good. Also works fine through my 2015 Ram stock system via Bluetooth.
