How to connect Radio box with EQ's to medusa and crossovers (chuchero)

[@frankmusicworld]

This is really helpful for those who are starting or learning about the car audio (Chipeo) culture. You should do them more often.

[@408SPLKINGS]

Wow so peeps have so many questions Pay attention peeps or watch, listen, again & again Man uses multiple EQs so he can FINE TUNE, MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO EACH INDIVIDUAL SIGNAL, SOUND WAVE, without a DSP without a computer & run higher input voltage therefore getting a stronger, cleaner signal to amps therefore getting the best quality sound / music possible 🚙🔊🔊🔊🔊💨💨💨💨💨🎼🎵🎶💯%💪💪

[@carlosacosta2977]

Finally someone who explained it💯

[@carlosquijano9839]

ofc man that's why I made the vid glad it helped out

[@soldier001us]

I know right gracias brother

[@lightningwaves5436]

But if you have five equalizers, why run it to a crossover and how MANY electronic crossovers?

[@hsb_kevin_]

The best video I found hands down thank you bro!!!

[@TheSFFV]

This could all be achieved with a 6 or 8 channel dsp. It will have 31 bands per channel of eq and crossovers for each channel. Also the use of all those eq's is redundant. Since the crossover is a 4 way crossover all you need is two channels in from EQ. The cutting on the EQ's is not needed as the crossover cuts all frequecies above or below the crossover points. Bass cuts at 80 hz, midbass is pass band 80hz-500hz, midrange is 500hz-3khz and tweets are 3000khz-16khz. You can still use a single eq into dsp if you like that.

[@carlosquijano9839]

Well we still use dsp processors plus eqs

[@TheSFFV]

@@carlosquijano9839 Ok but why so many EQ's and a external crossover? I have been in car audio/home audio/PA for over 20 yrs. Both as a hobbiest and a professional. This makes no sense to me. trying to understand your logic behind it.

[@spyko7z]

@@TheSFFV i use dsp too 8ch separate crossover and eq for every single channel lol, much easyer

[@eduardchavez]

Well, my crossover is 10 channels, any input channel required specific frequency’s no matter that would but set at the output. Why??? Better output frequency quality.

[@Yagga97]

At most maybe just one preamp eq. If u have a dsp that should be doing most of the heavy tuning. A good sounding system with a dsp + preamp eq should sound clean and crisp with all eq setting on the preamp eq flat. Of course given if the music is of good quality, but that’s where the preamp eq comes into play to correct that if it’s questionable but that’s just me personally.

[@622blaze]

This was great bro! more chuchero vids please!

[@shivnarinedayal5363]

Best explanation out there

[@carlosquijano9839]

thanks man appreciate it

[@mikeboogie8384]

Damn, this is more complex than I thought. I just recently bought a Medusa, I mean I’m only using a eq for bass and one for my chuchero, a clarion and a autotek, it would be great if I can set that up before going to my installer so I can save some money. I know a little bit but not that much.

[@DGinNC]

Why do these setups use these old style EQs rather than using a full function DSP that could take care of equalization & crossover, and even give you the added benefit of phase and time alignment functions? I think those functions would be rather useful for these set ups and if done properly could eliminate the need for a wired external setup.

[@joel-wd6dz]

Do u set volume knob on max on all of them and just use the radio for the main music volume?

[@britneymamea4529]

thank you very much bro💯

[@MohamedAli-vj4ln]

Hey where did you get that rca splitters from

[@luisvillalobos4976]

This is what they call LA , it’s A 6.5 inch mid bass/range speaker with wave guide . Drivers usually have this horn connected to it.

[@josecunsako31]

What if my cd player just have front out and rear/sub out pretty much 2 channel ! Should I get a different CD player or can I do the same with the splitter you did here in this video cuz I’m trying to connect 3 amps i already have 2 connect with ds18 7 band equalizer but I need another out put..

[@hey-mk8td]

Can u use 1 amp (1channel) and still be able to control separate speakers with your equalizers

[@estudiante4wisdom149]

Hey bro, thanks for the vid, can you make a video of how you hold them down into the Radio Box?

[@Kid617]

big help looks like alot but good video do u have any on wiring up chuchero looking to build my own

[@BASSWITHKEV]

Where did you get the cables that run from the head unit to the eq the 2 to 4 rca cables

[@franklynfrancis5516]

Perfect explanation, I’m new to the car audio and I’m using a dsp for my set up but what o want to know is where exactly do we put the fuse blocks for the amps.

[@franklynfrancis5516]

I have 3 amps 1 for bass, 1 4channel for mids and 1 4channel for tweeters n drivers.

[@DayV914]

@@franklynfrancis5516 honestly if this if your first build I would suggest you to either go to an experienced installer or look at plenty of videos on KZbin first before going into it. You need a fuse right next to your battery up front.

[@DGinNC]

You should have two fuse locations a primary main fuse next to the battery(s) (positive leads only), and a distribution fuse point back by the amps (positive leads only). The one at the battery protects the wire from catching fire, The one back by the amps protects the distribution wires and amps.

[@Jonathan05239]

One question friend, where did you buy that RCA 2×4 they look good

[@angelorodriguez350]

Im also waiting on the answer 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣😍😍

[@IAM_HC]

So on each EQ you are only using a few knobs for a given frequency range on those drivers right? Like for the tweeters let’s say the last 3 knobs to the right for 3.5k and up the next Eq you use the middle 4 knobs etc, In addition you get a main volume control for those channels? Ive been racking my brain in this for years and finally started to understand the last couple years and even more just last week or so on how to determine when one needs multiple vs one. I’m running a DSP with 31 bands but I like the idea of having an like a 7 band EQ on the dash for on the fly changes when switching music genres. I wish the audio control wasn’t only a 3 band so I could run what matches an epicenter in dash.

[@carlosquijano9839]

you are correct that's what I do cut frequencys for each driver with my eqs for optimum quality

[@briteshotz2559]

Im getting a medusa cable for my chucheros can i connect the power to my amp and would my radio turn on still or do i have to get a second battery to power it beacuse ive been asking where do i connect it and people say the back battery

[@brandondipchand71]

what's the easiest way to give power to one of these? could you walk through of how to power the HU?

[@Impossibletrivia]

I dont understand why you wouldnt just control the chuchero in 1 equalizer do you really care about specifically adjusting each one

[@user-hm2vi2ig9u]

Hermano donde compraste ese cables rca ??

[@teamlagerencia1667]

Where do you buy those RCA from 2 to 4 ???

[@andresandres898]

Hi can u send me the link to buy the rca cable that u used from the eq to the radio

[@josecunsako31]

I think I have to do samething like this aswell cuz I’m trying to connect a 3rd amp but I’m limited on my out puts on my ds18 7 band equalizer.. I need an out put for my 3rd amp which is a four channel for my tweeters

[@javierortiz2058]

What pioneer radio you recommend bro. So many don't know which ones to get

[@carlosquijano9839]

I recommend the pioneer DEH-80 PRS but if you cant find that one the Pioneer DEH-x7800BHS is really good also

[@skyzrise5160]

is their a way to add a second radio to car i wanna keep my stock radio because of my back up camera and I bought a 2nd radio for my chuchero but I dont know how to set it up

[@carlosquijano9839]

yea man you can install it anywhere you want all you need is a power a ground and a remote for another radio

[@WyattChildrey-mf7jp]

Where do I hook up they yellow wire from radio. So it saves all my radio settings.

[@soldier001us]

Bro do I have to use a crossover even with small system I have 2 amps, bass 1200 mids 14000 My radio has a digital crossover Thanks 🙏 bless I

[@carlosquijano9839]

no you don't it will sound just fine tuned with a digital radio crossover but for unmatched sound quality using a crossover is best but nah man you good

Great job

[@icantnutbro8995]

How do you get power to your radio if you have it in a radio box/out the car ??

[@edgarkilo4911]

Shoutout to you bro 💯 but i had an issue where I ran all my RCAs to my crossovers and I couldn’t get no music to one of my chucheros , do i have to run a processor ?

[@carlosquijano9839]

that might be a speaker wire or speakon connection issue it shouldn't be a problem with the cross over

[@onassisfortezamiolan7146]

My friend thank you very much for this vidio, I was wondering if you can do a video explaining L-A speaker 🔈 box may be with a sample box and what is actually do for the system. Thank you

[@carlosquijano9839]

LA really a complement to the voices"mids" it helps by playing notes that mid bass won't play like hard clicks from drum rims and the sound of drums mostly

[@trulytrill3511]

Good explanation

Do tutorial on using a dsp instead of all those EQ's just straight from headunit to dsp I'm having issues with my system

[@carlosquijano9839]

I don't run dsps they are good if you know how to work them and keep them updated by plugging them into the computer so what works best for me is using clarion or any type of active crossover with eqs and it will be the best sound quality

[@TruGong]

Thanks for your reply, I like the simplicity of just having on thing do all the work I don't like to see too much wiring so I chose a dsp instead but for some reason I cannot bring out the best of it, running 4 18 sound 10's 2 JBL st400's 2 ds18 2" horns and 2 prv 1" horns I cannot get it loud 🔊📢

depends on your preference dsps are sometimes unreliable and the more rca signal/voltage is amplified and filtered it will give you optimal quality
