How to Tune your Alpine Digital Sound Processor (DSP)

[@markelliott7917]

Awesome. I don't watch too many 37 minute videos end to end. I watched every second.

[@lawrencev.athill7502]

That was the first tuning session that was visually educational. The software was made easy to assimilate (to my way of thinking). Thank you for the lesson.

[@juliosrna5307]

Great that you say it is your opinion or thinking but you have to remember all the time that not everyone it is same for those learning from scratch it is really hard to grasp everything at once anyway great alpine session.

[@hansheiser3868]

Wow. I had no idea tuning a DSP could be as painstaking a process as shown in this video. If there had been a pair of rear speakers the process would have taken even longer. Can't even imagine what tuning some luxury sedans that have 12, 16, 23, even 31 speakers would be like. Would probably take 2 or 3 days to get it dialed in; maybe longer. Keep working on these videos. These are very useful and informative.

[@ekimandersom4478]

A 3 way in the front and 2 rear speakers and a sub should be maximum . No need for 16,23,31 speakers, that would sound horrible

[@mosiowaty1573]

@@ekimandersom4478 Phaeton had 11 speakers, I think

[@goyslop4289]

The crazy high speaker count systems in new vehicles are trash, they're stuffing the absolute cheapest smallest speakers anywhere they can to make people think they're getting a "luxury" sound system but they all sound like trash. We just did an escalade a couple weeks ago and ripped all 32 out for a morel 3 way.

[@ReginaldDotson-f9b]

Alpine goes way deeper than anybody on the market!

[@Gman2002]

This is why I purchased their amp and will be getting one of their DSPs for my new system.

[@adyandrey23andrey]

Have you heard of Helix, Mosconi, Goldhorn, Brax? Not trying to hate, Alpine does make good headunits and amps, but pales in comparison to the aforementioned brands, strictly for sound quality and complexity.

[@tomcora9417]

Wow! Times are tough, Paul Giamatti is working for Alpine out of his garage.

[@mbray10]

Times have always been tough for him 😂

[@audiogod2929]

Thank you Dan I have the tools to start tuning a car myself now.

[@jasonb.7152]

Thanks for the video, I just bought a pxe-x09, I have zero experience with a DSP so I have a lot to learn, I have plenty experience with aftermarket equipment I recently installed amplifiers,components and subs in my truck, I will install the new DSP soon. I am sure the knowledge from this video will help me tremendously starting out. Thank you.

[@unodetailing]

This is a great video for learners like me. I just want to tune my vehicle. Other videos go too fast and they don't explain anything. Thank you!

[@NelsonYambo]

This was very helpful... I know there's been a lot of changes since when equipment and apps... Will you be doing, or have done, an update video using some of the more current tools. Example, the Dayton audio iMM6 calibrated microphone and the setup using your phone for the average Joe?

[@DarronSanderson]

I'm loving your old school Alpine t-shirt! Where did you find it?

[@clockit-app]

Amazing tutorial. Wouldn't be easier to use REW to do the EQ calibration automatically? I like your method, but I feel it can be made simpler. DId you find any advantages with this method?

[@hassannasir90]

Hi great video. Just wanted an advice should I get a separate channel for each co-axiel speaker in the rear when going full active?

[@BSKAUTOMOBILEANDGARMENTT-ic6lu]

Thank you sir you are explained very Detailed 😊❤🙏🙏🙏

[@msoles30]

What kind of house curve are you using

[@mazolo23]

Great video, but how do I calculate a complete time alignment with front and rear speakers? 3Way in the front and 2 way in the back + sub

[@ginodavis]

+1

[@timgridley1299]

When will it be compatible with MacOS?

[@traxxi2003]

Great video! What do you recommend for hobbyist, which RTA could we get that is useful but tit doesn't cost as much as our stereo system?

[@mbray10]

UMIK-1 is very good and decent, Can use REW for the software if the DSP doesnt have it built in

[@cgrenesh]

This is the best. Well explained. i wanna try it on my newly installed Rockford DSR1.

[@nickdibart]

Did you have the rear stage muted while dialing in the front?

[@califmike2003]

Confused, where do you put your rear speakers on this calculator ? I have two front tweeters in the A pillar, i have to bass drivers on front doors, and two componet speakers behind each seat. I have the values for the front tweeters and front speakers on my doors, how to get rear speakers ?

[@ginodavis]

[@msoles30]

How did you import the house curve and how to get it

[@Leysner77]

What is the name of the rta program?

[@ruatpuiapuia4039]

Which microphone and rta app you are using.

[@richardgreen6987]

Dan. I have a Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone. Will it work for the tune?

[@ryantang6469]

Great video it’s helpful for me thanks a lot mate!

[@shakeelfaris7623]

Are you tuning this in 1/3 or 1/6 octave?

[@rastoginishant]

I have an alpine pxe r600 and if I use my cars factory headunit as input the sound is muddy as compared to connecting it directly with Bluetooth. What can I do to make it sound better with the factory HU? TIA

[@joseeduardopadilla5533]

the harnesses of my dsp are damaged where can I order or buy these cables can you guide me by fabor I am from guadalajara jalisco in mexico the model of my SOUND PROCESSORS is PXE-0850X

[@monkmoney2039]

Where are you located I need tou to program my apline dsp

[@MALLUCARZTECH]

Great video

[@mountainmayhemFPV]

How do did you load a house curve onto this? In the video you mentioned loading it, then you just had to match the flat line instead of the house curve.

[@ali-sleimanchehade6129]

Please can you do a video on power supply and battery maintainer? 🙏🙏 I’m struggling a lot with this 🙏🙏🙏

[@telsafoster]

Loved it. Thank you so much!!

[@FABIANME1]

Amazing video. What is the difference between the pxe-0850x and the pxe-0850s? Regards Fabian

[@hotjesssica954]

Is my understanding 850x is the newer model. Better software and app for tuning

[@caletzm]

So the profile is cater for bass not a rich detail experience?, is there a video for a more audiophile approach with rich bright detail snappy bass sound like a McIntosh or B&W approach versus a earth shacking rumble your trunk setup with all respect I was one like that too.

[@bobandweave763]

I have assembled a set of Alpine components for my truck S2-S68 right and left door, S2-S50 rear extended cab, one possibly two W10S4 subs and a Alpine S-A55V five channel amplifier. I am looking at the Alpine PXE-C60-60 DSP. Can you recommend a video on how to tune this with out a microphone or iPhone? My head unit is not Alpine sorry for that . I am also purchasing a custom sub enclosure. With .65 cf per sub.

[@VeeraswamyU]

Front &back components with passive &single subwoofer plz Tell me DSP tuning

[@eastsidahboy]

Hey Dan, I just recently installed a PXE 60C DSP is it better to adjust from an iphone and let the software does it job? it feels like it didnt have a precise adjustment when using youre finger to adjust the EQ curb from a phone!

[@dgc940]

Reminds me of setting up Dirac live on home theater. This tech is stright from H/t

[@jamesmanson2152]

How does one measure the distance of two subwoofers that are mono/one channel? Measure in the middle of the box?

[@MalcDiesel21]

Thank you so much for this! I now I have a WAY better understanding.

[@rachwalj]

Great video Dan. Super helpful!

[@leofender9974]

Really makes sense , real educational values

[@dralibeshara]

Is there another option where I don’t need the tuning bit . Just install and run

[@RB-3004]

It was an excellent tuning session..👍🏼

[@Jonlai8009]

I got a alpine pxe-m60-4 im trying to get the mobile app running but to no avail.

[@anandshah71]

How can I install the RTA didn’t understand is it supplied by alpine

[@repairvehicle]

Do you guys have customer service where I can call and ask questions about converting my 2012 Sequoia head unit to alpine and retain factory overhead screen function for watching videos but not playing DVD from the factory.

[@jordancastro5700]

If they don't, crutchfield can help you out.

[@surajbhan6549]

what tools use you

[@oooooo3231]

i cant see the screen that well. you don't need to be on the screen when showing it. it takes away the screen real estate. zoom in and use a 4k resolution. at times you didn't show us what it would look like if you over do something or way under. like the 3db. what happens if you over do it? like those things i couldn't get the details of the video to show.

[@adonaldson85]

Great video man! Just getting into improving my car audio. I have a 2020 ram with the Harman kardon sound system and just got a ported sub box with an LOC to pull off of my factory amplifier and run to my mono sub amp. I wanted to get a DSP to tune my subs with my factory speakers, but not sure what type of DSP to get and how to connect it. I know I have a mess of speakers, three in the dash, four in the front doors, two in the rear doors and two in the rear headliner with a factory 8-in sub behind the back bench. Plus I have my two 10-in subs rated at 800 wrms each with a 1200 wrms kicker amp. Any help on where to get started with a DSP would be much appreciated! Thanks!

[@mildaudiophile3879]

What’s the process for a 2 person car

[@DJPapiatl]

I installed one of these Alpine DSP but it is killing me and trying to eq it is driving me crazy

[@Zwakkie05]

Cool t-shirt 👍🏻😄

[@Kazanjion]

Thanks!

[@aliciaANDanthonySandoval]

I would love to get a dsp but no funds right now 😔 Anyway one day.

[@mafosa8519]

to bad you guys dont make a 4 channel etc. "the best share ive seen in a while!" larry

[@ericshaw7859]

If you give a mouse a cookie: decent amps then want dsp, then want rta, then need laptop lol

[@ali-sleimanchehade6129]

Man please make a software update and add an option to import text like helix dose so we wont have to set every filter manually 😩

[@valherustinger7848]

I love how this is about how to tune your DSP.....people dont have an RTA lol. So..if you want a DSP there should be another sentence that follows that....Youll also need to purchase an RTA. Audio Control RTA would cost more than someones entire upgrade budget lol

[@kewlbug]

Alpine needs REW text import like Helix, Arc, minidsp

[@armstrong-my2879]

oh god.. your voice make me sleep
