ResoNix Sound Solutions - 2023 EMMA, IASCA, & MASQ Finals Competitor Spotlight - Brian Mitchell

[@explorinlearnindoing5462]

Nick, I must say I really enjoy these in depth inside car interviews, also the ones from years back on Nicks channel. I watched them all years back. Glad I found these recent ones. Good questions too. And also a nice person this competitor.

[@explorinlearnindoing5462]

One thing though, the lighting is pretty dark sometimes in the car. A light would be helpfull to see better....

[@ResoNixSoundSolutions]

@@explorinlearnindoing5462 unfortunately not much I can do about the lighting in competitors cars unless I start shining lights on them, which has its own issues :(

[@explorinlearnindoing5462]

@@ResoNixSoundSolutions Yeah I can imagine. If the cars were outside it wouldnt be a problem. But inside is a bit more difficult. I would try with using a small wide shining led, then we can see more, and we like nice visuals. It could add value to the vids... Gratitude anyhow for these vids Nick. Its nice and we can learn some things too!

Great car...great guy...and yes arc audio customer service is top notch from my personal experience.

Tweeter below the midrange on kick panel creates an offset at their voice coil, which creates an acoustic center that project the sound up. If you mount a tweeter above the midrange, on the same baffle plane, the direction is downward. And this is why if you look at home hi-fi stereo, they tilt the speaker backward in order for the sound to travel straight to the listener.

[@chrishuyler3580]

Correct, the same tactics used by home hifi speakers were being used in late 80s / early 90s installs. However when DSPs with time alignment came on the market none of that mattered. However it is still important that each tweeter is at the same axis to the listener and he was explaining that correctly, doesn’t have to be directly on axis, just the same.

[@constantinelheman]

@@chrishuyler3580 Correct. It is a passive time alignment. Still used today though in home hifi. Well expensive ones at least.

[@explorinlearnindoing5462]

There you see the value of talking to more pro people. Back then I always thought the tweeter should be above the mid, also in the kicks, bc otherwise the tweeter would be even lower.... I wish I knew this then, because although my kickpanels sounded amazing, the sound was to low and almost gone when I had a passenger. But it makes perfect sense indeed with the time allignment.

[@josephmuniz9959]

That part when he explained the front sub to you was hilarious. He really is a Jedi Master this is a beautiful car in so many ways. That rear view mirror is INCREDIBLE omg 😳

[@richy20119]

That build is next level. Very top notch

[@ricardomayorga9352]

The fact that he's running glycol for cooling is just fantastic

[@ResoNixSoundSolutions]

Dude, he's a jedi. What did you expect?

[@cbaileygo]

Beautiful build, love it.

[@anthonyalvarado9390]

Stoked you did this video. I heard a lot about this car. Thank you for the upload.

[@GG-si7fw]

Such a cool system in a unique car What front speakers did Brian use? I watched the video 3 times and couldn't figure it out. What is a gm650? He mentioned it a couple of times but I don't know what that refers to.

[@klifton]

I assume the M650-GM interface by NAV-TV.

[@ResoNixSoundSolutions]

He uses all Arc Audio products. The speakers are the Arc Audio RS. The GM650 is the Nav-TV GM650, which is a MOST150 integration piece for GM vehicles.

[@GG-si7fw]

@@ResoNixSoundSolutions Thanks for the reply. Keep up the great interviews.

[@satyavratadas1640]

Brian hadnt mentioned exactly what model "flat"sub he's running in the front. My guess would be a single Arc A10 but can anybody confirm this?

[@jayinmi3706]

O'Brian Kenobi, you're are only hope! lol

[@colbylaro9361]

Does the dog have a controller?..he's 70db too loud

[@rajasekhar9840]

Nice video 2 questions 1. From which part of the sub he has measured for time alignment 2. Any idea at what frequency the car is peaking and After what frequency the front sub is dropping off

[@chrishuyler3580]

Use impulse response to figure out how to time the subwoofer. Tape measure is the dark ages.

[@rajasekhar9840]

@@chrishuyler3580 I think you didn’t get my point on why I ask the time alignment query, Since the sub was facing down and it is then funnelled to the top of the dash, I wanted to understand from which point was the time alignment was considered

[@chrishuyler3580]

@@rajasekhar9840and what I am saying is that it can be measured with impulse response. The delay is likely going to be the path the sound wave traveled before it arrived at the listener. It’s not something you can accurately measure without impulse response (aka time it takes between playing a sound chirp and it arriving at the microphone placed near the listener’s head)

[@tayloremriectx]

Did he say the glycol is INSIDE of the amp? Like freely floating around on top of the components?

[@ResoNixSoundSolutions]

No

[@soultrain1127]

I’m normally a big fan of dogs…

[@ResoNixSoundSolutions]

Glad to hear that you are now a huge fan :)

[@chrishuyler3580]

Dear god, I have two small dogs and if I’m in public one of them is with me at all times so he doesn’t bark. I was waiting for you to close the doors so we could tell how quiet the interior was.

[@explorinlearnindoing5462]

Woww... those dogs were irritating...! I cant understand that ppl bring them to such an event, where you want pure SQ and have the whole car sound deadened. You might as well shoot some guns in a corner just for fun.

[@Nightjar726]

But bass is omnidirectional. He is right about loading the bass pointing it towards the floor. Don’t know. He is the expert

[@ResoNixSoundSolutions]

Yes, it is Omnidirectional. That doesn't mean you can't manipulate it :)

[@Sixfeetund3r]

This video has gotten me back into full blown Car audio. I miss my utopias godamnit. (still have active 3 way and idmax 16" IB in a 300c with Zapco amps and Mosconi DSP - i just havent had to touch it in 4 - 5 years hahaha - talk about reliability
