Why you need a DSP when upgrading your audio on your Harley-Davidson, Sling shot or TRex

[@nickydavis1726]

The world needs more people like you Carlos very kind and thoughtful of you to take time out of your extremely busy schedule to make these videos to help us learn to do our own installs and tunes! All this knowledge and help is totally free for us and you are actually loosing money by teaching us on your time! Thank you sir I have learned so much from your videos!

[@ainsleydoyle9825]

This video the best DSP video I have ever seen. He make it so easy to understand without getting all technical for the basic listener.

Carlos its me Tony. You did me and my buddy Reggie's bag cutouts this past July. I completed my system on my Harley and using your guidance on everything from oxygen free copper wiring to tuning my DSP, my bike sounds phenomenal!!!! I love it love it love it! Love it! Anybody watching this video should listen and learn, because this brother is literally preaching the gospel of audio installation! He took the time out to explain to me in layman's terms how to do my install on my bike.. Good job Carlos! Keep up the good work my brother..... 👍👍

Thank you Tony This make me so happy This is exactly why I do it 🙏🏼

[@floydkemp3134]

Floyd Kemp 1 second ago Don't mean to change tone but after watching your DSR-1 video I have a question will it work for my system? I have 1 Focal Sport 4 ch amp in my fairing, 1 Focal Sport 4 ch amp in my bag, and 1 Diamond 2 ch amp in my other bag for my subs. Speakers are 2 Hertz 6.5 fairing, 2 Hertz 6.5 lowers, 2 Hertz 6x9's bag lids, 2 JL 8" Subs in bags and 2 Hertz Nano Tweeters in my bag. So will a DSR-1 work for my setup? Your video says all bike audio upgrade should run Some kind of DSP.

[@NVSAUDIO]

@@floydkemp3134 yes it will

[@TruckerMall]

I just started watching because I just got 2020 road glide limited and I learned so much already didn't know how sophisticated it can really get putting music on your harley very much appreciated for your videos.

[@suburbanworkshop]

Best Video so far....think I have almost viewed all of your videos for the last 2 years. You just debunked a lot of they myths and stuff I was nervous about as far as taking on a DIY project. The only thing better would be to do a video about all of the premade wiring harnesses and brackets that you make (please sell them) so that user's can place an order for speakers, DSP, Amps, cable harnesses, etc. and have a real clean DIY project. Good job Carlos...very informative

[@biggboyb6381]

Anyone that knows audio like they say they do will automatically agree that Carlos truly knows his stuff by observing the specific brands that are in the shop in the background. Anyone that deals with Arc Audio, Audison / Hertz or Zapco along with the new brands are a real audiophile. Much respect Carlos 👍🏾💯

[@NVSAUDIO]

Thank you sir 🙏🏼

[@applicator40usa69]

A DSP is so nice. It's the best tool to tune your set up. I love the fact that I can go into my system via bluetooth with my phone and do minor adjustments as I see fit. Anyone who knows audio would know a DSP is part of the set up. Don't cheap out...Get the DSP.

[@bassheadlife492]

It's the best, I use dayton 408 because it was in my budget and I mess with it pretty often

Wow Time alignment strengthens midbass response 😯

[@savondeck]

Rockford maestro dsr1 preamp voltage out question After everything it is hooked up how do we keep that set preamp voltage going to the amp Would playing with crossovers and eq adjustments on the fly will throw off our voltage level? Right? Just like how when we adjust the head unit it would effect the voltage going to the amp. Thanks for all the videos I’ve learned so much from you.

[@NVSAUDIO]

The measurements are an average, and with this average, the dynamic range of the music has been taken into consideration

I have a Sony 7000 head unit..diamond audio amp for my front speakers, hertz 165 neo show, and 2 hertz horn tweeters, and a diamond audio amp in the rear saddle bag to push my 4 hertz neo 6x9's, will that Rockford Fosgate DSP work with my set up?? And will it help make my sound better?
