Planning Speakers, Subwoofers, & Amplifiers for Car Audio Build - NEW PROJECT!

When we want to install a custom aftermarket car audio system with upgraded speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers we need to go through the process of choosing our gear. It's important that up front we consider our system goals and choose gear that aligns with those goals. In this video I take you along for the ride while I pick out gear for my next build project here on the channel!

Perfect timing. I am still putting together my plan for my big upgrade. I've been watching a ton of your videos, too. But this video answered a lot of questions that I didn't even know had to be asked! This is simply THE best channel to learn about DIY car audio in the most comprehensive, professional, yet simply videos. Thanks for all your years of dedication to car audio and I am definitely looking forward to seeing how this car progresses.

you're very conscise and clear when speaking to the audience. Greatly appreciated, because i'm hearing impaired and have no trouble understanding you. I also like how clear and detailed your explantions are. Attention to detail separates you from the rest. Keep up the great work! 👍

[Rickq]

I really like how you go into details and explain everything step by step. You actually makes everything easier to understand... Thanks for the Great information . Keep it up...🤙

Hi Mark! I started the real thing two years ago because of your videos. When i took the car to tune the audio (i have my own gear now), i got a lot of congrats from the pro's. After tuning i was invited to a lot of demos and shows only with what i'v built. Thanks!

[JustinKelly]

Great series on a newer vehicle! Although this is way more than I would be willing to spend, it provides all the info necessary of what is needed and what to look for. I would appreciate seeing more videos for this build!

[octavios]

I love your professionalism and engineering mindset - these qualities combined with the consideration of various types of customer needs calls for an exceptional experience both for the fabricator and the customer. Thank you for sharing your expertise and wisdom!

[justScrollin]

Mark is probably the most knowledgeable car audio guy on SM💯
Really enjoy learning from him💯

[TechniTiger]

I really appreciate all the info and guides!

I'm in the middle of trying to squeeze as much quality as I can out of a new Camry Hybrid, and all of this info is helping me to pick parts to sound good - without breaking that 30A max draw limit imposed by the inverter

[ryanpomedli]

Very cool. The JL C2 components are what I am going to try for my current project. Thanks for the clarity on these.

I’d love to see how you connect to the factory output then back to the speakers.

I had to do the same with my 19' Sonata. Crutchfield didn't have anything that could be used. AXXESS & PAC AUDIO makes wiring T harnesses for adding a DSP or LOC. No cutting factory wiring or T Tapping anywhere.

[jimmyjam]

I always enjoy your build vlogs!! Can't wait 😀

[ryangarrahy]

Great vid. Really appreciate your transparency. Helpful for me to understand what all of the different components do. I can tell you put in a lot of effort

If 4, 000 is a budget build what's my $250 build 😅

I miss the early 2000s I made so much side money doing systems. I made a dj truck the guy used at beach festivals. It ran on 2 generators and was 10 kilowatts. Used loud horns and 2 massive 4 Kw subs. Eventually it shook the truck apart. Ive always wanted to do another one with modern sound equipment and I would tackle Dolby Atmos surround sound true 5.1 spacial audio with hifi sound.

[gregroles]

Very much appreciated. Thought I had all I need for my install, then learn if the very likely need for load generating devices. It seems to never end with modern cars!

[TwitedAudio]

Would love to see the wire and accessories you decide on. I'm a big fan of Knukoncepts and would like to learn more about their products.

Been going for weeks part time on a Toyota sienna van. Did so much acoustical treatment to the front dooes and even in behind tghe trim, wiring, fiberglass pods at only the rear armrests, dynamatt! Etc etc. All this work for audio in a car. They should offer audio cars off the line.

[zmbietiger]

Just got a new car excited for a new 😊😊😊

[jiriza]

Great info, for my 23 tacos with JBL (and all the accessories) I plane on 3 way up front, Audio frog, Sony es or Alpine Hi res, 6. 1/2" in rear doors. JL audio 8ch and mono VXI amps. PAC audio 6 ch with optical output to maintain factory HU, or swap HU to a pioneer WT7600nex, or alpine halo 9".
