    Raspberry Pi-based Head Unit

    Thanks for the heads up man. I've heard about Volumio, but I think I assumed it was standalone like RuneAudio. I'll do some more research, it sounds perfect. As I mentioned at the start I'd love to open source this project so others can enjoy the benefit. Actually I have indeed started the...

    Stock System Upgrade Recommendation

    Alright, so I've looked at what's distributed in Aus & price ranges, brands. Here's the speakers I've come up with (NOTE AUD PRICES, just half it for equiv. US prices): MID-BASS DRIVERS:   Product Link Cost SB ACOUSTICS 6.5" MID-WOOFER -...

    I'm getting pretty excited about SQ for this build. Really keen for this to sound fantastic! A few bonus questions: What's a PA styled driver? Also I just thought realised something, if you're buying raw drivers, do you only get 1 per purchase? As in, you don't get a left and right like you...

    Stock System Upgrade Recommendation

    Haha we've gotten a little side tracked, but as per my initial post my budget is up to $200 USD per set (or equivelant). My endgame is I want to do the rest of my gear justice, I'm looking for maximum SQ, but also I don't want to buy speakers that simply will have no advantage or even a...

    Yeh, wow. Do you guys have any tips for buying decisions with these (non branded) speakers? I guess it's difficult to determine quality without brand rep and the pricing way off-scale. When I look at the specs I see voice coil sizing, cone material type, Vas(?) - There's also frequency response...

    220W RMS for a 6.5" and 100W RMS for the tweeter. Am I missing something, that's insane!? Please explain Hahaha I can only get 70W per channel out of my 4Ch Amp.

    Stock System Upgrade Recommendation

    Owning a DSP is new to me, so I'm yet to truly test it out and see its benefits with different speakers, this is all news to me. I guess that's why I'm hitting up these forums, to avoid the mistakes people with heaps of experience have already made. Honestly, I'm not after clear answers on what...

    Stock System Upgrade Recommendation

    I'm a little confused, youdoofus suggested I run the fronts 'active', as far as my understanding that was purchasing component speakers and running each tweeter active (having a dedicated channel on an amp and the DSP?) instead of passive (connected via a passive crossover from the door woofers)...

    Stock System Upgrade Recommendation

    Update: I went and listened to the JL's, Infinity 6520CX and Focal PS 165's in shop. Infinities sound profile was a bit heavy on the mid bass. Focals were bright in comparison and the JL's just sounded flat in response and blooming tight. TBH the infinities had some clear distortion in some...

    Thanks for the tips dude. I've got a shitty box that doesn't do my P3 justice. Ported you reckon? How would you describe the sound you get out of that? I only really get the low low end atm. P.S. What's a corner 45?

    Stock System Upgrade Recommendation

    Recently purchased a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer which I'm looking to turn into a bit of a Car Audio project. Apologies for poor terminology in advance as I'm a beginner with most of this stuff. Going to be doing a bunch of research, possibly going the full mile with sound deadening etc. and I'm...

    Raspberry Pi-based Head Unit

    Yeh man, I've ordered a 7" touch screen from eBay (largest I could find). A couple of variants you could buy, I picked up a 1024x600 screen, but the lower res are more common. Bought a right angle hdmi adapter in case as the port is on the side, haven't really found a suitable right angle Micro...

    Raspberry Pi-based Head Unit

    I managed to buy a Audison Bit.One in fantastic condition second hand today for $300 AUD. In US car audio economics that's about $150 USD, I'm very happy! Hope mentioned the Audison DSPs briefly, i would be interested in hearing more opinions on the bit one. I understand one of its limitations...

    Raspberry Pi-based Head Unit

    Thanks. I did some research on these devices, there's also the Audiophonics DAC Sabre V3 and the MamoBerry DAC all compatible with the Raspberry Pi that seem pretty good. I wanted to add as well, that the Allo Piano 2.1 that I meantioned apparently doesn't rate as well, but is cheaper. Hans...
