Hey all, last year I built up my car’s sound system. I replaced all the speakers, added a sub, did some sound deadening, and upgraded everything with the best parts I could find—stuff like W7, VXi, K2’s, and more. I also paid over $300 for a professional tune.
The tune wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t sound right to me. It wasn’t what I expected for the money I spent.
The thing is, I have OCD, and that makes me obsess over stuff like this. So, I decided to get my own audio interface and XLR mic. I spent a lot of time watching YouTube and reading on forums… but it paid off!
After tuning the system myself, I feel like it sounds way better than I ever expected. It actually sounds better than I thought it could.
The mic and interface together cost me about $60. My advice is, get a DSP and XLR/interface for tuning while you build your system. It’ll save you money in the long run, as your speakers might have way more potential if tuned properly.
