I DIY install DSP is quite easy
pravinsaiAgreed with ycs ,my 1st time maybe 30mins needed for installation, and 2nd time onwards maybe need only 15-20mins. (installed for my mom X50 too).
For tuning , you could also try to learn tune it on your first. Youtube is there to teach.
You probably need a good hear, audio file suitable for tuning use (I use white noise only) and then a good mic to pickup the frequency (I'm using Ipad Pro). Last a laptop for tuning.
Simple work around I learned/or using as follows:-
Assuming all your speakers all from factory (no mixing in positive and negative in the cabling) then no need to check for polar. {ignore this if cant follow, you don't need to).
1.
Set the centre of stage where you will be listening. Make adjustments by measuring distance between you and each speaker group. Most DSP allows you to key in the distance or delay in milliseconds (ms).
2.
Set your HU to flat output (minimum or no equaliser effect) to avoid any frequencies being filtered by HU.
Now repeats this for each speaker.
3.
I play white noise and using my Ipad Pro to pick the dsp frequencies. If you DSP is 31 channels please also look for app that can display 31 channels.
4.
From the white noise, you should get a reasonably flat line across all the frequency pickup by the good mic (my Ipad), if certain frequency is too low or too high try to adjust in the dsp program.
5.
To adjust, 1st try to filter the frequency according to the type of speakers that you having and you will wanted to limit the frequency range in each speaker.
Why? each speaker are designed to work in specific range, beyond the range may damage your speaker (if no hardware/capacitor filter there) and importantly with limited frequency range, the speaker can produce more accurate sound, example tweeter or front speaker dont like frequency below 5khz range and rear speakers don't like anything more than 16 or 20kHz range.
6.
Once you get the reasonably flat on those frequencies, try to tune all speakers have to similar output level not that front too soft or back too loud.
7.
Fine tuning on the speakers to your liking , for instance your like a more treble on front or back speakers or more bass or soft base or mid for vocal. (remember the rules, your speaker works better when given limited frequency range and work better in their destinated freq range.
Coming to subwoofer installation it was easier than I tot.
I don't have the right tool that thin and strong enough to pull the power cable from battery to the subwoofer , so I ended paying rm150 for accessories shop in Penang Island to help pull the cable and also get a nice RCA cables connected between the dsp and subwoofer.
Since my subwoofer have a very flat output, no tunning was needed for my subw. Just level adjust from the subw control itself.
End of my DIY story. Thanks for reading .
