Shawndoggy '14 LSV Stereo Build

[justgary]

Maybe your wife can knit you a sweater like boots?

You're assuming that Boots wouldn't give up his?

[shawndoggy]

Gonna give it another try:

[Levi900RR]

I may have to follow suit there...

[DIE2SURF]

as will I...

[CJAY]

I love mine, they work great.

[Levi900RR]

No Bluetooth?

[shawndoggy]

boat has BT. Gonna see how I like the factory BT, and if not add a dongle. I have the HSE revolution, so I'd prefer the BT be upstream of the EQ so I get the benefit of the volume control.

I am still mourning the loss of my HSE.

I am still mourning the loss of my HSE.

It's funny but that was NEVER even a consideration for being part of the deal on the old boat. HSE ain't for sale!

[Lance B. Johnson]

I didn't sell mine though. I would never have sold it in fact. Something happened in my old boat and the HU and HSE blew at the same time.

I run everything into my Rockford fosgate black box and then go with one RCA into and Arc ALD and then into the input of the WS 420.

Works like a charm and I will never run another EQ without and ALD

[nyryan2001]

Murph, why a line driver into the EQ?

Isn't that redundant? 10v into a device that is sworn already to give 8-10v?

yeah I don't know how much, but the HSE definitely steps up voltage. My first one died and when I ran everything straight into the eq it sounded substantially worse. If I didn't already have the HSE between the HU and the EQ I'd be considering a line driver too.

trying to learn a bit about electronics and audio through this thread. Shawn what is an HSE?

Hook a multimeter to an the output of the EQ, u have to have everything pegged to get the stated voltage.

That creates noise.

ALD allows me to run my headuniit at 75 and my EQ at 75 on volume at 50 on gains. Percentages.

ALD maybe at 60 percent,

Amortize the gains across the board and you will keep hiss and unwanted noise out.

Wait....they are making it again? (HSE)

[shawndoggy]

no, that's just the ad that the aussie guy that bought out all the remaining stock back in 2010 put up. They are gone AFAIK.

I'm definitely going to want something like that

[Lance B. Johnson]

They don't make them anymore. I don't know why....

[Levi900RR]

Time to order up a Rasberry Pi and figure out how to make my own HSE

[Lance B. Johnson]

Make 2 while your at it

[mainekneeboarder]

I didn't even know something like that (HSE) existed for boats. I'm not a huge stereo freak, but that is one of the stereo upgrades I would do!! I have even mentioned to my girlfriend I wish the boat had it like vehicles do. There must not have been a big market for this thou? No one makes them anymore at all?
