mObridge DSP 8.1 Ford A2B

[Jbcaindo]

?nice! I may just have to take you up on that as I'm pretty much only on the opposite side of the state and then some. Funny enough, I figured you might be in KC as I'll be out there in a couple weeks for work, but flying out luckily versus making that wonderful drive.

A customer from Boulder, CO just came and retrieved his Super Air Nautique g25 Paragon I did a bunch of work to. ???

Quick easy, read: boring, drive across 70!

I'll beat the dead horse for fun. I tried the AC 5.1300 in my 2023 B&O normal and it was awful. Software and summing was horrible, and it was noisy. I tried the Bluetooth adapter and I could hear the unit pulse noise thru the system. I bought a Mobridge preamp and it all came together better, but the noise from the amp was bad enough that even my 5 year old made comments.
After 6 months I finally bought the full Mobridge amp, and with AMAZING customer service this truck ROCKS! I am using their base tune with some tweaking and it sounds amazing.
I have Infinity Kappa 6x9 components up front, Kappa 6.5 components in the rear doors, Infinity reference 3.5 center(kappa doesn't make a 3.5) and a single Hertz 10" MPS 250 S2 sub.

I'd recommend everyday. Also have a AC 5.1300 for sale if anyone wants

PEBCAK?

That's a lot of highs, especially bright speakers like Kappas.

Can you send a pic of the install on the amp rack?

Problem was the amp and software. I spent countless hours with AC tech support and the system never got right. I've always like AC's products. I had an epicenter in my 2009 that worked great, loved it. But the Mobridge is a superior product, and their tech support is amazing. I submitted a question on their website and got a phone call back in 30 mins. Like I said, I have an AC 5.1300 for sale.

Here's the install. It's not pretty, it's functional. I went from the high level inputs into the old AC 5.1300, then converted to the Mobridge DSP, then to the A2B setup. It's tucked behind the seat anyways.

Glad you got taken care of quickly and are finally happy with your system.

Any updates on how the amp is functioning fully loaded?

Would you still recommend?

How has the Mobridge been?
Any trouble running all channels loaded?
Do you feel it's lacking in any way?

 

[cnitty76]

I've successfully installed them as a professional.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them and I'll answer when I can.

Thinking of Mobridge k2 8.1.1 or Audison AF M8.14bit.
I'm leaning to the Audison because I think it gives me more flexibility with more DSP channels when adding amplifiers.

@Jbcaindo I'm interested in this as well. Since it looks like you have extensive experience with both the Mobridge and Audison amps, could you give any feedback on pros and cons to going with either? I like the simplicity of the Mobridge but there are always tradeoffs. FWIW I only have a Ranger (sorry F-150 people) and will have one 10" sub. Thank you.

Any recommendations for a remote tuner for this solution? @mObridge was kind enough to help with a remote tune, but at the time I hadn't installed mids and was using a terrible cheap microphone. Have since acquired a proper mic and have all my speakers/subs in place.

Dave did mine in person, not sure he does remote. He did a fantastic job with mine.

Zero chance nick will remote tune a Mobridge aio.
