Beginner guide to Car Audio Tuning with REW

UPDATE: Please note that this is a basic guide to get started and many mistakes were made that were brought to my attention after the video was uploaded. Apparently you can export the EQ as a txt file and upload directly to Helix. Also, Peter from PSSound responded on Facebook and stated this:

"You measure in 1/48 highest resolution, so you can see EVERYTHING! All the narrow dips and peaks too and THEN you can apply 1/12 or 1/6 smoothing. Also, mic technique is not the best as mentioned above, so you base your filters on a slightly false measurement. Then the target curve is selected quite wrong as if you have to use more than +4-6dB (and you did way more than that in the lower midrange), you’ll overdrive the DSP outputs to clip. Rather select lower target level and in given cases you may need to select different Xovers too, readjust gains. Like in your video if your mid can not deliver the lower midrange, then increase the HPF on it."

This video is outdated and will be replaced with a newer refined version in the future.
