Best SQ car in the WORLD!? 

What a super genuine and down to earth dude!

I’d like to tell everyone what a great guy Natan is. Truly loves his craft and it shows - constantly studying. Was willing to meet me in Japan one time while I was there to share some of his wisdom with me to try in my vehicle. So glad he did well at this event. Great job, Natan!

It was such an honor to meet Natan. His setup is the most intricate setup you'll ever experience in your life.

I’ve worked with Natan as I work for Toyota/Lexus. Man is brilliant at car audio. And we talks about the 90’s he was building walls like us all.

I think I might know this gentleman..... LOL Natan is amazing competitor and omg, just a great human being! He's helped me so much and I would NOT have the opportunities that I have today without him. Taylor, thanks for this video!

The sound system is defiantly worth more than the car, priorities. Well done! ! !

Great video, very cool guy, loved hearing him discuss things...

As I've gotten older, I find myself caring less about SPL and more about SQ. I bet this setup sounds otherworldly. I'd love to have the opportunity to hear it in person.

The most important thing is that it's a a manual. Props to this guy. Great build.

This is truly amazing and how he went about doing everything!

I used to compete in sq back in the early 2000s was tought by Eddie McCue who was a judge for Iasca and mecca and was also a representative for zapco. For the last 4yrs I've been building a 03 tahoe that can compete in sq ,spl ,and streetbattling .. This setup I have is by far the best sounding vehicle I ever built ,and prob the best sounding I've ever heard , it is so life like it's scary . I don't have the money now to get to some big shows so I can show the world just how good it is . But I'm located in maryland if anyone was interested in listening to it . I have built all the enclosures in this vehicle .An how this guy is running 16 speakers I'm running 26 . It's so good I would put it up against any vehicle in the world ,it was difficult to build this vehicle with how hard life has been on top of fighting with my wife to build this vehicle , I have sacrificed alot to build it because I've got something to prove . I've never had a sponsorship ever ,so I've done everything myself from everything I was taught. It will be a shame if the world never has a chance to hear my build , I have changed people's lives after hearing my system . I hope to one day be able to get the recognition that this build deserves.

I learn something new every time i watch this. Thank You.

Nice Video! Great run through on his system.

I came from the era of Richard Clark with his Buick Grand National + USD waveguides, Jon Whitledhe’s THE BUS, Rich Inferrera and his CRX, Car Audio & Electronics magazine, ADS amps, Precision Power, Orion and Rockford. Came across the videp above and I’d love to re-immerse myself into high-end car audio😛

Natan used to have a shop in Milwaukee called Enbies (I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled). I went to him a couple times for work and he was winning SQ competitions back in the late 90's

Great show 👍.

just stumbled on this video..I met him a few months ago in Jakarta..he was doing a small presentation about this car. And got to ask him a few tuning tips...he gave clues that changed the way i tune. Really an ear opening experience...btw, he does have a dsp specially made for this kind of setup.... Installed one for a very satisfied customer, which ordered another set on the spot. It should be available in the states by now..Natan is the real deal guys..

Great ,Sukses for Nathan from your friend in Indonesia .God Bless You .

I'd love to experience a demo of his system! Hopefully our paths will cross being that I'm relatively close to the Detroit area. Those new JBL's are intriguing, given that I'm a huge old school JBL GTi collector. Great video!

He grab all the trophies! Amazing build!

whew, Eton Core 2 retailing at just over $2k a pop USD as of 07/27/23, and he's got 6? I love it

My dad said Natan built him a custom box back in the early 90s. He had a shop in Milwaukee before Michigan. He's come along way!

Sure, here's a possible comment in American English for the RU-vid video with the title Best SQ car in the WORLD!? Wow, what an incredible find! The best SQ car in the world? Sign me up! Can't wait to see more videos about this amazing ride.

Wow! This is the real deal! I'm overwhelmed.. but in a good way 🙃

Super cool video!

Well that melted my brain .

Very genuine..

I wish I could have liked this video twice!... Amazing system. kinda feeling inadequate with my Helix and three way Audiofrog setup.

Good god, this dude installed a 7.2.4 Dilby Atmos system in a car?! And, I thought I was overkill.

I need this man to adopt me. Father!!!! What a absolute god, jamming the entire Lexus multimedia into a Suzuki sh-tbox! Amazing! Imagine him, seen as an old geezer, rolling into a car meet with that car and then flattening everything with the crisp quality!

I would love to take a road trip in that car just for the music!!

I have a true IB inverted 18 inch subwoofer where my spare tire was. I also have two 12s in a ported box. It's the best combo for proper bass.

People who've only heard big distorted bass systems but never car audio designed for high end audio quality are missing out

Dang. My second car was a 1989 Ford Festiva, and I took the rear seats out and built a stereo in it. I got the car for $800. It was nowhere near this guy's system, but it was a start. I used to have those same Revel Be tweeters in my home hifi speakers. (I currently have some JBL's with Be Super tweeters in them) I sell hifi for a living including Harman Luxury brands, but it's always cool to see what the car audio guys are coming up with. I bet this sounds amazing. I'm considering getting back into it and doing an SQ build in my regular cab Silverado now.

This guy is good with electronics. But many people don’t know that winning a competition does not mean “correct, high-quality sound.” I would really like to listen to his system and compare it with mine.

Legend.

I heard that car at the nationals in mo . , great car

Very good video

wow amazing ~

Nice job. That looks like the Mountaineer arena. I competed there about 20 years ago. What are quality subs today? I see Fosgate and JL are still around. I’m looking at dvc, if that even matters now.

Good video

Is there footage where we can watch the process of the judging?

Man imagine hoping in this car without knowing and just being confused af lol

I drove a 95 Geo metro and my friends liked the snare on Ice Cube's rap song because the speakers are so close to you. I put 2 way component speakers in the doors but the head rest speakers are the best for stereo separation. My audiobahn 1208q has been in operation since 2003 and the best car is the Volt because it is a hatch back with a 600 amp alternator and 10,000 watt lithium ion battery. I still like the Geo Metro because I got 55 mpg and I felt great spray painting it. I got a 2012 Cruze which also sounds amazing but the Volt's electrical system is stronger and the engine noise is gone unless you want to run the alternator which increases the capability further. I am only running Jensen 900.1 but it pushes the limit of car electricy dynamics.

anyway to get ahold of natan i also live in michigan would love to get his input I love mark levison for lexus system..

I wonder what's Nathan's top go to songs to test his work his preferences of audio tracks? Tech master Peb Computer love and anything dts does it for me...

He's got a cool looking system wish I could hear it sometime.

Using that Lexus hu and dsp is amazing, if he wasn’t an oem I wonder how difficult that would be?

Lexus audio equipment just tripled in price from the demand for this headunit and DSP amp integration

What is the RCA model and brand you are using?thank you

I'm trying to hear this in person

WOW

hahahha, I dont need that center speaker up high, because my car is small....bahahahahahahahhahahhahhahahha. That was great.

So that system comes with those cars? If so, that would be a great selling point for some people including me. I would def buy that car just because of that alone.

Also etani 1 is a great processor too the new quattro from tongom sb great I have valvalore I own the 25th anniversary sinfoni monoblocks and monolithic 1001 a etc

How come No Demo to hear what it sounds like?

Bro, next time let the person speak and stop interrupting.

NUTS!

Only way I could imagine this being better for my tastes is bigger/more subs, and in IB alignment, then do 8" midbasses instead of 6.5, and also put those IB.

Where does Rob Bess fall in place in all this? Thought he was some kind of champion himself

Nathan Budiono. Was he an Indonesian before moving to the U.S? 🤔

Has this car a blu ray player?

is there any headunit with preoutputs or a dsp like the one shown that supports 5.1 or 7.1.4, im trying to find one but i cant spend 1600 dollars on a headunit or dsp

100% money.

He struck me as stuck up when I tried asking him about his car... lol....

Bisa kirim rekaman hasil suaranya?

Hes in Michigan!? Gotta have a chat

So many drivers grouped would be a disaster, but i'm sure he's happy.

Dsp I use zapco ess 9038 but also brax dsp but best is diatone and bewith dsp and

I'm working on next SUV build with SQ / SPL. Just got 2 - 12" SPL subs. & 2 amps for the SPL subs. Both will push 6k watts RMS. Next I will order 2 Stereo integrity SQL series subs. Then their M25 MK2 tweeters. Their M3 carbon midbass speakers. Their TM65 MKIV speakers. Their SIQ series amplifiers. Not trying to compete. So STOP typing. 😆

Y didn't u let him play I would love to hear

Hi. Is Natan saying that the lexus LS 500 ,has the best car audio system?

Dude seems super cool but how u gonna have a SQ video and not play one second of music thru it?

This video is a game changer! The best SQ car in the world? Sign me up! 🚗💪 #SQCar #BestOfTheBest

He might just sell some Lexus out of this video.

Beryllium tweeters!?.? 😅😅😂

It's about taste no best

And we didn't get to hear it!

Isn’t Natan the guy that would beat Steve Meade in any competition SPL or SQ? I believe so.

3:20

Genius indonesian…

Psshh. Where the dBz at???

Heis using areana jbl come on tinny I use z studio zr opus and accuton ceramic and diamond usher diamond wilson labs tweeters areana come on

Better than Scott Buwalda?

Whatever No way this car defeats Richard Clark's GNX

All that talk but no demo smh

Definitely not the worlds greatest. But still awesome.

Definitely not the best sq car in the world. And why is there rear speaker in a "SQ" car. Front stage only.

$5k for a 3 way component system (Arena X) will make me chose another brand…..

too much hype, and as the man (Nathan) said: "and you did not heard it yet". So nice talk about the system, but not even recording some impressions seems to be pointless. If i watch an video about an high-end car audio installation, i want to hear something to get an impression. This is an Fanboy call.... thats awesome, really, oh totally great... without any foundation of the sound quality.

it's a shame that Samsung owns Jbl now

I'm all about this but it's gone too far....just need a disco ball around those terrible "looking" mounts ...I showed pro 251 to 500 when I was a teenager and won a bunch of shows...but this looks like a set up at a taylor swift concert...it looks clean but not drivable

🤮

But still no truck space science will not fix that problem but its cool If i want a SQ build that is what home audio builds is for not for a car it is straight facts

Absolute waste of my f****** time I was figuring I hear the system play at least even 5 Seconds😅😅😅
