fuck yeah !
I havnt seen any speakers lately though or alot of things. I only been out in world for 3 years again now. Still holding out on my new install. New house comes first. I'm a decade behind ,lol. Rather 15 years , fuck .I put my 9835 in to start new system in 02 and to this day hasnt even been hooked to speakers. lol. I have a 700 h alpine processor too since i bandpass ever speaker. i forgot the exact part number. lol.Been awhile . I gotta build a rack and stuff. Old systems gutted in trunk .Going stealth this time.Ive deleted the kicks and moved my computors and my 6"morels go there now and vent to the subframe like most pro comp cars, but you cant hear my mids outside the car at 115 dbs ,hehe. Well through the glass at that level. Can even tell theres 8's in doors putting you ear up to them.I have i.d.q. 8's in front doors in fiberglass boxes i made . will change to subs maybe , havnt decided yet . Maybe go 8" subs because you dont want any sound projecting from the trunk . But 8's have a hard time doing 17 hz church pipe organs.. lol. May do a 12' in my spare tire hole and make adustable vent to tune. resanant frequency of car is 40 hz. fuck' my buddies t.bird has an 11 inch focal in the top of his dash .lol. I run titaniam rubber surround mbquart tweets 2 sets .170 watts a tweet with gaurds. One's in kick are bandpassed and one set on pillars in ghost mode 11k and up to combat rainbow effect. I also have each from seat made to go back 3 more inches making my stage ilke being there. Very focused !!!!!! My stage was eye height outside mirror to outside mirror and over the hood. Plus i have bad knees so dual effect there . hehe. With sound quality you want to get the distance from right ear to right speaker and left era top left speaker distance close as possible. Mine was 5 inchs. Not bad at all !!!! over a foot and well. ouch ! I was sound quality so it only did 145db. I dont know the rules now. Probably only have to hit 125-30db now maybe. Nothing in my car rattles. Its saverly sound deadend and insulated , foams you name it ! 1.5" of rubatex covers all door skins with plenty on layers of hi temp mastic and visiolastic throughout car inside and out . Removed bumpers and headliner and all to deaden. My system will be oldschool now for sure. I bought all the c2k zapcos from scott buwaldas old concert car 240 nissan back in 03 i think ..i was lucky enough for him to judge my car one time . 2-c2k 9.0s - 3 c2k 6.0 one being custom made by zapco so instead of being 170 and channel in watts they are 270 per , hehe. I will have about a 2800 watt front stage with head room to spare .lol. Im not going to blast it so hopefully my alt holds up .lol. or ill have to get a fast spin up 240 amper or whatever.
i've won 11 iasca s.q. events back to back included are 2 oregon state championships back in 2000-02 till my hearing fucked up and i started wasting from m.s.a. . and became homebound for a decade + . Thanks P2P . lol. i was 600 and up street class. When i my hearing went i broke all my trophies and guitar . I couldnt support anything on my lap any longer or touch shit .Nerve damage so bad i ate with light round plastic tools using steak knife to cut pancakes with problems.. lol. Couldnt rest my own hand on my lap even. So glad i dont listin to drs. Now ill be back for a second go around , woot. I even glued the body of my guitar back together. lol. fuck it !
I had several setting using a processor but i will give you how i ran the speakers for comp only.
subs 15-33 hertz
8's ran 40 to 120hz i think it was
Morels 6"- 120- about 2800hz I like to double the speakers fs for lowest frequency played. Soemthing like that lol.
Kick tweets 2800 - 11k
ghosted tweets in font pillares 16k and up rolling of nicely. I own an rta so .
On paper i can run gaps but on rta and ear there is no gap , woot ! I killed it on rta scoring lol. Id even bring my rta to events to help others beat me but they never did. lol. I took out an alpine sponcered car before my first run . lol. I tuned with a world champ car though. Helps. hehe.Listening to the alpine car you could tell he ran passives crossovers. yuck ! Gotta build your own crossover with quality parts or face less than quality sound !
well , hopefully i get her running again in next 2 years or so. My hearing fucked though. My last comp i had a few cheyan strokes taking out 4 and 8k in my left ear totally fucking everyhting up. I could krinkle a newspaper in my left ear and it sounded like it was commign from far away on right. Recently i thought my hearing got better because i hear the stage correctly again . I thought i got it back but in reality my right ear followed. Crappo. To hear full sound i gotta take a huge hit hold my nose and the compression opens my ears and i get an easy 3-6 db gain and hear all highs . Thats how i will have to tune next time and i bet i still beat them .lol. Yep , barefoot grandpa will be back to school the young ones. lol. i was the oldest guy in my area back then at 42 . Man what a change it was going from bose to a real system. Theres a saying "no highs or lows ,must be bose ".lol. Theres honduran mahagony in place of my bose deals on my rear deck speaks now. You can also see the pass through vent on back deck.
When i first started with the car i had m.b. quarts in the cab. 4 tweets , 4 6's in front doors , 4 8's in back doors and in boxes built to back deck and using processor i could switch to what set or all of them to run. Lots of sound but no focus what so ever.
Well happy car audio to all !!!!
I think im going to get all new door panels since i dont run back door speaks or 2 6's in front any longer. also i was thinkin about going 7 inch scanspeak in my kicks but now who nows whats out. Id like a little more lows in my kicks. Mids give you the stage. and some tweet. Took 15 hours to angling my 6's to get right and turned out they needed to be facing stright across at eachother. They are off axis style. kick tweets are angles at side pillars basically with pillar tweets facing eachother. I have material under my dash and all to reduce sound reflexions. hehe
