  1. I think he's describing a different use for them though.

    They're not ment as midrange drivers and probably won't perform as well as something you can get from madisound or parts express.

    If you're thinking of using them in a three way setup though, by all means, they'll be great for the low end.


  2. Rather than measuring right to your ear, measure to a common spot in the middle of the vehicle.

    How would that help?

    If the speakers are located at the same locations in the vehicle (i.e. doors), and you measured to a point in the center of the vehicle.....the speakers would measure equidistant :ughdunno:

    You would have to measure the differences at the listening position. Then again, I've never set time alignment with measurements.....I've always set it by ear.

    Because your head moves.

    You can't account for how you sit or if you're leaning to the left or the right. You also can't account for passengers being in the way of the waves.

    Better to just pick a common open spot in the space and aim for that. As close to your natural spot as possible of course.

    You can do timing by ear, or measuring, the only real way to get it right though is with mic and computer that can measure down to the .001 ms.


  3. I think it should be just the opposite ... tweets should be the farthest away from you and not pointed directly at the listener ... just my suggestion bro ... I don't think time alignment will help you at all the way it is ... It should sound great though, I personally think you don't need that much tweet.

    just my suggestions bro ...

    Incorrect. Time alignment should be used so that all the drivers are producing sound that is coming to your ear at the same time. Regardless of how many drivers he has producing whatever frequency, placement can be corrected with alignment and phase filters.


  4. umm aren't LED D/C and not A/C?

    as for your idea of having them flow with the music more stuff is involved i looked into it one day and said screw this! lol. but i may some day do something like your idea just i have no time for it now.

    and i think there was a thread about this already I just can't remember the name of it off hand. Hell i think i even started a thread like this back in the day lol

    You can get both iirc.


  5. the frame is always going to be the best ground possible.. since your alternator is grounded to your engine and then your engine is attached to the frame it's always going to be best. :peepwall:

    :eek5wavey:

    Not really... the path of least resistance will be the best ground. If your frame ground measures over 0 ohms, and a run from the battery measures less than that... the optimal ground is the battery.


  6. Just cause it makes no sense, like I stated in my post, you know what their talking about. Not everybody knows not to use the term on this forum. Who cares.

    no, really we don't know what they're talking about. That's why we REQUIRE people to better define their questions without using words that they don't fully understand the meaning of.

    Now, back to the topic at hand.
