    midbass on doors install...

    I mounted my midbass (a Genesis Absolute 7") in my car and in my truck (incriminator audio 6 1/2") in the kickpanel of both vehicles on axis ans venting to the outside of the vehicle. I have a 4" hole in both of them that goes to the outside. I've had door mounted midbass more times than I can count, I won't ever do it again. It is almost impossible to stop all of the rattles. There are also some songs out there that will always pull to the doors. Pathlengths suck in the door. After fighting all that for years, I gave up. The kicks vented to the outside works great.

    Wall Layout

    <----SQ guy and I'm building a wall currently in a vehicle. Sometimes you have to remember this hobby is about fun. So you do a fun build. The truck with the wall will still be used in SQ competition. It will be at large shows competing in SQ in the pro levels the rest of the year. Beginning with Deep South Nationals.

    Chamfered Midbass Baffles

    Seems to me that doing that to the baffle would make it weaker. The last thing I want in my midbass baffle is resonance and having thin points on it will cause a loss of midbass. They should just make the speaker deeper so that isn't an issue.

    Total SQ Sub

    The flatlyne is the truth. I've done SQ for a stupid long time and it is the best sounding sub I've ever heard. Amazing.

    Old Image Dynamic 15

    The only ID subs I remember with that type of cone were the IDSPLs, but that doesn't look like the motor used on the IDSPLs. I wondering if that is a reconed IDQ series 1. You put that sub in a free-air set up and you will hear the beauty of it (if it is the IDQ). If it is the IDSPL---I got nothing on that.

    Help me pick drivers for a 3 way front stage

    If you put that car on a lift and look under it, you will notice two shoe box size enclosures. You can cut a hole in the first layer of the firewall and get access to that area and an 8" driver will flush in to the floor and be perfectly on axis with the listener. This is something several people did with that car back in the day for SQ competition. It works very nicely. Then you would have room to put a 4" and tweeter in the kickpanel. I've played with a bunch of 3" drivers----they work nicely in the dash and in the apillars (if you can get past other issues), but in the kicks they simply don't have the output to stay linear with the rest of the system. By the time you get the volume from the 3" to match up with the rest of the system you are driving that driver into heavy distortion. So you either have to choke back every other driver or deal with that sound. Go with a 4" or a 5 1/4" if you can fit it in the kicks. The extra cone area will allow you more output. It will work out much nicer. Don't go bigger than a 5 1/4", you get into some beaming issues with bigger drivers. If you are going to put a tweeter in the kickpanel you need something that has GREAT dispersion characteristics. If you don't have that, you are going to have a rainbow for a stage. That generally means a bigger dome driver. If you are using a small dome you may find one. A friend doing some testing may have found one yesterday--I'll know more later this week. After that if you go small you may want to try in the apillars or the sail panels to stop the rainbow. If you do go with the doors---spend a LOT of time deadening the door, wrapping the locks in rubber hose or split loom, zip tieing wires, deadening the door panel and everything else to try and stop rattles. I personally HATE doors for midbass locations but sometimes people are not willing to cut up there car to get midbass in the kicks. I understand that, but God I hate door mounted midbass.

    SQ help

    There are actually two ways to determine where center is. MECA and some judges in other organizations say that center is the center of the vehicle. IASCA (especially older IASCA judges) were taught that first you determine where the boundry of the left stage is. Then you determine where the boundry of the right stage is. Then center is--well in the center of those two points. Depth also needs to be determined to be truly accurate. I like the second method. the problem with a center of the steering wheel is that means that your right stage then goes from the center of your steering whell all the way over to the passenger a-pillar. Your left stage then goes from the center of the steering wheel to the left apillar (or the outside mirror if you have it tuned in). Either way you end up with a HUGE right stage and a very cramped left stage. That makes the recordings sound very weird when you are listenign to something wit a lot of different information in the left of center and left portions of the soundstage. it also makes things seem "thin" when you have information in right center and right. If you are competing--the easiest and safest way is to go with center of the vehicle. Know your judges though. If you get an old school IASCA judge, do it like above (left stage, right stage,depth, center).
