My new install

Recommended Posts

I have been working on my new system ....it is not complete yet

I still have to move the amps to their new location inverted on

the ceiling above the rear seat area..new vinyl on the front and rear

doors and the rear deck/back seat area still need to be done

but this is what I got done so far

the tweeter configuration is different...I tried one tweet in the doors..one

on the pillar,both in the pillar,both in the doors exc... and I ended up with

this configuration....

with the use of the wave guides and the way they are placed the imaging

is extreamly good....

Basically, what I'm saying....

Use one tweeter.

I doubt the deck you have has the necessary time alignment functions to make that setup "really" sound good.

I guess the last 23 years of car audio has put my ears out of phase...

seriously...it sounds really good...by far the best sounding components

I have ever heard in a car..regardless of the tweeter configuration

like I said earlier..I tried one set of tweets and both sets many different

ways and this way sounded best

It makes me sad that you haven't heard a real car stereo in 23 years of you being in it.

you got me there.....my last system had a clock radio in each

corner and one on the middle of the dash for the center channel

, the sub box had a pink elephant rotating behind glass

I have since upgrade.... fing05.gif

i like the new boxx :)

what is it ported to ?

the old box was a common chamber with 1.6cf3 per sub

plus sub and port dissplacement tunned at 30hz

the new box is 1.60cf3 per sub plus sub and port dissplacement

(seperate chambers) and tunned at 32hz...

so I tried the 32hz tunning for a while...

I liked the tightness and high impact of the

enclosure tunned at 30hz...

so the seperate cavity enclosure is up for grabs...

I am building another seperate chamber tunned at 30hz

I moved the BPX 2200.1 off the floor and put it

on a simple amp rack in front of the enclosure

for now...once the snow goes away and it warms

up I'll strip the interior to build the ceiling amp rack

and dynamat everything

it looks more like a surf board than an amp

this is the largest possible enclosure I can make and still be able

to take it in and out..I had to router the edges of the bottom pannel

on these enclosures to get them to fit into the trunk

it hits really good with the 30hz box...

when I build the box for all 4 woofers I will be tunning it down at about

27hz

It's nothing extremely special. Right now I'm looking at a board almost identical to the one in your amp :)

actually yes it does....I found time today to do some fine tunning...there is a time

alignment adjustment for every RCA out...

I set the automatic time alignment and also did a custom setting

once again with each set on it's own and with both and even played with the

auto eq....

so far I'm really liking this head unit
