Recommended Posts

Heres a progress pic, of the 12" Aura being tested in the door. With about as soild of a baffle as I can get.......I took a ton pictures to get to this point and will post if anyone is interested?

And a Question for you Sean or anyone else, in the next pic, IS the hole into the door lagre enough? this is as big as the first hole/metal can get due to the window motor. Let me know what you guys think, especially you Sean, Brad and Seth. (the techs)

Testing, testing........is this thing on? He,he.

So far I had about 10-15 minutes play. I already changed the slopes to 18 from 12db and that seems to clean up the sig more. I am crossing at 50-80 on bottom and 250-400 on top for testing. I will test more today, on my drive to work and report more a little while later today.

The blue tape is covering little holes. The foil tape is on the edges of the LLP, which I left on the door and sandwiched like a big gasket.

"enough" is hard to say. How does it fit in the hole? Of course the proof can be in the pudding a bit as well, if the low end isn't choked it is enough.

The low end is definetly not choked off. The top end is what gets nasty, anything over 400 sounds like rattling cone.

Then the hole is probably "big enough" :)

I am hoping to make a baffle for the 10" and compare that some today, The low end on the 12" is a monster.

I also plan on adding a few more layers of damplifer pro to the door this morning, The 12" is pushin' some air and having its way with the door.:P

When I first saw 10's in your doors I was like WOW! When you mentioned 12's I was like WTF! But I new after seeing the 10's this guy can make it happen and I see you have. Looks most excellent! As you told me time will be the key for getting them dialed in. Carry On!! Don't forget to post the pics. :fing34::fing34:

Whats the best way to paste a video? I assume start a you tube account.

I just did the A B comparision between the 10 and 12, and the 12 wins hands down on all fronts. SO commence with the build!!!!! I am ordering another 12 here directly!!! I already have a stash of Damplifier (30 sq or so) SO I am good there. :)

I can't wait to start finishing the panels, BUT I spent most of the last week doing ALOT of testing to make sure there is NO panel resonation left in the door.:wacko: KILL, KILL, KILL.
