That's why he wears crocks, it makes it easy to slip his feet out when he counts past 10.

Do you find your self not feeling motivated to do the other side? Cause that's how I felt Your doors are going to be premo midbass, If I'm ever remotely close to PA, We're listening to some Tool!

I'm NOT trying to be a smartass here... Honestly, how does it sound to you? I wonder with great curiosity how it sounds with the highs firing down in front of you like that. Sure wish I could check it out sometime just to see for myself. I can't say it's a direction I would ever choose for one of my builds, but I've learned over the years that definitely doesn't mean a damn thing. Over the years I've listened to some pretty fucked up installs (IMO & not my opinion of yours) that surprised the absolute hell out of me on how good they sounded or how loud they got. I tend not to form an opinion until I've seen AND heard it for myself.

Joe contacted me and we discussed it. He will not be a vendor here, but if he does sell a sig, he is required to send a small portion to SSA in return for the use of the forum.

Wow. That door looks pretty much factory. Mad props, is the other side this far along, or are you just doing one at a time?

Hi Joe!!! I'm bummed about the shipping issue, but we will get that back to you ASAP. Thanks for working with us on this fit and application, your input has been very valuable. I'm looking forward to seeing the installed product on your ride. Eric.

Looks cool. Wish I could hear you mid-bass setup.

The pod looks gorgeous!! Even though I like nekkid speakers, I really like how your grill came out. What did you come up with for volume?

i hope you scooped all the poop out of the cat litter right?

Your install is going to determine everything. You can spend the extra money on "better" gear and still have subpar results.

Made my first Blog post

did i hear supra? mmmm supra...

Pretty damn spiffy, I truely like the doors man. Wow is all I can say :fing34:

One last test fit. I had to cut a little a reglass but I expected that. I used cat litter to measure enclosure volume. Now I need to measure the amount of cat litter used to fill the enclosure to get the volume. I covered the enclosure in vinyl. There are more stretch marks than a 90 year old woman! I layed down some Stinger Roadkill Expert on the bottom. I also used grommets for the 10 gauge Gepco ocf wire. You can see the screw in 10-24 bolt thingies that I am using to mount the driver. Making the grill. I used plywood and perforated steel. This is the back side. The front side is counter sunk so the steel is flush. I used minature bal and socket thingies to mount the grill. I made an error with this. I should havd use 3 ball and socket thingies, I only used 2 Here she is on the door. I used "special acoustic" grill cloth lol. Not too bad. You know how it goes....looks good from afar but far from good lol.

Not the way things work. You ask permission FIRST. If you want to become a vendor and offer your services for sale on the forum, you can contact Aaron or Mark. If you want to "test the waters" before becoming a vendor, you can obtain approval for that through Aaron or Mark.

I dont think this is how you want to start out here... I think you should contact ssa first

Did you check and make sure that you can advertise like this on this forum?

I'm closing this thread. Not having this kind of pettiness on the forum is one of the things that has kept this forum head and shoulders above the rest.

I'm sorry bro, What Richard are we talking about ?? Clark ok bro, sorry ... according to http://www.usdaudio.com/sw/cars/ ... The Buick Grand National and the Acura Legend info does not say anything about processors and time alignment, just badd asss EQs and crossovers ... EQ and Crossover Rack The EQs and Crossover used in the Grand National were modified studio pieces. These rack mount pieces needed a custom rack made for them if they were going into the car. This is a picture of that rack. Two 30 band, 1/3 octave mono equalizers were located on the left side of the car. Next to them was an electronic crossover. And yes sir, I got the absolute pleasure to demo both cars ... EVERYONE in Car Audio should do it !!!

We aren't saying it isn't possible. Prestige's fat rat. Used a center channel because of imaging issues due to the seating arrangements of it being a van. However Nolan was using the proper processing to accomplish it. I am not a competitor or sq expert, and honestly have no passion for it. However because of who I worked for I was around the likes of steve brown, Gary Biggs, mark fakuda, Brian smictt(sp?), so I understand the concept. I just hate to see you start cutting up your dash without fully understanding what is involved in what you are trying to do.

I you have it in a IMAX theatre, why shouldn't it be in your vehicle ?? Wouldn't be the same if it was missing ... DO you sit in your truck to watch movies? Are you competing in the "best theater experience" class of "SQ" ocmpetitions? . . . Because a theater is used for viewing movies and their sound systems are set up to reproduce sound recorded for movies, not music. Movies are not recorded in stereo, there are microphones surrounding the entire set or it is processed in via computer during editing. It's already been mentioned that music is recorded in stereo aside from DVDA or CDA, but good luck finding the stuff. Nobody is saying you can not do it, and others have with success, but we get into the objective versus subjective debate yet again, like always and any time you bring judging and human ears into the equation, all objectivity goes out the window.

Ideally, there is no "rear ambience." That would simply be a reflection, something you don't want. Of course if you find a judge(s) who like this, it's better for you.

No, 99.99 percent of all music is stereo(left and right). No proper sq system(purely for music) uses rear channels. The best analogy is a live concert. It would sound really funny having speakers behind you because the stage is in front of you. A proper front stage can "separate" music just as if you are sitting at a live stage you can tell that the lead singer is midstage and the drums might be stage left and a piano might be stage right with your eyes closed. The only sq vehicle I gave been in with rear fill was alpine's x5 back in 2005 but it utilized their F1 system that is set up to play Dolby digital 7.1. And even then the rears only came on for movies

Fi resolved this over 22 days ago. There is absolutely no need for you to dig up old shit you are not even involved in. People reading the thread have no way of knowing the issue has been resolved. If it had, it should have been posted. This is a public forum for information and he has every right to get involved in any thread he damn well pleases, just the same as you do, so next time be careful with the keyboard.

Without the necessary processing, IMO it would be more of a hindrance than an aid. I know you have (had) pretty minimal processing....adding a center channel to that type of setup is probably not going to work well just based of off general acoustic principles. Or at the very least it will be very difficult to get right. For starters you would have to make sure all 3 speakers were equidistant (or very close thereto) otherwise the time arrival is going to be off. Second, from the drivers seat you are going to have left-side info coming from the center of the vehicle and far right info also coming from the center of the car.....that's going to hinder the width and proper image placement significantly. That's before we consider the possible constructive/destructive interference it could introduce into the frequency response and such. Good intentions. I just think that's the wrong method of achieving your goals....atleast without having the proper processing. Are you trying to get a more solid center after moving your mids to the doors? Easiest way to achieve that is with time alignment, which I don't think you have/had. But really it would make a world of difference. Time alignment and even FR from both sides of the vehicle (independently) will take care of a large portion of the center image ques. Ofcourse you would have a one-seater then. But that's the price of mids in the doors.

And further defines the problem in SQ competitions. As always, it depends on what your goals are. Personally if you are doing it, you might as well move your mids up high on both pillars and make a center pod so that they are all at the same level. And then of course I'd only use it for movies which I don't watch in a car so the reasoning is dubious. Of course for some reason you also seem to use rears which is equally as dubious so I say go for it if it makes you happy.

That, my friend, looks fukkin' Awesome!!! Hoping it gives the sound you are wanting cause it deffinetly has the looks!!

That is all I am after T-DOG! A little acceptance. I don't want everyone else to stop doin how they do and do what I do, cuz then I'd just be like everyone else. I just want to be a bit different, mix it up a little, keep a little diversity! Thank you! Thos 1st pics didnt turn out, went and took 2 more after pics, much better! Made 2 vids of HULK too, 1 short 1 long.

Whats up RLP! Thanks man, this post's for you! Of course when I record a movie with the camera it seems like what you would fear in car-audio...camera sounds terrible, rest assured it sounds wicked in person even without the subs! Loved those final pics so much, hated the other pics that made it look bad, had to quote myself :-P

Oh it does for sure! I couldn't have afforded to drive that thing, let alone insurance!

I havent decided if I wanted to lay some regular porcealin tyle or acoustic ceiling tile yet :-P hehe
