meade916 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi Steve!!! congrats for this amazing build you are doing... only 2 question: 1) why the tweeters hidden in the doors, and not in the pillar? you'd have a sound stage 100times superior with a sound quality unbelievable... 2) the mids (per door) work one in closed box and one in door or i mistake? if yes...why this solution? sorry for the questions...but i follow you for a great time sorry, forgot to answer the 2nd part. The door panel "pod" is open to both of the 6.5's. I know it looks like one is sealed and one is in the door but thats not the case. You will see in the upcoming pics later today. Thanks man! I love when people give suggestions but don't really know. You want your kids and tweets close together unless you are trying to raise your sound stage. it was only a curiosity!!!! curiosity for learn something... be quiet the reason N8 said that to you was because you said "it will be 100 times superior with sound quality unbelievable".......which isnt just curiosity, its just a bold statement which isn't necessarily true. Could it be? SURE! depends on the car and the install itself. Nobody here, not even me knows if my sound stage needs to be raised or not. So far, what i am hearing, i don't think it does. I even shit-canned the center channel idea. I had an amp and a new RF speaker ready to go and my sensai says ABSOLUTELY NOT.....so i said "OK" (he had his reasons) 2 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Sinewave Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I even shit-canned the center channel idea. I had an amp and a new RF speaker ready to go and my sensai says ABSOLUTELY NOT.....so i said "OK" (he had his reasons) Im glad you decided against it. Ive never been a fan of the sound from an added center channel when listening to stereo source material....it never sounded natural to me in IMO. By the time you get done tuning, you systems imaging will give that center stage naturally. Keep up the good work sir Edited July 30, 2012 by Sinewave 1 Quote I may not slam trunks anymore....but my trunk still slams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R James Trapp Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 i am by no means an expert but, i have my premier prs720's mounted down low in my doors in the gto. i mounted the tweets just above the mids with around 80 watts to them and when driving the stage is right at my head. its perfect,IMO. the pioneers are bright to begin with so i knew i didnt want them up high. with where your mounting your mids and tweets, when your driving, i think its going to be right on the money, especially with the amount of power your running. if your were to watch movies in surround, i could see the center channel, but it would have to have a ton of power to get past those mids and tweets. i wish i could hear it in person, i can only imagine the sound. sammy Hagar, three lock box at full tilt would be mind blowing!

IH8PunkRok Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I love when people give suggestions but don't really know. You want your kids and tweets close together unless you are trying to raise your sound stage. honest question when wouldnt you want to raise your sound stage? when it doesn't NEED to be raised you guys must know some sq voodoo then ive never liked tweeters in the doors. but then again sq is subjective id love to hear it just to really understand but for now ill just take your word on it Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other notes: The Lexus turned out to be a beautiful top notch install, and I bet it sounds amazing in person. Of course you always do great work Steve, wish I could hear it in person.

dog24fret Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Really nice Steve absolutely clean. I'm still unable to believe 5 amps and all that equipment in there. Just blended it all in so well it looks as if it came that way. Quote Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
