Omega5002 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Small update, friend Dave, who's been installing/building for 25 years, told me to add a ground to the body of the car since he says all of the car's electronic's are grounded to the body and says covering the body, frame, and engine block will provide no ground weakness, well did it and it got rid of my rca noise. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega5002 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Another small updateDeadened my rear doorsAlso got my door panels for the planned frontstageRic006 was nice enough to label my relay Here's the idea of the frontstage4 Goldwoods, 4 Silverflutes and 2 Dayton Planars2 Goldwood 8's per front door, with plans of treating themCrossed from 40-300hz(strictly midbass)2 Silverflutes 6.5's per kick panel(full range[they work their best full range], crossed at 100hz to protect them mechanically from bass, since they will act as a midrange, which they are excellent for). From what I read, having speakers in the kick panels makes the path length closer (speakers are closer to the ear), so helps with the width of staging and helps increase midrange.1 Planar per a-pillar, maybe off-axis, maybe 60% off axis, I'll play around with placement, crossed at 3k at a 12db slope. Interesting thing about these types of speakers, it's mostly horizontal dispersion instead of circle dispersion regular tweeters do, they are usually for line arrays, but I seen a few builds work well with them. Other interesting thing about them, they have no postive/negative polarity, it's a type of speaker that has no phasing, kind of interesting. Not trying to compete sq or anything, but do want a better frontstage that sounds better and louder without it being harsh ( cough cough Pro Audio [well the cheap shit most people run lol, good stuff is $$$$$])Power configAQ 120.4 on the planars and silverflutes60 rms( 8 ohm) per planar170 rms( 2 ohm) per pair of Flutes( 85 rms per piece)So about 1000 rms to the front stage lolAlso got 200ft of 12 gauge ofc speaker wire, from parts-express, was gonna go Sky High but they were out lol On the update of the alternator from Singer, Mike told me he has to get special parts from a few companies since my Kia alternator is a pain in the ass, but hopefully I should have it soon. Nice thing about getting an alt from Mike, I can bug him and he answers back Also answered all my questions as well, like if I need a shorter belt, which I do, which is normal. Hopefully I can tear everything out to re-wire and add wire this weekend, school work is gonna have me busy this whole week lol 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
