haemphyst's new system

First in car impressions... "One Note Wonder" Something bigbangs would probably LOVE! It sounds like @$$... Tuning will hopefully fix it all, involving crossover settings, adjusting of the stuffing, EQ curves, etc. I am referring ONLY to the sub... I haven't even connected the doors yet - it got dark before I could get to them. I don't think I am even worried about the doors, I KNOW what they can sound like. I will mention, however, that I am definitely hearing my desired "subterranean" response. And then some! Yeah, it goes DEEP!!! Actually, thinking about it now, and without even putting the mic in the car to see WHERE the problem children are, and knowing I haven't even played with any UCS settings, yet, I think I will leave the stuffing where it is for right now, and play with the electronic end, rather than the physical end. I have to work tomorrow, but I'll be spending the remainder of the afternoon in my trunk tomorrow and Sunday, trying to get the desired flat response. More details to follow! The PDX1.1000 is a BEAST! TONS of power on tap, but I think it's efficiency isn't as high as the 4.150's, as it was hotter than Hades when I put my hand on it!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Ow, baby... very ow. LOL It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

OK, kiddies! Daddy LIKE! Grinning from ear to ear, I was listening to Supertramp's last album "Some Things Never Change". (Highly recommended.) Track 2 has a kick drum in it that is NOTHING but subsonics, and this system nails it. The car doesn't vibe with this particualr track, it SHUDDERS. The seats massage you... Yeah, baby! Peter Gabriel's "Secret World Live", track 5, disc 1, has amazingly deep and fast bass, again, right on the head! Erasure's "The Innocents" also provides for an amusing listening experience! Classical listening tests are soon to happen! Efficiency is CERTAINLY lower than either a sealed or ESPECIALLY a vented box, it really WANTS (and likes) tons of power, but I have it in spades with the 1.1000 amp running it! I am MOST impressed with a couple of facts about this thing: 1: It's not there unless you need it to be, i.e. it never interferes with the music, no smearing of the image. 2: DEEEEEP. I haven't been able to throw anything at it that it can't handle, yet. Mad deebeez? Not at all, but musical, fast, deep, tight... (GFAA is MIA, so I'll have to locate that, as that has about the deepest stuff I own on it. Oh, wait! 1812 Overture! I'll let y'all know!) I haven't been able to bottom it out yet, either! I was right with leaving the physical portion of it alone, seems the stuffing was correct, right from the get-go. SOME very minor EQ tweaking and additional TD on the front stage will still be necessary, I think, but so far... Not a thing in the world wrong with it! I'll be dumping my mic in there with my laptop, and I'll post a few TrueRTA graphs, when I get them! Also, semi-final photos are coming! Dan, as far as the alternator, what model car exactly was it supposed to fit? The '94 Accord had a few options. The AYCE sounds like a good idea... I haven't had sushi in about 6 months! DYohn, you in?It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

No comments from ANYBODY? Dan? Dave? Bob? (I know... Bob's on vaca...) But still! I'd like your input, guys! Anyway, pics are in the works, (double-o, g-l-i-e install, so you won't get to see the trunk, just yet) as are RTA graphs, SPL measurements, final TD settings, what have you... Finally! It's playing!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Both copies of the spreadsheet won't open. I already tried both of them on three different machines (literally). Try sending it to me again!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

sent again..also read their website. i'm going to sue them for false advertisement. They are claiming the subwoofers has close to 2 inches of cone travel. Now .50inches doesnt even come close to 2 inches. Pioneer Deck
