Where did you buy it?


Too many Sound Quality Car Audio secretes been exposed here! jeje

I bought it off amazon.

D, check this out...

I just found out that I will be asked to "co-pilot" Scott Buwalda's G35 at INAC/SBN this year. Yikes! This means I'll probably be doing demos and/or presenting the car to judges. Double yikes!! This is tantamount to being asked to run Black Betty through the lanes in his stead...

I'm starting to shake...

[derickveliz2]

Congratulations!!!

I really would like to check these cars my self.

I feel like the G35 it's a Marketing tool, and Black Betty is a work of art in Car Audio Industry!

Look what the P99 did with Auto T/A and Auto EQ...

(why Mids allways go up to 1.6kHz?)

Interesting?

That gmc piece seems to be a big version of noise canceling headphones.

Auto TA...what do you see on those measurements? Were those made by the deck or you? How does he auto TA sound?

The Deck generated those measurements!

I see point source been share by LOWs and MIDs.

Sounds ok, but stage is closer to me and a little lower. I haven't really listen to it, so in my way back home and I'll get more feed back.

[derickveliz2]

Ok!

After many miles listening and experimenting these are my thoughts:

The deck does a great job calculating reflections and Auto EQ sound good, T/A it's a little off and x-over points is not what I like. What I do like is that puts the Phase of the speakers in sync. and balances individually each speaker output, very nice features that I'm not able to do my self.

So putting back my MIDs as a point source, and my T/A numbers (by ear) my sound-stage becomes alive, it's higher, deeper and wider.

I have the feeling that now I'm going to do a custom EQ where I keep my x-over points.

I'll let you what is the outcome.

D,

E-mail to you. Tell me what you think of that file after you hear it in your car. The track should be a VERY good test of depth, imaging, stage height, tonality (with the guitar), and width.

[derickveliz2]

Holly Guacamole! that's nice!
I just played the track in my computer and headphones, it's amazing, how did you get the file?

It's a demonstration from Starkey Labs. These are the people who engineer/design hearing aids.

"Cetera" IIRC is an Algorithm created by the lab to better represent the difference in spatial cues and noises that the human ear perceives.

After hearing this on your headphones, get it into your car. Let me know what your thoughts are.

I plan on burning this to a CD or putting it on a flash drive and taking it to SBN/INAC and playing it in as many vehicles as possible.

Check this out...

will equal color matched trim rings. And yes, the left one looks bigger but it isn't. It's just the angle of the picture. If anything the right side ring is biger.

Anyway, I also have the kicks going through final coating before the final coat of high build, sanding, then it's onto the automotive primer, a couple coats of basecoat Toyota EO1, then the clear coat...

This should all be done by next week.

Then it's about epoxying the rings onto the door panels. Cross your fingers. Lots of pics to come.

[sqcomp]

Oh! And we're working out the tooling details on the Legatia 13 Pro subwoofer...

:)

I think you'll like it.

When ever you are done, send it to me I'll do the photo shoot!

Ok, I did it!

On the headphones sounds truly amazing, in the car it's a complete different experience...

First you got to think you are inside someones head and the ears are located where the sail panels are.

When Manuel turns his head away you can feel that, but he is outside the car, like I wrote above it's like the car becomes your head, so every thing happens out side the car.

When Manuel opens the door calling Luigi it's like the car is parked inside a big garage and the door is about 2 feet from the bumper of my car towards the right side, and Luigi is in another room even further away.

Manuel then sits on the left side about a foot from the left rear view mirror, a little lower like if he sits on a chair. Then Luigi comes in and goes to the right side and grabs the plastic bag, now when he puts it on top, it's like putting a huge bag over the car, it covers the complete cockpit from mirror to mirror.

Then Luigi moves to the right side and washes his hands the faucet feels like it's just beyond the right mirror, symmetrically at the same time the phone "rings" on the left side. Guido tells Manuel to pick up and I like when Manuel puts his guitar down and hits the floor.

When Luigi knocks on your head feels like he is hitting the top of the windshield on the left side. When Luigi snaps the fingers they are outside on the mirrors, then the scissors... every thing is outside the car starts on the right side right about the mirror then gets closer to the glass, BUT... never goes behind that just doesn't happen. Just moves in front of you to the left, outside the glass towards he mirror. When it moves to the top of the hair, it just goes in the center up above the windshield.

Same for the electric razor like the scissors but he doesn't goes above the head.

Then when Luigi walks around feels like he is walking outside the car from right to left. When he whispers "Cetera" in your left ear, is right where the left sail panel touches the a-pillar.


I'll try to make a diagram later.

Is this track awesome or what? Talk about testing boundaries!

Track is absolutely AWESOME!

Specially with headphones! in the car sounds amazing too but it wasn't create it to be played in a car, even though it's awesome and a little odd to believe it's possible, there are some things off, like going with the scissors behind your head, or whispering in your ear happens at sail panel area like I said before is like you are inside your head.

Boundaries... it's 3Dimentional excellent. With the headphones and in the car, to the sides left and right, back and front (no back for car) up and down, many layers starting with your ears(glass), around you in a room(outside your car), and a door that leads to another room(far forward).

I had my wife and son go through the track (earphones only) and my wife didn't stop saying... "how can they do that?"

I would love to talk to this guys to make tracks for our cars, that would be really COOL!

That assures me that GOOD quality recorded music really makes a difference in car and home audio.
