Bad news for me, I did my taxes and didn't work so well this time )o:

I'm going to have to start selling audio stuff.

So what do I have: (Just thinking loud)

2 pioneer amps

3 10" solo-baric kickers subwoofers

1 IDQ12 (maybe I'll keep this one)

1 10" Bazooka

and more...

mmm... I'm going to organize my self and let you guys know before I put all these stuff for sale.

D,

Get on my FB and look up Jeremy Weaver. See if he wants to take any of your stuff.

sqcomp · 02-10-2012, 11:57 PM

Next steps...I need to see where my imperfections are so that I can fill them:

^ Notice the "notch" where it looks like the plastic is cut funky and not in a straight line? It's actually a trick on the eyes.

^See? No real notch. Lots of places to fill and sand still.

That's one of the things high build primer is good for. If the primer can't cover it up, you absolutely know you need to work the issue out.

Wow!

Did you get new a-pillars?

Here is my x-over graph!

Absolutely new pillars.

Let's talk about your crossover points. That midbass, what is the range again? From what to what? looks like you've got some 24 dB slopes and 30 dB slopes mixed in there. That right side TA on the mid and low seem way far off. I'm concerned that there are some issues with phasing (only a suspicion though). Figure about the real distance between the mids and tweeters on the right side...are they really THAT far apart?

This is of course only observation off my own experience.

See? This is why you need to be out here. We've got Coffee Creek Correctional facility not 5 miles away form my place. Job! Bam! :P

How much did you pay for the new a-pillars?

midbass is 50Hz to (one click before 200Hz) I can't remember

Phasing... it could be that has been the hardest part for me to figure out correctly.

I'll check on the distance between the mids and tweeters on the right side tomorrow.

All my tuning has been by ear, here is the Auto T/A: (and that was with the sub in the trunk)

sqcomp · 02-14-2012, 01:25 AM

Oh GAWD...I despize the Auto TA. It doesn't work.

Oh! I just picked up an eibach pro kit. See? I'm trying to be like Derick!

I say make the mid measure within 2" of the tweeter measurement because that's truly what it is IIRC.

The pillars were something like $95 a piece from toyotapartszone.com. They've got great service and get the parts out quickly. I say that also knowing they're in California.

I'm thinking the midrange and tweeter, not the low and tweeter. I thought you had the mid up in the pillar. IIRC, the difference between the right side tweeter and right side mid was only an inch or two...
