I'll go in details later, its a very simple project but means a lot for me.

A little bit about "CENTER IMAGE-STAGE WIDTH-STAGE HEIGHT Relative to speaker Location!

Hi D, I was looking over the image when you sound deadened your doors, did you keep the plastic cover that was initially on there? I was going to install new speakers and eventually deaden the doors - should I keep the plastic covering?

Gone! for good.

It's a moisture barrier. (like a transparent plastic bag)

The treatment on the doors is on 3 sides, inside of the door (outer skin) then the inner part (that holds the panel) and the Panel it self.

I check once in a while for water and every thing looks good.

this need be replaced be something like dynomat.. good idea is also to cover the holes with smth (under dynomat)

those plastic films are actually for soundproofing

I did not realize it was a moisture barrier . I'll be installing my speakers, along with my auto locks/windows at the same time. I'll have to hold off on removing the plastic for good until I get the proper material. Thank you for your quick reply!

Tuning tool most definately.

Did you have something else in mind?

Well, I've been disappointed because I can't find a good RTA to work on, I tried my iPad and my cheap cell phone with no success.

i6SW hold on tight! here it comes a 14 Years old 10" solo-baric!

I know this is not apples to apples, but I feel the need to compare and experiment. so here is my test box! (it's snowing any way lol)

- Same power and source
- Box is twice as big or about the same as (2)i6SW that I'm going to try later on.
- 10" sealed box against 6.5" vented box
- 14 years of technology

Tomorrow is the big test.

D,

You know if you we're out here we'd work the 3055 and get you set up...

I'm interested to hear your impression on the solo...the old rounds are some of my favorites. Gotta round off those edges...have a table router? ��

ps.. no table router )o:

If I didn't have the compressor and the tank in the trunk along with the amps, I'd work another Solo D 15"...

You know...I might have to think about this for a little bit. Those Solo D 15s only need a cube and a half...no no...It's better if I don't. I still have that ML3800 sitting up in the spare bedroom that I have the custom trunk enclosure for. If I want a 15" woofer, I've got an amazing one already.

Sorry, fleeting moment of weakness for the old solos.

How good the little i6SW is! versus the Solo-B 10"!

[derickveliz2]

i6SW against Solo-Baric 10D - Power was 400 watts RMS



Enclosure i6SW wins, it's almost half of the Solo-10 (.35cf vrs .66cuf)

In Car SPL goes for the Solo-10, Yes the bigger the better, but my ears hurt and honestly I just couldn't listen for my 3 hours commute and enjoy my music the way I do with the i6SW, in other words the Solo-10 for me is overwhelming


Tonal balance: if the volume is from Low - Moderate - to High... the i6SW it's my favorite, now if I cranck it all the way up to MAX VOLUMEN... the Solo-10 WINS. (max volume is 2 or 3 clicks before distortion)

Low frequency extension At low-Moderate volume the i6SW takes the lead, At Max Volume the Solo-10 wins

Clarity at high volume (high volume not max volume) the i6SW takes the lead.

Clarity at low volume, there is some thing magical about the i6SW that makes me smile.

Impact - Both are good

Overall sound quality - 2 thumbs up for the i6SW! I don't know what it is, maybe because it fires forward deep into the fire wall, but the big difference is the i6SW hits my chest, and the Solo-10 hits my ears and my head. I have a little cold and stuffy nose, so maybe that explains the ears, but I'll keep the Solo for a couple more commuting days and then report back, but ...


If Had to buy one between these 2, I wouldn't think twice... the i6SW is the ONE!

Next step!... lets plan on doing a second box for a second i6SW and see/feel/hear what happens!

The never ending story!
