Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

You should notice that aiming in on the mids should give some great imaging.

Also, if you're sure that the noise I'd from the amp and not a cable attached to the amplifier, let's get it back to the shop so we can warranty it and get you a new one.

It's amazing... I can't believe how acoustics works! you got to try it out to feel each scenario. specially with tracks like the 7 drums, the left center right voices, etc. There is one song I have with Marimba playing, and sounds like if the Marimba is right in front of me and I can see/feel every time they hit each note and goes left, right back and forth, very cool.

Now I need to learn/understand more about Time Alignment, why there are 2 numbers, kind of the distance of each driver to the listener, but is that physically a number or by ear?

Let me try one more time before sending back the amp, I'm going to change all power wires next week. For now I'm pretty sure it's not the cable (RCA) [or I have 5 bad RCA cables].

Any news on the I6SW?

We received the I6SW yesterday. Remind me what Jim has going on with it?

What specifically did you want to know about the time alignment section of the deck? If we were to stick with the two choices you listed, to tune it by the numbers or to tune it by ear...

by ear ALL the way. With that being said, our T/A section is by measurement. I don't recall with the P-99's measurement units are. I know mine are in Centimeters.

There are WAAAY too many factors going on in a car's interior to simply plug in a mathematical equation then set it and forget it. It'd take several advanced algorithms and a big processor...which neither of us have (although I'm close with the JK Labs guys who did Scott's processor).

Still, at our level, your ears are what you're impressing. Time alignment will vary with the crossover as well. Let's start basically. The pre-programmed left side tune in that deck is pretty good.

What do you think of it's sound in relevance to proper staging?

...speaking of, do you have a good reference staging track where you know POSITIVELY where all instruments are?
