Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[sqcomp]

Notice the scores on imaging and linearity? They need to give you feedback as to why you scored like that.

Again, the rules permit you to be in the amateur class. Why they put you in pro/am on your very first competition is beyond me. That class is for peeps who have played the game for a few years.

The next time to enter SQc, circle amateur. This is absolutely the highest you should compete a right now...IMHO.

The following, I will say as someone who has walked the path before...

We can do better than 206. Also know that this is a local show with amateur judges at best. Hell, they didn't even write the name down of the judge on the IASCA sheet. I know your vehicle can do 230+. I know, I've done it.

I did, but here is where it comes to precision "sweet spot" and these guys are a lot taller than me, I bet without knowing they block the direct path between left Mid to left ear with their leg/foot, besides that because in the difference in height between them and me, their ears weren't at the sweet spot location, this completely shifts the stage to the right and screws up the image and linearity.

one judge said that the center image was to the left, sure if he blocks the left Mid, I know for a fact that the center image shifts to the right. and I remember what you wrote to me... that is why Mids in a-pillars are good, so this is not an issue any more... "Play the game"

judge #2 tells me that left is about 1 inch inside the a-pillar, OK, at this point I want to cut my veins... and/or my ears are not working properly... but then I think, there is a tweeter beyond outside the a-pillar so what's going on... again I bet the difference in height was about 6-8 inches and with big legs and foot blocking the Mid,... yes the left side of the stage may sound like inside the a-pillar.

now I maybe crazy but at the sweet spot and not blocking the left Mid... the Left isn't inside the a-pillar... and the center is not towards the right...
that is why I had one of the best guys at the show (that happens to be my height) try the sweet spot inside the Yaris and he was very impressed! he also explain to me a little bit how to level the EQ using RTA.

I know about the "Class" issue, I read the rules but they didn't let me choose in the class I wanted to participate. It was funny one guy complained that he was set as amateur by mistake!

I'm sure 206 is under rated, specially with the issues I described above.

Now I have to learn how to RTA, buy a mic and get a good software! and...

It's not for competition, it's for me, in the pursuit of the BEST SOUND for "my self"
