Hey looks awesome, but...

I'm a little confuse/frustrated

with aiming/orientation of your speakers, is this part or your experiment that you talked about befere?
I imagine that the windshield will create lots of "Diffractions and Reflexions" and I read and see others aiming speakers towards the pilot and passenger,

Like these suggestions I got from HERTZ's website...

BTW I ordered my HL70 last week!

Even though Five Axis and Pioneer top of the line did it similar to your set up, but in one of Five Axis interviews they say that they did it like that because of time and space!

Tell me that the CARROZERIA does some magic with this aiming set up!

I'm sorry for the huge picture here, but is on purpose so you can see the midrange and tweeters.

I don't like huge A-pillar pods. Looks goofy.
And I also don't like speakers in the A-pillars aimed at my face.
Too harsh. It is not preferable to have your face 2 feet away from the speakers.
The listening environment in a vehicle is too small. It is a challenge to overcome this obstacle.
The best listening environment would be a larger room, with acoustic dampening on the walls. The listener can be far away from the speakers, so the audio can blend together nicely.
You simply don't have this luxury when working with car audio, so you do whatever tricks you can to try and work with the small space you have.
( Which is no doubt why SQcomp is not aiming those A-pillar speakers straight at the listeners face. )

You can aim speakers at my face, if I am 15 feet away from them.
At 2-3 feet, I don't want them aimed at my face.

I always prefer car speakers mounted in the doors, but that's just me. I'm kinda simple like that.

The off-axis performance of those Legatia's is a win-win deal.

And the A-pillar pods you made look sweet.
I wouldn't be ashamed to have those in my Yaris.

( I can't wait to see them all finished and painted up. )

talnlnky · 06-07-2010, 09:48 PM

well, when talking about off-axis response, the smaller the speaker, generally the better the off-axis will be. Yet another reason why I chose a 3-way using a 4.5" driver for my mids.

HOly Frickin.......Shi........you know.....

Wow please post up pictures of how you are building the frames for those kicks as you go....

It was great to get the chance to see the system in person yesturday,the Apillars are incredable and once you find the timing on them the off axis is gonna sound incredable.

This makes me wish time woudl go a bit faster as I really want to start gettgin my system in the car,driving with no tunes does indeed suck....

bzinn 1 · 06-07-2010, 10:48 PM

Also what degree was it you said final placement was on the pillars 15 degrees,I will use that as a starting point on mine and see if it works with my comps as well,I doubt it will,I never have luck with anything the first time....lol
