After that enclosure goes in, I'll be taking the long arduous steps of making panels, finishing the pillars and pods, and making the wiring all pretty. That will probably take a month. After that it's seat time. I can't wait to get this thing under the Auto EQ and Auto TA functions. I've got some massive glare in some upper frequencies. It's enough to make you cringe...even as off axis as I have those tweeters. Again, EQing and perhaps a dash mat will help that.

I can't imagine what these L1 Pro SEs would do on axis. I'd say just under the level of horn's abilities to make your ears bleed. There's just NO need for me to play them on axis, they've got GREAT sparkle at 45 degrees.

I've got a busy week. Testing for Yamhill County, interviews...

Good luck with the testing/interview process, I start next Tuesday.
I'm not surprised to hear you decided to go sealed, the tightness offered by sealing a midbass is awesome. I think there really are only two reasons why somebody shouldn't seal up a midbass...
1) The driver can't play the low stuff with much authority and needs the help of an IB enclosure
2) To make a sealed enclosure is just too much work in the given space/install.

You should also gain a bit of efficiency I'd think by going sealed, tho you will also get a slightly quicker rolloff (which doesn't matter cause you have a sub).

It's not going to look like this when you're done is it?

Just kidding, looks like quite the project though.

Just kidding.
It's looking really sweet. I can't wait to see how you finish the trunk.
( I had a feeling you were gonna polyfil that sub enclosure, cuz it looks kinda smallish to me, for that size sub )

Did you just remove the rear deck stock speakers to use as your cabin ports?
Or did you make a custom rear deck back there?

talnlnky · 07-06-2010, 02:52 AM

I hope you deadened the fuck out of that rear deck.

If you got a great SQ sub with no harmonic distortion, and no resonating panels in your car you can't.... but how many people can say that?

The top is almost untouched. The bottom is a different story. A layer or two of roadkill and some 1/2" Dynaliner around the OEM speaker mounts. I'll have to reserve my judgement until all the interior is back in...still, it seems like it's all about cabin gain for me. The gain is as low as I can have it, it's not overwhelming at all. That being said, the bass is authoritative and clean. I'll be performing the auto EQ and TA this week. I've had to dial down the midbass. That's pretty much about it. We'll see what an RTA says.

DIAL DOWN MIDBASS... what a sin... how bout EQing in a 10dB boost at 100hz? hehe.

I look forward to it.

EDIT: Tell scott to put binding posts on those speakers... I hate quick connect terminals. Give me the cool binding post terminals that use a hex screw.

My favorite systems are 4-way systems.

Are you going to track down and kill that external rattle?
Would that effect your performance in a competition, or do the judges only judge the sound INSIDE the vehicle?

Just curious.
