Have the amps, doors, dash panels, and emblems all are in paint...gotta drive the PT if I want my tails to get painted...

I've got some nice trick paint $hit coming our way as soon as I arrive back home.

Got to mention that mean while I'm working on the a-pillars for the tweeters I've gone tweeter less, and with some tuning sounds so good. Not as good like a full 3way system but not bad at all.

The image height is about sail panels and top of dash board, just amazing!

The sail panel width is nice. With certain tracks you have width out into the mirrors. The height is nice like Derick mentioned. If you play the mids to far in one direction (frequency) you get some bad localization. That can also be mitigated with the crossover adjustments (slopes and points). It's about the tune for amplitude and the imaging now...

What people have to remember is that a great tune doesn't happen in an hour. It takes some of these top competitors hundreds of hours in some cases to get it to their liking.

New MPG personal record:

45.33 MPG

I just found out that my ID amp has 2 gains, one for each side (Left and Right) Cool.

3 days Tweeter-Less and loving it, I do miss the Tweeter specially after moving it forward into into the metal under the a-pillar, got to make more time to get them back.

sickpuppy1 · 07-27-2012, 07:54 PM

I always kinda wished we had front plates here. Wanted to get ones that said 3M TA3 on it.

Ok, so I'm happy as a clown!

Left tweeter in new location, sounds phenomenal!

Left & Right tweeters in new locations... sounds like Heaven!

Best improvement ever after:

- Woofer up front

- Mids down in kick area

Stage is much larger BIG-BIG-BIG, in all directions Up-Down, Left-Right, but the best gain is Depth!

Center image is almost spot on (within 3"-4" circumference) further away from me, and in some tracks feels funny that it's outside the car.

In other words sounds like a much better system than 2 weeks ago.

Still need to work on the a-pillars!

But driving without them doesn't bother me, jeje

You saw this already D, but this is for the rest of the audio fans...

This is what you do with the annoying CD pocket...aside from losing change in the back...

As a designer and if it was for me, I would line it up the left knobs on the left side, but that's just me.

And would leave the right side to put my cell phone!

I was listening to the IASCA disk this morning, I remember the first few times I went through each track, and said: "boring songs... what's so special about it? and 2 or 3 tracks that would make my speakers in the doors "SHOCK" like crazy, never even realized what was going on on each track, even listening to the instructions made no sense to me, this CD was supposed to be a super disk for SQ music...

Now I realized everything that I was missing, it's a pleasure to go through each song and test track, feel and almost see every single detail, just by the fact that I don't listen to my speakers I just can't hear the speakers, the sound most of the time is coming from the windshield, like magic, like a ghost ; some times I get a little "WOW!" what was that? and I guess I'm a big fan of a phenomenon known as the “precedence effect” or Haas effect..

^ Here comes the history of musical recording! Quadrophonic stereo..."The QS matrix has been found to offer the advantages of excellent diagonal separation and stereo compatibility, and although the adjacent speaker separation is only 3 dB, this symmetrical distribution produces more stable quadraphonic images."

Thank you Sansui!

Some might be suprised that this level of quality has been around since the late 40's and then developed to a higher level in the 70's.

derickveliz2 · 08-05-2012, 11:41 PM

And comes with a Microwave on the top right LOL

I wish I could set up a home Hifi system at home. and time to enjoy it.
