Awesome!

How/where are you aiming the mids and tweeters?

Is your HU friendly user? is it easy to go through the menus?

good job!

Why do I read in a bunch of forums that you aim the left speaker to pilots left ear and right speaker to pilots right ear, and others suggest to aim at the center kind of symmetrical???.. .

Sorry for my naive questions

That is a great question.......one I have been researching my self and really dont understand the answers I am reading,also trying to learn the timing of the speakers,that part has me lost.....I am gonna figure it out though

Love the Hertz sub......great sound out of them.......If you get bored with those ID8s let me know.....I love how the ID8s sound for filler,thinking about using a set myself.

What's your approach?

are you doing everything trail and error?

I though I saw ID8s in the back ground of a picture and figured you were using them.....L8s also very nice.

"Aiming" and "Time Alignment" is tricky because of how the sound waves bounce around in the vehicle.

( All vehicles are different. )

Some vehicles are easier to tweak than others.

AND.... where do you want your "sweet spot" to be?
You aim for the "sweet spot" to be "anywhere" in the vehicle, but it never works out that way.

Some "sweet spots" are outside the car.... with the doors open.... 5 feet away.

Hey SQcomp....

So what is the deal with your fancy expensive tweeters?
You don't like how they sound? Are they too harsh?
Are they silk dome?
You having trouble aligning them to hit your sweet spot?

( or do they just plain sound "bad" ? )

I'll leave it at this, I *may* be replacing the Legatia tweeters temporarily until I can get some replacements...of which I have several options from the shop. I think I'm going to realistically be using the ID XS-28. I want to use the MD-100 but I don't want to buy an entire component set from the shop owner to do so. I was looking at using the Hertz Mille big chamber 1 1/8" tweeters...but not at what they're asking for a pair (even at my cost). The Thesis tweeters are twice as expensive as the Mille tweets...that's a no go for my budget right now.

the biggest thing that seperates expensive fancy tweeters from medium ok tweeters is how low they can play. With that said, you could grab two tweets off partsexpress for $40 after shipping and get good results since your tweets will only be playing less than 1 octave of range.

So I am guessing SQcomp is trying to tune the blend between the tweets and the mids? ( and he is not liking the results he is getting )

This has probably been mentioned, but exactly WHAT is the crossover points between the tweets and mids? Are you "blending", or are you "seperating"?

And why would you want to force the tweets to play lower?
Wouldn't you just let the midrange drivers handle those freqs?

I might know a little about how "audio" works, but I am obviously not experienced with tuning a high-end competition system.
So I ask these questions just to build on my own limited knowledge.
