The accent would have been sick, but what can ya do? Ya the paint is terrible, but its MUCH better than it was before. After the gloss fades it'll look much better... just dark and unremarkable. Right now its glossy shiny and bright, it wont after a few weeks.

later today I do REW sweeps to see how much the paint changes HF diffraction and LF absorbtion and lowering resonance by adding mass

another hot day getn more done with my daughter Heather

I like your Avatar!

I havent decided if I wanted to lay some regular porcealin tyle or acoustic ceiling tile yet :-P hehe

Oh it does for sure! I couldn't have afforded to drive that thing, let alone insurance!

Whats up RLP! Thanks man, this post's for you! Of course when I record a movie with the camera it seems like what you would fear in car-audio...camera sounds terrible, rest assured it sounds wicked in person even without the subs! Loved those final pics so much, hated the other pics that made it look bad, had to quote myself :-P

That is all I am after T-DOG! A little acceptance. I don't want everyone else to stop doin how they do and do what I do, cuz then I'd just be like everyone else. I just want to be a bit different, mix it up a little, keep a little diversity! Thank you! Thos 1st pics didnt turn out, went and took 2 more after pics, much better! Made 2 vids of HULK too, 1 short 1 long.

When I was initially doing the build with the same equipment, it was in a Hyundai Accent... i completely removed the dash and put them in there staged, aimed, all that jazz... but the motor blew and some other things so I scrapped it. Since I out them over head, I faced them strait down, to be honest... I'd assume it doesn't sound the same as a "normal" setup thats aimed and staged, but it's not like it sounds like it comes from the roof any more than kicks sound like they come from the road, and doiors from the sides and below... everyone else puts them down and to the sides where I think the human body, seats, and in my case the floor boards block the bottom of the doors.... but they face them up to compensate, i faced mine down, and I think unless you are dead set on SQ location/orientation, it may even be better to some... it is right there, no obstructions.

Ive met a lot of smart people on this forum that despite their intelligence, they are pretty fuckin stupid. Ive also met a lot of not so smart people on this forum that are flat out retarded. Met some pretty cool people here too, and even a few that are... well, smart and not stupid? help me get a bad rating.

-9 a few mistakes :-P

-3, still neautral, but thank you!

going from a +2 in green to a -2 in red didn't change me from neutral... I am still neautral... just a few more, please! Thank you! KW

yup, the shit's still in the ceiling and it's gonna stay there. if you need to hear the drummer strait ahead and back 7 feet, the back up singer come 3 feet deep from 7 feet from your right, lead guitar and vocalist strait ahead yadda yadda... if you're all about staging, imaging, using time delay, phase, and EQ.... GOOD FOR YOU! I like it loud and clear. it is loud and clear. I like a ton of midbass and a ton of high treble and easy on the low treble and easy on the midrange. So this thing has come a long way, I now have: Alpine IVA-W505 touch screen DVD player so that I can use the touch screen to control the digital Alpine PXA-H701 crossover/processor. I have (2) Kicker KX850.4s bridged on (4) Adire Audio Extremis 6.4s with XBL^2, neo, aluminum/copper shorting rings with the Alpine HP 100Hz 24dB/oct.... I can run these things down to 35Hz easily, but with 1.7kW on tap for the midbasses alone, for as loud as I have them, even crossed at 100Hz I still get more content below 80Hz than most people have. I have the Kicker Crossovers all the waydown at 50Hz 12dB/oct.... 1 octave below the Alpine... for a touch more filtering and for protection... a couple times I have hit a wrong button resetting the EQ completely and had the battery situation which reset theAlpine as well...if it wasn't for the Kicker crossovers I'd have blown all 10 drivers instantly at high volume. LP set to 560Hz 24dB/oct. (1) Kicker KX650.4 bridged on (2) CSS FR125S 4.5" full range XBL^2 copper/aluminum shorting rings copper phase plugs 560Hz 24dB HP Alpine 200Hz 12dB Kicker for protection from resetting the Alpine 5kHz 24dB LP (1) Kicker SX500/2 on (4) Vifa XT25TG30 1" Ring Radiator tweets 16kHz 6dB/oct slope Alpine so that the high end is louder and the lower end is quieter, the way I like it, then the Kicker SX crossover set to 5kHz 24dB/oct, Alpine LP 20kHz 6dB/oct just in case, not that there should be much above 17-18kHz ever getting sent out from the HU.

here is my last post on my HT threads... gives a little bit more info than the above post maybe. I haven't updated this thread in a while, I haven't messed with the HT in about 3 weeks because I am finally satisfied! I took the BFD out..NO EQ! I set the receiver crossover to 40Hz.. :-O ... and I LIKE it! I know, call me crazy, I am! from 30Hz down I have 120dB, when i hit 10Hz I still can't keep the room pressurized..but it's still 115dB down to 5Hz! I am well below reference above 30Hz, but this is how I like it...finally! I kept trying to boost 63Hz and 80Hz to make it more active, otherwise the subs are invisible most of the time until low heavy passages come up. I wanted to hear the depth in voices through the subs. But every time I tried, or bumped the crossover up to 60Hz and 80Hz, I just hated it! So Here I sit, odd ball that I am. Also, with the EQ, I learned that it is more the 90Hz-150Hz range that I hate so much, not so much 45Hz...as you can see with that giant hole that happens to be there with the walmart cubes falling off and subs falling off. How lucky am I that it just happens like that? Still love Prison Break... that show is FILLED with single digit ULF, in my house when it's 15-30dB above everything else, it's great. You feel a lot more than you hear. I suppose with a normal setup you wouldn't even know the ULF was even there.

If you were ever in the area I'd be glad to The HT is actually unimpressive except for 30Hz on down... I have tiny cheap walmart in the box cubes for 7 discrete channels of HD audio... they work for me. If I had more $$ I would get CSS FR125SR/quasi tweeter/tweeter/port kits with the XBL^2 4.5s like I have in the van with the tweeter to brighten up the high end. I would be more than happy but still couldn't hit reference 110dB, but I listen with the mains around 65dB anyway. My FR for the house is as odd as in my van: Mains should be 100db or 110dB, I forget which, then plus 5dB or plus 15dB for LFE. I have 100dB starting at LFE ( 80Hz ) but 120dB ( 5 to 15dB above reference ) from 30Hz down to 10Hz, I can't keep my room pressurized enough once I hit 10Hz...always has fallen off there...but still 115dB reference to 5Hz, that all alone is amazing, and what I love so damn much! I wish you could experience 5Hz-15Hz like you do here, most movies are inactive for the most part...it's not loud boomy and full of action...for the most part you feel more than you hear...but when it gets oud and low... hold on!

keep it comin guys! I am at -2 and in the RED! Thank you! KW

Cable, I am so anxious and excited to bring them to a comp! I am glad I haven't yet, almost made Wheel Jam in Huron back in May... but if I had, it was a whole different thing back then. I have since changed my crossover points and slopes and it's a whole new, better beast I am scared to death though, my crossovers are still very out of the norm, but even more so driver location. Ceiling? "Attention employees: We need a clean up on isle 5. Clean up on isle 5. Thank you!. CLICK." I don't do time delay or speaker distance, don't EQ, no phase shifting: I picked the flattest drivers I could find at the time, the cheapest good amps, changed the crossover and amps since then... and let the vehicle wreack its havoc. let the vehicle do what it does. I run REW, I tweak crossover slopes and gain to get as close to my desired FR responce...which is another trouble i would have if I comp: I am not after "flat", +/-3dB from 30Hz-20kHz. I hit over 130dB with the midbass, but the mid range is down 10-20dB cuz I hate midrange, and the tweets are up 5-10dB from the midrange but not as loud as the midbass. When the subs are in, they are another 10-20dB up from the midbass, so 20-40dB from midrange. That's just LUDACRIS! :-P but I like it!

Just dishin it back. Numerous years of getting told by the smart guys with attitude that they are rude, mean, and critical for a reason. They aren't here to be nice, they are here to keep people from misleading members. So the straw that broke this camels back was when I got to be the smart asshole that said something was wrong. Suddenly my rep dropped and dropped. Yup, I am crying, whining, complaining, sayin a bunch of you are hypocrites and a bunch of you bend the rules to suit you and make you look good and then flip them when you need them to work the other way. Basically, so many tards, like the last few posters, that make some people not really give a shit... so strait up fun time. Just havin some fun.

Having your ULF 20dB above the audible portion of your LFE makes for a whole different experience... during a horror film, very creepy!

since all the kiddies think flex is good, a vid of my decent flex before more bracing, more framing, another wall, and more foam

HT is where it really gets fun. You get into HT forums, start using programs like REW and Audyssey, start really learning things when trying to flatten things out!

alright, no one is impressed with sub-30Hz material flexing a reinforced van roof, though it is much much harder to flex below 30Hz then above...and much harder to flex with all the reinforcements I had at that time... But no one has ever, EVER made a house ceiling flex at 5Hz like this

Ah-HAH! I am onto you guys! You guys are just gonna be really really cool, therefore making me eat my own words! Sneaky bastards! :-P As alwasy, thank you Cabl!

Frosted, you're a cool shit... you're no flake!
