Very Nice !!!

Sir, I'm just tryin to figure out why he thinks the rears are a great idea (in perfect conditions) ... and you think they are a bad idea (all together) ...

Since you all brought it up, who is correct here ?? Impious said that rears was a valuable addition to a stereo sound system. M5 said that rears are not beneficial ever IMO.

I even said this again here ...

Guys, this is all I wanted to know out of this thread ... Installation of a center channel in a truck/suv like mine ... why are you all making this so difficult ?? If it works, great !! if not, I never made /or going to make any changes to my stock dash (unless the experiment was a sucess) ...

I wish ... Very sorry I can't make it ... Best of luck to your friend !!!

Wish I could hear it ... and your home system ...

The gold painted speakers matched his gold painted hub caps !!! thats worth a ... ain't it ??

Want a real laugh, read the comments on his Youtube page under this vid !!!

OH MY GOD !!!

Was there a major price difference ??

identical ... nice.

I'm lost ...

Very cool setup bro ...

That is one bad ass looking ride !!!

I put this thread in SPL & SQ / Fabrication because this is the best place to ask for ON LINE installation suggestions ... Everyone calls DIYMA the best place for Sound Quality ... I say BULLSHIT ... you all agree ?? I only wanted to know if this installation task has been done before, if so, all suggestion would have helped tremendously ... and it has !!! If anybody wanted to know anything about a center channel in their vehicle, this thread has exceeded my expectations and explained ALOT of detail about Center channel applications (and the rear channel applications too) ... So sorry sir, I'm not sure where this came from ... please explain ... I'm 40 years old, I do not have the energy to throw a fit, I was only asking a installation question ... And I've looked back a good ways, I don't recall starting any threads like this ... Sorry to aggrivate you there bro ... but there is ALOT of good information on this thread ...

Awesome Idea ... I enjoy checking out your enclosures ...

I understand this sir ... The reason I went and got a test dummy dash ... I you have it in a IMAX theatre, why shouldn't it be in your vehicle ?? Wouldn't be the same if it was missing ... DO you sit in your truck to watch movies? Are you competing in the "best theater experience" class of "SQ" ocmpetitions? Nobody is saying you can not do it, and others have with success, but we get into the objective versus subjective debate yet again, like always and any time you bring judging and human ears into the equation, all objectivity goes out the window. If could afford the electronics to watch movies, yes I would ... Yes, I am in Super Modified Class in USACI and Modex class in MECA ... Yea, aparently SSA is saying it can't be done ... This is the game I want to play in, so just like any other game, I have to play by their rules ... just the way it is ... Nobody said it can't be done, and why do you always make these threads? You pose a question, then when you don't get the answer you want, you dance around everything and it always ends up with you twisting shit around. You're like a teenage girl who doesn't get her way and throws a fit. Here's a question for you; since you know guys who have "successfully" used rear speakers and center channels in their cars, why don't you ask them since they know what the fuck they are doing? OR better yet, why don't you ask the judges how to do it and what they want to hear. . . I only wanted to know if this type of install has been done ... clearly stated in my first post ... and yes, I make my rounds at EVERY Competition ... I talk to every SQ competitor I can and demo all their vehicles and especially the judges ... and actually, everyone has been very professional and curtious in this thread ... thank you guys !!!

I'm sorry bro, What Richard are we talking about ?? Clark ok bro, sorry ... according to http://www.usdaudio.com/sw/cars/ ... The Buick Grand National and the Acura Legend info does not say anything about processors and time alignment, just badd asss EQs and crossovers ... EQ and Crossover Rack The EQs and Crossover used in the Grand National were modified studio pieces. These rack mount pieces needed a custom rack made for them if they were going into the car. This is a picture of that rack. Two 30 band, 1/3 octave mono equalizers were located on the left side of the car. Next to them was an electronic crossover. And yes sir, I got the absolute pleasure to demo both cars ... EVERYONE in Car Audio should do it !!!

I'm sorry bro, What Richard are we talking about ??

So Todd Crowder, Mark Eldridge, Gary Biggs, guys like that do not use rears in their vehicles ?? Hmm ... OK thanks bro ... What about 2010 USACI WF Champions Johnny neal and Herman Smith ?? What about the Speakerworks Grand National you guys talk so highly of ... We all know there was rear drivers in that vehicle ... If you have it in a IMAX theatre, why shouldn't it be in your vehicle ?? Wouldn't be the same if it was missing ... Guess I'm in luck ... MECA and USACI judges seem to be really impressed with it ...

Without rears, how do you get the much needed rear ambience effect in the vehicle ?? It has to be there ... correct ??

I thought that if it goes in the dead front center of the dash, it was called a center channel ... please explain ... 2000 chevy trucks are fairly easier than late 90s ... the defroster vents are TOTALY different ... I wish you could drive up to the USACI Event in Jackson in August ... I could show you exactly what I'm wanting to do with this truck ...

Very nice !!!
