thought Philips sold all of its car-audio activities to Clarion many years ago ...they started again ?...back in the 80's and early 90's phillips HU's were pretty good ... but I doubt they aim at the same market as back then ... I also feel it would be a good move to offer something exotic too... besides the obvious *edit* I googled philips car audio ..doesnt impress me

damn , I'd work my butt off getting that extra 2 tenths ! sooooo close ...

tweets do look nice but they fall pretty hard 10-15k range... Not sure how much that would matter though.... and they are $165 a pop.... *** unless directly on-axis ... I wouldn't worry too much about that. I'm gonna assume your response it to the frequency comment... completely on-axis will give bad reflexions from the left door window ...possibly very annoying ...I'd point a bit more to the middle would also benefit sound on passenger side

Hence them being in the photography section I really didn't expect any interest so my original plan was simply to do this to encourage myself to shoot. Since I've gotten interest I've been trying to post more. Just for you, I'll have something up by Friday. Check back for it SWEET ... I might get a new background on my PC then !!

you really need to put the wire in better , those loose strands are a hazard !

change topic to FrostedFlakeJake's 3 Picture's a Day I like em ... but they lack caraudio equipment 12 inch by sunset , 18 inch by sunrise ... woofer landscape , river of amps stuff like that LOL

you're actually going to add lead to the doors ? lead is about 6 times as heavy as those cld tiles ... some heavy doors you'll get .... just read an article ... these audax 1,5 inch tweeters need modding but seems to be a good option article

@ the enD , those scanspeaks R3004/602010 should be usable from 1,1khz with a 24db slope

Not going to help. You will need time alignment for the midbass at minimum for proper imaging, assuming that's your goal with the SQ install. We localize midbass by time arrival difference between our two ears, you can't fix that with level adjustments. I'm not a fan of the idea of "full range" drivers used on the top-end of a 2way. There are advantages in how low the driver will play compared to a large format tweeter, but IMO the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. IMO large format tweeter is a better option. I'll be looking for a processor, if I can't figure a way out with the carputer. What tweeters would you recommend? I don't have a set price range, but try to keep it reasonable. would also like to know ... looking @ scanspeak R3004/602010 but not sure yet ....

I've had a buch of bass installs , never payed much attention EQíng the front stage because the bass was simply to loud to notice the flaws the frontstage had Now I want to attempt to get a frontstage that is more than decent , no SQ comps , just for my enjoyment I want have it really good . A good part of a system is EQing the system to get the staging tonal balance just right , but with what music or reference tracks best to do that with ? reason I'm asking is because I keep turning on knobs cause I can't find "it" what I'm looking for with the music I'm familiar with .. there must be some stuff that can get you close in "steps" followed in a logical order

You think the painkiller song is hollow in the midbass range? Typically I have pretty good luck with clean midbass freq's without so much sub bass from most any Judist Priest song. I don't have any experience with those tweeters so i can't comment on that. I imagine there is probly a few cheaper options also but don't have any suggestions. Good luck Brother. I meant its sounds like I'm an near empty room with concrete walls ... the drumsolo is amazing , just makes me wonder where they recorded that song

what comps are you looking for , daily and comp both might not be within reach they often require different portarea and boxvolume and indeed as stated above; given power wil dictate those to a certain level

that might be not on my account ... not really active , I mean I look at whats been posted on SSA every day ....I just don't post that much ..

the info is in the manual but thanx !! list looks good ! We talked about judas priest - painkiller ... the 2 versions I got on my stereo sound kind of hollow ... are all versions like that ? for upgrading my front I'm thinkin about a tweeter that can be crossed really low (preferably 1 / 1.2 , at the most 1.4 Khz) would the Scanspeak R3004 series be able to do that ... all given values are given with an 2nd order butterworth @ 2.5 khz eventhough their Fs is below 600 , I also would love to try a ringradiator from that series ! all this to get some of that wideband speaker sound back without sacrificing in the highs , I dont have a lot of room because of airbags , so therefore a tweeter that has got its own backchamber and I don't have to build a large pod and placement will be better .... any good ideas ? would like to keep it under 350 bucks

congrats to all !!

glad that in the end it all worked out ! hope it sounds good too !

respect for that .. very very cool !!

can we stop telling him that it looks nice n clean (which it is ! ) and leave some more room for new pics ... more pics, less chat !! thanx it really looks good though

you should really considder seriously rounding of those ends . I was wondering if this is going to be a box for comps because port is rather large , take airspeed up to 24m/s in port so the port can be a lot smaller and thus shorter , safe/efficiciennt enough for daily that box is only 0,75 thick all round ? I'd up it to at least 1inch and brace it well with rods end correction was used . I'm off very seldom , and when it happens usually the builder did something wrong , I'm no genius though .

box looks nice , I'd personally not put that woofer that close to the portbeginning ...put it a little more to the middle of the box

I'm at 32.92 Hz with that calc (in bassbox pro6) , so port needs to be a tad longer , with the same internal volume you need a 42,77 inch long port including flares could help a bit more but need thickness of walls

Thanx Impious , but that was one one the first things I looked for ... J. roadtatts found them back for me actually a couple of days ago And also thanx to Edouble101 , that SQ subsection on DIYMA Is great , I've spend a few hours there reading yesterday and It is full of usefull info ! It helped me find the most anoying peak and biggest dip in the response this morning i wasnt able to locate... sounds a lot better now ! come to think of it my last car was soooo much easier to equalize ... must have been the 3inch mids in cabinets that made it so damn easy

5 band parametric,level up to +6/-6 ,not L/R independant or graphic 7 band , x-over L/R independant , TA 0 to 360 centimeters (about 4 yards) per driver , stock placement for the speakers high up in the door for tweeters and midbass far low corner of the door ... active , not really looking for a new place to put the tweeters because I want a stock look and I dont want to mess with the airbags on the sides of the windshield , got some work to do on the doors but its come a long way looking into buying the RTA set from Termlab as I already have a termlab and RTA software ... but no at this point not available great I'll look into that . but guys the question really was for some great tunes to tune the setup !! what to look for ?? mailed an aquentance of mine , national champion a few times over and he'd give me some of his CD's so I'm probably set

TA , parametric EQ , level per speaker ...........all needed to get a relatively flat response and good staging (at the same time).

Why wait ? the more you flex it the sooner it gets broken in welcome
