jcboeckl,
The car was totaled and sold to some guy in GA by the insurance company. I got all the stereo stuff and most of it is in my new install.
I will not sell the Phoenix Gold amps b/c they are one of a kind and sound way awesome.
The XTANT prototype speakers have been sold, Crossover SOLD and the only thing left to sell is 2 15" IDQ's custom-painted midnight blue.
I value the SVR's over Optima. Why? they perform better, more Amp Hours for the size.
I learned about SVR's from dB'ers. dB cars where hitting higher dB's and using their batteries longer when they switched from Optima to SVR's for the same install.
A. Van,
I was in GR end of last year and early this year. Want be back unless Extreme does a show.
Tell Pablo what's up.
SVT Member,
I would switch the 5-1/4" with the 6-1/2".
I want more mid bass up front, so put the 6-1/2? up front. I would also get rid of the tweeter on the 5-1/4" in the rear and mount the 5-1/4? as far back and in the corner as possible. This sets you up for more reflections off the rear glass and you can tune for width, height and rear fill with the rear speakers. The Rockford amps should work fine.
My first IASCA show car was done with 6-1/2 in front doors and 5-1/4 in rear deck with a ESP-3 center Channel, so I think you have a great setup, with EQ to tune it, it would be awesome.
The 8"s only take up the dead pedal space. You have to get use to not have the space to rest your foot but its no biggy. Just make the girls take their shoes off (first base
.
Why no door speakers, B/C they sound like close up and the stage can be polarized (left right with weak center). The is why I used the ESP-3 center channel with my set up that was similar to what you want to do.
If you put 2 speakers on the other side of the room and the image is in between the 2, the farther you move back from the two speakers the farther the image is front of you, right. Same reason for the 8"s in the kick I want them as far away as I can get them. My tweeters are time delayed, so even from outside the car the image sounds like it is in the middle to the back of the hood, which is what I need for competing.
Also the 8?s play to 20 Hz so all the sound can come from in front of you. Although due to the 15? sub in the back, transfer function and the size of the car 30 to 20 Hz with be everywhere. At about 50 Hz I start get good stereo bass. This is where the subs are cut off in my new car. My old car had 32 Hz sub cut off and Stereo bass was a lot better in it. But this why 8?s are up front.
