those were supposed to be mine...grrrrr

 

the wars have begun

manny vs don

round 1
FIGHT!

 

Game over, I win

 

LoL this is true, me and Jeff were just having a good laugh over that.

BTW he said not to BP the rears, just let them roll off and the front...40Hz

 

yea, both cars exhibit ridiculous clarity and don's wasn't even fully tuned yet

 

lmao..ouch

 

Thats ok...I love my Morels, and they are not even broken in yet....hehe

 

X3....


10chars..

 

Looks like you have been bustin a$$ on your car. Looks awesome. How much did you have to cut the doors, if at all. I seem to remember being jelous of your last system, I have a feeling this will be a second.

 

So here's the question on my mind...why don't you start entering some SQ competitions? Your system is certainley above average!!!

 

Manny, Looks very very nice!! Congrats on the trophy and welcome to the 8" club!! LOL

Tony

 

I was second!!

 

Thanx Tony...Dont be so modest...you were actually first on a 5th gen as far as I know in a 3way setup, I'm the first on a 2way active...hehe...Don is just trying to get in on the action...hehe...but man what a difference it makes ! Stage is wider and fuller having those 8's up front...a whole another world...

 

Man, I'm getting really excited ... I still have lots of money on install products to spend before I'll be ready to start.

 

I'm so glad you're happy with the sound. I was toying around with the idea of eliminating my 3" mids and just using the 8s and the tweeters. The 8s are suitable for a 2-way setup according to Dynaudio. If I did this I would move the tweets up highter and get rid of the kick panels. Just a thought...nothing set in stone yet. I'm so happy with the way things sound I don't want to mess with a good thing, you know? Do you have your 8s high-passed, Manny?

Tony

 

Don, Can I trade my HEX in for some 8"

 

Actually I was leaning on the Dyn 170's myself- I was assured they have awesome topend. But something made me want to try those Morels-their basket and mounting depth was more appealing(i remember you having to use 3/4" and 1/2" mdf together for rings). I have mine bandpassed using HU and amp-63hz 18db slope (from HU) to 2500hz(12db slope) LOW PASS on the amp- and the tweets picking up at 2500hz 6db slope(to achieve a total 18db slope from mid transition to tweet- by ear I felt this was best) I still have some play, not done tuning yet-my tweets are capable down to 1200 hz if needed,more of a reason why I went 2way.

 

Just be careful you're not stressing the tweets too much ... they're seeing very low frequencies (for the usable range for tweets). Not sure what the exact usable range is on the rainbow's but 2500Hz is already low for most tweets.

Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know.

EDIT: I'm retarded. Just read the last sentence. The lower the tweet goes the more flexible it is and the better you can get it to blend with the mid ... nice setup ...

 

as long as someone got it

 

Manny, looking at your install, I disagree. You ARE that dedicated. I think our sedans would do fine. Honda Accords do well and there are plenty of Lexus's..SPL you have to hit a what...130 or 135 (gotta check my rulebook). With how clean your install is and how good it must sound, you are definately ready for a local IASCA comp...and who knows from there?

Read up on the idea of the rookie season. It is geared to give us recommendations to improve install, sound, and points. All about improvement and getting you to a point where you could then compete with the other more experienced folks....And look at the street section....You're not judged against the fiberglass gods and stuff, and your clean car will score well for install.

Supposedly it's a no hater crowd...not many kiddies there. I'm so excited to get started!

 

I guess I should jump in and say thanks for the props now as well

Manny is a Very good personal friend of mine and I did alot of the work on his car. So not thread jacking, just accepting a compliment too. Manny, you know how we do ....

 

Your welcome. Nice, clean work.

 

nice system dude.

i really wanted to go to that meet, but my car too far from ready.

 

You want a cookie?

I perhaps dont give Don enough credit...My life being a constant 'time restraint' between business and family, hobbies get limited windows with only
time to execute...Don has always been game for my projects with a lending hand....even on his weekends.







Besides he has ALL the tools.....

 

Tools give me a big woodie! I need an air compressor bad.....

 

Actually yes I want a cookie, Im starving over here. Wifey baking today?

You give me plenty of credit, I was just chiming in as I was bored and felt like posting last night...

I never have enough tools, although I went to Sear's "tent sale" yesterday and picked up more goodies

 

oh....the air conditioned garage might have something to do with it too

 

More goodies is always good!! Don, I still need to come out to you to get work done. Let me know when!!!

 

Manny...Im trying to get some people here to go to our ECA
Car Audio Meet on 7/24


convince them


I see Bboystevie is here as well...sup

 

sup

 

wheres the meet?

im 99% sure my system will be done by the 24th
