Thats the beauty of DLS tweets, super warm, ideal for on-axis.

Looks pretty dang good.. hope it sounds it

 

Dude, that looks sick. I like it a lot. I am sure they wil sound fine.

 

That ish looks f@#$in nice! Wish I could sport 'em. Great looking and hopefully sounding install!!

 

So I am watching X games right now. Have never watched it before. I just happened to turn it on when they were running rally. Sick addition to the program to be honest. Anyone else watch this?

 

X games started in RI

 

Nice.I had n idea. Rally is starting again. Quarter finals.

 

NIce install...definatly like those 8's in the kicks...I guess the 5th gens don't have as much room in the doors as 4th gens?

 

yeah, like parag said these tweet sounds damn good...very warm and smooth even installed on axis. the woofers definately need some break in time, the suspension was pretty stiff out of the box. i think it'll sound better once everything is loosened up. even so, they pump out some nice bass. i have it crossed at 55 hz at the moment.

that said...there is definately something funky going on with the midrange placed off-axis in the doors. there's a wierd resonance in certain frequencies. in some songs it's not noticeable, more so in others. more than likely i'll move the mid somewhere else. as to where...not sure yet. i'm gonna give mister don another call soon.

 

Muahahahhahaa FAIL.

 

Really?

 

so there's this stupid storm that's forming and gaining strength in the gulf. it's suppose to hit us dead on around tuesday. we really do need the rain but i hope it doesn't get too strong of a storm.

 

Woo Hoo, maybe a tornado will hit your car and put the drivers in the right places.

 

my old max got flooded out during Tropical Storm Allison. that wasn't fun.

 

I was just hoping for good things, not bad.

 

ah how thoughtful of you kind sir.

does the midrange HAVE to be on axis? i talked to the installer about what we discussed on friday over the phone. he said yeah it CAN be an issue and something about it happened to his car in past installs but in his current car it's not a problem. then he said it's sometimes vehicle dependant.

he ran dyns in his old ride and didn't like them....said they were "laid back". makes me question him even more now...

 

No, actually perform better opff axis. But in your case PLD and the door cavity are what are hurting you the most.

Which shop is this? Is he an idiot? Laid back? Yes a bit, but he certainly sounds like a newb nonetheless, especially if he is saying DLS is more forward than the Dyns ...

 

stereo-efx. lotta workers there but there's two main installers. one that's more for show stuff and one more for functional side of things.

i'll give you a call in the morning if ya don't mind.

 

Ugh those guys? Theyre the transhippers, no?

Sure, no problem.

 

Ok, tires got put on today. Nitto 555 235/40/18's:



They don't look as bulky to me anymore. Not perfect but they will do. I have owned these tires before and liked them. All of my road noise is gone. Now to get new rotors and get ride of this damn shake under braking.

Oh yeah, one more thing. They put this uber slick tire shine on the tire. I hate it. It may look good, but your can tell it is on there when taking corners. I can't wait for it to wear off.

 

Looks nice man!

LOL at dyns being more laid back than DLS.....

 

Thanks. I can't wait to graduate and get something else. Although it is a great car, I am ready to move on.

 

Well guys, thought I'd show-off my my cheap components ...and of course a few other goodies. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I'll have a full build-log thread started. I'm gonna be trying out 2 different sub stages, to decide what I like better (both of off a SX 1250.1)

Here they are...Rainbow X-lines w/ 8" midbass. They will be powered by a Kicker SX 400.2





These things are super thin, and light as a feather...

 

Here's the sub choices...

(2) 12" RE SE's...'05-'06 models when they were made in the USA w/ USA coils...these have never seen power

(1) 15" Adire Audio Tumult D2...this has also never seen power, should be interesting being my 1st 15"...and having it tuned around 28hz

 

Mmmm nice stuff you got there.

 

Sexcellent X-Plains !

 

Thanks to you Don...

BTW...thanks for the speaker rings. I can't wait to get everything installed. I need to order some more deadener. I thought the bulk pack was gonna be enough since I had some from before, but I think I'd rather have more than run out half way through.

 

If you decide not to run the 15 let me know

 

I'll let you know. The guy that's building my enclosures for me is VERY interested in it also.

 

well the storm hit east of here after shifting directions early this morning. so nothing too bad, just lots of rain and a bit of wind.

 

Hurricanes are fun...we definatly need the rain in NC, so I would be happy to see one. Was it even a CAT 1?

 

well originally it was forecasted to reach cat 1, but it never did. it came in as a strong tropical storm. the entire area is getting some much needed rain. it's been raining in my area nonstop since 6AM or so.

 

All that worrying for nothin.

 

nice subs 96maxgle

 

Thx man...

 

So I just finished my last final for Summer. It was in Data Analysis. Whipped my butt. But it is over for a couple of weeks. MF'n Woot!

 

fall semester is just around the corner for me:

 

Me too, just finished my last class yesterday. Didn't have to go to class, but had to submit our final term paper by midnight. Started it about 6pm, uploaded it about 11:30.

Got a month off until fall starts, then its another 9 credits, WHILE working full-time.

 

Same here I think I have 20 days till Fall. What classes are you taking?

 

Nicely done!

There is no way I would be successfull if I worked full time. I have 9 classes total to graduate. No chance I am working though. Lots of pre planning made that an option though.

 

I barely finished school working part time. Definitely get props doing it full time. Nice little break, well deserved.
