That looks really sweet. I like it.

sqcomp · 09-26-2012, 07:19 PM

That's work from Audio Xperts in California. Vince Miranda is the shop owner...known him to a couple years now. Great guy.

It's a two seat Ultimate class IIRC. Nice little xA from Vince.

sqcomp · 09-28-2012, 12:48 AM

Rebuild time!

The next pillar will be done tomorrow night. Then I take the night off on Saturday...Sunday is for sanding, and short hair. Monday is for finishing the pillars and readying for texture.

derickveliz2 · 09-28-2012, 12:56 AM

Awesome,

but mine will stay down in the kick area, physics tell me they belong there, I'm sure you and SB know some thing I don't know, of course I'm just an enthusiast and you guys are the Pros! Very interested how works for you, and all we know, this is the never ending story.

sqcomp · 09-28-2012, 01:14 AM

I lied...I just finished the longhair of the right side as well...

Lots of sanding to come.

Indeed! The never ending story!

AM - is it bad when I know this movie? I haven't seen it in years. Until now I had forgotten the names of the characters...

GAWD I'm old.

Sanding tonight. Talking with one of the best repair shops in the country about the P-01. They're having trouble finding the service manual for the "P" series decks (P-01 & P-99). I may be forced to send this back to my source in Japan. Funny...I type this sitting at a sushi bar just having finished some good Tako, Ebi & tempura...maybe I'm channeling some mojo.

^short hair worked. These things are SEXY! They're nice and heavy too. No resonance messing with the pillars. Perhaps I'm excited because I could plug them in right now and make things right...I need to get a filler coat on these then more sanding. Tomorrow night...

^First layer of primer. Here in a few, I'll go back into the garage and sand more. Oh yeah, there is two layers of filler that went under this that I didn't take pics of. I was to busy applying and sanding. You can see in that bottom picture that there's a high point in the filler just above the mid. I'll sand that down by hand and get any other pinhole blemishes. The I'll prime agian. After this priming, I'll get some texture and go from there.

Cleaning up around the garage...I finally found my backup battery keys to my alarm. This means I can disconnect the battery and take the airbag out so that I can replace the steering wheel with a leather wrapped Scion tC piece...In a week or two I'm thinking. I'll have the new processor in by then along with the backup source.

derickveliz2 · 09-30-2012, 11:17 PM

New aiming looks like each mid is looking at each other, is that right?

D.

sqcomp · 10-01-2012, 02:06 AM

They're at the same height but no, they're aimed about 15 degrees up from horizontal. This aiming gives me rock solid imaging and height. The tweeters in the pillars are good for width, height and worrying less about crossover points. The "blend" will be easier than with the tweeters separated as they were this year. I could have it sounding off tonight if I pleased but...I want absolute control before info this again...and with the P-01 acting all bejiggity, I'd rather not risk it.

I also put a couple layers of high build primer on the pillars as well. Lots of work gets done when I don't have a wife hanging around. The "to do" list becomes very basic and simple.

Edit: I got my paws on the service manual for the P-99RS...anyone who started this post that needs one in the future knows now where to get it and give it to a repair center if needed. My P-01 is going out the Pyramid Audio tomorrow morning. Within the month, I'll be back up working again.

Do you mean Tweeters in Sail Panels?

derickveliz2 · 10-01-2012, 11:20 PM

I just order another port system for my experiment with 2 i6SW's!

D.

sqcomp · 10-02-2012, 01:14 AM

Yes, I misspoke, the sail panels, not the pillars.

derickveliz2 · 10-02-2012, 01:48 AM

Some Left and Right EQ...

More tuning soon...

D.

sqcomp · 10-02-2012, 02:15 AM

I know this exercise...We don't center match in the mid and sub bass regions simply because at 175 Hz and below, the bass isn't localizing for the most part. I'd imagine this is going to change drastically when the mids are back on top. I have to make a mic jig and find a 3055 I can play with locally...

The sub however is down 9 dB

You can also see I had to pump up the output. My gains are pretty much off...I suppose I could change that though.

derickveliz2 · 10-02-2012, 09:09 AM

I enjoy doing several passes at different conditions for example....
parked with engine off, parked with engine in idle and then driving at about 70 mph.
