I'm trying to catch up to you D! I'm at 94K...

I see you are into PPI now. I was looking at these the other day:

My `08 is almost at 12k now. Got some Castrol GTX and a oem oil/air filter for it when it gets there!

As much as I like those PPI 3-way components... i'm just not at all enthused about pulling panels again and doing a bunch of rewiring.
I would need an amp to push them, so I would need to buy a 2-channel amp, and then relocate my sub amp to the rear.

Everytime I think about upgrading, I just go for a drive and decide I like it the way it is.

^ These are very good looking speakers.

Do you work for SonicElectronix?

sqcomp · 03-23-2013, 11:49 PM

I'm wary of the PPI components. The thing for me is that I know that I can make them sound good regardless. I was going to go with some Audison speakers but PPI is writing code for their new processor. Since I've competed with processors, they're looking for input.

What does that have to do with the three way speakers? If I go all PPI, it greased the proverbial skids between me, the shop, the programmer and PPI.

In essence I'll be beta testing the PPI processor.

I'm trying to cover the a-pillars with the same material as my Dash-Mat...

Looks bad... the foam was folded and you can tell where the material has marks of each fold, I guess they will go away with time or with some heat.

My point is not to look stock or fancy (Pretty) this material has 3 layers, the middle one is Foam, and I'm just trying to minimize all reflective surfaces, too bad I can't put it over the windshield and windows.

It's that first square sample on the Left:

Do you want to drive with the covering?

How about creating window covers out of foam? Something you can put in place when doing demos...

...I suggest this because, well, I've done it before. I know how it changes the sound. And yes, it literally changes the sound because it absorbs certain frequencies and reflections. It ended up making the car into a mini anechoic chamber.

Not really, I think I would like to keep it driveable, as awkward as it sounds I still tune for the road, I know I would like to enter in a competition some day to see where my system stands out compare to professionals and high end systems. I guess I'm going to have to tweak my tuning for that, but I feel comfortable doing that for the competition.

For demos... the foam covers on the windows, I would love to do that but with transparent foam that I guess doesn't exist.
