@ sick...

I'm not so sure that we'll have much of an effect that far off axis.

@ Derick...

Go to Toyotapartszone and get another pair of a-pillars. It's a just in case thing. I'm off to do my Army drill thing for the next two weeks and that pillar thing is one of the first things I need to do when I get back...seeing where my tweeters are now.

I saw a picture showing your tweeters in the sail panels! I was going to go that way too.

But now I can't wait for some extra time and cut the right side and move right tweeter there, the stage is impressive to me, and sweets my taste for Front Stage better than before.

Good luck in the next 2 weeks! Will be hovering around here!

Have the amps, doors, dash panels, and emblems all are in paint...gotta drive the PT if I want my tails to get painted...

I've got some nice trick paint $hit coming our way as soon as I arrive back home.

Got to mention that mean while I'm working on the a-pillars for the tweeters I've gone tweeter less, and with some tuning sounds so good. Not as good like a full 3way system but not bad at all.

The image height is about sail panels and top of dash board, just amazing!

The sail panel width is nice. With certain tracks you have width out into the mirrors. The height is nice like Derick mentioned. If you play the mids to far in one direction (frequency) you get some bad localization. That can also be mitigated with the crossover adjustments (slopes and points). It's about the tune for amplitude and the imaging now...

What people have to remember is that a great tune doesn't happen in an hour. It takes some of these top competitors hundreds of hours in some cases to get it to their liking.

New MPG personal record:

45.33 MPG

I just found out that my ID amp has 2 gains, one for each side (Left and Right) Cool.

derickveliz2 · 07-26-2012, 10:51 AM

3 days Tweeter-Less and loving it, I do miss the Tweeter specially after moving it forward into into the metal under the a-pillar, got to make more time to get them back.

derickveliz2 · 07-27-2012, 05:02 PM

Today's shot!

Thats a weird exhaust pipe you have going up the back!!!???
LOL, good looking car! I love my Mediterranean mica sedan too!

sickpuppy1 · 07-27-2012, 07:54 PM

I always kinda wished we had front plates here. Wanted to get ones that said 3M TA3 on it.
(pretend you the person in front of you,look at it in the mirror)

Ok, so I'm happy as a clown!

Left tweeter in new location, sounds phenomenal!

Left & Right tweeters in new locations... sounds like Heaven!

Best improvement ever after:

- Woofer up front

- Mids down in kick area

Stage is much larger BIG-BIG-BIG, in all directions Up-Down, Left-Right, but the best gain is Depth!

Center image is almost spot on (within 3"-4" circumference) further away from me, and in some tracks feels funny that it's outside the car.

In other words sounds like a much better system than 2 weeks ago.

Still need to work on the a-pillars!

But driving without them doesn't bother me, jeje

You saw this already D, but this is for the rest of the audio fans...

This is what you do with the annoying CD pocket...aside from losing change in the back...

As a designer and if it was for me, I would line it up the left knobs on the left side, but that's just me.
