I'm more interested in the equalization more than the time alignment anyway. There was a huge difference between your system and mine, seeing as mine had that processor on it. The messed up thing is that every brand does their time alignment different it seems. You'll see where I go when I get the P01 repaired... And what ever processor I put in there.

I just had an offer from one of the Arc dealers and I'm still comparing with the Zapco dealer as well on the processors. We just have to see what happens after the P01 gets back from repair.

Yes, equalization had a much bigger impact than Time alignment for the...

WOW Factor!

Yes every brand does it different, took me a while to understand each method and assuming milliseconds against inches, but at some point TA had to be the same function.

How come I never get offers?

I should market more aggressive

LOL

Mmm...there are probably several reasons why no offers.

They aren't because you're not a nice guy. The biggest reason is that these manufacturers have seen my face at CES for several years now. I suppose you could say I'm known in the industry. All of this is based on my appearances at CES really. Networking man, networking! Heck, You know that Arc audio piece the PS8? I have that in my hands last year. I saw how it worked in the demo vehicle. I saw its physical size without it's "big shroud" and yeah... I mean I had the attention of one of the players at Arc audio even though I'm not running any Arc audio gear. All of this just by attending CES and spending a few minutes talking to people and the little fact that I can cook and I was able to give people food when they were really hungry. Time and place mang...time and place.

Not only the CES factor but those people know me and they see how I support the brick-and-mortar stores. I've also been responsible for making IASCA a factor here in the Northwest again.

It's terrible but it seems like I'm playing my own trumpet here but really I'm not. It's just several factors I mentioned plus there some other factors aside from what I mentioned before. The thing is Derick, you could do the same thing.

All it is is simply time invested into the industry & face time with networking. It all started 12 years ago when I decided to work for a few months at a high end stereo shop. That's where I met Jim before he owned his first shop. That snowballed into appearances at CES and INAC finals.

Yes I know what you mean, before rediscovering my passion for car audio, and been single I was in the R/C airplane world. And I got to know lots of people and companies giving me all kind of goodies for the hobby.

Interesting development...

I'm working on a deal for a Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar. That should go nicely with the pro kit drop...

D, do you have sway bars on yours? If so, what is your impression?

Rear Sway Bar!

100% HAPPY!!!

No sway bar?... It's like a SQ system without Time/Alignment,

Improves:

-Cornering like crazy,
-Highway stability x 10
-Cross winds not an issue any more at highway speeds

sqcomp · 10-05-2012, 05:22 PM

I'm glad to hear that. I'm looking at buying the lock clamps for the sway bar as well just for the heck of it.

I absolutely love cornering in any vehicle I'm in. If it can't handle, I don't want to drive it. The last couch I drove was a Dodge Challenger. BLECH! That thing was a brick.

You would be surprised on what a Yaris can do with minor suspension upgrades!

I missed the 100k turn on your thread...dang it!

...The stereo lands in Austin Texas for repair on Monday...

I'm like a nervous dad waiting for his first kid here.

derickveliz2 · 10-06-2012, 01:17 AM

...

I gave a demo to a friend today, he used to play in a band...

He's comments:

1.- Great Bass! no rattles, no distortion, I like it.
2.- Sounds like "real"

It was dark, and I turned the dome light switch off so he couldn't see the speakers, he though I had speakers all over the dashboard!

Hey D,

You want me to throw some pics of some of the SQ vehicles from INAC up here?

It turns out after this weekend, HAT has accumulated 140 championships in 6 years over the three major organizations. Seems like you're in good company, eh? :)
