I found this in a Robb Report magazine:







The Mid-range drivers HL-70 from Hertz are beautiful made in Italy

We'll hear how they sound when you get them fired up pertaining to the stage width issue.

Also, those mounting holes for the speakers, you can use thread-serts in there as well so you don't chew up the baffle when you take the speakers in and out.

From DIYMA.com

STAGE WIDTH :
Stage Width refers to the distance between the left and right boundaries of the sound stage. Good systems will create a wide sound stage. Excellent sound systems will have sound stages that appear to surpass the physical boundaries of the vehicle interior.

How the spheres would subtract stage width? in one of the threads a few weeks ago, you told me: "go for the spheres!"


I realize that the distance between drivers it's smaller if using the spheres, that is why I wanted to have them in front of the "sail panels" remember my first attempt; because I wanted the drivers as far away from each other, even I asked what was better if having them further from listener or a little closer but farther apart from each driver... for convenience I decided to go this way, I like the look but also keeping them separated from the A-pillars structure keeping me away from trouble that the joins between the baffle and the A-pillar would "Crack".



I see a lot of Team Hybrids and others installations have the drivers aiming very similar to what I wil have, do they have the same stage width issues?

Here a few installations!





















I agree 100% I'm going to use thread-serts to hold the drivers. "very clever"

Thanks

Don't ask me, ask my wife, she went nuts one day when she went down stairs and found all the interior panels and seats all over the place!


she asked me, if I was going to be able to put it back together, I just smile at her.

Thanks

The 1st and 4th pictures are of Jim Becker's old and newer setups. The answer to your question of stage width will be answered by the front end setup track. Run that track through and listen to see if the sound extends beyond the boundaries of the pillars.

You also notice that those pods are MASSIVE! You guys thought mine were big. My pillars are made to highlight imaging and soundstage accuracy.

As for construction details, I understand what and why you're doing it. I'm on your side. I may have done this approach a little differently, but it's not my setup. Make it happen, don't think I'm trying to shoot you down.

Thanks,
It's a learning process and it's just like raising my hand when I don't understand something but besides telling it would have an issue I would like to know why? so we all can learn from the Pros! like you!

I'm going to try and come up with a solution to compensate the stage width by putting the tweeters in front of the sail panels so they are as far apart from each other to create a wider stage!, we'll see... for now I'm grounded with a cold and a terrible toothache!

That sucks. Probably a sinus infection, I would see a doctor sooner than later and get the antibiotics started. Talking from experience here!

Hey Derick, Which install kit did you use for your cd player ? I'm thinking about switching mine out cause the fit just isn't as clean as i'd like, yours looks pretty flush. Do you have an up-close pic of your deck and dash kit ?

Ohh and you have some links on where you downloaded them test CD's you can email me @ emp.id_2662@ymail.com
