Yes I do, but there are 2 other "Derick Veliz" out there, friends of mine one in NY the other one in Boston.

And so I have a question. Is there a distinct advantage to using an enclosure on the tweeter rather than the aimable small encloure that came with mine? Just a small 1" tweeter. Part of a component rockford fosgate speaker setup I got. A step up from factory for sure, but not in " youse guys" league.Still, I wnat it to sound as best it can.
And by that I mean, an enclosure like Derick is showing vs the little can type that came with the tweeter...... barely bigger than the tweeter.

To my understanding "DIFRACTIONS" is the issue here, This is a good LINK it's long and some times confusing but interesting.











I hope it help to answer your question...

I don't mind at all,

but referral for...?

There is so much information on the web, some reading must be done. (I don't like to read)

I drilled one of the spheres to mount the mechanical system, same as the big spheres just smaller.

I'm sorry I didn't clean up before I took the pictures!

[derickveliz2]

well, primed and painted the spheres...

Thanks,

Staging is OK I guess??? nothing to compare to!, even with the Tweeters in the cup holders.

Playing the 7 drums sounds like, I'm surrounded by them instead of having them spread out evenly, is that because the way I have my mids and tweeters???.

I did play with TA a little bit, but just guessing, I'll let the P99 do it's magic with the microphone that came with, after putting the tweeters in the new little spheres. For now sounds like this:






If any body would like a copy of this short song... let me know and PM me your email.

Tonight I switched to SNOW tires and since I was down there I treated the front quarter panels, remember this VIDEO... well not any more!

Whoa! Ummm....Derick...we need to figure something out. ALL the drum tracks need to be in front of you. 1-3 and 5-7 need to be on that dash much more than they are. You're seeing the huge holes between 3-4-5, that needs to be fixed. We need to mess with the Time Alignment here. I SOOOO wish I could sit you down in mine. We could hash the staging out, even though mine are set up completely differently. It would give you a point of reference to work off of.

PM me your EQ settings and your time alignment measurements and we'll work on it.

I know, instead of saying "Front Stage" I have "In Stage" sort of speak!

That is how it feels with some songs.

FYI


Talking about deadening...


I would like to report one of the best if not the best treated area for my Yaris, Yes the front quarter panels, you know I've been doing a lot of deadening on this car, but the really good one, the "bang for your buck"... it's right there, for rainy or snow days (salt & sand), this mod, really makes a big difference!

With only 2 CLD tiles and less than 1 square foot of Mat (per side), the end results are price less! I really recommend to deaden this areas, I don't know why I didn't do it before!

This is the achilles heel of the Yaris, please Toyota take notice!

Thanks, good luck with your install and don't forget to share pictures of your equipment/progress.

I'm sorry...
This is what I mean with tweeters in cup holders... (it was temporary)
