Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[sqcomp]

I'll see if I can get a hybrid audio t shirt for you at least. I'll be hanging around Scott until Sunday anyway...

I don't know if image Dynamics is going to have an off site suite, I'll try to corner matt borgart or one of the other guys from ID to get you something.

Pioneer USA will be there. That's one of the First booths I'm visiting!

I was in the convention center today actually helping Scott B move black Betty into the IASCA booth. You should have seen all the people taking video and pics. I'm "working" in a suite across the street from the convention center. I'll get lots of pictures of the other cars too. I saw at least three murcialagos within 59 yards. BB is right across the aisleway from the pioneer USA booth. I'm going to have fun with that one. Hopefully we have that Lexus in the booth at some point...

Yes, I will do my damnedest to get to the maxxsonics booth.

Definitive technologies is on the other side of the courtyard of suites from us...have to visit them too!

Hey D, have you installed those L6's yet? I'll have scott's ear for several days since we're crashing at the same suite. That is IF you want to ask any questions.

I haven't I only got regular rings for the L6s and I wanted to have them flush in the kickpanels. I'm figuring out how to make it happen.

Regular ring on the left, and step down ring on the right for a flush mount it's what I'm looking for my L6s.





But I do have a couple of questions... may not be relevant but aiming the L6s up in a 45 degree angle towards the listeners or "off axis" I guess in the 40Hz to 300Hz it doesn't really matter. (From the kickpanels)

for the L1v2 in spheres in front of the sail panel... on axis or off axis? I know I should try them for some days and feel the difference on what sounds better for me, but it wouldn't hurt to know what Scott thinks.

Thanks

Get those Mids on axis as much as possible. I'd aim them towards the space above the gear shift.

Yes, you should try all the speakers at different axises. It really depends on the sound YOU like. These tweeters SHOULD be able to perform damned well off axis.

That's actually the advice he gave to me with the L1 Pros years ago.

Whadya think about this:







^LOOONG day and Scott Buwalda and Duane Blackwood are finally finishing dinner off with a little bit of bread following the T-bone steak and sauteed shrimp...

If you guys don't know Duane Blackwood, do a google search and look up the hit on his 5.0 liter mustang.

I worked on the 2nd sphere, I did sand them a little bit and ready for primer, here are a couple of shots!

The aiming of my drivers are/will be very similar to his Mustang... I'm concern on the "width" of my front stage, any feed back from the experts will be NICE!






Thanks

That is "one of a kind" NISSAN!

I'll start my own CES thread...I don't want to hijack yours Derick. Sorry bout that. Oh, don't worry, I'll be talking with Scott and showing him your progress. I'll get some thoughts from him.

[_S7V7N_]

Derick you wouldn't happen to have a Facebook would you ?

[sickpuppy1]

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...

All good!
No problem! we could have a LINK instead!

Yes I wonder how you get to a better SQ, specially width and depth of the front stage.

Thanks
