Re: Woodys show pony


Z1000,

Its a little hard to explain. The speaker sits in the solid mount. Then the door card is placed on over the top. The hole on the door card around the speaker is trimmed slightly. Then the black ring sits on top of the card and the speaker. It overlaps the card. It is screwed in at the same time as the speaker to the solid mount behind the door card causing the card to be held in place and the ring and speaker to be solidly mounted.

And yeah, I mean the trim when I say card.

It turns out our lighting idea didnt work out so now we're looking at changing the perspex pieces to polished aluminium. I'll keep you all updated.

Woody

Woody,

Thanks for the clear explanation. Just curious, does your door trim rattle much with 8" woofer?

I like the way you position your tweeter and mid-range on the dash, beautifully done! Does the custom pod move much on the dashboard?

Everything is solid. The door trim has carpet glued to the back of it so that it is solid against the door when mounted. The pods are also solid mounted to the dash using a combination of screws and the mounting brackets for that piece.

Woody,

With all the Dynamat ad extra carpet, I bet your doors are now solid and heavy, be careful not to have it shut on your leg though, it hurts like hell.

Given that door woofers are quite far from tweeters and mid, and all pointing at different directions, how do you manage to achieve a harmonic sound stage?

Re: Woodys show pony


As you probabaly know, generally sub-bass is non directional, and the higher up the frequency range you go, the more directional it becomes. Mid-bass probably wont be too much of an issue, however if the phasing is wrong then it may sound awful, however in saying that, having the mid-bass out-of-phase with the tweeters/midrange is sometimes required to compensate for the distance.

A digital sound processor like the Alpine PXA-H510 (or whatever the current model is nowadays; the one I used to have was the H600 and wasn't 5.1 compatible), with the microphone attached to measure speaker distances, is going to make it sound perfect.

Thanks Rich, sounds like a digital sound processor is maybe all I need for my existing 2 way setup without upgrading to a 3 way. Any other brands I should be looking into besides Alpine?

William, the processors wont give the illusion that there is a midbass speaker there if there isn't one there, so I'd still recommend putting some in if you were already thinking of it.

As for processors - I've been out of the game for several years now, and haven't kept up-to-date on all the latest gizmos offered by all the manufacturers. You'd probably best be hoping Woody can help you with that one, or pop into a reputable car stereo store for assistance, or jump onto the CAA website as there's a vast wealth of knowledge & experience there. It's been quite some time since I've been a regular there, too. I just checked the URL works and it appears they've had a name-change since last time I visited there.

Re: Woodys show pony


Well....

After lots of hard work and a few beers, I've finally got the car to a point where i'm happy with it all.

Modifications to date are as follows:

Eyelids, 18" Lenso Widetrack's, Throttle body Spacer, lots of stereo bits, HID's and a sunroof wind deflector. The tint has also been done and for anyone interested is T5 on the rear cargo windows and T18 everywhere else.

On their way are the CAI and Exhaust mods along with a few other little bits and pieces aimed at making it a little quicker.

So, I figured, after doing a photoshoot for a couple of magazines, I'd post some updated pics of my ride...

ImageImage

Side On. New number plates.

ImageImage

Front on

ImageImage

Debadged and smooth as silk...

ImageImage

This is what $15K of custom stereo looks like. Including hand built imported Amps and the "only 2 of their model in the country" Subwoofers

ImageImage ImageImage ImageImage

The lovely Jess


And my fave....

Feel free to ask any questions. I'll answer to the best of my ability. And, no, i can't give you jess's phone number... emoticon

I would love to make some technical comment mate, but all I can really say is "AWESOME"

They are some serious subbies in your boot...and the car looks great on those rims and rubber.
Great job, obviously a hell of a lot of time, effort and cash.
Cheers
oh yeah.. if you didnt mention Jess.. I never woulda noticed her emoticon
