I have a couple different post open with different issues so let’s move it all to this one Location.
let’s start with the good first. The Sony xmgs4 channel is a great amp I am getting zero noise , they are dead quiet. I wish it had more power it is only doing around 70 watt per channel.
I ran new speaker wires to each speaker. I wanted to run an active setup.
using all ofc power cable
doors are properly treated
speakers are in phase
everything so far on the install is correct
1st issue. It seems the idatalink and the jvc kw-z1000w head unit tries to put a factory preset tune into the system
I should be able to figure a way to get a flat signal and plan on running a dsp not sure what one yet. I have the Dayton 408 but I might change from this one to something else
2nd issue. The speakers sound like garbage
I am using a set of silver flute 6.5 inch and a set of focal iss tweeters.
getting no mid base
and the tweeters are terrible
Here is where things get interesting, if I move my head close to the center console so about 18 inches the whole system comes alive. I can hear details in the speakers that I can not hear in the normal driving position. Sound is much better
So it is obvious that the speaker selection I have chosen and using the factory locations for the speakers is an issue With being off axis and cancellation Issues.
Will correct time alignment fix this problem, or is it car specific and speaker specific, time alignment may or may not fix the acoustics of the Tundra. Or will time alignment adjustments most if the time fix this problem.
I have thought about going the direction of using a different door speaker able to provide more midbass
then having kick panels model up to fit the silver flute 6 1/2 more on axis and then using actual tweeter pods aimed more on axis on the dash
I am going to keep this post open. I am sure I will have multiple questions as the install progresses.
thanks in advance to all the ones that can get me started in the right direction
