    2014 Accord Sport SQ Build keep_hope_alive

    This is fantastic build log. Much of it over my head but I need to pick it up quickly. My Corolla is slightly smaller than your Accord. I have speakers in the front doors. I'd like to invest some time and material into, at least, the front door. Can you aid me with a ballpark figure of how...

    I've watched and checked out everything you linked me to and had a couple questions. Did you use those F.A.S.T Rings or something similar? Did you deaden the plastic trim at all or is the decoupling process sufficient?

    That's some serious coverage in that Corolla Door photo! How much square footage and $ should I anticipate budgeting for? I'm assuming the money and time spent was a major impact. There are multiple materials rec'd between cld and dynamat-type. Not sure what's better. The bottom-line idea...

    I'm going to try avoiding the dsp route until I have no other choice. However, between the three of you, who are obviously experienced and knowledgable about equipment, which dsp(s) do you recommend? I'm always hoping bang-for-buck. I'll need an active xover and eq. The lpf/hpf on my amp...

    That "gap" style tuning is done only through an active system right? I'd love achieve those results. These speakers do seem to have tons of potential at moments. I just spoke to the dealer and they won't take a return and blamed my amp "because sometimes digital amps run bright..." Sounds...

    No doubt! I was wondering about the car's acoustics. I thought it was sales talk but I do notice small movements making big impacts. For instance, having my right arm up w/ hand on steering wheel lowers harshness on my left ear (passenger speaker reflecting off driver window?!). Rolling down...

    I agree. I've owned a pair of jbl pointsource coaxs a couple decades ago. They had the most solid soundstage I've ever heard in a car. They just didn't last long. That's what I was hoping for with these, but with better durability. My deck has a 13 band eq and I've had to use it! Looks...

    The gains are at about 40%. Maybe it's more the lack of passive tuning like we both mentioned. Yeah, anything I don't do myself is too much money and a necessary rip off nowadays. I don't have the luxury of time anymore to do this stuff with a family and all. I paid less than that price so...

    I have Morel Tempo Ultra Integra 602 powered by JL 400/4d unbridged complemented by a sealed jl 10w1v2, running off 500/1d. The headunit is a Kenwood dxd393. The Morels are in the stock door location of a 2014-16 Corolla to achieve some stealth. No deadening. My problem is that the speakers...
