Build Log: XXX Install and More...

[Proximity 10+ year member]

After you're done with the install you should remove all the interior plastic (like the dash and all that) and paint it black. That plus those doors like that would definitely look awesome. something like this for example: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/Us3dToil3tP4p3r/blackdash4.jpg

Awesome install so far btw. What crossovers do you have?

Yeah I plan on blacking out a lot of the interior. Dash, seats, carpet, and visors will stay grey. Doors, a-pillars, rear panels, rear speaker grills, and rear deck will all be either wrapped or painted black.

And no crossovers, running active through my 9887.

Alright, I unhooked the other set of mids. After individally adjusting the tweets and the mids I finally got it sounding how I think it should.

Heres the crossovers:

Mid-L-L -2 63hz 12db

Mid-L-R 0 63hz 12db

Mid-H-L -2 3.2khz 12db

Mid-H-R 0 3.2khz 12db

High-L -5 3.2khz 12db

High-R 0 3.2khz 12db

This is the best its sounded so far, although I have lost a bit of midbass since I pulled the other set. However, it sounds much cleaner and much more accurate. I also checked the phase for the tweets and mids individually.

The tweets definitely sound the best at 3.2khz with a 12db slope. Without a doubt, that will never change. The 24db slope was raping them. Once I played them alone at 12db they really started to shine. They didnt really like 2.5khz though.

Gonna be pulling the inside set of mids and just going to stick with one set. I just cant fit them how they need to be, and they are out of phase. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

However, Im gonna smooth out the door panels and fill in the hole for the inner set of mids.

Im thinking about laying down a cougar decal cut out of foam in that spot and then covering the doors in vinyl.

Oh yeah vinyl showed up today!

Ive got lots more than I was expecting too. I think I should be able to cover a lot with what I have.

It seems like pretty good stuff, especially for the price. I was impressed by how much stretch it actually has, with a heat gun I think I should be okay covering the doors.

Nice!

Im still not sure what Im gonna do with the other set. More than likely I will either just keep them around for spares or just off them.

I'll know once I make a little more progress, so Ill let you know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
