****HELP me with SQ****

1.) Get a set of Rainbow tweeters2.) Get a head unit with a lot more procesing

3.) Get a good Active Xover, 4 band

4.) Get a good 30band EQ

5.) Get a good 4 channel amplifer or two good 2 chanel amplifiers

If it where me I would run the Assasin 8's from 50-200Hz, the Aersenals from 200-2000, and the tweeters from 2000-20000. Put all three infront of you. Assasins and 6.5's in the kick or lower door and the tweeters on the dash (to help raise sound stage).

THEN run the Ava18 sealed in the trunk from 50Hz down.

Then start messing with aiming of the tweeters. When you get the sound you like you are ready to move on.

After that is all done start to play with cross over poits and slopes. When it gets sounding good to your ears move on.

Now start EQing. Doing 20-20000Hz sweeps with a mic will tell you where your dips are and you can work them out with the mic and by ear.

Now start messing with time alignment assumeing that is a feature on your head unit.

That is a basic run down of the tuning and set up competition SQ cars go through. Ive never personally set up an SQ car for competition, but that is what Ive have helped do for daily SQ.

Those 8's are GIGANTIC.

I'd go with the AVA18 sealed, 4cubes NET with polyfill.

I'll give you some great SQ advice. And no real offense to the guy at all or anything... but don't listen to anything mike tells you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

processing: as stated earlier h701 but you either must purchase the c701 or get a tv to control it as say a w200 with the h701 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif, http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2202890#post2202890.

placements of tweets: thats up to you bud. it all depends on the geometry of your car so you my friend must experiment yourself. you and only you will tell you what is best for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

I know, so are the 10's. If he could fit them, he wouldnt have any midbass problems. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Agreed but I doubt he can fit them....dual midbasses would give him plenty of kick since he already has them...Deaden the **** out of your door if you haven already...if you want you can probably get away with running one set of poly mids in the kicks with the tweet of your choice to run in the 200HZ to 2000 range. Mount the second set on your doors for midbass duty only from 50-200...Run the Ava sealed and just ditch the assassins all together...Active is the only way to go...

processing I'd go with a P9 combo or an H701, both are good units with lots of ability that arent' ridiculously expensive.
edit: Since you have an alpine hu, go with the h701

What is this?

 

[timb2169 10+ year member]

Also guys...Im sorry to say, but i needed something to hold me over until I get things underway here. Got a Boss X-over from ebay, $60 shipped. Will work fine until I get settled.

So Why ditch the Assasins? I've got 6 laying here....Shoud I seal 4?

Why do 1 18'' AVALANCHE sealed? Is that better that Assasain's in multiples sealed?

I've got 2 mids in each door, and I cant change that. If I did I'd have to get new door panels. So out of question! 4 polys....

What tweets? I dont know, but I need something...suggestions?

Amp for highs....Tsunami 4280 4 channel amp, older. GREAT amp. Needs fixed. Stuck in protect...help?? (Where to fix?)

Alpine 9857 HU. Yeah, its nice. But features ****!!!!!!

Some one help me!

 

[timb2169 10+ year member]
