[QUOTE="dazz, post: 1074650, member: 560359"] i have a set of components that were in my car... i was running them in my doors without any type of enclosure/baffle... i added some foam speaker baffles... i lined them with sound deadening and filled them with polyfill (not very much since the speakers are just slightly smaller than the baffles)... now i get a resonance somewhere in the vocal/midrange area... at a certain frequency with voices (probably under 1khz) i get a harsh bite... any other frequency sounds fine... what can i do short of removing the baffles to fix this problem? there is a 10 or 11 band eq with a 1 band parametric eq... could i utilize that to help with the problem? the reason behind me using the baffles is that the doors in my car arent sealed... with most cars the outer and inner door skins are locked together (the outside sheet metal is folded on top of the inside sheetmetal), but with mine they are 2 separate pieces that let the elements in (about a 1/8-1/4 inch gap between the 2)... the doors dont leak when its wet (doesnt get dirty at all inside the door) but in the winter time the speakers sound off for the 1st 10 minutes or so (which im sure isnt good that im playing them while they are like this)... sounds to me like theres some moisture getting in and freezing... is the only solution for me is removing the speaker baffles when its warm and just putting them back in for the winter? or will i be able to tune the resonance out with the eq thanks [/QUOTE]
