SQ comp sunday any advise??

[Alpineinstaller 10+ year member]

I talked to a professional installer (Phil Hughs) last sunday about my install and me going for SQ, he listened to my system and said it was very good for a beginner. He told me to deaden my doors and that my sound stage had a little right bias. So I deadened my door with Dynamat extreme and played with my time correction alittle, hell i even went to best buy and bought Hotel California. I am asking for advise on this. Thank you to all who answer.

aI.

My advice would be too try an listen to as many other cars as you can. Try to listen to different systems with the same music. Don't be afraid to talk to the other competitors. Most will happily demo for you. Some will we offer to listen to yours and provide feeback. Take criticism with a smile. And learn from it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Pics of your set-up, a list of your set-up, and some descriptions on your tuning and EQ'ing would be nice if you wouldn't mind letting us know. I've been tweaking with my Z6's a few weekends ago, and keep getting them to sound a little better and more centered sounding every time.

 

[Alpineinstaller 10+ year member]

No pics as of yet.

My Setup:

Alpine CDA-9855

Alpine Type-R fronts (soon to be JL XR's or ZR, i work at a JL dealer now)

no rear fill

Alpine Type X 12" sub in 3 cubes after displacement tuned to 33hz (soon to be JL W7 8")

Alpine MRD-1005 (soon to be JL 250/1)

Memphis Belle MCD-1300 (running comps on front channels soon to be JL 450/4)

Tuning:

Sub is LP'ed at 63hz gain set at 4v (thanks to my amp link) 2 db of bass boost at 45hz.

Fronts HP'ed at 63hz playing 1 db lower than the sub to make the sub more present in the sound stage.

5 band GEQ on deck: I have no idea what i have it set on right now, just what sounds right to me.

Time Correction:

FL: 1.4ms FR:0.3ms

SUB:0.0ms (as it was my reference point)
