The SQeer Thread

Well I got the sub for nothing, and as you can see I can get Alpine pretty easily, so I think it is the “Type X” sub that is the SQ sub, no? I can pick one of those up if need be.

In certain situations, having the tweeters up higher can work. I have my tweeters on the dash and my midbass speakers in the door. With time alignment and a lot of phase switching, I found what works best. I have tried tweets next to the mid and in kicks. I prefer the dash location. One think that is key here (i think) is that even though the tweets and mids aren't close to each other, in my car they are roughly the same distance away from my ears. Each car is going to have a different "sweet spot" so to speak, so the best thing you can do is experiment.

how exactly is that accomplished? how do you set something like that up? Does my HU have that feature or do I have to buy a seperate EQ?

Time allignment is allso called time delay. When you drive you sit closer to the left speaker than you do the right. Time allignment, or delay, will actually delay the left (driver) side speaker. The delay is in milliseconds.

Some headunits have time allignment, you would have to check your manual.

So set it up. There are several different variations. Some HU will ask you for the distance in inches from eash speaker to your seat. Others like my eclipse have the delay in milliseconds. You would have to determine how much. They have a math equation in the manual that teaches you how.

I wanted it to have links and posts on the info I first listed. They I thought we would just answer questions on the matter in this thread. Now...I am completly insure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

cool. thanks for the info on time alignment. Will have to check that out. I just thought they did that in the song itself. Cause on my 7.1 surround @ home the song travels from speaker to speaker sometiems.

Looks to be like a good thread to ask SQ related questions.

But wait is there not a section for this, Hmmmmm.........

that would be a good idea. Do a section for people with SPL questions and have one for people with SQ questions

what exactly is time alignment?

a bandaid for a poorly executed speaker placement

You could just buy a processor and get TA....could save you some money. If you are interested I know someone who has a AltoMobile Sub-16 Digital Sub EQ processor. 9.9ms delay/channel, 64 presets 8 settings with 8 variables for each.

Thats a nice unit.,...so is the Drive30

Aytron, The type 'X' is an SQL sub IIRC. I know it sounds a hell of a lot better than a w0
