Gotcha. Right now they are in my sails. I will probably try the polarity thing first, and grab some felt this weekend. Anything cheap for now to get me by is helpful. I really appreciate the advice.
I was just looking at some cheap decks since you mentioned it. Looks like there are some good Pioneer or Kenwoods. I will look into the JVC right now. Thanks for the help. Its crazy how much processing power you can get in a deck now for under $100. I used to run an 80PRS some years back.
Actually man its more like even without doing anything your overall sound is vastly improved. your current unit is an outdated unit with a cheap Cr@ppy low quality 16 bit dac. Your sound quality is already really low resolution and uneven response from the start. With a new unit with a quality 24 bit dac, it'll be much better sound off the batt without any tuning. However with the EQ options, you'll be able to really fine tune the specific frequencies that may or may not still offend your ears. You also get the option of running active which ditches the sh*tty passive crossover and actually allow you to use proper crossover points and slopes that work with your vehicle acoustic to get a perfect blend between mid and tweet, the ability to adjust tweeter and mid gain level also helps with that as well. You also get the ability to time align the mid and tweeter individually and actually have a proper sound stage rather than a garbage blob of mess with components.
Gotcha. Makes sense for sure. Though I do use a USB stick with only 320 MP3. Haha. I get your point. I may just order this today!
Know of any decent audio shops in the panama city/dothan/chipley etc areas? Im close to marianna
Clipping.
I thought about this too. But I would be willing to just bridge my 4 channel if that is the case. I don't necessarily need the rear fill.
Chances are its not the issue at all if it still sounds bright at lower volumes.
Im working on buying a new deck, and I am going to lower my gains a little, as well as turn off any Xovers on the amp. Just allow the deck to handle it if needed.
Clipping sounds metallic and harsh.
thats why i said at lower volumes which is completely clean power then its acoustics related issues where only crossover points/slopes and EQ can fix. Usually sibilance is 5khz to 8khz. 12khz and up is rarely an issue from all the systems I've tuned.
Sibance isn't just a peak. It's usually a combination of peaks and dips between 6khz and 16khz. Alot of times its very difficult to tame it and still get outstanding definition and air
quite easy with proper processing. No processing, you fked. But yeah his issue, I know because i've had those UB lines of pioneer, they had a very common sibilance issue that went away after swapping to an 80 prs. with nothing else done.
Should be ordering the deck when my tax money comes in. I dont even know if I am going to keep the car. However, I did lower the gains some, and turned off the Xover on the amp. Sounds much better. Still a bit harsh, so I'd be very excited to hear the new deck on them. I would still consider bridging the amp for the front speakers. But with only being rated at 60 RMS, idk if they will like that much more power... Of course I could gain down however.
