lookin good so far...

Yes you have Jason, maybe we should have a thread just for A pillar Mid range builds.

 

meh...no need...

mine are currently at the upholstrey shop...we'll see who wins when we all compete!

probably not gonna be me...

I was supposed to be done for MECA this weekend, And to compete with TEAM PHASS USA, Doesn't look like it right now unless I pull an all nighter on finishing up. Then it still need tuning.................hmmm

 

does somebody on here build these? i'd def like to have this done

 

It would cost alot to build.

 

not to bad, as much as a really nice amp,
Drivers are very expensive and totally worth every penny,

 

ahh, how its time to put them in

 

Where did you get the fabric to wrap the pillars from? Mines is really really close, its off just a slight shade.

 

I believe its black heavy speaker grill cloth

 

Check them out, This is the Left, Right to Follow,

 

Meh...not a big fan, but it doesn't look that bad. Keep up the good work.

 

Looks pretty good man

 

I am more interested on how you took the a-pillar off and how you wraped it in that fabrik. I wanna do mine in black because I have some cigarete burns in them, Just not sure how to take it all off.

 

Neat integration, but does it really sound better? The stock driver uses the windshield to reflect the sound -- this position looks like most of the sound is aimed squarely at the opposite side of the car. I'd think the imaging would be way worse.

 

If you want great imaging, the tweeters should've been angled a bit.

 

So Nick & Mike are my resident on & off axis tech support guru's, go ahead and ask away how to build your 5 digit $$$$$.$$ system's. my off axis dynaudio 3 way system sounded better than any around here especially after tuning. If either of you have any testing knowledge of these drivers (phass evo 28 & phass dtm25) please share, otherwise don't waste my space

 

Dang Mark!! those pillars look sweet! you're putting some major $$$$$$ into this sound system. its gonna sound killer

 

I was asking a question. No need to show off your sandy vagina.

 

good one, got a chuckle from me !

 

Really? Looked like a statement to me too.

I think the work looks really clean.

I would be concerned about it being REALLY side biased though with the mid up there too. It is bad enough when the tweeter is on the pillar/dash.

Where is your midbass mounted? door?

 

midbass is directly below mid in the door about 20 inches down

 

Everyone has a different view of what sounds good. Trust me theres always somebody out that there car will sound better in one way or another. I think me and mike were jus saying the imaging would be off a bit. Guess you don't take constructive criticism well. Looks good man, great job, but to each his own. Here's a picture of my setup which is off axis a bit. Maybe your right, maybe those drivers you have need to be setup that way.

What is with the tweeter in the dash firing into the windshield? Doesn't that do some weird stuff with the Be tweet on axis?

 

That tweeter is just a dummie, I'm waiting for my factory speaker covers to come in from acura. The Be tweet is performing by itself with the 3'' and the 6.5 midbass in the door.

 

I think the positioning of yours for sq is easily tunable, and hands down with an assortment of many different drivers much easier to work with,

criticism I'm good with. my error for not sharing, I'm aware of your suggestions,

My setup for visual accomplishments met the goal I was after. I'm totally aware of imaging achievements and challenges that can & can't be made with the way my drivers are positioned. My first plan was to go opposite pillar to person relation, that would have been the ultimate, but could not be achieved esthetically with the amount of space behind the AT28 evo. I didn't want race car gauge pods or 44 double D boobs on the pillars. It may be choice to remove my mids and achieve my initial tweeter positioning and completely relocate the mids to another spot.

 

That angle was the "best" angle suggested by my builder. Sounds great!! I think he did an awesome install.

 

Does it bother you when your driving?

 

Nope. He took all that into consideration while building those panels for me. Thats just a close up picture thats why it looks like it would bother me.

 

Lookin good Mark... let's see some more pics!

 

Nick337, Do you ever head to the oklahoma area. I would like to hear your utopia . I curently have the krx2 in my 92 accord, about babout to take them out.

 

Silly question... Do you guys disable the airbags in the pillars when you put speakers there?

 

The krx2's are Utopia Like. Keke. I'm in the dallas texas area every once in a while. how you like the krx2s?

 

Of course not, my personal safety and others riding with me will always come first.

 

^So how do they deploy?

 

they will still work just like they are designed to work.
