well for sure i am because it would be perfect for the car i just got my TL 2days ago & i want to make the music better

 

Not to sound like a broken record but ME lol! I've been going through hell trying to get good sound out of these things. I finally have but they have to be within a few inches of the trunklid facing rear. Besides the rattles, there's 0 trunk space. I even tried my old Cerwin Vega 15" and it too didn't sound right in the TL. The JLs sounded great in my GN but the TL has never been to my liking.

 

Did the DNX7100 then kenwood came out with the Car Portal line. They have a great piece that lets you use the factory touch screen. I wanted to be able to use the NAV and have a movie going @ the same time.

 

hmm...so when's the next AZ for southern california?

hey csw got anymore progress pictures?? & i still would like to buy one of those boxes from you how much would you charge?

 

no progress pics...been doin other things to the TL...lowered BBK...currently wheel shopping...not to mention...since i let the GF drive the TL...she loved the system...so I had to do a full system install on her G35...the whole nine yards...gotta love women...i'll get back to it eventually...

 

Just installed the Type-X Components...simply amazing...nuff said...

-Jason

 

cant wait to see the progress lol

 

Looks good, I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks when it's all done.
As far as the stock headunit (06), does it have RCA jacks on the back?

 

NO it does NOT have RCA outputs in the rear...

 

Thanks Rodney, I saw deathtotoasters thread after I posted, Acura sure made it a PITA to add a sub. Is the best option for adding a sub going from the deck or the stock amp?

 

depending on your application...ie vehicle...i personally think chopping an rca and tapping into the low level signal just before the factory amplifier is the best way.no loc's to fuck with

-jason

 

nice setup
heres a quick pic of mine

Thanks bud...

updates to come soon as the damn car is outta the bodyshop fuckin bambi!!! lol

Custom active driver /passive radiator door pods are on the drawing board. PXA-H650 is being donated for my disposal as well as a Audio Control DQS w/ DDC...if only my car where here!!!

-Jason

 

Hey CSW----how is the install coming? Any completion pics? Hope you can make the All Cali Meet would love to see and hear the final product

 

yeah, i'd also love to see some pics

 

i'm tryin car has been outta my possession for 3 weeks....

when is the all cali meet?

-Jason

 

Nothing firm yet, usually June/July timeframe...they seem to have it narrowed down to pismo or slo areas

 

PISMO....argh! that would be nice!!!

hopefully i take some time to get my car completed...and stop changing things up for the hell of it...LOL...i was seconds away from ordering a full scan speak setup from madisound...but i resisted...almost 2300 bux for the 6 raw drivers...when i get bored i spend money...bad habit...but w/e...i'm extremely interested in hearing your setup. Eggy you gonna fly out?

-Jason

 

Full scan speak...that would be something to hear...your sub set-up is gonna rock hard Seems like you are going for more spl or maybe sql then straight sq.

 

man i cant wait to see this car when its done.... i like the box design.... can ya make me 1 lol.... carpet & all

 

sq...

4th order bandpass enclosure designs...

- Huge Cabinent gain...incredible efficiency...much much less power used...more dynamic range...as the driver doesn't have to move as far to produce pressure....ie under extremely loud listening conditions...in excess of 120+ db constantly...i'm able to place my hands on the drivers as they are barely moving.

- No Mechanical Noise...it is naturally filtered by the enclosure design..as the enclosure will only play between 30 - 100 hz...all mechanical noise is well above that...so when properly phase corrected...the sub bass is extraordinarily difficult to localize...

- no 3rd and 4th order harmonics...just as stated above...they're naturally filtered by the enclosure design...

- all sound is directed into the cabin of the vehicle...no excessive pressure in the trunk...no rattles...and a huge benefit to that...is when i wanna show the system...i can have the trunk open and not have any affect on the sound inside the passenger compartment..

the downside to 4th order bandpass enclosures...

a-Size
b- complexity to build
c - complexity to design
d - servicability

however properly executed it is in my honest opinion the best enclosure design imaginable...

just for giggles...we did measure the spl of my vehicle...it was 141.3 DB at the windshield...enough to flex the roof by almost an inch and a half and the windshield wipers dance...not to shabby for a SQ system...again...i gain almost 6 db between 30 -110 hz...

-Jason

 

You want a deposit on a box? I've got my rear seats in and it's not too bad with them facing forward but I imagine your box would be a huge improvement.

 

lol...i won't just build and ship off to anyone just yet...you gotta hear it to believe it...sad...I was just in bakersfield going to ashley's furniture...but my car is still in the shop...


-Jason

 

141 is pretty good....still a little skeptical on the sq part....but definitely want to check out the enclosure. Are you running the 750's to the subs and the 600 to the front stage?

 

141 is nice for a sq setup

 

yep...750/1 to each Driver...plenty of dynamic power...
you'd be surprised to hear that most crazy SQ cars can absolutely rip your head off...the goal is to get as much sound with the smallest amount of cone movement...DYNAMIC!!!

-Jason

 

That's what I thought...thanks. Is your car still in the shop?

 

dang thats one crazy set up you got their. I wish i was in cali

 

was taken sunday....hopefully car will be done by thursday....so i can get back to work...which is a bummer...because second set of type x pro's as well as the pxe-h650 will be hand delivered today by alpines sales manager...but soon enough i can finally get back to work on my car...

still on my to do list for the system...

Custom door pods
Custom A-pillars
PXE-H650 Install and calibration
(Possible addition of the Audiocontrol DQS and DDC)
Fabricate and weld custom amprack
Re-build and finish rear sealed enclosure...marble lined with acrylic window trunk side
Finish and Trim trunk
Suede Headliner...
Custom re do seats perferated suede inserts on the black leather and thick red stitching.

i still have a shit ton of work ahead of me...

i'll keep you boys posted

-Jason

 

Do I sense a 2-tone paint job?

IMO, if they took the time to de-trim the car before painting, they should have also removed the rear tails.

Can't wait to see it finished, Jason!

 

no 2 tone...just yet...gonna do a full color change eventually...i told him to leave the tails in...he can blend the QP to bumper better with the bumper on the car...

i'll get to this frickin car eventually...


-Jason

 

PXE-H650 internals...just imprinted a customer vehicle today...WoW...it takes a bit to set-up...but holly cow batman...sounds wonderful...not perfect...but damn close

-Jason

 

I've heard that unit sounds really good, but the output is really low. You'll probably have to crank up the gains on the amps to get decent levels out of it.

Can't wait to see your finished project...

 

in sql mode...my daily listening volume

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy9vwq_umz8

just uploaded should be available shortly...

LOL...boredom...

-Jason

 

It says the video is private... can't see it

 

that might help

-Jason

 

That is unreal

 

Holy fuck, man!!! I'd swear that rear glass is about to shatter.

What the hell do you have in there? Totally kickass!!!

 

I thought it was going to be a vid of the sheetmetal flexing, not the actual structure of the car flexing. My 12W6s don't come anywhere close to that.

So when can I demo??
