On the Road to SQ World

[guesswhoami]

Very nice setup. Hopefully enjoying most out of it.

Recently i was playing with the polarities of the subwoofer and phase shifting, it was real fun to see the effects and discovered that polarity was reversed, after changing it there was a drastic change in the sound. Now i intend to check the same for components, gurus pl guide for below:

Should i change the polarities on the cross-overs for example for midrange only. By this, will i be changing the polarities of the mid range only and alternatively if i want i can change the polarity of tweets only?
Or should i just change the wires on the amp instead? I think in this way i would be change the polarities of both midrange and tweets at the same time.

What du to all say?

Mid range?? You may be referring to the mid bass drivers. As the crossovers of MB's and tweets is separate and accepts the bi wring, bi amping method. Bi wire your cross overs and then you can flip out any tweeter or MB driver from the cross over point outputs. Do play with the cut offs and attenuation levels of the tweeter from its crossover unit.

Oky guys, i have changed the position of the tweeters,now they are even more sweet sounding. They are appox 1m from Mid Bass driver and firing on one and other. Im falling in love with them as they look more beautiful and integrated part of car interior now. Suggestions are welcome:

No they are not facing the dashboard. They are placed on the flat surface on the door cornor, so cant be facing downwards. they are properly drilled also. They seems like this in the pic, might be some editing problem.

Put them on the A pillars facing each other and make sure nothing is in between that could cause reflections which can lead to brightness.

welcome to sq world and many congrats for your setup.

my tweets are also firing towards each other and i love the response on this direction though my tweets are placed on dash but not in sail.

[madhouse12]

these tweeters sound best facing each other. if you have them on the door sail panel, they will face a little down towards the dashboard. also b careful while opening doors in rainy season as water might drip on to them. not the best of locations for tweeters.

@kzaki Thankyou bro for your kind words, Its a real appreciation from me when Gurus like you and many others from audio section like the system.

[WAkkY]

@madhouse12 sir your very right, there cant be any doubt on ure statement, i have tried placing them on different locations and this location suits me well.Your advice is dually noted and will prevent them from water. This suggestion comes just at the right time as today its raining in Lahore

[WAkkY]

In sealed, 1.25 cuft or above, NO Q isnert should be used, that will yield the highest Qtc. You should try it. I am using the same as well

@roms Bro, today i have tried no q-insert for the sub and i liked the sound even more and its better then mid / low Q. Thankx for ure advice.

Have u tried firing the tweets towards the opposite head rests so the intersection point is just in the middle. Do try it

I have been gathering some more stuff to be added in system, few of them have been bought, Details are:

Focal 165CV1 bought to replace the rear OEM speakers.

Peel and seal for dampening the front door.

0 guage Bridgestone cable with thimbles for BIG-3 or BIG-2 . Needs suggestions for this.

drill the small holes on the thimble to make em at least 5 mm wide, insert the wire through the normal hole, use a blow/welding/gas torch on the thimble and feed solder from the frilled hole till it overflows. let it cool. you will have a good contact. dont hammer em

I would further add upon madhouse12's point by saying that for reference you can see what I did in my thread with a similar 0 gauge cable.

Suggestion noted sir. What do you suggest among Big-2 or BIG-3. Im a bit reluctant for BIG-3 because adding wire from Alternator to battery seems dangerous to me. Will BIG-2 is any good OR big-3 is the only real thing. Pl note that my system do not require that much power (appox 400Rms for sub and 75rms each for front/back stage)
