I agree the pods aren't stealth, my plans have change yet again, and kicks will be built.
I had planned to keep the stock deck but, it just sucks way to much. Navigating any kind of MP3 CD is a useless endeavour. I do plan on getting the stock deck face to go over my deck eventually. But first up will be subs, and they will be stealthy as well. |
I'd like to know how those 3" mids sound...................

you really know wtf you are doing. looks sick.

Decided to switch up the equipment, 5 1\4 pioneer PRS comps and premier shallow mount 8 for the doors.
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 The shallows are pretty shallow, about the same mounting depth as the midranges http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 All of them together http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 During the install, one of the pioneer sub\midbase didn't work, but luckely I noticed that pressing on the negative terminal made it play a little, so I took apart the terminal and re-soldered it. I was pretty happy, didn't have to return it http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 managed to get my pods to look like the stock panels but without cuting up or using the stock ones. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Of course I did seal off the back as can be seen from the top pictured pod http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Forgot one important thing when I was ready to put the pods in.... didn't have any more poly fill.... so I had to improvise http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Looks not to bad with those sexy PRS midranges http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Here are the drivers in the doors, they are replacing dayton RS series inch woofers. Lucky for me, they both had the same cutout so an easy swap. I did have to cut up the door a bit to make it fit though. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Passenger side pod, while fitting the mid, I didn't take into account the logo on the grill. Oups. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Drivers side is the same http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 I riped out my dash pods and I am testing out tweeter locations, but so far corner dash seems pretty good sound wise. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 And here is might sound setup, true RTA with with behringer mike, you can also see my reflection hehe http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?150216-272 Here is what it's in http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?555915-272 |
Very nice work. Are those 8's the Premier ones, TS-SW841D's? How do they stack up in bass response, vs. the Daytons? The Daytons are the RS225's?
|
Yes they are the premier ones, so far they seem to play lower then the RS225's but they are not as loud, I think they want more power. Dayton was better at midbase and played higher, the pioneers play lower and are less efficient.
I measured relative loudness of the 2 using true RTA DAYTON RS 100hz -2.4 DB 80hz -3.4 60hz -8.2 50hz -8.8 DAYTON RS 100hz -4.2 DB 80hz -6.8 60hz -11.3 50hz -8.9 Closer to 0, the louder it would be. Of course the daytons were broken in and the pioneers are new. I need more time to experiment before more comments. I also decided to clean up the tweeters, pictures are pretty dirty, they look better in person I would say. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?251215-274 http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?251215-274 |
looks good but I am not sure about those kicker panels. If it was my car I know atleast the one on the drivers side door wouldnt last long because it that pic it looks like it sticks out pretty far... but I guess they are called kicker panels for a reason :D
|
I haven't kicked em yet, nor has the careless wife. They really don't stick out to much I find.
Updated though, those pioneers are not meant for midbase dutie. They are pretty anemic in output and have no midbase. Dayton's are 100% better. Changed the finish on the tweets http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?362316-281 http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?362316-281 Next up, new midbases and more door work. |
The new midbase has arrived!
http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?542716-282 It's the middle one... yummy peerless! |
