yikes...


Changing the layout of the interior may cause some regions to load differently.... pressure will simply be distributed through the car in a slightly different way which could shift the possitions of nodes and anitnodes....

you might gain, you might loose, nothing may happen at all...

i was surprised at how much i could gain just by changing the positions of my seats and visors. chris b gave me a few tips at finals and i gained over a full db just trying different adjustments - one i never would have though of (but worked) was pointing the DRIVER visor towards the passenger area (right at the mic)
who woulda thunk?!?

Trial and error works best. Helps if u have a mic to test results helps too.
I mean people can give u advice on things to try, but doesn't always mean it will work.
Test test test...
Having 2 fob Ukrainians to help u out works wonders as well

not only hours and and hours of experementing, but lots and lots of recones as well. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

but ya.. my crx last year at finals, if i didn't have everything the way it should be, and the people holding certian spots, i coulkd lose up to 1.3 db's... my box placement was the most crutial part! it plays a huge roll..

back to the mic loading, Riprock taugh me a WICKED little secret on how to tell where the Pressure, or air builds the most@! [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

^ If you are blowing coils while testing be warned you may seriously degrade BL in the process.. !
