As you can see from the link the driver does 30 Hz (down quite a few dB). BUT I have .5 cu ft enclosures and the floor of my car gives me a bass hump so I have too much bass (ill defined and lumpy even) so worse than too little bass is too much low quality sub-bass. I just dick with the Xover and give all the sub 60 Hz to the sub. Sub bass from up front has never been a priority and so far has been an annoyance.

...are you guys trying to get me in more trouble?

My car sits torn appart half the time I use it to start with.

mmmmm subs in dash....

 

Congrats DEFRO !!!! Well done !!!! You're one of the few that has an Alpine F#1 system AND a sub up-front. I'm sure it sounds as good as it looks.

 

Hey, where's winslow from Carsound?.....someone call him up and tell him to post here so I can have another good laugh.

"You can't have up front sounding bass with subs mounted in the rear"


Whatchu talkin bout Winslow?

 

Brandon,

He's got more experience with this stuff than I do, so I'm inclined to at least respect his comments.

Dereck,

It seems that every top competitor these days is making a positive comment about Earl's BMW. The really funny thing about Earl's car, is that it was set up as a 1 seater. It worked well from both seats, but one seat was far superior to the other. This is ironic in my mind considering the current climate of 2 seat judging. In my mind, his car laid the ground work for a lot of great minds to think outside of the car chasis. (Mark E. comes to mind.)

He did a lot of things he did to break new ground and be different, and also to spite some of the current IASCA rules at the time in hopes they would change.

I wasn't a big fan of the overdone a-pillar install either. I liked the previous system with the little elevators that came up out of the dash and then tilted towards you. That was cool.
