The SPL numbers are in.

Post by smgreen20 »

Here's a quick rundown of the set up.

Pioneer Primier P980BT

Front speakers
Dynaudio System 240 MKII (7" mid/ 1.1" tweet)
Xed over at 63 Hz @ 6 dB/oct HP 125 wrms

Rear speakers
4 x 6 factory speakers
Xed over at 200 Hz @ 12 dB/oct HP 20 wrms (deck power, level set at -6)

Sub
TREO SSi12.22 wired in series for a 4 ohm load
Xed over at 63 Hz @ 18 dB/oct LP 850 wrms
Box is 2.5 cf tuned to 37 Hz

Front amp
PG ZPA0.3

Sub amp
PG ZPA0.5

Basscube

Went to the store and had them pull out the term lab. Got 2 scores for ya all. Test 1 was windows up/closeed like it should be, using Mr. Tibbs' CD he offered to us disc 3 track 8, hit 130.9 dB
Test 2, same song, windows down/open, hit 132.2 dB

It my sound wiered, but I'm very pleased. Keep in mind, ths is a SQ system. After understanding how to "use" the time allingment in the HU, this is by far the cleanest sounding system I've ever heard or had. Sound stage is dead center and the bass blends perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better system.

Box is carpeted, and I impressed myself w/it. That's my weak point.

Pics will be added the holiday weekend.

I love time alignment! Makes SQ systems sound amazing, it's hard to listen to it not time aligned now.

Hey just out of curiosity, how did u ta it?

Did u ta it to the front and center of your car or ta it to right in front of ur face?

I usually do it to the front of my face so the music is right in front of me but I am curious if it would sound better centered in the car...I guess I could try it : ) but I am just wondering how you did it.

Thanks.

To the left center of my dash. Kind of in between center and in my face. I had it in my face at one point, didn't like it as much. Just felt wierd.

Cool, I experienced the same thing. I originally had my hu aligned to my ears where I was basically IN the music but I liked it much better when I aligned it to the front of my face.
