Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

well i can get it for $190 shipped from a reliable and trusted dealer with a 1 year warranty....granted it isnt a factory warranty but i have had to use the warranty on one of their products before and they honored it...

honestly, the only Vibe series that did its rated power (a bit underrated) is the vibe 1200d. Old lanzar amps were nice. Its ran by some, well who the hell knows what they're ran by now.


But if it comes with a warranty, at least its better than not having one at all. Can't say how long it'll last though.

Almost finished, just need to sand some more, do some filling, cut osme excess away, and paint...

now i just got to get the other one's hole cut and all so i can listen to the tweeters properly mounted instead of jsut set up on the dash...

That's the way the resin is supposed to be ;)

No fiberglass reinforcement on the inside, why did you angle them straight out instead of slightly angled towards you? Just wondering imaging wise...

NG

im wondering also, tweeter imaging is usually best aimed at the dome light, or up high cross firing

u went thru all that work and left them like that?

they will be aimed at the windsheild, you cant tell but they are slightly slanted towards the windsheild and remember, RE's has the swivle mounts... they can be aimed pretty much any way you want them to be...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/CBFryman/Picture320.jpg
about how they will be set up...

Bass sounds better reflex...but tweeters are supposed to be aimed somewhat towards the person, or to a common point in the middle but still towards the person. Better imaging...good thing they are swivel mounts to you can adjust ;)

yup

i still think u should have mounted them in a different spot tho, that location isn't the best, especially if you made them specifically to get better imaging -_-

Diotto/\/\/\/\/\/\

Of course I didn't do that. Mine are also pointing kinda towards the windshield but I had to since that's where the OEM tweets were.

RE's are so damn harsh, ive played around, im not looking for SQ top of the line imageing, but they are easier on the ears when they are reflaced agianst the windsheild, imageing is actually pretty good. and they are damn loud, i am scared of what is going to happen if i put 50w on these things...im getting 10RMS right now per chanel...i was going to buy a Cadence q3000 for $120 but i would rather have new, im looking at a cheaper profile amp. and when i designed them i took the swivle mount into account, they are only slightly pointed forward, so i could still swivle them all the way back to me for where they are pointed towards me but not directly on axis with my ears.

I'm thinking about fabing my tweets into my dash... If I do it I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures so there will actuallly be visuals of properly aimed tweets.
The FG isn't bad, good way to learn...

Tis true, I don't know how he thinks they're harsh when he doesn't even have an amplifier on them...lol

I guess you're just not used to it, or it's not balanced out enough. You're HU is zero-d out correct? I mean, I had 230rms per side going to my components, with no attenuation and it was DANDY! ;)

NG

once agian you dont know WTF you are talking about. I had a cheap ass sony amp on them for a week or so to see how they sound, with an EQ they would be fine but they sound better TO ME aimed at the wind sheild when runnin them off of the HU. which is what they will be on for a while. i built them this way so that in the future if i wanted to tunr them around i could...
BTW, when i aim them at the windsheild it makes the music seem to come from the windsheild/dash, which i would rather have than coming from the doors... which is what they sound like when aimed towards me.

Yup, you're right...I'm clueless :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes:

i was saying you dont know what you where talking about me never handing an amp on them.... :screwy: :rolleyes:

Wow, you got him to change his sig for you AGAIN! You're on a roll CB!

Have you decided what you're gonna do for the substage yet? I'm having a hard time deciding between a RE SE 15 and an Atlas 15...

i was saying you dont know what you where talking about me never handing an amp on them.... :screwy: :rolleyes:

Well, get the proper amp...you sir are FUCKIN CRAZY if you like them better off the HU as compared to an amp...

NG

PS: You don't need an eq either, is your HU zero-d out?!?!?

i didnt say i like them better either... i dont know who has been butt fucking you lately but tell them to get off... i was barowing an amp, simply to see what they sound like with an amp.... it was a sony 222...not great but the gains where low and only giving them 30w since, from what i have read, much more and THD goes through the roof

0ed out as in no trebble or bass alterations? no, the trebel is down about 2 notches and the bass up about 2 notches (pos 8" "rampage") for rock and for rap i play it as clipped as i can get it for as long as i can stand it, still trying to blow this POS but it just wont go...

oh, BTW your sig isnt very short anymore :uhoh: :lol2:

as for a sub stage, its pending...as soon as i get my vacume leak fixed and the $500 for my next insurenace payment (which isnt due untill october but i geuss better safe than sorry) i can make a sure decision...when you are a minor parents own your world :mad:
but its an SX 18 unless i can talk my parents into a XXX18...i mean its only a measly (yeah right, measly) $145 more... as for now i am doing cheap modifications, such as the Big 3 and exaust....

OK, I've been curious for a while now why you want an 18" sub in that little truck... The boxes required for those are huge, even sealed, and three 12" subs would have about the same output, right? I mean there's the obvious WOW factor of having a sub that big 4 inches behind you, plus you can get a couple Hz lower into the subsonic range. I'd just like to hear your reasoning.

Should have added a few smilies in there like...
;) :)
:confused: :eek7:

etcetera...

As always, it's hard to portray emotions/sarcasm/seriousness on the net. I wasn't literally yelling...I was puzzled about it being "harsh" off of only 30 watts...

NG

My CDTs are like that too... when pointed at you at moderate volumes, the tweeters seem to overpower the woofers/sub, and end up sounding harsh. When bounced off the glass, it reduces the volume and blends in the high notes so it sounds balenced. I don't know if this is a audio illusion, but that's what seems is happening.

a sub stage ? now that's funny

bouncing the tweeters off the glass just increases the treble by increasing the near field reflections .... and it also smears the image

:grinyes: :smokin: :)

I guess PaulD is clueless now too :rolleyes:

eh, this is outta nowhere but

i just got my 13kv.2 in, 350rms, 1 cu. ft. sealed, 90hz n down, 24db slope, pretty much the same settings as the type R......

i am not impressed, the type R had it beat in every way, it got louder and sounded cleaner

12" type R $115
13kv.2 $125 + $15 because the sub was DOA and i needed to pay to ship it back

should have just got the 05 type R for $120

Make your own thread ;) ;)

But yeah, I'll never buy eD again...period. :( Liked my 03 e-logo 12k's and my eD 8a, and my 15 SP...but the new stuff...and their service :( :disappoin

which part didn't you get ..... ?

a soundstage refers to how the intruments and voices are placed in front of you - sub bass is omnidirctional, so you're not gonna get much "stage" out of it

placing mids/tweets in close proximity to a hard surface will make them sound "bright" because the early reflections are so close to the actual sound. When you put tweeters facing the front glass, it tends to smear the image accross the dash.

OK, I've been curious for a while now why you want an 18" sub in that little truck... The boxes required for those are huge, even sealed, and three 12" subs would have about the same output, right? I mean there's the obvious WOW factor of having a sub that big 4 inches behind you, plus you can get a couple Hz lower into the subsonic range. I'd just like to hear your reasoning.

there are a bunch of reasons....
-1- 3 12's cost more.... say 3 atlas 12's is $435, oh and would require mot airspace than an XXX 18....
-2- i was thinking 2 atlas 15's...but that required more airspace than a XXX 18 as well
-3-one of the bigger reasons i am going for a huge bass set up is to make the following shut up:
-4-Dubass friend who thinks 4 w1v2's are the end all set up for under 1500 total for subs
-5-Dumbass audio shop who beleives a w7 13 is the end all in loud and clean bass with out spending 10's of thousands
-6-Dumbass kids around my school who call me retarded when i tell them i can get a sub with better SQ than a w3v2 for around $200 and still get just loud
-7-Dumbass kids who, no matter what i show then, beleive that Adire and RE is nothing but flea market trash :cwm27:

as for substage, its wrong to call it that, but what i mean is the stage of speakers that reproduces subbass frequincies. :banghead:

sorry if i blow up over stupid things, nsgm13, but im stressed over getting all of my lattin assignments turned in on time, school getting out, and final exams comming up along with tryng to keep up with my lab book in chemistry...alongwith a few personal issures at the moment... i feel like i am going nuts :jump3:

wait... an xxx18 can beat a W7....?

PaulD is right on both accounts. Sometimes I run tweets 180 degrees out of phase to help with the harshness but even that sometimes doesn't help too much depending on the product or setup.

PaulD, I was AGREEING with you. That after comment was made in reference to CB...when he called me "clueless" when I pointed a similar thing out that you did ;)

NG

I gaurantee mine will WALK ALL OVER a 13w7...any day of the week ;)

NG

Paul, what do you mean by smearing the image across the dash? for the most part insturment placement is general, not good by any means, being the poor acoustical properties of vehicles and me having only mediocure componets with the mids in the doors running off of a stock HU/POS amp. but if a symbol was meant to seem left-center it is pretty much left-center, not "smeared" across the dash.

PaulD is right on both accounts.

like that is anything new? :p

it will "smear" the image because you getthe initial sound pulse plus all the pulses right after it (a few mS at most) boucing off of all the hard surfaces. It will be like having a main tweeter, and several tweeters around it located where the hard surfaces are, making it sound like a single sound is coming from multiple locations. So instead of a point surface, it is streched or smeared across a wide space.

I guess I like it when that happens :p

i geuss i do to then, lol

I gaurantee mine will WALK ALL OVER a 13w7...any day of the week ;)

NG

what about a XXX 12 or 15?

this shit has been posted all over the web...look for it yo' self.

google it is

sorry if i seemed harsh, but its constantly noobs asking...its been proven that not only the XXX 15 but also the Brahma MK I 15 are louder than the JL dub7 13. the XXX 12 is not louder than the dUB7 13 but it will give a dub7 12 a run for its money. plus the XXX12 is more practical because it is DVC. JL pretty much set up the dub7 to only work with JL amps with funky impeadences.

its ok, im trying to avoid nubish questions, but ive never heard of RE or anything else aside from you standard brands, until i came here, and im glad i did. i was gonna use alpine subs, but not now, im going RE.

another notch in the RE whore belt, lol.
RE whores unite :puts hand in:
dont feel bad....i used to think audiobahn was da shiznit...now i know otherwise. ;)

i cant wait till i get the money together for these.... wait... where the hell do i found out how much they are?

Reaudio.com>Contace>Phone
call them, e-mial is worthless at the moment.

Come on over to www.caraudio.com ;)

My username is the same there too...

yeah, email to RE is pretty much useless... a week and no REsponse. Heh. As soon as school is out and I have a job settled for the summer, I'm gonna make my move for an SE 15.

well my pick would be an avalanche 15 but thats just me.

And the RE boner for this forum has officially begun... :grinno: :grinyes: :naughty:

Alteast it's a good brand.

im thinking 2 XXX 12 or 15 depending on box size, and then a Hifonics XX Colossus.... hehehehe

God it began A LONG time ago Jason...CB is the official RE bitch...he's like the RE prison bitch ;)

NG

well my pick would be an avalanche 15 but thats just me.

pick for what? my sub? ava is out of the question because of the 4ohm impeadece...and it is about $100 more than an SE 15.

Yeah, it's like $299 and then shipping... and it's quality probably isn't even as good as the XXX, which is what it's competing against.

they have great quality...a good compeditor for the XXX but Chad only makes htem SVC 4ohm with only 800w power handleing...where as the XXX is dual 2ohm (unless otherwise specified) and 1600w. thouhg the XXX is less efficent.

umm no the ava is dual 2 ohms too look on the website and they would suit my 900w rms amp nicely but ive seen two being run off 3000w rms before and very nicely.

RE is not the be all and end all ppl...

they have great quality...a good compeditor for the XXX but Chad only makes htem SVC 4ohm with only 800w power handleing...where as the XXX is dual 2ohm (unless otherwise specified) and 1600w. thouhg the XXX is less efficent.

Yeah, are you a dummy CB (oh...wait...) ;)

But ne ways, the AVA's are dual2's and to Dice...they ARE up to par with the XXX SQ wise...but the XXX will edge it out output wise ;)

Both are AMAZING woofers...

BTW, I'll be demo-ing the NEW Stereo Integrity D2 12 FOR FREE for about a week. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

nG

OK, sorry to assume things. I need to stop doing that. When ever I do, it gets me in trouble...

they are dual 2? damn it...so gone last night. i got started early for prom which is tonight....of course im only going to the after parties. i was thinking the atlas...what i know is SVC 4ohm.
