i wouldn't could it customise!!! its bit, but i wouldn't say custom though cause im not in it for show so yeah, only personal use, no fancy stuff. what is cost me??? ummm.....errrr.....i'll pm you on the price :D

[anna1984]

hmm do u fink my car could handle a 15" in my lil hatch??

[ITRBoI]

geez.. dats sum hectic stuff then!!
with a 15inch sub? must sound awesome..
hmm do u fink my car could handle a 15" in my lil hatch??

your car will sound awesome cause of the design of the hatch it brings the bass forward to the front instead of going everywhere, but you need sound proof stuff though, it really helps the sound quality!!!after i done my sound it's adds 70 kgs to the car wieght, which im not really ghappy about it, but you pay the price for quality right?? :p

ive got a 12 at d moment but wud like an upgrade to 2x 12inch or jus the one 15..
wot would you recommend??

[ITRBoI]

depnds what you want to achieve?? bass?

[anna1984]

depnds what you want to achieve?? bass?

yeh id like more bass but not too much..

this is turning into a instant messenager lol

[ITRBoI]

hmmmm....one 15" should do the job

[Tu88y]

1 12inch sub in a Civic will do the job. Im running a 12inch Earthquack in my car and it does the job. But if you want really big power you should go for 1 15inch sub. Bare in mind the bigger the sub the bigger the box and the hevier your car will be.....

yeh i fink my sub i got at the moment sounds great.. but i just want abit of an upgrade... so guess 15" might b the way to go.. if i do decide to go for two 12" how much weight approx will it hold my car down??

[anna1984]

apologies to notorious_ahmie.. sorry this is meant to be your threat and im using it as its my own.. just got a lil carried away.. oppz sorry matey!!

[Tu88y]

Well Im not sure of how much weight you will have in the car.... It all depends on what material they use....

You might want to start a new thread

[ASSASSIN]

how much was the touch screen mate?

[ITRBoI]

just heard there is a sound off for quality, clarity in sound system!!!! anyone want to join in???

[notorious_ahmie]

apologies to notorious_ahmie.. sorry this is meant to be your threat and im using it as its my own.. just got a lil carried away.. oppz sorry matey!!

haha thats cool...i live on the north shore lol so ill hopefully be ready to go!



how much was the touch screen mate?

was that directed at me?:P

[anna1984]

wot exactly do the judges look for at the soundoff's?

[ITRBoI]

qaulity and calrity of the sound both tweeter,mid range and subs. That's it i think but not too sure cause i got told its for clarity and quality of sound

[mojo the flashy monkey]

and staging, install lots of little things to get more points like having a fire extingwisher and mounting the remote on ur steraing wheel

[ITRBoI]

[anna1984]

hey notorious_ahmie
how much u pay for ur amp? was it like $800?? or something like dat?
i just realised u got the amp i wanted but couldnt afford hehe
i ended up getting KX350.4 (i think thats what my amp is) because that was closer 2 my budget..

[Fhrx]

haha nah thats ok im happy to keep it :D

hopefully u guys get to hear it at some soundoffs

Dude, as a NSW judge can I advise you not to attempt competition just yet. There are a few things you NEED to do before competing in either SPL or SQ competition I'm afraid. ;)

[Fhrx]

OMG 1700?? for just ur splits?
or your system set up in total?

He is correct, that is just the splits. Speaker costs can go up to incredible prices. I run Rainbow Reference splits in my car (RRP$10000) and well sell high end brands like Morellion and Carva which range from $248000 to $3.3m...

[Fhrx]

ive got a 12 at d moment but wud like an upgrade to 2x 12inch or jus the one 15..
wot would you recommend??

Remember good quality (including loud but listenable) sound is all about enclosure design and power, NOT cone area. I can blur vision with a single 8" driver (and do regularly to prove a point to customers here). Anna, a single 12 is more than enough. If you don't have enough bass, get a better subwoober (eg IDMAX12) and a large amplifier.

Another common misconception is that large subs are only good for SPL. This is untrue as well. If your amplifier has the power to control the cone it doesn't matter what size the subwoofer is.

[Fhrx]

wot exactly do the judges look for at the soundoff's?

There are a few things we look for.

1. Stage and imaging.
The sound stage must not only sound wide and centrally equal, but deep and must possess the correct height too. This is only achieved by careful speaker placement, especially that of the tweeter. For more info regarding this see here (http://www.fastfoursforumscarclub.com/temp/fhrxstudios/faq.asp#12).

2. Tonal equality and balance.
The subsonic bass / subbass / midbass / midrange / treble etc must be equal. Nothing must outdo anything else. We want 20-2000hz equality. This is what I was trying to explain to you Ahmed. You have a lot of bass and not much else by the sounds of things. Systems need strong midbass and midrange to match the subbass and this is accomplished but high power (including earthing) and the use of sound deadening to stop cancellation. Read more about this see here (http://www.fastfoursforumscarclub.com/temp/fhrxstudios/faq.asp#27)..

3. Smoothness.
We don't want to listen to systems that blow our heads off or hurt our ears. The system must be smooth and pleasant to listen to so don't simply wack everything on full blast.

4. Finish and integration.
We look for a nicely installed system. Custom bits and peices also get extra points. The cables must all be run neatly and safely. The power cable must be fused and the earths need to be sufficient. We also check safety related things and a fire extinguisher is a must.

Does that help at all?

[ITRBoI]

hmmmm.....need fire extinguisher than i guess i have to get one than....thankx for that

[anna1984]

fhrx, wishd i had money 4 all that expensiv stuff but i dont plan on upgrading til ive saved a fair bit.. perhaps yaz can help me out wit what to get when i upgrade but wont be just yet.. neways thanks for all your helpful info..

Powering Pioneer Yellow Cone Kevlar Splits, and Pioneer Blue Cone 3-Ways

That's powered by a JBL 600.1 Grand Touring Amp
