Guys..

For some reason, im leaning towards SQ in my VS right about now, must be a phase..

i start my work holidays tomorrow and was thinking about trying to make my SQ a bit better while i have lotsa spare time..

i currently have Pioneer Bass Bullet splits in the front and rear of my VS, running off a Philips XP-640, which puts out 4x80wrms, or 2x200wrms..

i was considering disconnecting the rear tweeters, keeping the crossover and running these off the rear channels of my Pioneer deck, high passed.. what cut off should i have??

with this, i was going to run my fronts off the bridged Philips amp for more 'front end'..
my 2 solobarics are pretty much set up for SQ anyway being in a tiny sealed box, so i thought about making the rest match..

Is my proposed 'option' gonna work and is it a good thing to do??

im well aware that a bridged amp isnt the best for good SQ, but i want to do this without spending any money whatsoever and utilising what i curently have, where all i need is time..

if i do bridge the amp, i will be getting about 200wrms a side, along with 400wrms per sub, so i feel that it may be balanced..

i want to hear your opinions guys, as im keen on this.. Oh, im also considering moving the front tweeters from the sail panels to the stock tweeter locations, similar to Stoked's Clubby..

I reckon your spot on with the more power to front stage.

Then I'd have a play with the tweeter locations - maybe even give them custom mounts under the heater vents on the doors for better staging. I've been tempted to try that - except I'd have to run tweeter wires into the door.

And sound deadening - I don't remember if you've sealed your doors or not - but that is such a good thing.

Then just play with crossover points - your mids will fly with heaps of power - so drop the crossover points to get more sound from the front speakers - and a bit less from the subs.

You've got heaps of options - I'll be interested to see what other people say as well.

i recon you sell off all your gear to sum bloke that lives a few suburbs away, and then start from scratch

im sure that no matter how you set it up it'll look and sound the goods

Thanx for the help John..
My tweeters are already wired in through the doors, so that tweeter mount may not be such a bad idea, but im a little unclear exactly what/where you mean..

Sound deadening is next on the list also, as i have 5 large packs of serenity comin down from Sydney.. that whould be enough to do Kel's boot (2 packs) and the rest for me..

At the moment, my deck is set at a 80Hz high pass, with the amps set there abouts as well..

And Glenn.. Piss off..

I need more help guys, as i wanna start this soon..

i'd definately go thru with your idea, that will boost SQ a fair bit, like suggested, tweet locations will also be a big factor

i have my tweets up near the air vents (in a VR, so doors will be the same), and while the stage is fairly high, there is a little bit of seperation, so wouldnt really suggest going quite so high...i have planned to make custom mounts for them so they sit on top of the woofer pods and angle up towards opposing head rests...but i havent played around with the pioneer splits, so i dont know how well they would image set up like that

but i would recommend definately playing around with tweeter locations, just stick a big lump of blu tac on the back of them and listen to a track or two...try not to vary the music everytime you change locations though as they will more than likely image differently to different songs

Thanx for that Madaz 929..

I considered puttin the tweeters on the door pods too, with the surface mount of the tweeter, to point it in the right direction..

John.. just been thinkin about it, are you refering to the spot where my volt guage is??
if it is, then thats a no-go as i cant do it and im not gonna redo the wiring through that "virgin tight" boot in the door.. Im thinkin about screwing it to the door there.. not exactly sure, but i will attack the blu-tac..
My problem with that is that i cant tell the difference with my hearing disabilty and my mate helped me tne it last time..
So, for me to test the best location, im gonna have to ask for some help for a day or so..

Where's Shiny hiding?? i want his opinion as i look up to him..

i agree to bridge the amp for the front splits. worth a try at least.

not exactly sure what you mean/plan for the rear splits. why would you want to retain the tweets and not the woofers? i'd be running the complete splits off the HU, faded heavily towards the front of course.

but set it up to your tastes. coz i can only say that your subbass is WAY too much for my liking.

it's pretty funny how you strive for SQ with a hearing impairment.
