You bump a thread a month after it has died a slow, painful, and very overdue death, saying it needs to be closed? There for bringing it back to life?!?!? You = Smeg head....

Question>whats the greatest part of someones instructions to to do a good install. Answer> do a good install.
This is what i see as ironic and stupid.
Its better to say , there are reasons why a door install is good and why a door install is bad, and then list them.
Most of the people that know about rear output dynamics,venting,sealing,on axis ,off axis speaker profiles are not posting thier findings.Maybe they cant put a 100% figure on said dynamics, but they sure can generalise and thus make people think of these things before they go into the door and start their creation.
>In car Speaker angles, this is tough to predict as many champs will tell you of a speakers performance with on and off axis qualities, but in any case the angle of the speaker changes how the rear output is pushed through your door.
>Rear output speaker dynamics is a science , if the rear output area is confined or restricted it will change the charectoristics of the speaker. Design here can yeild benifits or destroy good charecteristics.
>Sealing the door has excellent ability to seperate the front output of the speaker and rear output.If this is done then you wont hear the rear output mixing with your sound quality. This is fairly simple and straight forward in principle.
>Venting is very scientific and as it involves the speaker specs/design, speaker placement , rear output angles and the door capacity.Venting can produce exceptional gains in performance and can take a speaker to its performance limits.
More venting , less venting, no venting , smaller enclosure, larger enclosure, all these things are apart of the SQ ideal in door installations.
>Deadning can be scientific as much as it is simple, vibrations can travel through deadened parts and still hold some energy to begin to vibrate the undeadened parts.Doors are similar in design and so a general instruction can be given and a person then sees the cause and effect by some one identifying spercific areas.
Generally the more performance you get out of your door speakers the more you will have to deaden.
This thread is a SQ thread to discuss these properties and others properties..Thats all it is?.
Go and try and flame the beginners section next time.........zion
Irony: the subtle opposite of what was intented. Therefore, this thread could be considered ironic (a steaming dog turd in the SQ forum...) however that advice is not.
As for the advice on sticking to the beginners section, that really IS ironic...
