![]() ![]() The distance of the center image was perceived to be much further than the physical distance to my speakers. Everything seemed spot on, so it was time to listen to some music!Īfter many sessions of tuning, I was most happy with the sound of my current tune. I verified my imaging with absolute phase clicks, 31 band pink noise bursts, and the seven snare drum hit track. The entire left side was attenuated by 5-6db until the center image was placed center on the dash. Differential rear fill was applied (L-R) and the channels were delayed by about 20ms. Crossed over at 300 Hz and 3000Hz with 12db/octave Linkwitz filters. I also added in some rear fill on the GS62's. I raised the subwoofer level equally in order to maintain the 80Hz crossover point. Raw measurements with no EQ applied:Īfterwards, I added a +3db shelf filter with a Q of 1 below 160Hz in order to get some more midbass impact. I then optimized my levels and electronic crossover settings in order to closely match the crossover slopes acoustically. Crossover points were 80Hz, 400Hz, and 4000Hz. I exported JBL target curves with Jazzi's tuning companion. If I had to quantify it: 85% as good compared to parked.Īll measurements were taken with a figure 8 pattern at each ear for 30 averages each playing pink noise generated by REW. Even at highway speeds, I can now maintain an acceptable level of SQ due to the minimized road noise compared to stock. The GB60 midbass and GS62 coaxials are simply mounted in the factory locations with backwave dampeners and a gasketing material to create an airtight seal.Ĭhanging out the cheapo factory Kia tires to "reduced noise" aftermarket tires provided drastic road noise reduction on par with all the sound treatment (CLD/MLV). My trunk looks 100% factory at the moment. For now they will remain functional and hidden from sight. They are just stacked on top of each other (PDX series can stack). The amplifiers and DSP mounting do not have any pictures for now. I also have Second Skin Luxury Liner Pro along both footwells and the entire floor. I have about 80 sq ft of Second Skin Damplifier Pro (CLD) tiles spread out through all 4 doors (outer door skin and door panel), the entire floor, the trunk, and rear deck. Hope you guys enjoy and feel free to ask me anything in the comments or PM me. All pics were taken with my Galaxy S7 and Note 9. I've only used a router once or twice before this so I was learning as I was building. This build log would be twice as long if I included all the failing/experimentation that I did. All the work shown here was done in my driveway. Here is my build log thread, which is the culmination of what I've learned from Diyma and Musicar over the past several months. Nevertheless, being exposed to such a high level early on has set the standard that I will strive to reach one day. Unfortunately, I was struggling to be productive for the company, given my lack of experience, so I was eventually let go of. I learned something new every day from the informative, helpful, and extremely skilled mentors there. I had the amazing opportunity to apprentice at the best car audio shop in my city (Musicar Northwest) for about 2 months over the summer. I'm still learning everyday from the wealth of information on diyma and try to contribute as much as I can in return.Īround May I decided to change careers and pursue car audio. I was apprehensive about making an account and posting for the first time, but the feedback I received really helped me out and got me started on the path that I'm on today. Car audio was just a small hobby of mine, and all I wanted was for my car to sound a little bit nicer. I first joined Diyma back in January after spending countless hours failing to diagnose my engine noise in one of my first installs. ![]()
