• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Subs?

Reading that again...I hope you understand that I meant the EQ is entirely flat at this point. Through the head unit I took out the cabin gain and cleaned up the bass. Otherwise, that's about it.

The problem I think lies in the shape of the dash & console. Some lower voices end up coming clear from the right sdze of the vehicle. A higher female voice is centered like it should be. I'm going to try and place some foam in the space under the dash.

The DQS has independent R/L tuning. But it doesn't do any good moving from the trunk to the vehicle everytime I make changes. I have no way of making an a/b comparison. Unless I can measure freq's I'm going to have to purchase that DDC. My only other option would be grabbing the Alpine Imprint kit. I'm reluctant to go that route. I have no idea what it would do since it doesn't allow manual tuning. I'd hate to spend $150 just to find out it's auto tune doesn't sound good.

I meant physical dimensional measurements. :p

If your setup is still that crippled one, I don't see why you're trying to EQ it to make it sound good. Move the speakers. Its more work, but costs less money. ;)

You should ask a buddy to come over and help you with it. Or your spouse, child, neighbor etc.. Anyone you can trust not to take a hammer to anything or not do something they're not supposed to.
 
Because I change my projects all the time...I'd hate to tear it apart just to design a different system later. I'm already looking at trying to build some dash pods for a 3-way setup + sub.

Btw, it sounds very good at this point. Nothing I'd show off to anybody who really enjoys sq but to everybody else it's a diamond in the rough(very rough).
 
The whole concept is to keep trying new things till you find something that works. Based on what you learn you can draw conclusions to what will/won't/might work in the future.
