Ok fine you sound like you have all the answers... you keep on going with your ghetto install

I guess you just don't care, which is fact fine with me. I don't have time to teach someone that doesn't want to learn. Have fun.

Oh and I know that wearing headphones is illegal... I was simply making a point, that you clearly missed... Here I'll spell it out for you. If you have one speaker from a sound stage that close to your head then that's the speaker your going to hear the most. You can try and tune it out with digital correction... but that's just way to damn close to your head.


Tell that to the next deaf person you met. You can drive without being able to hear you know... people do it all the time.

Well no kidding... I could have told you that before you spent a dime. But like your brother you sound like you have all the answers already.

You both baffle me.

And lets just set the record straight. Some people here like Spods, some don't, I don't. Some people have been here a long time and try to help... (Look up EJ here, you'll find out who those people are),... and then some people don't.

To each there own. If you like the ghetto setup you have good for you.

 

Well I think that is a big problem with our country viewing driving as a right and not a privilege. If you are not able to operate a car safely wether it is your inablility to stay sober, you were dealt a short hand and can't hear, or a variety of other reasons. You shouldn't be allowed to drive.

I would love to have an EJ give me a solution to being able to hear my stereo with the top down and have an excellent sound stage. I have been surfing this forum for a couple of years and have not seen one presented yet.

 

The spod creates a type of enclosure for the speaker to work with.. your setup has the speaker sitting in an 'infinate baffle' which im sure the speaker wasn't designed to be installed that way..

If it sounds good as it is now, then it can only get better in a pod of some sort.

 

i didnt ever say i had the answers. i even asked you to give me an explanation on a good sound stage. I even said that you were right on having the speakers too close to my head would be bad. I dont want there to be conflicts but you are making some. some people are freindly here and others are not. you are not

 

Wow we are dealing with some close minded people hear... I'm going to go eat and come back and post something useful...

 

whatever i like my stereo.

 

Sorry to go a little off-topic but it is somewhat relevant.

I've got a question for you darkknight.

Instead of running a single 5.25" speaker in each headrest. Would it help to run 2 sets of 3.5" speakers. Meaning have 2 speakers behind each seat?

I'm not even sure if it would be feasible to do. But I would think it would sound better.

Opinion?

 

That is similar to the solution Mazda had in the miata seats and Honda added to the MY06 S2k's. It would be hard to fit two 3.5"s in there.

 

Ok I won't waste my time with you then.

As for vtec_at_9000, You haven't been hanging out here then looking and reading about different ways to have a great sound stage in an S. I have an awesome sound stage in my car as do MANY others here.

I would think both of you guys have been around long enough to read the FAQ section and find out enough here to build just about any kind of sound stage setup your looking for.

The EJ's that are here are more than happy to help people out and teach them different things. We have people in the retail end, electrical engineers, people that help here because like have enough experience from hands on to know what their talking about.

As for what you think of me... well I'll just say that I try and help out here as much as I can. Ask around about me for yourself, you'll find your wrong about me.

but whatever... you like your stereo and that's all that matters

 

Well you could do it, I don't recommend it however. You'd have to cross them over properly for them to sound right. I've heard the Miata version and I'm still waiting for my local dealer to get another 06 in stock... actually that should be this week...I'll have to call tomorrow thanks for the reminder

If you were going to do something like that you'd be much better off installing a 3 ways setup instead. You'll get better sound, and it will be much easier to amp them and cross them over properly.

Are you thinking about doing something like this? If so I highly suggest you look at a set of 3-ways for this type of configuration, as you'll have much better luck with it, a LOT less work and money.
