Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

The new amp was installed and configured by Matt last Wednesday so I've had a few days to play with it. It's setup the same way as before with 4 channels biamping the component set through the Focal passive xover and the AT on one channel leaving one channel free. The amp is highpassing the AT at ab...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Thanks Bill. In case I haven't mentioned it already the AT was running off one channel of the Focal 6.900 (http://www.focal-america.com/wp-content ... Manual.pdf). So it was getting up to 150 watts RMS into the 4 ohm driver.

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Overdue update. Got my car back on saturday 11/19 after it had been worked on since the previous Monday. Matt helped me adjust the sub integration as I immediately wanted more midbass punch (kick drum in the chest). Running up the AT x-over too high however just made the bass localize in the rear. I...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Visited the installer yesterday to take some shots "in process". He had dynamatted the whole trunk including the lid and put it back together. No use taking any photos of that. I did get these of Ms. AT's new playmates however...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Pretty hard core CO! Those camera mounts are cool. So are you saying that you zero in on where the tweeters sound best and then mod the car to accept them in that position? Got any pictures of one of your builds doing that? Makes my automatic use of the stock sail panel locations seem lame...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Thanks again CO! When you talk about aiming tweeters I imagine motorized mounting pods where you can dial in the exact angles from the HU. Future tech I guess :idea: I asked my installer about tweeter aiming last night as we were sitting in my car. He thought the stock tweeters in the sail panels we...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Thanks CO, yes, the tweeters will be up high in the stock position next to the A pillars. One thing I have some reluctance about is choosing speakers with limited audition. I have heard this same Focal set in his Lambo but wonder how Hertz, Rainbow, JL Audio, Morel, DynAudio and others might compare...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

What amp and or external crossover are going with? Are you keeping the factory system or ripping it out? Not sure what to do yet. On my old 2003 accord coupe I took it to Rich's Car Tunes in Watertown and they replaced the factory speakers with JL Audio all around. Left the factory HU driving them ...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

I rigged a way to get some idea of what she'll sound like in the car. I pulled into the now cleaned up garage/workshop where I'd have AC power. I crawled into the trunk and tapped into the rear deck speakers taking a chance that their high level signal could be adapted to RCAs and accepted by the lo...

Re: Auto Tuba for Accord Coupe

Thanks Leland and ACUA. I found a leak in the access cover panel opposite the speakon connector. I had just eyeballed the placement of the cover and ended up having a screw not biting into the panel but uselessly going directly into the chamber. A reposition of the cover and rescrewing sealed it. So...
