    Good man.

    Unless this is the greatest red herring of all time, I'm not sure anyone will find this location, not with the street signs and department of conservation park signage in the way ;-)

    Speaker r recommendation for highs and mids (component)

    I enjoy a diverse range of music ^_^

     

    Vocal, accoustic, electronic, metal, classical, jazz etc.

     

    Will look into getting some dd drive speakers, although they look "current" so little chance I can score them cheap as I have done with the rest of my setup.

     

    Alpine do make sexy speakers, will have to compare at that price with Hertz I think.

    Just scored a prs-d4200f and prs-d1200spl to complement my 80prs :D

     

    I've heard though that the pioneer speakers aren't as warm as say Hertz, Focal, Infinity etc. Can't find an active car audio forum for NZ to ask, my Google-Fu must be weak. 

     

    Before I ask some installers, does anyone have opinions on speakers for good sound quality? Not looking for rear fill, only front tweeters, mids and a rear sub.

     

    Edit: old stock on eBay is very much considered! (I like saving money)

    What have you done to your car today?

    @Zenki the vpas12 I got today has 30Hz subsonic and the passive radiator slot on the back so maybe a little deeper. Fingers crossed.

     

    If it's not enough and I can get it in by Tuesday then I can always get another.

    But I've got a hatchback so not much other than that sliding plastic sheet seperating it from me.

     

    ill try front at 63Hz -24dB and sub at 80 -12dB as the sub already cuts -12 at 150Hz +/- 20%. But yes I'll fiddle for a week or so until it sound average across all songs.

     

    I do like that the gain dial while weighting less that a 10c coin, clicks nicely twice per marking.

    Oh and that the wire is Rj11 phone stuff so I can shorten it.

    Running it @ 4 or 2 ohms?

    Kelford b cams, and cnc porting plus all extras by Kelford. Oversize valves and springs etc. 

    How important was the headwork, considering you probably started off with STi heads?

     

    Reason I ask is that I too am going to run kelford B's, but on an EJ25 twin scroll with either a BW 300sx or holset hx35/2. (or whatever Murch says, to be fair) Looking for E85 at some stage, hence the question. Wondering if heads would only really start making a difference for E85?

    Up till recently, factory air recirculation system has been fine. 

     

    New engine will be running a Perrin heated air oil separator because ethanol 

    A hint! Looking forward to hearing about the "replacement".

    80PRS on gumtree

    It's the range where Pioneer actually tries for SQ.

     

    Depending on the music you listen to and how you want it to sound, this could be a good old fashioned head unit. It has active 3 way, time correction, a decent EQ and is of rather solid construction. It does have some positive reviews but I personally like the SD card and USB features along with the "clean" look. I can't afford the 99PRS, even if/ when I have my mid life crisis O.o

     

    That said, most people are perfectly happy with responsive and loud bass so it really comes down to what you'd use it for and how loud your particular Subaru rumble is 😉

     

    Note: you'd want you Dynamat the doors at least and likely use amps between head unit and speakers in a 3 way active configuration to achieve the vision intended by the manufacturer. 

     

     disclaimer: I'm no professional in car audio, someone else on the forum with audiophile leanings would give better advice.

    Boot lining, cargo blinds and dash cover.

    in Forester

    Posted

    This site has sorted me for Forester "SG" boot and dash lining (arrive at Xmas) Can't wait for Santa! (he's real)

     

    Keen to see if there is a reduction in sun glare from the dash cover as advertised, I enjoy my eyes not being burnt out. From memory 33% of glare comes from the ground, some other random stat.

     

    Any suggestions for quality aftermarket cargo blinds? Otherwise I'll resort to a second hand OEM piece.
