I picked crossover points at 80 / 300 / 2500. These measurements are after crossover and eq, with the target curve. Left tweeter. Right tweeter. Left mid. Right mid. Left midbass. Right midbass. Sub. Not perfect, and not sure what happened with the left midbass, need to revisit...

Moment of truth, how does it measure? All measurements are 1/3 smoothing. Left tweeter raw. Right tweeter raw. Left mid raw. Right mid raw. Left midbass raw. Right midbass raw. Sub raw. Overall I was pretty happy. I was really happy with the mids. Subs not so much, very peaky, but...

I was not sure on the aiming of the tweeters so I temporarily mounted them. They are pointed towards the center of the windshield, mostly off axis. Subs installed, I forgot to put in the threaded inserts, so I will need to do that at some point. The subs are very close to the bottom of the...

It has been a while, been busy but didn't take time to post. Dash speakers were next on the list. Had to make room first. Stock tweeter mount. Not the prettiest of holes, it is a tight space to work in, but it does the job. Baffle test fit. Speaker test fit. I did have to heat the vent...

The problem is that to be sold to most users, it would have to fit with all of the factory panels in or replace the ones not used. I would think with modern 3d scanners and large format printers, a solution could be made fairly easily. But, I think the time to engineer this for mass production...

The sub enclosure was a process. The top was trimmed to a rough height, then built the baffle. I attached it first with resin and filler mix. More layers of fiberglass around the top, followed by more filler. Then a coat of resin and filler on the inside to add more strength. Had to do a test...

Amp rack is in and wired. It felt like 10 pounds of wire in a 5 pound bag, but I was happy with the result. I used the factory jack mount for my grounding point. I ran a ground to the factory battery ground to one of the studs. Also installed the subwoofer enclosure. Finally the back seat...

Thanks. It is pretty quiet. I will take measurements once the back seat is in, which should be this week.

Today was RCA day. The amp rack is in, pictures coming, and measured for RCAs, cut to length, then installed ends. Pile of wire and ends. The process is to solder the ends, then heat shrink under the strain relief, heat shrink over the strain relief, then the end cap goes on. Left...

I piked up a pair of Morel Hybrid 6.5" drivers and a pair of Morel MT230 tweeters. The VWB25.4 is not available separately from Morel as of yet. I decided to stick with the SB Acoustics SB10PGC21-4. Working on the mounts for the tweeters. I didn't love the factory press fit holders...

The last major part of sound treatment was the rear doors. These were not nearly as nice to work on as the front doors. But since there is no speaker in the door it is just for rattle prevention and a more solid feeling door. Before inner skin. CLD Lite applied. Vapor barrier back on...

I have not heard of Canopus. From what research I have done, you don't want the foil to have shapes in it or folded over, the foil works best if it is flat. I don't think there is data that shows how much of a difference it makes. I also see lines that the rollers leave and no one seems to care...

Upper C pillar before. Stinger Silencer. Thinsulate. Rear panel before. Stinger Silencer and some new CCF. Panels back in. The sub enclosure does come out with the panels in. The Stinger Silencer is not nearly as nice as the Resonix CLD Lite. The foil is not as thick and the butyl...

Interior panel treatment and assembly. Lower B pillar before. Applied Stinger Silencer. Thinsulate to finish. Stuffed the area with folded over thinsulate then applied Resonix CLD Lite. Kick panel / sill cover. Lower C pillar before. Stinger Silencer. Thinsulate.

Finished the last of the wiring runs to the front, the signal wires to the input of the PS8 Pro DSP. Measured the length and put on the RCA ends on the DSP side. Prepped and ready for install. Ran through the factory guides to the kick panel. Under the fuse box where the remote splits...

Everything you hear, read, or watch should be taken with a grain of salt. I am no means condoning changing to a higher viscosity, but he did have some good points of discussion. Which I mistakenly thought we could have on this forum. It is fact that a lower viscosity oil will provide better...

STOP Following OEM Oil Advice (GM Recall Proves Why) With the hybrid 2.5, it seems to run cooler, and probably less load, a thinner oil is probably beneficial. He also states the lower viscosity oil has a greater affect on MPG in city driving, which is less of a concern in a hybrid. Towards the...

The roof was the last big are that needed treatment. It might have been my least favorite too. Partly because I had to work around the headliner. I did not want to take out the front seats, and there was no way it was coming out with them in. Also working above your head is never fun. They...

The Passenger side gets the same treatment. Outer door skin CLD and Duct Seal. Inner door metal CLD Lite and fiberglass inserts. CLD and Duct Seal Thinsulate

The doors will still drain, nothing I added will absorb water.
