sweet ride! i would recommend upholstering the box in a similar material / colour as the seats.. to make it blend in nicely..

Blits- Is there something wrong in choice of speakers? there supposed to be for midrange, but when you said that, i feel like there not?

i suspected it was a trini born installer since if u carry that by a american installer he wud be like like :shock:

... "er dude wtf is it u really want me to do with rcf !?" ...... :mrgreen:

hey rovin, was the selection on those speakers good? cuz i want them for voice, because i already have alot of bass!

Postby **- Rovin's car audio -** » August 1st, 2009, 11:46 am

i not sure since i dont do many loud speaker installs

what u need to do is look at d freq bandwidth of each speaker & bandpass each so that they wont be playing similar freqs - ur installer supposed to know that & know what he doing

what i did for my carshow noise set was keep it very simple in a 2 way set up - 2 10s RCF 750 & 2 N850 drivers : u get from 70hz all d way up .....

iight well we'll see what happens, i just hope this installer makes this damn car sound good, cuz i spent too much damn money lol

No no those are great mid speakers man... but what I meant is that they are made for use in Pro Audio applications. That does not mean that it won't sound good in a car... its all in the install.

how come you using such little processing
for a system dat size you should at least have a 30 band to help you tune
what are you using for high mid an highs

^^^ why a 30band?

i thought less equipment = less problems

Postby **- Rovin's car audio -** » August 1st, 2009, 10:51 pm

how much do they charge for installing stuff up there ? ....

djlegac · Postby **djlegac** » August 2nd, 2009, 5:31 am

30 band??lol i think thats too much no? i can get a 30 band actually from my friend, but i think a 15 band will be more then enough. what do you guys think about me adding a drive rack by the way??? well rovin i think a typical installer would charge about 12-1400 to install, im getting it done because of my uncle for a grand.

theblitz · Postby **theblitz** » August 2nd, 2009, 9:24 am

15band is OK. Its what suits your tastes actually, if you think the 15 band isn't cutting it then try out the 30. Theres no rule about how much equipment you have and EQs. The more you change a signal you deviate from the original intended sound anyway.

With fabrication etc. you are getting a good deal even if you had to pay $1400 :shock:

thats us eh^^^^ :lol:

Postby **- Rovin's car audio -** » August 2nd, 2009, 10:48 am

y im asking is to get a perspective on how they charge in d usa compared to here in trini

so thats about tt$6000 ...im sure here there r installers who wud probably do it for even 1\2 d price ... ppl here in T&T r too damn cheap to have some1 who knows what they r doing to d install

imagine if i tell some1 over d phone as little as $600 for a custom spec box u him hear say "hmmm soo much for a box !?" .... i know in d usa box goes for us$200+ yet ppl here want it for next to nothing ....... :roll:

(...Rovin...), you have to remember to those guys have mecp standards etc behind them

I not saying your product isnt worth the price but the installers in the US have a justified cause to charge what they do.

djlegac · Postby **djlegac** » August 2nd, 2009, 7:44 pm

i personally am happy with the price and i have already forked out the money, for everything and just hope my system comes out the way i want it, hits the way i want it, and sounds the way i want it lol!!!! then ill be one happy camper lol and can get over the fact i have no backseat lol

djlegac · Postby **djlegac** » August 2nd, 2009, 8:18 pm

anyone got any feedback on the drive rack?

theblitz · Postby **theblitz** » August 2nd, 2009, 11:21 pm

why do you want to use rack equipment after all that you listed? Someone told you that you should?

I'm not saying MECP isn't good

But I've seen cases here in Trinidad, where shear experience and skill win. To these People MECP certification isn't worth the paper its printed on. If they were to honestly run through the entire Process straight up to Master Installer, the Gain would be less than marginal.

I agree with Rovin, Trinidad=Cheap.
