RTA that thing already!! Like I'm one to talk! LOL I do want to see what kind of frequency extension and output you have in the lower octaves. Did you resolve your lack of subbass or midbass? Do you get bad resonation with the back panels and rear shelf? I need to dampen mine,just no time!!

Great setup up though. When I am back in Boynton beach, I will drive down and we'll have to audition! Might be pretty soon!

The hole will be covered with a panel, NOTHING will show.

Midbass problem is fixed, now it is nice and punchy. No resonation, the entire car (including the panels) is deadened. I still have the hiss though.

As long as you come after december 12 I will be OK to meet. That day will be the last day of class for my MBA, I am DONE!

Let me know when you stop by, maybe we could tune both cars, I have the RTA software (a couple of programs including TrueRTA full version and roomEQ) with a Beringer RTA mic, cables and everything.

I did not hear the noise I hear in the video when I was in the car. I think the issue is my cheap camera.
