Aim Speakers for BETTER Sound - On / Off Axis Response - CarAudioFabrication

Off axis always sounds more natural to me. On axis sounds too piercing to me

What about aiming 6.5” bottom of the door speakers in a 3 way setup, would it make a difference in sound being a lower frequency speaker?

Im my F-150, the door grills pop right off and there's the tweeter hole along with the stock speaker(6x8). I thought I'd buy a tweeter and just stick it in. Nooo-you need to think it through, then do a dry run. Now I'm thinking: could I use that tweeter hole for a mid-range? Then mount a tweeter up on the sail. This is starting to get fun.

You don't care for tweeters that swivel? I like them.

Which capacitor should i use to blocked the bass coming out from the tweeter?

Can you add Turkish subtitles to your videos?

Can tweeter be used without pods?

peerless xt25 tweeter dayton rs woofer

Why i cant find anywhere a good sound demo, from those facy expensive car audio builds? All are recorded with a phone

Im gonna face it directly to my face

You make sound installation so easy! But how does one get the equipment u r using?

On put two 8in in the passenger I have a 2002 Trailblazer Barn door but I don't know how to put them in and you tell me how to and I want to foot a 12-inch woofer in the back where is a 1 ohm amp power cap

No I've never had to do that

Thanks for the info!!!

So tweeters on the dash corner by windshield is off axis?

So I tried some 6.5" coaxials in the rear of my s13 (240sx hatch) and doing the towel technique I noticed a huge difference in sound quality having them pointing forwards rather than upwards into the roof/hatch. What are the thoughts of having forward facing rear speakers vs. just having them playing straight up?

like to see a video on types of tweeter and which are best for different applications

Great video saw a familiar tweet in a cut, do you use vifas?

Now how are you supposed to time align when the components are far apart and hooked up together

Totally out of subject but could u explain differences between square subs vs round???

What about mounting the tweeter flat on the dash, ie straight up into the windshield? Is that ok or just a bad idea to begin with? Many oems have mounted speakers up there, making it easy to upgrade and mount an aftermarket speaker.

actually, i use that beaming effect to make the sound 'centered' at both the passenger seat and driver seat. my technic is to aim the right tweeter to the right ear of the listener at the left seat, and aim the left tweeter to the left ear of the listener at the right seat. so at the one side, the loudness is reduced by beaming effect while on the other side the loudness is reduced by longer distance, and you get centered sound at both left and right seat.

Hey Mark, I was wondering how do you deal with A-Piller speaker pods that have Airbags in them?

Do you have a tutorial on how to make a pillar pod from scratch that a car dont have any. I have a 1985 Isuzu Pick Up and i dont have a premade pillar in my truck. So im wondering how would i make one that would fit in my truck on the pillars??? thanks and hope there is a way to fabricate one.

any different between mid ranges and mid bass?

Do you have any experience with aperiodic enclosures or have any resources to share?

Hi I was wondering if you had any good ideas as to what to get my boyfriend for his birthday , he's really into car audio systems and is building his own and I want to get him something related to car audio but I don't know what to get because I don't want to buy something he wouldn't want or low quality

So I only have Coaxials (Alpine Type R 68) in my doors for a 2006 Miata with swivel tweeters. Should I try to position the tweeters directly towards me or into the foot well?

make some tweeter pods please, that would be awesome :D

can you find a 3.5" with 16 or 8 omh subwoofer

Nice information, How about subwoofer position?

using "actually" too much, just sayin...

Mark, could you comment on separating mid range drivers and tweeters? I have a 71 chevelle I am working on and I am considering mounting the mids in the kick panels and the tweeters in the dash or a pillars. Does this negatively affect sq? or does it just come back to tuning still?

On / Off Axis Response is an verry intresting subject.

Mark can we get a instructional on recessing amps or crossovers in the seat backs of the rear seats??? thanks great videos...

question. I have an Eq with one input and a head unit with front, center, rear, and sub output. which one do I use or does it matter.

i enjoy instructional vids why because i can take that info into my future build

The best Car audio tutorials for build and application... Keep up the Excellent work.

good info. i like the SQ tips. all stuff i know but this is important stuff to know.

What happen to the rest of the jeep build

He shows speakers and I know both of them. And when I saw response curves I could recognize dayton RS100 just by them too haha :D
Yeah... Hardcore audio fan here :D

glad all this info is in one nice place. enjoy these type of videos alot.

Super helpful! :D

Oh damn. Were those Vifa/Tymphany XT25 ring radiator silk dome tweeters and 3" Dayton Audio midrange speakers? If so, what a coincidence because that tweeter is what I have in my doors (with the flange intact) and just yesterday, I was researching on adding a (very similar in appearance?) 3 inch/4 ohm Dayton midrange speaker, in a spot on my door panel by just cutting out the holes.
and screwing them on.

I'd then swap out my Skar Audio 6.5 midranges for good midbase speakers if the midranges sounded good, and maybe add 2 more 3" midranges.

Off-axis response is so fun to play with, isn't it? I like your towel idea! :D

thanks

That's great Mark I had no idea that information about speakers. I'll remember that when I get my crescendo pwx 6.5 and F1 super tweeters

When I had super tweeters in my a pillars I aimed them a little bit off axis so where they would not only bounce off the window if the window was closed but some what go outside the vehicle if the window was down it worked very well in my install for outside and inside the car
