My new speakers

[yeoyk28]

Hi all, just sharing my new speakers on the A pillar. enjoy.

[Merceman]

Cool... Which focal model? Can I know your ICE setup? Running on 3-way active? Thanks!

[HYM]

Vets, WTVCCW?

[yeoyk28]

mine is a mix-and-match setup.

Amps : Infinity Kappa Four and db

Sound processor : Alpine PXA-H800

Componet speakers : Focal PS 165

Mids : Focal 3W2 Be

Sub-woofer : db 12"

The current set-up is driven by Infinity Kappa Four and db (cannot recall which model) from previous car.

Infinity is driving tweeters (from Focal PS 165, also from previous setup) and mid range (3W2 BE).

db is driving Focal PS 165 6.5" woofer and db 12" subwoofer (this one came together with the db setup).

After listening to the sound this morning (after last night excitement), realised that there are hissing and "aero" sound, will be going to the installer to get it square away. will provide listener's experience next week.

cheers

What is WTVCCW?

What is WTVCCW?

Alamak, just saw your other post on abbreviation.

Dun know that will void the warranty. also, my 3 year warranty will be ending in jun 12.

I opined that it will not because it is just a cover that is being work on and not the mechnism it is covering. but then again, mine is just a personal opinion and C&C will have their final say on such matters.

[yeoyk28]

My installer is Vincent from L-D auto supply. his place is at the old odean katong building, think there is a church there now.

do you know him?

Oh boy the last time I visited Vincent was back in 2006 ?

Got to know of them because a friend of mine was flown in to do an install using their premises and subsequently imparted some knowledge to Vincent as well.

Got your airplane and hissing noise solved ?

Was it an Aussie guy who also selling his self made passive x-overs?

Hahaha looks like you know him too. Indonesian-Aussie!!

Yes he was making quite a few of these crossovers back in '01/'02 with all the exotic termed components - elna, milspec silver wire etc.

He's no longer in the trade. Has taken up a completely different role after selling his car audio business.

Yanddy Lim(andinata) from Audio Art & Technologies. Did he bring his bulk pack of Dynamat too ?

Those days most of his clients were playing with xtant setups, dynaudio ESOTAR tweeters adapted for car use, IDQ subs, Naka CD-700.. all bragging rights hahahaha.

[kepiting1sg]

hahahaha! Yanddy Lim...that's right...it's him!

hi g8crasher,

Vincent, the installer, managed to remove the aero and hissing noises. he re-wired, insulated, shifted the sound processor away from the car wiring and some other stuffs. i'm glad those irritating noises are now gone. the next step is to tune it correctly and will do that either tmr or the day after. will update on listener's perspective after listening it for another week. if anyone wants to critic the sound quality, do let me know and we can arrange for it.

cheers

Dear all,

after driving and listening intensely for two days, the noises are back. will be bringing the car to Vincent this saturday for further trouble-shooting. will share the results of the investigation after that.

[yeoyk28]

Dear all,

Vincent added capacitor and one Line out (supposingly will increase the output to the processor) to the setup but the noises are not totally eliminated. still have slight aero noise and occassion radio interference. however, when the system is behaving, can really distingish the various instruments. this may not be a good thing as it is easier to discern CDs recordings that are less than ideal.

Overall experience is slightly above good and also realise our ability to pick up sounds when they are seperated via the three speakers.

cheers

Thanks for the updates. Hope you manage to get it resolved because these issues can be quite irritating!
