"Bright" Dynaudios?
I recently had a Dynaudio System 240 MKII installed into my 2002 Volkswagen
GTi. The tweets are in the factory locations (sail panels mounted in the A-pillars) as are the mid-bass speakers (the lower door). I've tried playing with the EQ in my Eclipse CD8443 headunit, but I can't seem to remove a "ringing brightness" from the tweeters on certain albums. Most of Joe Satrini's albums sound good, as did the various Jazz albums I tested. But testing with Joe Satriani's "Engines of Creation" as well as several albums by the Stone Temple Pilots, No Doubt, and The Smashing Pumpkins, the system exhibits a brightness and ringing that're very annoying and detracting. Does anyone have any reccomendations on how to fix this problem? These speakers should be far more neutral. |

Same car here but I use the 240 GT dyns. Try putting yout tweets on
the -2db setting of the passive xovers that come with the speakers. That fixed it for me. -Z "Steve Grauman" wrote in message ...

Hey wait...haven't I suggested biamping to you before?

You might also (finally) be hearing the music the way it sounds. When you
get a set of speakers as revealing as the Dyns, you'll start to appreciate your good, well recorded and well mastered CD's. The ones that were crappy or at least borderline will now make your ears bleed. dave "Steve Grauman" wrote in message ...

LOL. You may have, I honestly don't remember. I may eventually move the Zapco I've got down to just the mids and buy a 2nd amp for the tweets for bi-amping. At the moment, I'm kinda out of money. Remind me again what benefits will come of bi-amping? Or even better, weren't you considering an in-dash EQ for a while? I've thought about it. But no one has ever been able to clarify for me what an outboard unit will do that my deck will not. The Eclipse I'm using has full EQ defeat, so if I found a good enough reason to do so, I could defeat the deck's EQ and let an outboard do the work. |

What kind? In "Simple" mode, my CD8443 has a 13 band graphic EQ with a 1 band parametric and 2-way crossover adjustment. In "Pro" mode, I get a 5 band parametric EQ with 3 way crossover adjustment. Also, is there a specific outboard EQ you would unanimously reccomend? |

With 3 out of 4 Joe Satriani CDs it sounds fine, same with Eric Johnson's "Venus Isle" and selected Jazz tracks from the likes of Taj Mahal. But with Live, The Smashing Pumpkins and No Doubt, it sounds bright. Conversly, with Ozzy Ozbourne and Stone Temple Pilots, the high end ringing goes away, but it sounds "muddier". |

You've got 13 bands of eq and you're having trouble keeping it from being
too bright? Yea, although only on selected CDs. Maybe it's just the quality of the recordings, but it kind of sucks when 2 to 3 out of every 5 CDs I own sound like crap. The Klipsch I have in my room use the Klipsch Horn tweets, normally considered to be bright, but I don't have this problem with them for some reason. |

Liz (and everybody),
I've gotten hooked on this site: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2 (direct link into the Music area). Steve Hoffman is a very cool guy who is a Mastering Engineer. He will personally answer whatever questions you might have as to why most CD's today sound like such utter crap and what he does to avoid this mess. This forum has nothing but music lovers in it and the amount of info there is amazing. Steve's remastering work on classic rock, jazz and pop stuff is ear-opening. I've bought WAY too many CD's that bring a tear to my ear every time I try to listen to them. Once you go through his discography page (same site), you will start combing through your local used CD store with a whole new perspective. dave "thelizman" wrote in message ...

Steve,
Why don't you try a different tweeter mounting location? I have never personally cared for having the tweeter that far away from the mids and/or that close to my ears without being severely muted. Tony -- What's more likely? That an all-powerful mysterious god created the universe and then decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that he simply doesn't exist at all?

We have the exact same car - I put them in the same place as you and it was
a pain since they are fat! If you have your mids in the doors why couldn't you build little fiberglass pods an make "mini kick panels" by just adding them next to, not cutting factory kicks? I don't know how much dif this would really make - they are not firing directly at your ears, if you put them in the kicks they are farther away but fire right at you.

I used to have a Honda Prelude that I mounted the tweeters behind the stock speaker grill low on the door.

you build little fiberglass pods an make "mini kick panels" by just adding them next to, not cutting factory kicks? I have a 5-speed. Putting kicks down in the footwells that wouldn't prevent easy access to the clutch pedal would be difficult and expensive. The only other option I've got is to drill holes into the door next to the mids and put the tweets there. And I'm not particularly interetsed in cutting up my door. |

I don't think so. Although there's good clearence between the top of the woofer and the inside of the grill, there's a ring around the woofer that touches the inside of the door. I would have preferred to use kickpanels, but building a kick that wouldn't block the clutch pedal in my car would've been expensive and time consuming. OTOH, if anyone on the board knows what they're doing and would be willing to give me free labor, I'd think about it, LOL. |

In little pods on the a-pillars. Well, aside from biamping (my #1 recommendation), I have two other suggestions: 1) play with the phase of the tweeters - try both of them in opposite phase, then just one or the other in opposite phase. 2) inserting an occluder like foam or tissue paper can serve to emulate off-axis freq resp (kinda sorta). |

Well, aside from biamping (my #1 recommendation)
I'd love to, but at the current moment in time, I have no cash for a second amp or for the install. Unless I can sell off the old Neo Geo AES system I've got, or some of the other "vintage" game gear and comics I've got. I also have a VW CD changer if anyone is interested. |

I have a 5speed, VR6 as well. I had those crappy store bought kick panels
in my 1997 gti and had no problems with the clutch. There is a huge footrest on the drivers side and you could mount them in front of it. On the passenger side it doesn't matter. Look at this picture of a 2002 gti w/ 5 speed: http://w1.501.telia.com/~u50103050/2003/6/63-10.jpg you can't tell me there is not enough room for tiny kicks for tweets...

It took me a while to figure out where to mount my Dynaudio tweeters in my
Explorer. Too far down toward the floor and the soundstage seemed to drop too much. If you look at this page (http://www.morrisonphotographics.com/caraudio/) and substitute the Dyn 340 System for the Boston's pictured, you'll see what I tried as I positioned the tweeters all over the dash and the doors. Please forgive the lame page design. I finally went with the Dyn biamp xover option (thanks Peter Lufrano) and I've been extremely happy since. I had an PG eq232 (http://www.phoenixgoldcorp.com/eq232.html) sitting on the seat next to me for a few months and would tweak the settings constantly (gave me something to do at stop lights). All this was being fed by a Nak CD700 head (great unit) but I found that when I had the eq set the way I liked it, there was barely ANY boost or cut dialed into the signal.....just a slight cut at mid around 1k or 1.25k. Since the Nak has a midrange control, I dumped the PG and put a slight (and I mean SLIGHT) dip in the mid control to make this the best balanced system I've ever used. Active xovers would be the only thing I'd add to the system now (other than going to the Pioneer '7500 DVD head very soon) but I REALLY like the sound of this system. Oops, forgot to mention that a/d/s (thanks Pat M.) PQ40.2 powers the Dyns and P2110.2 powers the JL Stealthbox. dave "MZ" wrote in message ...

There is a huge footrest on the drivers side and you could mount them in
front of it. On the passenger side it doesn't matter. Great. Who wants to give me the free labor and pay for a rental for whatever time the install takes? A set of speakers with an MSRP over $1,000 shouldn't need to be moved around this much. |

Hey Dave.
Some interesting similarites between us. I used to have a '97 Explorer. I had my Dyns, Nak CD-700, EQ232, and Stealthbox in there just like you. The Dyns were active, though.

I think you're finding that out. Secondly, making fiberglass kicks is not an easy job. It also shouldn't be necessary to achieve good sound, though oftentimes it does help. But you'd have a hard time damaging anything by doing so. The question is...do you have the time to mess around with it? If so, you should give it a shot and call it a learning experience. It may take you a couple tries, but you can do it. It's not rocket science. Hell, moron installers can even do it. I've seen them, and some of them can even do it right! |
