I would think not. Even if it were available it would probably be through select physicians. Of course you would also need to be diagonosed with some form of neuropathic pain...
erm, you could tell them you listen to sumookoo subs!! JOKE

Yeah, Delysid!

.. wicked!

Hpffman must be proud of you, my boy!

Hi all,

Got the Infinity ref5010c(components) today for my Lancer. The 9856 Alpine is driving the Infinity Ovals and the components in the front. I dont think the sound is balanced. The tweeters are fixed on the A pillar right next to the sun shades facing each other and mid in the speaker port with OE covers on.

There are NO amps driving the speakers.

Issue:

1. The mids are not audible in the front and I feel the tweeters shreek a lot. The ovals sound neat without the compos. I like to have the voice and the instruments crisp and not loose.

2. The compo's woofer emitts a thump sound.

Please give me pointers on the setting that I need to do to get that perfect balanced sound.

Thanks in advance guys.

keep the BBE to level 1 on high volumes and fade 2 points to the front

@ harmom; which car? and no mids frm compos? funny

any pix of ur install? Maybe you need to play around with the HU. Hows the filters set inthe HU?

Its a Lancer, JK and right now I have the Treble on 0 on 10khz and bass on 7 and 80hz. Also tell me if thump is due to strong feedback from one of the settings on the headunit? Iam no Guru on ICE, so plain english please .

Get rid of the +7 at 80 Hz, that's like trying to supply power to the speakers that doesnt even exist in the head unit. It must be clipping your speakers bad. And this causes the mids to get modulated. If the vocals are still low, hunt for the band that has the 1kHz or nearby frequency, and send the level up notch by notch till you find it right.

Also, in the crossover settings, use the filter to remove stuff under 50 Hz from the front speakers.

However, none of the symptoms can direct me to why the tweeter is harsh.

I havent used Alpine HU but I have heard its got a messy menu, and so would wait for others to clear you doubt.

And is bass set @ 7 ( max 10?) , if so it would be too much I guess. And if the bass in not tight, you may need damping for your door( bad install?) or maybe a case of bad wiring.

Lets wait for comments frm Gurus (wouldbe partying nw :( weekend na
)

JK on the Alpine menu, I should say its a pain down there.

BT the cross over setttings, do i have to fidget on the crossover box? I dint get to see the box and the settings on the same, cause i left the car with them and left for them to fix it.

No Harmon, don't do anything with the crossover box (I suppose you mean the passives with the Infinity kit), just as yet. And also ensure with your installer that he hasn't either.

Grab the manual for the Alpine, figure out how to get into the crossover settings on the HU, and do as I suggested above and save it to some preset.

Also, are the comps in concern 5.25"? A Lancer takes 6.5" comfortably, and that's the size that should go in. If not, there shouldn't be a gap between the speaker frame and the door frame. This can cause cancellation and cause bass to sound lifeless.

Hi... I think this headunit has no option of setting the crossover frequency. Why don't you check with the setting, defeat on

Will check the HU settings BT, He did not have the 6.5 in stock so went for the 5.25" and the speakers are fixed on the original mounting, so they are hidden inside behind the OE speaker cover. Do you want me to have the speaker fixed on the pads with a spacer rings?

Oh, ok. You should have waited for the 6.5"ers man. If the space is available, why use something smaller?

Please have the covers removed and check that there is no gap between the speaker chassis and the cutout in the door. If there is, then you need a suitable adapter to seal it out.

There is a space between the OE cover and the speaker mount. Should I have the the speaker pulled out and mounted on a spacer ring in such a way where the speaker is not hidden behind the door pad. Would this help?

No No B&T he should have demanded that 6.5" be used or he was going else where. You'l be surprised how fast the right components appear if you threaten to take your business elsewhere.
