I find the other speakers are ok, but the sub could do with some improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my bass about 2-3 notches below full and the treble is the same. Also have loud on and set on Studio. Have fade set 2 notches to front. Even the most demanding metal (soulfly, iced earth, Opeth, Fear Factory etc) with bass etc copes well to about 14-16. What do you expect from an 8" subby? The first thing I'd change is the subby, but for what it is, it does a remarkable job, especially when watching a Movie with heaps of explosions in the car. I know that it is capable of rattling the rear spoiler quite well. As far as australian factory car sound goes, premium is the best. All that said, compared to my previous 135db+ setup in the pulsar, this system can't touch it. Why? because on the previous system, even the worst recorded albums sound brillient. With the premium sound if the recording is substandard, so is the sound output. My first step in upgrading the premium sound is to install the hypobaric twin 10" subby enclosure that the pulsar had (that's what produced 135db+ from a pissy 50watt, continueous, amp), into the xr. Then add a decent amp for the subbies. After that maybe add some better speaker+tweeters then further down the track amps for the rest of the speakers. If you want amazing sound, you'll have to pay more than the $950 that the premo sound costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob^ Member 170 Member For: 21y 3m 21d Location: Geelong Posted 06/10/04 09:29 PM Share Posted 06/10/04 09:29 PM Agreed to some extent. I'm working on sub-bass first then install the new fronts and amp at a later date. Here's how the boot kinda looks now. Well the half built enclosure anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYOPA Team Blueprint Donating Members 312 Member For: 21y 3m 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 19/10/04 12:37 AM Share Posted 19/10/04 12:37 AM HI Everyone, as promised I finally ran a few tests over the weekend on the system and came up with the following.I tested 3 songs and measured the loudness using an "a" weighted scale. This approximates the human ear at around 40 phon.. any hoo har.. getting a litle technical there, its like what we really hear.So when the stereo is cranked up to 25 with no EQ, compression or any other shaping (loudness etc) in the premium system I came up with the following figures.Song 1 , Jamiroquai canned heat 107-112dB peaked @ 121dBSong 2 , Anastacia I'm outta love 105-112dB peaked @ 122.2 dBsong 3, ACDC Back in Black, 99-107dB peaked @117dBSo you can see that its pretty loud. to put it in perspective, the following table shows how loud for how long till permanent hearing damage starts. 85 dB 8 hours 88 dB 4 hours 91 dB 2 hours 94 dB 1 hour 97 dB 30 minutes 100 dB 15 minutes 103 dB 7.5 minutes 106 dB < 4min 109 dB < 2min 112 dB ~1 min 115 dB ~30 secSo as I suggested for all of those of you who like their music loud turn it down a bit.It simply means that you will be able to listen to it for longer, not just in the short term, but for the rest of your lives.Last thing (which surprised even me) was that at this incredible level there was no audible distortion coming from the system... and I reckon for $1000 that's pretty good.anyway my 2 cents worth :flameman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest richard_mmmm Guests Posted 19/10/04 09:16 AM Share Posted 19/10/04 09:16 AM NYOPA, what you should also add is that; for every 3db increase the actual "loudness" doubles (sounds twice as loud). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
