your best sounding system ?
What was your best sounding set-up ?
My best was LCY 108's ribbons/ 12M Scanspeak midrange / JL 8IB4's rear drs/ and a DD 12G w/ a carbon fiber cone dual 1 ohm vc's in a sealed box. Played highs , midrange , midbass and subbass the way I liked to hear it . 1991 Ford Explorer !
Re: your best sounding system ?
My best sounding? Probably the one I have now. Not because of the equipment but because I finally got the hang of tuning. Lots of previous systems had a ton of potential but didn't have a tune worth a damn on it. My current system is my best yet in my opinion and is in my 2016 single cab Ram...
Pioneer 501ex double din
Helix dsp.2
Helix G-Five (sub, mids, tweets)
Zapco ST-4X SQ (bridged to midbass)
LPG aluminum tweets
Audiofrog gb25's
Scanspeak Discovery 7's
IDQ12v4 (smooth sub that's easy to blend and does everything right BUT is an air pig so getting replaced by a Dayton ho12 that needs about 1/3 the box size for a good sealed alignment. IDQ is headed for house duty on a big plate amp eventually in a BIG ported box)
Several told me that they liked my 2014 Grand Cherokee better for overall presentation. I can agree with that since it's a MUCH better platform for a system to kick ass. The Ram does more technical stuff correctly but the Jeep had more grunt to it and was an output monster. That's what happens when you have GOOD 6x9's pulling a good amount of MIDrange duty;)If I wouldn't have had to of traded the Jeep in for unfortunate reasons I'd still be running the same system in it except a Helix dsp would have probably been in there by now. After it got rearended things just got strange and understandably because it took a HARD hit. Deep down I wanted back in a real truck anyway so it was all for the best and got the high end suv bug out of my system. The system everyone seemed to love in it was...
Factory u-connect 8.4 headunit
PAC ampro sending CLEAN analog signal to the back
Minidsp 8x12
Zapco ST-5X ii (sub, tweets, rears)
Zapco ST-4X SQ (bridged to gs690's in doors)
Audiofrog gb10, gs690, and g12
Factory rears in d-pillars firing nearly on axis towards the front dialed in correctly for l-r rearfill

Re: your best sounding system ?
Every time I do a new build, I think it's the best sounding system I've had...
With that said; the setup that really made an impact for me (probably because it was my first DSP/active system) was:
2012 Audi S4
Front 2-Way: ScanSpeak D3004/6040 tweeters & Dynaudio Esotar 650 drivers.
Rear Fill: Focal Polyglass 165-V30
Sub: JL 10TW3-D4
DSP: Mosconi 6to8
Amps: Pair of Rockford T800-4 Power Series (1 amp for front active, 1 amp for rear and bridged sub)
Of course, the system that definitely sounds the best, is my current one:
Attachment 7162
Re: your best sounding system ?
Yea I also think my next one will be my best setup. Hope to complete this in the next month or so.
So far it will be:
Helix P 6 for 3-way front
Dynaudio MD 102 tweets
Dynaudio Esotar 430's 4" Mids
Morel 10" Midbass
IDMAX 15" IB Sub
Sub Amp: Zapco 400.2 bridged to 1325 Watts 4 Ohm.
Source Android LG V40 with USB DAC
Tuned by me with a little help from Dirac :D
Re: your best sounding system ?
My current system sounded great to me, but I decided to upgrade amps for more output and to see how much difference they make, if any. So far, I’ve been reluctant to attempt my own install, but I’ve been without tunes for a couple months, so I’m going to have to go for it. Plus, I’m searching for a truck to daily drive, and I have most of the equipment to put a system in it as well, so I need to figure it out...
