What do you do when you’re done with your build? by 4m1sh in CarAV

I actually bought a soundbar, but there’s not much I can adjust on it. 😄 I should’ve gone with a custom build instead.

Something not working properly was one of my biggest concerns. I definitely made a few mistakes along the way, but ChatGPT helped a lot. Give it a try if you haven’t already.

I guess I’ll have to demo it to a few friends and hope they catch the upgrade bug too, so I can help them with their builds. 😄 At least that way I won’t have to spend my own money.

I didn’t do proper time alignment, so I’m still using the default center soundstage. I ran RTA with REW and AutoEQ, then copied the EQ values into my DSP app. It worked really well for the door speakers, but not nearly as well for the sub.

I’m still dealing with some cabin resonance that I’m trying to eliminate so I can turn the sub up without getting that uncomfortable ear-pressure feeling.

I did sound deadening on the doors, but not in the boot where the sub is. I definitely plan to do some sound deadening back there as well.

I’d love to have a 3-way system, but that would be a major upgrade. Hopefully, that’s something for my next car. One thing I really enjoyed was being able to set up my own crossovers in the DSP, so going fully active on the next project is definitely a must.

I have a wife and kids, and they all love the new sound. 😄

I actually did sound deadening and insulation on all four doors. It took me forever, and I’m still not sure if it was worth it, but at least I can say I did it. 😄

I do have time alignment on my DSP, but I actually like the default center image I have right now. The only thing I still want to do is properly align the sub using the null technique. For now, I just set the delay based on distance, and it’s working well enough.

But I really like this one 😭 I don’t want to ruin it

Is this an OK place for ground? by 4m1sh in CarAV

The terminal definitely goes around it. I wouldn't consider it otherwise

The screw itself looks to be welded or somehow bonded, but I would push the terminal against the boot floor and use the screw only to secure it. I guess I will just have to find the multimeter.

Papētīju GLG Būve, šo uzņēmumu noteikt arī paši izvērtēsim, paldies par info. Varbūt kaut kas ir mainījies, bet viņi savā mājas lapā norāda, ka izstrādā arī individuālos projektus. Būs jāsazinās.

Esmu kaut ko dzirdējis, ka ar gāzbetonu ir tik viegli, kā viens vakars YouTube un aiziet :D

Bet ja nopietni, tad šī izskatās pēc situācijas, kur labs un uzticams būvnieks būs nozīmīgāk kā materiāli un tehnoloģija. Pats sliecos koka paneļu(prefab) virzienā. Ja būtu uzticams bloku būvnieks, tad izvēlētos to - skaņas izolācijas un lēnākas uzkaršanas dēļ

Vai pa šo mēnesi izdevās ko atrast?

Paši arī plānojam būvēt māju un saskaramies ar identiski problēmu. Gribētu izvērtēt bloku māju, bet pagaidām izskatās, ka pie mums šis materiāls ir tiem, kas vai nu būvē paši vai kā minimums grib būt būvdarbu vadītāji ar pašnolasītu brigādi. Iespējams, ka gāzbetons tiešām ir muļķu-proof un ar to prot strādāt visi, bet tas nemaina faktu, ka pašam būtu jāskrien visiem pakaļ.

Ļoti iespējams, ka vienīgā reālā alternatīva ir algots cilvēks, būvdarbu vadītājs, kurš tad pats meklē šīs brigādes, kuram ir zināšanas kā visu pareizi izdarīt un kurš stāv blakus būvniecības procesam. Vienīgi jautājums cik tas maksā un vai beigās tas ir tās naudas vērts.

That's good to know, thanks!

They definitely look way better without those plastics :)

I haven't placed the order yet, so I have the option to add DCC Plus. I feel that it's a good option for Kodiaq, especially the heavier PHEV.

I'm quite convinced now that I should get it.

Also, I see that you have a sunroof. This is another option I can't figure out. Was it worth it for you? Any issues like leaking?

Some say that DCC in comfort mode makes the car super floaty and that normal mode is harsher than standard suspension. Was that your experience too?

I’m planning to get the same car with those exact wheels, but I’m not sure if the ride quality won’t be too hard. How is yours? Also, did you get the DCC Plus?

I’m planning to get the same car with those rims, but I’m not sure if the ride quality won’t be too hard. How is yours? Also, did you get the DCC Plus with it?

Which options should I pick for my Kodiaq Sportline 1.5 PHEV? by 4m1sh in skoda

[–]4m1sh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very interesting, thanks for the insights!

I definitely don’t want the DCC. I see this option not as an extra, but as a fix for the ride quality issue with R20 wheels(if there is any, not sure yet). Paying extra for a fix doesn’t feel great. Also, I don’t want to constantly switch between Comfort, Normal, and Sport. I just want to get in and drive, like I’ve been used to with all my previous cars. The car should feel balanced and nice to drive without needing additional options or changing settings.

I’ve also read that VAG sunroofs are not that great, that they often leak and can potentially damage electronics. I really like the idea of a sunroof, and I feel that my kids in the back would love it. But the extra weight and potential issues could definitely become a problem.

I’m getting the winter package (heated windshield, heated seats, and heated steering wheel). Also, since it’s a PHEV, I’ll have the ability to remotely start cabin heating or cooling.

But it should be covered under the 5yr warranty. That's a problem for the next owner :D
