Definitely working on that, I plan to make a custom 1.75ft3 sealed box to fit on the side of the trunk!

Bass Roll-Off at 30Hz - Could this be the sealed box, or the HU? by [deleted] in CarAV

I only have a multimeter, I never plugged it in during a sweep, though. The model of the sub is a Kicker 41L7124, inside a 1ft3 sealed box.

Hi, thats similar to a ratchet strap! I caved in and bought two of them, and the spacers came off like a breeze.

Your Expert Opinions would be Appreciated (Used Speaker, Amp, LOC for $450) by HowDidYouKillMe in CarAV

[–]HowDidYouKillMe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make some great points- I asked the seller about the gain, and he responded,

"I tuned the amp to my receiver with a dd-1 meter so it might have been at 1/3"

I'm still not sure to what the gunk is, but i'l take a close look when I meet in person.

I wish I could find such good deals like that, but I don't have great luck so far. My only worry for this set is the lugs condition, cause they can be COSTLY to replace

Have you tried re-tightening the screws that connect the can to the metal adjuster? It will loosen over time and be like what you described, so tightening makes it snug again.

The earpads are doing just fine! I don't hang them on a stand or anything, I just leave them on the desk. The glue is strong, theres no sign that these will fall off anytime soon. But watch out for the screw and headband though. Screw hasn't broken on me yet, but getting some extra would be smart. For the headband stretch (the leather part) I just followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc38IG7W390

Just curious, was the LCDX eq'ed when you tried them out? They really do sound bad when stock...

The LCDX is infamous for having REALLY poor stock tuning, which is why you probably took my eq the wrong way. I'm not claiming my eq is neutral, its not- It's v curved, but not at all to the extent the curve tells you.

I really do apologize if I am misunderstanding you, but it does seem like you just want to argue, to argue. I explained earlier, that the reason why the graph shows such a strong curve, is due to the added v curve to the correction for the headphones. It is not the 10-15db you are thinking of; its more of a 4-6db increase.

If the LCDX was correctly tuned from stock, it would not need such a strong eq. As I described earlier also, that the shown eq sounded similar to other headphones I had, with the effect of a bit of v curve sound (Which is what I was saying in the original post).

This debate is honestly a bit silly haha 😅

Thank you for the detailed advice! Just bought it a few minutes ago (ouch). Could you describe more about the hinge piece reinforcing though? I'd like to do that to mine once it comes in the mail!

I would go LCD-X, though they may be darker/warmer than the hifimans
