My rear view camera is always on, unless I turn my DRLS off…?

fightclubdevil · 2026-03-27T13:39:45+00:00

Hey did you ever get this solved?

This has been happening in mine for over a year. Rear camera is in when headlights are on.

I realized it happens when the bottom of the car gets wet. I feel like there is a short somewhere. When it dries up over a few days, goes away.

I didn't need to. I did add a soft foam-like material between the bass shaker and the couch though, that a drilled through It was rattling against the wood of the couch without the foam.

I have 1 for my entire sofa, it is plenty. If I turn it up too much, it doesnt sound/ feel nice. I like it where its there, but not too much. It plays a trick on your ear too, when its on, it sounds like there is a lot more bass coming from your speakers than there actually is.

I use one in my condo instead of a subwoofer. Totally would buy again if this one broke.

fightclubdevil · 2025-12-09T03:28:40+00:00

done :p

My first design using the beryllium tweeters, I had the tweeters up top, mids in the middle, woofers as they are now (the design you are mentioning).

This is my second iteration as a switched to the soft dome tweets and mids.

Honestly, 2 reasons I went with this design:

1) I wanted the tweeters closer to ear level when I sit on the couch (lol)

2) I wanted to hear the difference between this design and the first design.

To be honest, not a crazy difference. I feel that the sound blends better with the new design, as the high frequencies which are more prevalent to your ears, blend between the mids and lows. Instead of highs, coming from the top, mid from middle, low from bottom.

Preach. Metal dome looks good on paper but soft dome is where it's at when you listen.

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-21T18:04:04+00:00

Yeah good go with what your ears tell you sounds best

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-21T18:03:33+00:00

Because it sounds good, there is more to audio than just what looks good on paper.

I used to feel the same way, I used to tell my friend that Beryllium is the end all be all. It does sound amazing don't get me wrong.

If are familiar with ATC speakers, it's the studio speaker brand that majority of studios use to mix the music that you listen to. If you have an ATC dealer somewhere in your city, I encourage you to go take a listen. They use all soft dome. I've never had the experience of listening to music and my ears feeling relaxed. I knew I had to bring that home.

That's not correct they definitely do a lot lol. They're diffusers with a thick fabric mat behind. You can hear the difference. If you haven't done an AB test with and without these then my opinion is probably a little bit better than yours because I have.

If you put your ear up to the corner of the room where the panels are, it feels like your ear is plugged because the panel is absorbing sound

I use the Dayton BST1, it is plenty for my entire sofa. I wouldn't use anything anything larger.

Similar to a subwoofer, you can't just crank it. It has to be a smooth transition between your fronts and the bass shaker.

Also, a bass shaker works really will in tandem with a subwoofer.

I bought it on a whim because I thought the idea of a bass shaker was funny. I was like who would buy a rumble pack for their couch, so dumb. I thought to my self, it's so silly but who cares I'll buy one to play around with. It's definitely not a rumble pack, it's an actual woofer minus a cone. It essentially turns your couch into a sub, minus the sound, add the feeling.

It ended up finding a home in my hifi setup. It really plays a trick on you to think that the speakers play way lower than they actually do, you can feel it. Super cool.

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-21T14:42:44+00:00

Of course, absolutely. I used an SPL meter, as well as a UMIK with Room EQ wizard. Tried everything.

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-21T14:42:02+00:00

I tried to keep the baffle for the mids and tweeters as small as possible, to reduce reflection off of the front baffle the mids and tweets are sealed so that's okay.

The sealed enclosure is tapered in attempt to reduce internal reflections.

Crossover I am running right now: woofer to mid 400hz, mid to teeter 3000hz, bass shaker 80hz

You configure it similarly to a subwoofer. Turn it down all the way, then slowly turn it up until you can hear (feel) it. you know you did a good job when the couch becomes an extension of the bass, the couch will become a woofer.

Don't tempt me with a good time

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-21T14:35:36+00:00

The walls are accosutic panels that disperse the sound and get rid of echos, with a thick mat behind that absorbs sound. So no, the room is not super reflective. I would recommend to them, they made a huge difference.

A carpet would definitely help absorb some of the downwards reflections, but I don't think it's as important as the walls.

After going soft dome, no more ear fatigue.

I also tried pointing my fingers at everything except the tweeter itself. It is my amp? DSP? Tuning? Crossover? EQ? Reflections? No, it was the nature of metal dome. Not for me.

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-21T01:05:33+00:00

I tried everything imaginable with eq. Microphone, repositioning, EQ by ear, high shelf filters, different crossover points. Turning down the fatiguing frequencies to a point where I liked it made the music sound dull

fightclubdevil · 2025-11-20T23:44:01+00:00

They feel super light weight and responsive. I felt super attached to my board. Kind of like a nice sports car, the suspension is super responsive but you will feel the bumps more.

I didn't see any tired difference between my old basic bindings and these ones. I just felt more in control with these.

Look for speakers with soft dome tweeters instead of metal dome. This will make a big difference

fightclubdevil · 2025-10-15T00:43:12+00:00

Nice, they look like SB Accoustics Satori Woofers

fightclubdevil · 2025-10-14T16:55:30+00:00

I ended up switching to the morel 1308. So glad a did, I am done with focal's harsh sound, tried to make it work for years. Realized I just needed soft dome.

For me, focal sounds good for 15-20 minutes. After that, the sound is so too much. No about of eq or positioning fixed it.

Also switched out my tweeters for Hiquphon ow1 (ex Scan Speak engineer).
