I decided not to compete but it was still worth coming down for.

Nice. What percentage of installs had Mosconi amps? lol.

Re: 2016 Aggieland Invitational Part IV June 10th and 11th College Station TX
that Impala was pretty crazy sounding. I had heard it before and it again surprised me on how good it sounds
Re: 2016 Aggieland Invitational Part IV June 10th and 11th College Station TX

I listened to the Blazer on Sunday morning with a fresh set of ears right after we were both judged for the Money Round and let me tell all of you, it may be in the top 3 cars I have ever heard, #1 being the NASCAR, #2 being the Blazer and #3 being Mistress. It was so real, visceral and accurate that I forgot I was in a truck. The musical integrity of the instruments were unbelievable, just WOW......

Those pics were mine and that was me sitting it in. It was amazing sounding for sure.
I was talking to a mutual friend last night about the blazer and he said Steve pulled it off the trailer and fired it up for the first time saturday morning in its full configuration. Lots and lots of testing happened before, but it never had a full sound listen. So he set crossovers, minor TA, no eq and let it roll. They did some work Saturday night, but made it worse, so switched back for sunday. He got second in the money round.
What that tells you is a) testing, testing, testing pays off. b) if you look at the pics, you will see there is nothing between you and the drivers, other than the steering wheel. The dash doesn't stick out beyond the midrange and tweeters and only slightly beyond the midbass. The center console is just a couple inches tall.

It has Bang and Olufsen drivers up front. Pioneer deck, subs are IB, Alpine amps and I don't recall what for processing. It has really sharp imaging, a tad less midbass than most of us would like. It is definitely worth listening to if you ever get the chance.

indeed.
when people talk about "where should I put my tweeters" and others reply "test some spots out", that's exactly what it means. there are 'best practices' but ultimately you're dealing with a highly reflective environment so you are making choices based on the speakers' interaction with the car. tonality issues caused by placement choices in a car can often be remedied or lessened with EQ but staging is an entirely different animal. this is really where the 'try it out' notion comes in to play.

Oh Man, Steve always had a greating sounding vehicle now, I'm going to have to stop by next time I'm down there to take a little to it.. Are those Old School IDWs I see?
Re: 2016 Aggieland Invitational Part IV June 10th and 11th College Station TX
The Impala I believe has DBX processing
