Re: Babs' 08 Honda Civic Si Sedan
Got about a 1/3 of a day to try to carry on buttoning up this thing. Pretty or not I just want to get it all back in at this point. Got subs, rear deck, rear seat, driver seat and a bunch of panels to go yet.
I find that much of car audio delays comes with working through poor past decisions. The choice of a stiff insulation and stiff jacket speaker wire choice throughout the car being a biggie.
This mediabridge wire seems to be reliable and tough enough but it’s absolutely garbage to work with in a tight spot. Because I was running some dual voice coil midbass at one point, the midbass wires are actually 4-conductor making it that much more a PITA.
Had I to do again, I’d have run stinger 16 awg or even 12 awg throughout. The 12awg I ran at the amps is a 1,000 times easier to work with, and I suspect a more appropriate strand count. Lessons learned.

This was roughly an hour and a half, EQ'ing each driver, summing a flat response down side, then repeating on the other side.
TA was mostly by distance with some ear work as well. Here's the whole system:

So I have to blow the dust off the tuning skills but it's starting to come back to me. I still think I need to work on midbass region a good bit more and see if I can tighten it up.. Such is the agony of door midbass. All in all though, it's starting to shape up pretty good. So on power and fidelity... I might have a great many problems, but enough clean amp ain't one of them. LOL! These Z-LX's get the job done. Of course I have a decent bit more output, but the stage is now bigger, detail, separation, etc etc.. All better. The car itself, the volume threshold for rattles, and the nut behind the wheel are the biggest weaknesses now. I have to exercise great restraint with the subs now I find, or I can literally make the deck do things I've never heard before. So there's plenty there to pull back if I can get the midbass ironed out so I can put the subs on the dash. That's going to be the challenge.

Love to hear that about the LX's, hoping mine perform the same!
