Comb filter, caused by reflections.

The doorpanel is work than you expect ... Take a look here

I considered that approach and decided it was nuts to try making the housing on the door perfectly mate up with the back of the door skin.
I was planning on building up something similar but shorter and putting a rubber gasket on top to seal the imperfections. I figured I could reinforce the back of the door skin where I planned to mount the speaker (the way you mounted it) and possibly use some seriously long screws with decorative fittings to pull it tight against the actual door assembly if I had any vibration issues.
Where did you get the chrome rings?

I am located in Germany ... http://www.sound-install-products.de/
They do have nice stuff and the owner is very nice

next step to plan:
switching the chain from

headunit -> DSP -> amp
to
phablet/tablet -> DSP by bluetooth -> amp

iPad mini
+ perfect for my iTunes
+ good and quality sound
+ good navi software
- too big
- no possibility to insert external storage
- no torque

LG G Pad 8.3 (or other Android device)
+ nice form factor (2Din Mounting)
+ Nice possibilities to customize
- has to be rooted for full access
- bad iTunes connection


Maybe I will delete the airing in the middle and insert the iPad mini in that space (place headunit plus the airing) so it would like i should be there and not just put there.

Biggest problem so far ... I do want to compete in a multimedia class, so I have to get access to the media files. DVD is prefered but also USB and external storage. A big problem for an iDevice ... or is there a solution? Concerning the rules, the judge brings the files, so it has to a flexible solution. does anyone have an idea?

something like this




The LG would hardly fit in the dashbord ... the iPad needs more space

Break Through ...
iPad mini plus Airport Express plus Good Player ... done!

Das ist so geil!!!!

change in rules:

We are a bit advanced after long discussions. Everyone in the industrie is talking about Mobile Media and Mobile Devices, but in competition this was not reflected.

The media sources provided by EMMA are – for all categories SQ/ESPL/ESQL:
 Audio CD
 MP3
 AAC
 WAVE
The media sources as well as the audio source (e.g. iPod) have to be provided by EMMA.
Streaming of media is allowed for the judging process if requested by the competitor. The media as well as the streaming device will be provided by EMMA. The competitor is responsible that the system source unit will connect to the provided streaming device (Smartphone, tablet, etc.).
If a local (in car) copy of the media is necessary for the judging process, the competitor has to make it possible that the EMMA SQ-Judge can copy the files to the competitors unit. After finishing the judging procedure, the files will be deleted by the EMMA SQ-Judge.
It is up to the competitor to ensure that one of the provided formats can be reproduced in their car media system.

DLS Ultimate Series ... the most underrated amp on earth.

The A7 costs in Germany around 999€ new (!). There are only few good amp producer on earth ... but to find such quality at that price .... very very hard
