Hi all,

 

After all that red, we added a little something to make things better.

 

Got a big sheet of aluminium

 

 

and now with some measuring and cutting

 

tadaaa

 

 

 

 

 

a little wiring for to power inverter

 

 

well, the screen over there is a little monitor with a SD card reader  heheh..

 

also some changes over on the fuse holder side

 

from the overly red

 

 

to something more simple

 

 

 

the final product

 

 

we’ve been doing tuning, will post up some videos soon 

 

Cheers all

Hey all,

 

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

 

Car is actually more or less done, now just for some minor changes to certain parts.

 

Anyway, funny thing though is that, we just found out our tweeter had a problem.

 

The tweeter was rolling off pretty early and we had them swapped out to a new pair. Now just have to run in the speakers again.

 

The guys from STP ( for those who don’t know, this is a sound proofing brand that originates from Russia) and had a look at the system. They’ll be coming down again this Thursday, will get some pictures 

 

Anyway, here’s some pics for you guys.

 

For the side that is directly opposite the fuse holders,

 

Anyway, as you all know, we’ve playing around with some sheet aluminum.

 

First we have the front

 

 

 

a test fit

 

 

 

pretty obvious what’s going in that space above the logo..

 

some acrylic

 

 

and tadaa

 

 

the end product

 

 

the back

 

 

That’s all for today.. stay tuned for more

 

Cheers!

Hi all,

 

For today, just some little cosmetics here and there.

 

The new and improved EB Tec logo

 

 

Some little attention to detail, had to flush the end of the side board to the edge of the boot.

 

Preparing for fibreglassing

 

 

 

 

dum dee dumm

 

 

 

time for some sanding

 

 

a little test fitting,

 

 

 

 

now time for some putty

 

 

and its done!

 

 

 

wrapped up and ready to go

 

 

 

cheers all!

hi guys,

 

Its the chinese new year over here and everyone's taking a break for a week. But i'll be uploading pics of other installs while waiting for the car to be back smile.gif

 

In the mean time, one quick update,

 

We had an overseas technical advisor come down from Europe.

 

His name is Demetri, he's from Russia. He's the techinical consultant from this soundproofing brand STP. They were in town and popped by to take a look at the car and give us his comments smile.gif for those of you in europe, you guys might recognise him. What i was told is that he has built a lot of competition cars.

 

Anyway, thats all for today, look out for other more simple installs around.

 

Cheers all

[antnbarao 27]

very cool design!

[antnbarao 27]

The guys do not know how to play! The guys tells very well!

Se tudo no BRASIL não fosse caro, talvez acompanhávamos os gringos...

Hi all!

 

The car is BACK! Hahaaha

 

We had to do some adjustments to the amp rack, so things looks kinda messy now.

 

 

but anyway, on another note, we did some adjustment to the mid range. Bad thing about having them in he A pillars ( instead of pods), it requires more work!

 

Fortunately, we added an extra baffle to the 4” hole to change the angle, added some putty and finished it off with some sandin

 

 

 

We have a new addition to the front stage. The owner of the car likes to have a reverse camera, thus we fabricated a small screen into the right sail, just beside the tweeter. Looks kinda cool though.

 

 

 

 

And here’s the rest of the pics.

 

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned for more!

 

Cheers all

The only problem in this car is that you drive on the wrong side

Hi all,

 

A little update on today.

 

Remember the left side of the boot, there’s this empty space,

 

Here’s a better idea of what will be going there. Heheh

 

 

a little close up

 

 

the back

 

 

Now we’re beginning to add some finer details to the setup, playing around with some aluminum sheet.. hmm..

 

 

Anyway on another note, we’ve been trying to tame these tweeters. Though the EB Tec tweets sound great, they’re a little hard to tame. We’re experimenting with running the tweets together with the passive Xovers that came with them. Sounds different, but definitely a much different feel ( in a good way).

 

We decided to screw around with the cross over and do a little modification here and there.

 

Began playing around with some high end after market capacitors ( these little shits are EXPENSIVE!)

 

 

here’s how the stock capacitor looks like

 

 

end result

 

 

we gutted out the some of the rear seat to conceal them.. heheh

 

 

anyway, that’s all for today

 

cheers all!

Good job on the xovers. From what I've heard Clarity Cap ESA series usually surpasses mundorf at a cheaper price. I'm looking forward to get those some time. There's the MR line too, at higher price.

 

But there's always Duelund if you want to got "High End". They got 14 points in the test while mundorfs and clarity caps got ~11 at best.

[-removido- 420]

Bypassing the fuses and the thermal protection (F4) the final result is better than replacing capacitors!

THanks for the info man!!! appreciate it!

 

Cheers!

Appreciate the help!

 

CHeers!

hi guys

 

nothin much done today.. more tuning.. hahah

 

but for those pple who like A pillars, we had an old customer come in to dekit his car.

 

this guy was using some pretty big drivers in his A pillars.

 

he had a morel supremo tweeter ( the big one) and a DLS Iridium 3" mid range speaker..

 

he had a nice finishing too.. heh

 

here it goes

we did this today!

 

now the highs sound amazing!

 

preciously, we were always trying to pitch our tweeter against a scanspeak revelator tweeter ( the BIG one), that tweet gives very "meaty" highs.

 

Now with this little modification, it really brought out the meat of our highs!

 

thanks for the tip man!

 

Cheers!

[headshok 0]

Just a little update for today,

 

Further modified the xover, much to our delight, we managed to get more “ meat” out from our tweeters.

 

Basically, originally, we had lots of problems with our tweeters. At times it was dam harsh, at times, it was too bright.

 

Now after these little addition, we now have more MEAT on our highs, similar to that of large format tweeters( basically we’ve been doing comparisons with the huge as scanspeak revelator)

 

Anyway, just some pics for u guys today.

 

Cheers all

Nice crossover!

 

Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil..

[Fabio Arisa 28]

Now that's a nice capacitor!

 

I would try, for next projects with Morel speakers, the Jantzen caps. They are cheaper and result is often very good

[Cyro 9]

wow

nice job
