Canare Star Quad Speaker Cable, 4S8?

 

Comecei a usar o Star Quad Speaker Cable da Canare e resultado foi bom sem problemas, comparando ao Audio Technica. Com a diferenca de custar metade do preco.

Yes.

The StarQuad cable has 4 cables in the jacket, so I'll use one 4S8 (black one) for the midrange/tweeters and another one for the midbass using all 4 channels for each midbass.

I'll use the 4S11 (gray one) for the subwoofer.

Será que em bicablagem esse cabo ai num fica com capacitância alta não?

 

Im wondering, using this cable at bi-wiring form, the capacitance wouldn't be increased?

Eu to usando o 4S6 no tweeter e 4S8 no mid, e vou instalar o 4S11 no sub ja ta comprado..

 

Satyricon, no caso do 4S8 cada fio equivale a AWG16, usando em par equivale a AWG13, acho que razoavel para mid com potencia. A capacitancia e de 44pF/ft usado em par.

Eu vi os outros projetos deles..

Porque ele foi pros JL HD?

E outra duvida, adorei o negocio do chicote q ele fez pros RCA.

Tem algum motivo especifico?

JL HD pelo espaço. Ele colocou todos os amplificadores no console.

La razon principal de usar los JL HD es por su relacion tamanio/potencia.

Tuve la oportunidad de hacer pruebas con diferentes amplificadores antes de elegir los HD y con respecto a la calidad del sonido estan a la par de muchos otros, pero ninguno tiene la misma potencia en un tamanio tan compacto.

Con respecto a lo de los RCA's, simplemente fue una idea que se me ocurrio para hacerlo diferente y mas organizado.

El lugar de correr 8 cables separados, van todos en uno solo en un cable de buena calidad.

 

Jorge.

 

The main reason of using the JL HD amps is it's power/size ratio.

I had the chance to test several brands of amplifiers before choosing the HD and as far as sound quality goes they are on par with a lot of the "big boys", but none other has the same amount of power in such a compact size.

As far as the RCA's goes, the main idea was to make it "different" and organized.

Instead of running a bunch of rca's, I just need one good quality cable.

Managed to work on the power/ground wiring of the rack yesterday.

 

Re-routed the power wire.

 

 

 

 

Cut the power wire to lenght and added the ground wire.

Final lenght of the power wire: a bit under 5 feet.

Final lenght of the ground wire: 10 inches.

Both 0 gauge.

 

 

 

 

 

4 gauge power/ground wire to each amp.

 

I need to get more techflex and heatshrink to properly terminate them.

Man... seems to be too close the power/ground terminals... I hope when the car shakes, the terminals won´t touch each other... ^^

 

Amazing job btw!

there seams to be a plastic thingy there separating power and ground blocks!

 

excelent job! REALLY inspiring!

Hey Jorge!

 

Glad to see you back here.

 

Amazing work like always.

 

I loved the way the console and the trunk turned out.

 

Can't wait to see the next updates! ttys!

Had a couple of "wife/kids free" minutes last night so started working on the dash grills.

I cut the top part of the dash in 3 pieces. The center part will be permanent in the car and the lateral ones are going to be modded and removable.

So here's the passenger side of the top part of the dash taped.

 

 

 

Here's what's left of it after a close encounter with a jigsaw and a Dremel.

 

 

 

Got some hex shaped aluminum grill and shaped it to fit.

 

 

 

 

Test fit.

 

 

 

 

That's all I was able to do last night.

I'll get this finished Sunday.

 

J.

[Ianaconi 28]

That is awesome Jorge.

 

I am glad you finally found the metal grill you were looking for!

 

Can't wait to see the dash completed.

[doitor 0]

More work done on the dash.

 

 

The original idea was to only mod the side parts, but decided to also do the center so that they all look the same. Plus I'll add some foam under the grills to tame down reflections.

 

 

 

Wont waste your time with pics of how I did the other side, but this is how it looked when done.

 

 

 

 

Some black paint.

 

 

This is what I ended up with.

 

 

 

 

J.

[Ianaconi 28]

It is coming together nicely!

Top part of the dash is almost done.

Covered in grill cloth with the dashmat on top.

Need to clean and iron the dashmat but you get an idea of how it's going to look when done.

She's finally playing music.

 

 

Still a lot of work to get it done, but I can play with it while I finish it.

Quick update.

P-01 out.

JBL MS-8 with a Pioneer AVIC-X920BT in.

I had some time to play yesterday, so I decided to shoehorn a 6.5" coaxial in the center of the dash.

I got an Imagine 6.5" comp set and mounted it coax style.

Here are some pics of the process.

 

The Bose equiped cx-7 has a 3" mid in there, along with a display for the stock radio, AC and airbag.

 

 

Screen out and the I6.5" looking at it's new home.

 

 

Cutting some plastic

 

 

Speaker fits just fine

 

 

Quick Listening test before install.

 

 

Baffle done

 

 

After some paint.

 

 

Speaker in.
