New Stezza, not happy!

Le Update:
Have been fiddling with the crossover in the HU. Sounds much nicer now

Still cant get the MP3's on a usb stick to work, bah!

Also thinking of getting dynamat put in the doors at some stage.

you may need to do what i did to my trims. I had a realy bad air leak from the gap between the speaker pods and the door, so i ran a bead of silastic around the outer of the speaker pod, and around the speaker as well. Best thig i did to fix the quality was this and pack couch filling in the space between the trims and the door.

Yep. Sound deadening will help a lot, especially with Mid-bass.

If you deaden the outer skin, this helps keep the sound inside the car and keeps outside noise outside.

If you deaden the inner metal skin, this helps a tremendous amount with mid-bass. IF you want to do a cheap option, deaden the outer skin than use 6mm mdf and masking tape to cover up any service holes.

But if you are going to do it, I say splash out and do both doors in the following,

Fully deaden outerskin
Fully deaden innerskin
Use SD paint (Tar-like) and paint your door trims.
Cover up service holes with 6mm MDF (Remember to seal the mdf with a sealant type paint)
Oh and if you want, some people say using a diffuser behind the speaker greatly reduces standing waves (Personal preference.)

I know of a website that would greatly help you out... www.caraudioaustralia.com

qsilverza or Leviathan on CAA.

You're more than welcome to bring her down here if you need the issues sorted out. I'll also look over everything and give you a full report for nothing at all.

very much appreciated mr fhrx! However that would require me driving all the way from perth, wa

do you have any colleagues this side of the nullabour you could recommend?

UPDATE!!

Had a chance conversation with the owner of alberts car stereo in morley a few days ago and took the dub to him tonight.

Got a run down on what they make of the stezza and they're going to have a fiddle + dynamat the doors next weeeeeeeeeeek

They said the previous guys have done a hack of a job and theres no mid-bass or bass happening. I may as well be listening to 4" coaxials!

Am very looking forward to a PROPER car audio store getting it sounding good. Last time was such a letdown so I might have rip roaring tunes after all

[ScienceVR6]

UPDATE!!

I may as well be listening to 4" coaxials!

Hey there is nothing wrong with 4" co-ax!

I have 3 of them.

Cant wait to see how this ends up, i need some dynamat.

[MattyT]

Well, there aint nothing wrong with it if you have 4" coaxials... but i have 6.5" splits! good ones!

So very ultra looking forward to getting things sorted soon.

ZOMG UPDATE:

Well the stezza got thrown on the backburner then the coilovers thing came up but today it was taken to Audioart & Technologies in perth city and they fixed it up and dynamatted the doors. Result = AWESOME.

I is a very happy camper right now

So if your in perth and you're after a shop that knows that the hell theyre doing, go to audioart!!
