MY SOUND SYSTEM

[5forward]

Jus thougth id show some before,during and after pics of the sound system in my room...which is finally finished after lots of saving and hard work.It comprises of: a N.A 27amp dc regulated power supply,a pioneer 1200mp,a pwm 20,a soundstream 620.4,a pair of dls 8" coaxials(model 428),a pioneer 10" sub in a ported enclosure tuned to 35hz and wires galore! This simple setup is worth roughly $6600.Any negative comments will most likely be ignored because at this point,i dont intend to make any changes to the system and it sounds very pleasing to me...and thats all that matters.

^True that...thanks.All boxes were built by DYNAMIX SOUNDS(big up 2 shastri for some excellent work)

How does it sound?

It sounds pretty good,to me..especially since i was accustom to hearing a logitech z5300e everyday.The dls gives great mids,heights and strong midbass.I do have to to adjust the balance to the right by '4' when im playing it since the right speaker is a bit further from me as compared to the left one.By the way,i have a "sweet spot" in my room(on my bed) where everything(mids and bass) sounds the best.I can also control the deck from that spot as well.However i do think that i'm loosing out a bit since power wires are run right next to speaker wires and rca cables(couldn't really avoid it) for great distances.I hope i'm not damaging anything by doing that.The sub bass is also to my liking an plays more on the low freq side rather than loud which most people would do with pioneer subs.In conclusion,everything sounds very good to my ears..muzik sounds clean and accurate..even when im feeling happy and really turn it up.

wrong forum...should be moved to I.H.E.......no wait....lol....

good stuff man, you have more "pongs" in your room than my car.....I sad

[5forward]

lol @ ~Vēġó~

And yes pioneer,its completely open at the back.I might have taken a pic of the back if a million wires weren't goin out of there

[5forward]

By the way,from my "sweet spot",the low frequency sounds pretty darn amazing for what it is...

[ruffneck_12]

looks like a swell system yo

but for the power supply section I'd do 3 Power Supplies and a battery (2 big PSUs and a small one)
I made a circuit with a relay and a Diode so that when the power supplies turn on, then and only then would the Battery be connected to the rest of the system, I will draw and label a diagram when I get time

I wud use a small hacked computer PSU to run the deck and pre amp too, less devices on the big arse PSU=more current available to amp

[5forward]

Thanks man,but i dont wana include any battery in the system.And i dont think i need another PSU either...at least not with this sub.But good advice tho...by the way,pops ent want me to spend any more $ on d system..at least not for a while...

[ruffneck_12]

i just use a small 10AH battery I 'found'
the small computer PSU i salvaged from an old computer
and the other small 5A Nippon America PSU I bought for $30

just hadda know how to move spranga-ish

[5forward]

lol...wrd

[SmokeyGTi]

very nice.. although you should ifind something more sturdy to put the dls on... why not put the wider box on the bottom...

[5forward]

Gona knock up some pieces a wood for that sometime soon

[DYNAMIX SOUND SYSTEM]

I see some constructive thinking went into this system...
nice work keep it up.

[5forward]

Thanks man

[Mr_Carz]

very nice, i also have a bedroom system, i use everything car audio xcept the amps, but take the advice on the "hacked Computer PSU", i use 1 PSu to power the Deck[Pioneer 3900],Pre[Clarion], EQ[Soundstream PQ7], and cross[Clarion 360]. and it works fine to me, just need to build a box for them =/

also, the Soundstream PQ7 is a nice eq to have esp as u seem to be more on the "SQ" side than loudness.

Advice,

You have a good start there to a potentially sweet sounding system. Do some reading on staging and imaging.

You need to mount the two DLS boxes on something sturdy and make sure they are symetrically placed so that your "Sweet spot" is between the two speakers, so that you ant the two speakers make an equilateral triangle.

[5forward]

Thanks Mr_Carz and crazybalhead...i will take those things into consideration.

And to pioneer,i dont do that with my speakers...

Nice system dude, System looks very neat. I myself also built a make shift system to listen to my ipod at home. Setup consists of:

Source = Ipod
Audiosource home amp -> a pair of dls rs6a's
Same ps like yours (27A) -> Phoenix Gold 2 channel (bridged) -> oz audio 250l

What I am looking for is a house preamp that is not expensive cause I have to turn up the volume on the ipod to get decent output. Anyone with options?

[5forward]

Thanks dude

[Firewall]

nice work man,

just an option move around the sub a little, try loading it against a wall, if you don't like how it sounds you could always move it back

[5forward]

Thanks Firewall...already tried that..the bass sounds really 'boomy' that way

[Mr_Carz]

@nareshseep a car pre-amp would work

[SR]

a bit of advice
enclosures for the 8's seem to be too "square" and can cause standing waves on the internal reflections causing cancelation and reducing the mid bass and some midrange output
suggest using a 1/2 lb of polyfill per enclosure and see if your midbass accuracy improves

[5forward]

Thanks SR...mite try it some time

[SR]

i belive its $20 a lb at radica trading easy cheap upgrade

[Firewall]

fen is supposed to have gotten some in the last shipment but i'm not too sure

[eel7]

nice system dere!
