    EQT E-Tuning Q&A

    This is news, I figured the only thing I would do to this car is a stage 1 tune. What does it mean to FCP the turbo? If I google that I get a company that offers a kit but it looks like a stock turbo.

    Building a High Fidelity Sound System Build (Attempt)

    No tweeters. Dash widebands are set to 800 Hz with a 12 dB slope, doors go up to 1.7 kHz and roll off with the same. I do have to boost 5-12k in the eq to get the high end where it is. I can't hear 16k so so I didn't worry about that. Recording fidelity is a real problem when you work on a...

    Building a High Fidelity Sound System Build (Attempt)

    Never heard a final update on this. Did you RTA the setup and then tune it? I grabbed a cheap Dayton Audio iMM6 microphone for $20 on amazon, but it comes with a calibration file so it should be reasonably accurate. Was able to dial in my system very well. Might be the best sounding system...

    EQ Advice

    Does the time alignment also do the sub?

    Erisin 8111 installation

    Yes, their two cables allow the unit to be installed in a non-VW car like any other head unit (or if you want to run external amps). If you connect the quadlock you shouldn't need anything else.

    Fender Audio Wiring Harness Schematic? - 2019 VW GTI MK7.5

    Any tips on getting the pins out of the fender harness? I thought I could get away with making my own tool using a paperclip and just jamming it into the release holes but it doesn't work.

    Recoding the radio to eliminate Fender amp

    Just want to add, I'm doing this now on my 2019 R. When I turned off byte 19 in OBD11 the radio stopped playing. When I shut the car off and opened the driver door the radio stayed on. I had to disconnect the battery to get everything to work correctly. Just FYI.

    The brackets are just 3/4" plywood that has been primed and painted for water resistance. HT is home theater? I mean, a speaker is a speaker, you just match up the Thiele-Small parameters with the enclosure. A car door can be treated as basically an infinite-baffle setup as far as calculating...

    Building a High Fidelity Sound System Build (Attempt)

    No real measurement, just used a phone to set up those 2" in the last car. I had them rolling off at 12 dB/octave starting at 400 Hz. My high frequency hearing got wrecked from a fever as a kid, I start to lose sensitivity around 8k, am down about 3 db at 10 and then it falls off a cliff and I...

    Building a High Fidelity Sound System Build (Attempt)

    I'm done with speakers. Everything is much better even staying on the stock amp, just have to fade forward and use more volume. Pulled the passenger seat last night to start work on installing my DSP. Running Dayton Reference speakers, 7" in the doors, 2" up in the pods. Didn't like the...

    Building a High Fidelity Sound System Build (Attempt)

    So I finished one pod and wrapped it in alcantara. The shape of my pod makes wrapping it a total bitch, it is impossible to do without a cut line and I didn't think ahead with regards to where the cut line would be. If you make the cut on the bottom of the driver you will never see it, so I...

    Just those widebands and the stock sub would already sound better than the Fender system based on that response curve. This thing will really sound good when you are done.

    They used carpet for something up on your dash? You should pull that off and wrap it in alcantara, all the curves are convex, it would be trivial to do and look a lot better.

    Interesting, you've chosen peanut butter over body filler? Interior should smell amazing.
