Newbie with 190E car audio question

[V12]

What kind of sound do you like? As a general rule, tweeters aimed at the screen will disperse the sound and it will sound very laid back, putting tweeters on the dash aiming straight at you will be more detailed and controlled, but personally gives me a headache set-up like this.

Putting them in door pods/tweets, gives it a very low sound stage and i didnt like them there, so easily blocked by legs etc

My preference is on the dash at the screen, but i would say try it in different places, with some bluetack or something and see what u prefer...

Dynamat extreme is good stuff if a little pricey for what it is.
The actual cabin floor etc is deadened well, but the boot needs sound deadening and if you have speakers in the front doors, do them too...

The RE SE is very capable for an entry level sub (i ran a 12" V1 for a while) but may get lost unless you build it firing straight through the rear shelf...

Thankyou for your response.

I was thinking of putting the tweeters and mids in the dash as the current coxials seem to produce good imaging from there. Do you have any other sound deadening products in mind which would be up to the job then? The only reason I chose Dynamat Extreme was due to its quality and reputation.

Im looking for a very laid back warm sound, tweeters not giving me a headache lol. Nice extremely clean sound with plenty of reponse.

The RE SE isn't really an entry level sub retailing at £240 (good all round sq / spl and rated highly at the talk audio website). I must admit I would of prefered something a little more sq but it should be up to the job. I was looking at other subs ie Phase Linear ALIANTE 12Si but Im not sure it would have enough presense with the current boot format and bass venting issues.

That's what i would personally do.
Ask around the talkaudio forum about bodyline sound deadening, almost as good for a fraction of the price...obviously not as cheap as marley flashing tape.

Wasn't meaning to offend, but the SE was the entry level sub when i bought it, i know they have released the 'RE' line since. I agree the SE is a very capable sub.

I run a XXX at the moment and couldn't be happier. but do have a HC15 sitting here ready to take over.

Good Luck.

Sorry if I gave the impression I was offended, I wasn't. I tried bodyline stuff before in my Clio and it did a good job. Not sure its on par with Dynamat Extreme though.

I would agree it is not quite as good as dynamat extreme, but i doubt you will notice a difference overall, and your wallet will certainly be happier!!! If you are not satisfied, you could apply a few layers for the same price...
