GREAT Sprinter Van Article in Car Audio Mag

[dtviewer]

There is a great write-up in the June issue of Car audio and electronics mag about the Sprinter van. Its only part one of the story but its 6 pages long and they are going into a lot of detail about each little part of the design and build.
This month they are talking about the vehicle and speaker choices and mounting of equipement.
He talks about the search for the vehicle parameters that he thought were inportant for realistic sound reproduction. Things like a winshield rake of close to 55 degrees (!), the size of the vehicle combined with dampening to get the reverberation and decay ideal, the frequency ranges each speaker should cover, etc etc.

Some really informative stuff. Cant wait for part 2 now!!!
