So. Cal Meet Saturday in July

[michaelsil1]

I can see it taking awhile to agree on a new meeting spot so I'll post this a little early so we can throw out some ideas.

I'll suggest the beach at Playa Del Rey. :D

[sr20det510]

Hope there are are 1000's of palm trees providing shade for us at Playa del Rey :D

Hopefully we can meet before the 18th of July as I will be traveling through the South in July!

Hopefully we can meet on a Sunday, as will be traveling every weekend untill mid Sept. I usually fly home on Sundays. I can head straight to the meets from the airport.

[michaelsil1]

Since July isn't sparking any interest how about Saturday in August?

[veloze]

I was wondering about that? How come we haven't got any responses. We had a great meet last July right after Marv's BBQ. It was certainly one of the best meets we ever had in SoCal. It turn out to be a great crowd, lots of great systems, and many familiar faces. :)

So, lets get this shit going...and don't forget we need a change of scenery with some shade, so we don't have to cook our asses inside the cars with the summer heat. :D

[beerdrnkr]

I won't miss another meet so you guys can count me in. Hopefully I have my system compete, but it's pretty close now.

[cvjoint]

I will most likely miss any sat. or Sunday meet till September. My summer job gives me Tuesdays and Wednesdays free :rolleyes:

[James Bang]

I bet I'll still have my mean tan line I got from Marv's when this meet comes around

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I would do a meet in July too, but where is the huge question?;)

Does anyone have a suggestion?

[veloze]

There's got to be a nice park, or parking lot with lots of shades in OC. You guys who live in OC got to know something in that regards.

Last time, I made the suggestion to meet at Hooters @ Katella & 57 Fwy, but no one mentioned anything.

[hibuhibu]

Most likely any date is fine with me.

[SQ4ME2]

there is a mall (north county fair) on the 15 in san diego near escondido where a corvette club sometimes meets. it has plenty of shade and tons of parking.

[atsaubrey]

I wouldn't drive all the way to Escondido plus after living there for a year, you guys would cook your asses off shade or no shade. Better off having it on the coast. IMO

[michaelsil1]

There's Doheny State Park, Dana Point Harbor I think it will cost money though.

[ChicoOG]

There is an acura/honda meet in pismo the Sat. the 26th...it that a long drive for you guys? There will be a few audio guys at the meet...

[Jeremy Mullins]

Any Sunday in August would be better for me.

[michaelsil1]

Any Sunday in August would be better for me.

I work on Sunday and we have the Church goers and the Family Sunday group as well.

[armed]

All are welcome; however, if we can't decide on a future meeting place it might not be anytime soon. :rolleyes:

[armed]

thats cool, i aint gonna be in san diego till the end of july


and maybe i could meet someone that would help do my A pillar pods..

[donpisto]

I'm ready for another meet, even though I have a stock setup. Looking forward to meet up with the regulars and meet some new faces. I'll find out locations for parks. I know of one by the Santa Anita race track, howeve, I don't know how parking will be since there is a baseball field there, but there is an abundance of shade thanks to the numereous trees. Another one that comes to mind is one by Raging waters, I think it's the Frank G. Bonelli Park, but I don't remember if there is sufficient shade there. I'll look more into various areas in the LA/OC areas.

Cool. :D

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I'm trying to come up with a place that has;
a. Shade
b. Near the coast for cooler temps
c. Restrooms
d. Food
e. Enough free parking or cheap

Problem is.................I'm not seeing it.

What is most important?:confused:

Hint: parking at Huntington Beach is about 11 bucks.
plenty of space,food,restrooms but 11 bucks
to sit in the lot, wtf, over. :p


Autobachs for the win:(

[donpisto]

Here is one of the locations I mentioned. It has several trees in the parking structure, at least the first location. The second spot has an abundance of parking but not much shade at all. Heres some pics from google maps.

http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj318/donpisto2/two.jpg

It's the Arcadia County Park in Arcadia, CA. Still gotta check other locations. I like having variety to choose from as do others I'm sure.

As for food. In N' out is about 1 - 2 mins driving distance.

[armed]

so any dates yet? 1st week of august? maybe...or end of august????

[skeleto]

ill come by if its at arcadia park. im local

[armed]

anyone here from san diego area??

[michaelsil1]

If you don't mind spending $10.00 for parking Doheny State Park is on the water with trees very pretty it's in Orange County, Dana Point.

[OgreDave]

Bella Terra (HB Mall) has a fairly large parking structure (free) and should be pretty vacant at that time. Just use the floor under the top floor and you should have lots of shade. Bring the SO/ball n chain/family and sendem away to go window shopping or whatever. Food is everywhere, too.

It's not far from Autobacs so should be the easiest to transition .. instead of from GG all the way up to Arcadia, or down to Dana Point.

Bella Terra?
Oh GOD! :rolleyes:
I think I will stay at my work on Friday to save gas, then walk to Bella Terra.
ROFLMAO. But not a bad suggestion, though. Plenty of food and some shade.

[sr20det510]

Not the same issue, now it's worse :o

I have almost no volume at all :confused:

Luckily the hiss is gone : )

We will be trying a few things tomorrow and if it doesn't work I'm going to redo the complete install:mad:

[simplicityinsound]

damn, if you guys can do 8/9 i am going to be there dropping off a car, would LOVE to go to one of htese famous socal meets, verus just doing the old chillin with the engster and korean bbq thing lol ;)

Did you changed the gain on your amps too low? Did that get rid of the hiss?
You're going to be doing some installing like me this summer :D

It would be nice to have you, although Korean BBQ does sound good...

August 9 works for me it will give us a little more time to tweak our systems. :)

[sr20det510]

I will be removing the drz and having either a nak cd500 or a eclipse 7200mkII installed. The installer wants to try a few things before the HU is switched out.

[simplicityinsound]

carlos, still having issues with it? i would just have it taken out completely nad start from scratch, i think its a wiring issue....

[sr20det510]

Gain on tweeter amp is pretty low (about 1/4 on the dial) but it is at least halfway on mid and midbass. Volume is still very low all around :(

Korean BBQ for the win!

[James Bang]

sounds like a plan. I can do 8/9 as well.

[armed]

this is my first one...but 8/9 sounds good

[cvjoint]

I might have my new IB setup done by then, if only I could get time off that day.

[beerdrnkr]

I can go August 9th. I just finished up my frontstage (still need some tweaking) and I just need to get one last sub and should be ready to roll.

LMAO!! Eng...you are one funny mofo :D

So, what are the consensus for the next meet. Are we going to meet at Bella Terra parking structure? If some reason we get hassle; then our back-up plan will be to drive back to Autobach or another location.

Let's start a list to get a sense of how many DIYMA members are willing to come for August 9, and maybe we could get a bigger presence than last summer meet. :)

[donpisto]

I was looking at those a couple months back. I'd pick up one of the 15's but I don't want to deal with sealing everything off in the new ride. They need to get pricing on the Lambda though, I wouldn't mind running a pair of 12s or a trio of 10's.

[donpisto]

Ask if they'll custom make you one...worth a shot perhaps

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Why does the one in the top right corner of page look exactly like a DIYMA?

[*B*]

Because those are common baskets and cones on either driver... Maybe sourced from the same supplier. But they are different drivers with different motors and specs

Bingo! I've been craving these for a while. It's not too common to find drivers that push the envelope in performance yet remain rare and cheap!

I wish they made IB12s

They make at least 3 versions of the 12" size. Measure your trunk, divide it into how many subs you want to install and then model the one that fits best. IMO you don't want a true IB sub in a car, we don't have true IB and it will model with a very high Q.

Anything but the IB version is meant to cover frequencies in excess of 1khz and therefore you will find them more expensive then the IB ones.

Looks like the magnet is different.:p

[cvjoint]

Looks like the magnet is different.:p

ha ha, they don't even sell anything of the sort. The lineup looks like a different animal. Maybe it's an older model.

Some of the common baskets support in excess of 30mm travel one way, I wouldn't worry about it being shared by many companies, it just keeps costs down. Cone design isn't that important on a sub either imo, it's not like you walk into someone's car and try to figure out whether it's a poly or metal cone.

[michaelsil1]

Is it the TD15H and that's two 15's correct. I'm surprised that they're 8ohm.

[James Bang]

I have a change in my 'install', not equipment, ready for this meet. Just by changing the install I gained some major output in my mids. It turns out that my doorpods didn't do my 8"s any justice. My mids gained abou 12db in output relative to my horns (had to attenuate mids 4 db, and raise horns 8db to have it leveled out). Also my subbass from my single idq12 got swallowed up from the 8"s


btw, they are now installed like how BigReds 8"s are

[donpisto]

So when and where is the meet going to be?

http://diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?p=490577#post490577

I guess, I'm speaking on behalf of the SoCal crew. The meet is going to be on Saturday August 9, 2008 at the Terra Bella Mall in Huntington Beach around 10:30AM by the main parking structure. Go to post #57 for the address and more info.

We are going to try this new location because some of us suggested & agreed to meet there to change the scenery a little bit. In the event we get hassle; the back up plan is to drive back to Autobachs parking lot or unless someone has a better location.

Everyone is welcome to attend this meet, even lurkers who visit this forum. I encourage you guys to invite friends who loves SQ (not SPL). Also, ECA members & NorCal folks are invited to attend as well. Anyone who has an account at ECA, would you please post a new thread regarding this meet.

Bring your demo cars, car audio stuff for sale, SQ music Cd's to share, cameras, etc. A word of caution "ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED" :mad:

I assume that the following members would be attending? So, copy and paste the below list and add your name. See ya there folks! ;)

Yes got some work done on the car.. Not much its costing me more then I got to spend right now.. Plus with new work hours.. It's leaving less in the day for other things along with less energy due to fighting more traffic and burning more gas. :(
