Before adding mids in the dash my staging was starting from under the window line on the left to reach the middle of the windshield in the center and going back at the window line at the right.

Our problem (minivan) is that the speakers in the doors are at our feet and our ears are far from them since we sit high. Like me, you will probably need to add some mids in the dash to bring the stage back up.

I've been playing with the TA. Setup allows me to separately control mids from tweets TA, & balance. The auto TA only adjusts my mids, I have to manually adjust the tweets by ear. I've only used auto TA as a reference point then manually adjusted all speakers from there. I use my Pioneer 8600 for this.

The doors have 2 6.5 mids (custom pods) in each, with one tweet in the sail bezel and one in the A pillar firing toward the windshield. Also the center placement (track 12) seems really wide. Should her voice sound focused right in the center? Not to come from left or right but REALLY wide.... When the left, center, & right voices play back & forth it sounds better. Just really wide when only testing for center...

Is it suppose to sound like this? What are some good songs for checking center imaging?

I apologize for all the questions .... this was bugging me for awhile now and once I say this thread....

lol

I havent read your whole post, but it sounds like you have some reflection and frequency steering issues. It's a very common problem. All of the images in your car should be pin point if it's set up properly. When someone talks to you, close your eyes. How "big" is their voice? Can you tell where they are coming from? There are lots of referance discs out their that can help you. If you close to one of the up coming SQ shows, I will help you with your problem.

Thanks Fozzz I can use any bit of help I can get when it comes to tuning TA.
I haven't been to a show since Lindsay, but hope to hit at least one in July. I'll see which one I can make it to and hopefully you'll be going to also. I'll let ya know. THANKS again.

thats not entirely true as it heavily depends on the recording and the quality of it

listen to this track on a set of home speakers and it will give you a far better reference as to what it supposed to sound like....a car is a very poor reference

I'll try that, thanks. I should be listening to this in stereo on my Sony DA7100ES or 3 ch for the extra center attention????
