Hey, it's Mike and we're here with the Yukon overhaul. Matt and I just finished putting
-
in a set of the JL Audio C2650 6.5" component systems - woofer, tweeter, cross-over - in
-
each of the front doors. We've already put in copious amounts of Dynamat. We've put in
-
the Alpine CDA-9887 and, if you've been reading the blog, you know that we're planning to
-
do a lot more with they system. This is a step-by-step overhaul, and we're trying to
-
evaluate the sonic upgrades as we go. So in that spirit, let's see if we can't tell the
-
difference between the factory and the aftermarket speakers here. We've left the rear speakers
-
in the back are stock factory speakers right now, so what I'd like to do is play a cut
-
of music - one of the mixes in progress from the Sokoband album - and start, fade to the
-
rear of the vehicle and start, and gradually fade forward so you can hear the difference
-
in sound from the back to the front and then back again. I wanted to, sort of, give a shout
-
out to Canon, who has provided this great high definition video camera for us. It's
-
actually and SLR. It's the new SX1 IS digital SLR, but it has HD video capability. And hopefully,
-
the audio quality will be sufficient so that on your computer speakers at home, you'll
-
be able to hear these differences. Okay, so now we're going to listen to the song called
-
'Jiriki.' It starts with some solo piano, then the rhythm section kicks in, and some
-
soaring guitar. We're going to start with the rear factory speakers, we're going to
-
fade forward to the aftermarket JL component system and then we're going to gradually fade
-
back. Hopefully, it'll translate through your computer speakers and you'll hear the sound
-
open up and close back in. Let's try it.
-
All the way to the front now. Detail and accuracy, lots of information. I'm going to fade back.
-
I'm going to mix the front and rear now. Heavy bass res is because of that. And back into
-
the rears. Just in time for the drum solo. Well, hopefully, that was the...that you can
-
hear the sound open up, fill in, collapse back down. Also the tonal characteristics,
-
much more richness. It's pretty obvious.
