Testing surround sound
 

Yesterday, I put together an experimental surround system in my daily driver :) It's very messy install, but it works for testing purposes. I used very old and rare Jim Fosgate's (no Rockford yet :lol: ) analog surround processor - Gavotte. I am sure It can be easily found in car audio museums other then in real cars. It can decode a surround sound from specially recorded 2-channel media, and can add "surroundness" to normal stereo. It has nothing to do with time delays, which allow to virtually "move" speakers, it is subtracting channels - left from right and feeding rears with pre-processed version of difference. What I can say is - WOW!!! It adds "ambience" to studio recordings, making them sound better; and it really blows your mind on live performances. Separation is just hands down amazing! However, installation is a PITA, having to tweak 10 potentiometers without manual is a far shot. If anyone has a manual for this thing - please share. Here is a pic :o And yes, it is W6v2 in MTX stealthbox for non-believers :)

Does your W6 sound good? I've been wanting to find a true answer to this. I always get 50/50 answers. I'm gonna get the stealthbox and I wondered wether go W6 or W3. What do you think? I'd be doing the passenger side too.

Very good - clean, loud and drops surprisingly low for 10" size. I tested many subs in it's place (but no W3, sorry), and W6v2 is the best.

Thank you so much. I will now be getting a W6 instead of a W3 :)

Do you know if it has the right amount of air space?

It's 0.6 cu.ft, which is pretty close to JL specs for 10w6
