Premium Sound upgrade kit feeler

We are hoping to do one last run of PCNs, but we are going to need deposits from about a dozen people or more to do it

Any updates on this... looking for a pair of Local PCNs

I hope it can come to fruition. Do you plan on using this thread or creating a new thread for signing up?

Do you still have a set or two of the LPCN's available? An earlier post said you have two left. I would love to buy at least one pair right now

I have your E3010 and as DER E30 said above I think it is one of the best mods in my car. I am sorry to hear you guys have to close up shop. I wish you luck in your future endeavors!

I'm very sad to see you've closed shop just as I am getting my first e30. Will you make the crossover specs/schematic available (or for sale)?

:(

I love my e3010, best mod for the car IMO

I wanted to get a lukebox for my e46M in a few months :(

Any chance you'll make one more???

Our jigs got destroyed in a little flood at the last location, and all of the specs were on a hard drive that died in 2014. I no longer have the proper measurements for the E46, and I have no car available to test with, so it's pretty unlikely at this point, but who knows.

Sorry!

That's a real shame... I'm glad I already got my enclosure and all the accompanying parts. It's sad to see a quality production go under.

Thank you, I wish I knew what to do about it.

As in closing the company, we just cant seem to keep all the plates spinning well enough.

6 years of poverty is just to much for Justin and I to deal with

Thanks for your help… but what do you mean closing doors?… are you stopping production on the PCNs?! nooooooo!

Ill try, but the difference is the midrange crossover. The Classic has better power handling, and a slightly more laid back sound.

Keep in mind, we are talking like a 5% difference here, it's not at all "night and day" and having heard 2 cars that were otherwise identical, very few people could spot the difference sonically.

The E30 is absolutely bizarre in its positioning, with the mid down so low in a tiny space and the tweeter way up high, roughly 24 inches away.

Every installer who has half a clue about how music is supposed to sound will tell you that all 8 speaker BMWs are about the worst car out there to get good sound in if the factory positions are used, it's been an issue in shops all around the world, thats why we developed these.

What we did here is to minimize the tweeters output with a higher than normal crossover point so the "soundstage" wouldn't be so localized as they are with typical crossover points, and cut the mid off a little lower, to minimize the "glare" that typical car audio speakers have in the E30.

When you listen to our systems with your ear by the tweeter, it almost seems like it isn't putting anything out, its just because its a very high crossover point, but when listening in the normal seating position, there is no shortage of highs, it's quite accurate.

Let me point out that to get a car audio speaker that even has a low pass is rare, most just pass the signal through, even if they have connections. It's a dirty trick, make one think that the crossover actually controls the mid, but it doesn't. This cheeseball hackery is found even in high dollar stuff, because they sound just great in an F150 or a Camry or whatever typical car. Crossover parts like the other manufacturers use are pretty cheap, but more profit is more, right?

So, hopefully that helps, but at this point we have 2 sets of LPCNs left, and we are very likely to close the doors in a few weeks here, so its quite possible the only source will be the used market, unfortunately.

I don't think too many people would be willing to give theirs up.

You're back.

Sorry to ask this… but whats the difference in performance between your LPCN and your CPCN…? (besides the price) please explain further….
