ICE LWB VW Caravelle T4 VR6, 1996, Pursuing Live Music

                                                                                                                                                                            Hearing the work Jon Whitledge in America in 2012, Wibowo Utanto go directly to the United States in January 2013, regarding it as a masterpiece in the world of car audio.

In order to realize his own masterpiece, Yung-yung, the nickname of Utanto was built on top of a VW Caravelle LWB. "I deliberately choose long wheelbase version, because the pursuit of most cabin volume to catch the nuances of live," said skipper Elixir Car Stereo in Yogyakarta.

Background as a music player (Yung-yung's fingers dance on the keyboard whiz), would make reference slightly different tastes and fitter than most.

Yung-yung prefers MUSICALITY, which can be defined as the ability of an audio system delivering 'emotion' musician. Dinomorsatukan enjoyment of the music, not just a sound structure treble, midrange and bass right.

Naturally, sohibnya in car audio is not behind consulted. All for the sake of achieving the dream of car audio that sounds real. Everything was set out in the following order.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Speaker Must Maximum

Order 3-way plus subwoofer is not new in the world of car audio. But, make sure each speaker or the driver gets a small volume of the right, not an easy thing. After all, the limitations of the cabin so the main hurdle. That try was broken into Yung-yung here.

For the sake of optimization, he made a 4 liter box for the midrange Esotec MW152 5 inches in the dashboard, which is paired with the tweeter Esotar2 110. "After receiving a lot of feedback, this box will be regenerated with a larger volume, so it is about 5-6 liters.

It is important to produce a sound more natural weight, "he said. Installation midbass often a scourge most fitter, overcome by making a separate box volume 21 liters in the front door.

Oh yes, midbass selected is Esotec MW182 9 inches, which is usually used as a subwoofer by most people. So, do not be surprised if the sound midbassnya very strong and deep.

"Midbass Boks will be revised, so thicker and heavier," said Yung-yung many of his friends asking for input from the world of Pro Audio. Subwoofer as a producer of super-low tone, also optimized with sealed box 37 liters.

There are two 12-inch subwoofer Esotar2 1200 is used, and its position is set lengthwise. "It's not finished, there will be plus one subwoofer again in order to complete the low frequency reproduction and minimal equalizer settings."

Qualified amplifier

Large and dynamic power, high resolution and minimal distortion voice alias clean, so its requirements. The choice fell on ZAPCO, American products whose reputation is legendary. A pair of Z-150.4 LX for each left and right.

Each tweeter and midrange rationed to 150 watts, while each midbass gets 520 watts! While each subwoofer powered by a Z-400.2 LX-powered 1350 watt (bridge)! Pure and clean power, which ensures the reproduction of the music come alive.

Custom configurations for left and right aims to reduce crosstalk, the left and right signals are slightly crossed, thus blurring the image.

Full featured processor Complete

To manage the work of each speaker, would need a reliable processor. The choice fell to the DSP Helix Pro, as processors with complete features. In addition to the parameter settings are complete and detail, DSP Pro is also ready to audio Hires, because the chip include high capability that can process up to 96 kHz sampling rate with 64 bits of strength!

Reliable cable

Cable audio signals influence the sound quality. So Yung-yung choose Kimber, also an American production, which is already highly he recognized character. Kimber speaker cables have 4TC, while the signal interconnects tweeter, midrange and midbass, wear Kimber AGSS remarkably transparent and agile.

While wearing Kimber PBJ subwoofer. Yung-yung also use Kwik12 Kimber cables for power supply or main power cable from the battery.

Stable Power Supply

Because the system needs big power in order to guarantee optimal, then choose a pair of Yung-yung Optima battery and Flux-powered Caps Harrison Labs 100 A. With a stable power supply, the current electricity needs can be accommodated dynamic music. The effect that sounds, the bass always solid with a stable image, and sound impressed clean.

Pretentious And Live!

Naturally we were curious as to what the voice on the audio system's VW Caravelle. With live acoustic music album (Alice In Chains Unplugged), a magnificent sound stage and detail loud, bass drum tones are real, both timbre and the weights.

Difficult to find weaknesses in these systems, imaging clear and magnificent, everything is very loud and dynamic. It was like hearing live music!
