I suggest moving the steering, driver controls, etc. and drivers seat to
the center of the van. Shouldn't be too much work. Then you will solve the
phase-shift problems that so trouble you.

Subject: Westie Audio Woe
I thought I was prepared to install a nice CD changer/usual inputs
audio system in my Vanagon Westie, when I discovered I was missing a
couple pieces, so I visited a high-end auto audio business. Without
going into the diatribe to which I was subjected, I can say there's a
well developed body of information/folklore surrounding audio system
component selection and installation. I'd be very interested to hear
descriptions of speaker placements that others have found which image
well and create a satisfactory "sound stage." Apparently the distance
from each speaker used in a given channel to the driver's ears must be
nearly identical to avoid screwing up that channel's phase
relationshiops, unless you install a compensating phase shifter. That's
where my speaker placement ideas failed to measure up to high-end
standards and I'm not ready to spend the money required to buy an
adjustable "phase shifter" to time-align unequally displaced speakers.
Anyone who's solved this tough dog problem in a Westie or knows anyone
I could call who has, please let me know.
Thanks
John Wakefield Help Help, I'm caught in the kelp!
