Progress on the truck has been slow. The first Pioneer NAV unit that was sent to me was defective and had to be returned. I lost a month in limbo during the return process. I ended up going with the Eclipse AVN726e as the source with all other components being the same. I’ll go into more detail on the progress when everything is finished up.
For now; please enjoy Stereo Clarity’s review of the Eclipse AVN726e!

Team Stereo Clarity has taken on its first project car named, “Project Optimus Prime”. This is my personal vehicle and this will be an ongoing project. The vehicle is a new Speedway Blue, 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. This vehicle is all stock and we will be starting our build from the ground up.
Goals for this Vehicle
- True honest sound reproduction
- Well defined sonic “image”
- Stealthy installation
- Retain vehicle usability
- Ability to pound out some fun on command
A successful project requires a proper plan. The first step in any proper sound project is to treat the listening environment. In a vehicle listening environment, one of the largest obstacles to overcome is road noise. Vibration and noise control will be our primary focuses. For these reasons we will use a series of sound deadener products from Don at Sound Deadener Showdown.
The source has yet to be determined but I’ve narrowed it down to a few choice DVD Navigation units. Eventually, the system will incorporate a sound processor. I’m undecided on this as well. The Audison Bit.1 is a fantastic unit and is readily available. The JBL MS8 is also on my short list as well but is not yet available. If this phantom processor ever comes to market it will likely be the processor of choice. Amplification will be done via a JL Audio HD 900/5, the cutting edge in new digital amplification in a conveniently small package. The sub stage was decided from day one; Tang Band 6.5” Neo Subwoofers. I had used these in my last vehicle and they were nothing short of amazing. I suppose we could try something new but if it’s not broken why fix it right? Shifting from low to high we should also talk about the tweeters this car will be testing. A new company called Wavecor has created a compact soft dome tweeter with the ability to yield a surprisingly low FS. These look VERY promising and Team Stereo Clarity looks forward to hearing these. Midbass duties will be taken care of by a pair of H-Audio Ebony 6.5” drivers; the very same drivers we sell in the car audio section. We believe these drivers have what it takes to yield amazing results in our application.
We will be documenting the build every step of the way so stay tuned!

We all love great bass but few of us can afford to give up our entire trunks to lavish subwoofer installs. Most of us compromise on either sonic reproduction or storage space. But faced with an A or B decision I’ve always been one to propose option C….and this case is no exception!
New Stealth Enclosures are available for both the 05-09 Subaru Legacy GT and the first generation Lexus IS300. These enclosures sacrifice nothing and are easy to install. Simply drop them into your spare tire area under the trunk floor carpet and connect the speaker wire. That’s all there is to it!

There is a new driver being released soon and we are excited to be one of the first to experience it. I’m limited to the amount of information I can disclose but I think it will be something that many of you will like. Cabinet plans have already been drawn up and a few of them are already close to being finished. The two new models that will be introduced include a tall Lotus BVR style enclosure and another tower style set around waist high. We are very excited about these new drivers and the new designs that have yet to come. I will update you all as soon as they become available!

Stereo Clarity recently hosted a large tweeter test to put some of the best car audio applicable tweeters (and full range drivers) through their paces. The day was a very enjoyable experience and an overwhelming success! We had some of the best ears in the DFW come and listen (subjectively) and give their thoughts on the available equipment. Big thanks goes out to the manufacturers for lending us some of their equipment for testing. Pictures from the day and the impressions from each listener can be found HERE…
If you have any questions about any of the equipment tested please email Steven@StereoClarity.com

We’ve got many things going on at once right now. Building some vehicle specific enclosures, some new designs for a not yet released driver, and shipping drivers out to people. CSS is going to debut a very innovative driver soon and Stereo Clarity has begun work on two different enclosures for these wonderful little toys. Start looking for some updates soon in the car audio section. There will be some vehicle specific subwoofer enclosures listed and a NEW BRAND that I will announce sometime next week!

Everything is new, and I do mean EVERYTHING! I’ve been working hard to get things ready for the public launch of the site. I’ve filled out the product and the audio info areas of the site to so everyone can see what Stereo Clarity offers. There are still a few details we need to work out with the site though, so be patient as we will be constantly updating things.
