The CCTV footage appears the car was crashed into someone who was at the door when they want out of the restaurant. Do not stop there, the car kept going faster, crashing down to the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, this sedan crashed into another visitor. At least two people were injured in this incident. However, the driver survived. Condition of the restaurant was inevitably ruined.
Keep in mind that the ideal staging and imaging is not impressed sound strange, phasey and artificial. He should have created a strong impression of the stage and the whole image. Well good luck, good luck!
Many questions about the staging and imaging and its application in our vehicles. Actually what is staging? And what is the imaging? Let us peeled one by one in this article.
Note this article is intended for the staging and imaging in everyday contexts and not in the context for the contest and others.
Staging can be defined as a place where musicians play the musical examples on the concert stage, in recording studios, in pubs, in restaurants and others.
There is a derivation of this staging of high-stage (stage height), width of the stage (stage width) and depth of the stage (stage depth).
The bottom line is dependent on the stage where he recorded the acoustic conditions (ambience) and is influenced also by the acoustic recording is reproduced.
Many systems are capable of producing a good tonal accuracy, but failed to reproduce the ambience of the recording. What causes it?
Acoustic. Plays a very large acoustic sound reproduction is produced for example when recording a song 35 girls choir at the Cathedral of Westminster Abbey that physically have a stage width of 45 meters, 15 meters stage height and stage depth ranging from soprano to alto at the front until the back 9 meters and the distance to the recording microphone about 6 meters.
It would be hard pressed to be perfectly reproduced in the distance the car pillar to pillar width for example, only 1 meter in height 1.4 meters and it is only 0.4 meters.
So required careful planning and use of quality tools to reproduce approaching its original condition.
Imaging is the position of each of the singers on the stage is clear and tangible example the lead singer in the middle of accompaniment in the left, organist at the right. So imaging is the content or the content sounds we hear on the stage.
Here we see clearly that between the actual staging and imaging related, that is why often both of these things are often juxtaposed.
Well what can be done is to reproduce in proportion to the installation and settings carefully.
Generally with the help of first-class installation techniques, audio equipment on board, and Angling accurate positioning, cutting x-over, and assisted with a special device or a kind of equalizer and DSP (Digital Sound Processor), the staging and imaging can be reproduced at least approach although it does not can be perfect 100 percent with the original sound.
Now how to get the staging and imaging are step by step? Here are some tips that can be done.
1. Before starting to keep in mind when doing the process 2 to 9 below, in order to record all the process below (2 to 9) and repeat if there is a shortage in the process.
2. Choose a car with the contours of the dashboard of a wide and flat, as much as possible the type of cabin singles such as MPV or SUV (but by no means sedan not only challenge is greater). Useful to get the pillar to pillar width and depth of the dashboard is ideal for positioning and Angling is ideal.
3. Installing and setting in the installer is experienced and willing to work on this project carefully and are patient enough in a comprehensive setting.
4. Plug the well silencer on the ground floor, doors, ceilings, hood, including the fender and dashboard. Do this carefully so that road noise, engine noise and mechanical noise can be reduced as low as possible
5. Choose Head Units, Power, Speakers including processor that has a distortion and noise as small as possible so that the outcome more predictable.
6. Often audition live concert and CD recording livenya use as a comparison
7. Speaker Placement, plug the speaker midbass, midrange and tweeter at the adjacent position and try to have a different path length thin difference between left and right speakers. Some cars I see use the kick panel to anticipate this. But then the ideal stage for high-mounted tweeters should be ear height. For that experimentation is key!
8. Setting tonal balance first do not rush to catch up staging and imaging (on this will be discussed in a special article about the tonal balance). Believe balanced tonal balance that will help produce an accurate staging and imaging. If you use the eq then use eq with independent channels with a lot of bands in order to solve the problem at a particular frequency either peak or dip
9. Crossover settings either passively or actively with a planned experiment, use the most optimal cut point based on the specifications of the speakers. Special attention shall be made on a different speaker brands and series.
10. Use the time alignment (if you use the processor) carefully, measure carefully and try focus on an even keel in the middle of the stage. Focus on sound balanced single seat in one position or two-seat listening position (dual listening position.
Finally, one thing that can later impress us with your installers skill is when you are with a full condition limitations, but to achieve results very maximum.

Plano, - certainly, with such capabilities, the most powerful existing supersport in the world. it certainly will not be able to defeat him. Because the RC, too, the XO-1 is considered as the fastest RC cars in the world.
Do not joke about the car Radio Control (RC) version of this traxxas made. Cars with a length of 68.6 cm or 1:7 scale compared to the real car, it could "menclat" or reach a top speed of 161 km per hour (kph) in just 4.92 seconds. As for the 0 - 97kpj (0-60mil) - RC car that is named XO-1 is - just takes 2.4 seconds.
Electric motor XO-1 can menclat because RC uses a system of motion all-wheel or all-wheel drive (AWD). All four wheels rotated directly by electric motors at each wheel. Amazingly, the types of brushless motors that are used or without borstel. Others, supported weight, just 4.75 kg, batteries included.
The greatness of man-made electric motors called Big Block Brushless traxxas, working on the voltage 1.650 kV. Other packages with this RC is a lithium-polymer 3-cell 5000 mAh capacity.
To control (remote control) used the latest TQi traxxas radio system. The attractive feature of this remote control, before being used must download the application traxxas links to your iPhone or iPod touch that is placed at the bottom. Well in this part of the performance parameters, between the steering wheel and gas sensitivity, the percentage of steering, power brakes and gas setting is set.
This application will also be informed (show) the speed of this car when applause in a few seconds. Another RC information displayed is round and the temperature of the motor and battery voltage.
Aerodynamics & downforce Interestingly enough, to prevent the body menclat into the air as applause (because of body lightly), the car carefully designed on the computer to obtain maximum downforce. In addition, in order to go fast, smooth surface of the body is made!
The plan, the XO-1 goes on sale traxxas on 30 December 1100 at a price of U.S. dollars. Just a reminder, the RC is certainly not suitable as children's toys. Even to play it too, sure the owner will be trouble. Unless a circuit oval with a long straight track!
iPhone or iPod touch For the observer, is certainly a great ability to cause problems when playing it. Since it is very fast, certainly can not be played on the floor of the warehouse or complex residential seamless way. Must be played on an oval circuit.
Another problem, the size of it all, not easy to keep a steady eye on the XO-1 while sliding. Even to know its speed, traxxas should make a special application that can downloaded and operated through an iPhone or iPod touch.
Tokyo - Toyota's Crash tests performed each time it cost millions of dollars this is one of Toyota's efforts to make improvements from security side of the car. Any data taken from the dummy helps to make improvements in vehicle design to make it more secure.
The car sped up to speeds of 100 miles per hour in an accident-prone. But you know if it turns out the number of accidents with a lower speed is the most widespread. Surveys show 90 percent of accidents involving four-wheel vehicles occurs at a speed of 55 miles per hour.
It was submitted Vehicle Safety Development Manager for Toyota Motor Corp. Kanno Indonesia Yoshihisa when reporters visited the facility Higafushi Toyota's Technical Center in Japan some time ago.
"That's why at this facility, we conducted a crash test with a speed of 55 km per hour," he said.
Toyota had time to process or test crash test a collision between the Toyota Yaris and the Crown.
The second car that already contains a dummy crash it uses high-powered winch capable of hoisting the car up to speed of 55 miles per hour. And Brakkk ...! Loud noise due to collisions can be heard throughout the crash test facility.
The front of both cars were destroyed, the smoke from the airbags came out a little, the engine had suffered considerable damage.
"Things like this can happen in the real world,".
Assuming a crash at a speed of 55 miles per hour, the two cars according to Kanno is still effective in protecting the rider.
"You can see, the front door can still be opened easily with one hand only, the driver was protected from accidents. This is what we want on each of our car so accidents happen," he said.
Washington - As reported by the BBC, Friday (12/16/2011), Google says the technology could be used for tourism or just send the damaged car to the garage.
Several times did the test, Google has finally dared to ask a patent without a driver's car technology. And finally the U.S. government granted the patent to Google.
In patent documents, explained that the technology it uses two types of sensors. The first sensor identifies "landing path" when the vehicle stops. The second sensor is triggered automatically and provide data on the machine on the location and purpose.
"Landing point to provide information to the driver where parking spaces are fitted to the vehicle," as told in the patent document.
"Landing point can also provide machine instructions that a vehicle parked in the area that allows it to switch to autonomous mode."
According to Google's landing path can include traffic signs, signs on the walls or lines and arrows that indicate where vehicles should be parked.
To detect the location of parking, sophisticated car that can activate the GPS receiver (global location marker system) to find the rough location and uses sensors to detect trees, shrubs or other marker elements elements that can determine the exact location.
Previously the U.S. government to assess the car without the driver was too risky to use. But the U.S. government finally relented.
Hiroshima, - 'i-ELOOP' work when the car brakes, reducing the need for the engine to burn fuel and, in addition to generating electricity. In the state of "stop and go", the fuel consumption can be saved to 10 percent. According to Mazda, the use of 'i-coupled with the technology' i-stop idling ', a system that prolong the period of the machine dies. Planned, this technology began to be used for cars produced by Mazda in 2012.
To save power drawn from the kinetic energy when the car is braking, Mazda does not use batteries, but capacitors. In fact, the capacitor can only store electricity in a short time or temporary. Meanwhile, longer battery life.
However, capacitors have capable of storing excess electricity (filled) in quick time with a large capacity. In addition, durability or shelf life longer than batteries. Well, the excess that's what Mazda used at once claimed as the first car manufacturer in the world that uses capacitors to recycle ualang energy when the car brakes.
This new technology called the Mazda with the 'i-ELOOP' (and rectify faults were written yesterday 'i-LOOP') which was adapted from the "Intelligent Energy Loop" or recycle energy.
Without Motor and Battery According to Mazda this system works more efficient in converting kinetic energy into electricity when the car brakes. Obtained electricity used to operate the air conditioning (climate control), audio and a host of other electrical components in cars.
Today, most car manufacturers recycle the energy or perform regenerative braking when the car by using the motor / alternator (motor that also functions as an alternator) and batteries. Both components have their respective duties.
The goal, to save energy by recycling of this brake, to save fuel consumption and also reduce carbon dioxide pollution (CO2). In particular, when the car used in a growing city in the pestle and the frequency of the traffic 'stop and go' grow taller.
In conventional systems, use an electric motor or alternator to generate electricity. In hybrid cars, electric motor and battery size are larger in size.
With capacitors, according to Mazda, the electric motor and batteries are not needed anymore. Only used 12 volt alternator voltage, electric double layer capacitor with low barriers and converters DC / DC. 'I-ELOOP' began working to recover kinetic energy when the driver took his foot off the accelerator or the car began to slow.
EDLC Next use the alternator to the voltage change has resulted in the highest 25-volt electric (the method is considered more efficient) and after it was sent to a type of Electric Double Layer Capacitors (Electric Double Layer Capacitor: EDLC) to be stored.
These capacitors developed specifically (use in car) and can be fully charged in seconds. Furthermore, electricity from the capacitor voltage is lowered from 25 volts to 12 volts by the converter DC / DC. After that's distributed directly to the car's electrical components or to charge a car battery if necessary.
Toyota does not seem satisfied with the performance standards of the tiny car that is IQ. So Toyota IQ to look sporty make over with new clothes.
Design sketch leaked sports IQ. Toyota reportedly more character IQ Sport sports with sustained not only the body but the engine that has been perfected.
As reported by carscoop, Monday (12/12/2011) Toyota IQ this time more aggressive look with the use of a new bumper, extended side skirts and spoiler on the back.
While the car's rear bumper 4 passengers (2 passengers adults and 2 children passengers) have been adjusted with the theme. Rear bumper that extends the width of nan sporty muffler is enhanced with 2 pieces. Unfortunately there is clear information that can be obtained from the Toyota IQ sports.
The editors of Ward's Auto gave figures on the assessment of factors, among others, power machinery, technology, observations on fuel economy and noise, vibration and hardness characteristics.
Ward Auto announced the list of 10 best engines of 2012. It seems that the list was dominated by machine-tech four-cylinder GDI engine. Of course fuel efficiency to be one important factor in the selection of the best machines.
According to the plan, the BMW 3 Series will begin to be marketed in the United States in February 2012 and comes with eight-speed automatic transmission. Line-up variants are prepared 328i and 335i petrol engines and diesel engines 320d and 320d EfficientDynamics.
BMW has set the car sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series that will be marketed in some countries like the United States (U.S.), China, Germany and Britain in 2012. However, prior to launch, BMW first announced the price of these cars to the U.S. automotive market.
As reported by Worldcarfans, Thursday (11/24/2011) BMW 3 Series is marketed in the United States priced USD 35 795. This price is slightly cheaper than the price which will be released to China, Germany and Britain.
For China's auto market, Germany and the UK, BMW 3 Series is offered from 35,350 euros to 43,600 euros.
Car manufacturer BMW 6 Series BMW faces showing Gran Coupe. This is a car that has been long in waiting and is a rival to the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS.
Car production version of the birth was not until two years after the concept version was shown in Beijing attended by combining the two concepts namely the toughness of a car a coupe and convertible styles. Finally, there emerged a huge car with four-door coupe .
The dimensions of this car reaches 5007x1.894x1.392 112 mm or longer if compared with the BMW 6 Series coupe or convertible. Her body was 27 mm higher and 113 mm wheelbase also be longer for 2968 mm.
Because it has a larger body, then do not be surprised if the interior of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe somewhat better when compared with his brothers.
For instance seating that is now more spacious for 4 adults but still possible if the rear seats occupied by three people who would eventually make passenger cars to 5 people.
BMW will give several engine options. For UK consumers as quoted from Autocar, Monday (12/12/2011) BMW will provide three engines will be mated with 8-speed automatic gearbox.
3.0 engine which is equipped with a powerful turbocharged 316 bhp and 332 lb-ft of torque ready to accompany the Gran Coupe 640i. While the 650i will get 4.4-liter engine that powered turbocherged 444 bhp with 479 lb-ft of torque.
In addition, BMW is also reportedly preparing a powerful 552 bhp V8 engine that is equipped with twin-turbo 4.4-liter capacity.
There is also a diesel version called Gran Coupe 640D is equipped machine with a capacity of 3.0 liter twin turbo-powered 309 bhp with 464 lb-ft boost in torque.
You can be sure that the SL 2013 will have a weight of several kilograms lighter than its predecessor, but it is unknown what the machine will be anchored in the engine bay of his S-Class roadster is.
To find out more, it seems we must wait for the carpet of Detroit Auto Show 2012 when the vehicle is performing in real, not virtual.
THE fan of Mercedes-Benz SL-Class models in particular should delighted to hear this news. Because the automotive world recently shocked by the circulation of these images sports car character in the virtual world, whose origins are from autoblog.nl.
This image seems to come from a brochure describing the figure of 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL intact from the front and rear and top, plus the interior. Although the images present in black and white format, but still not able to reduce the assessment that this is a family of Mercedes-Benz AMG line up outside.
The new SL is the main product line of cars in Mercedes-Benz who first carries a special feature aluminum construction that makes it 140 kg lighter than the vehicle it replaces.
Mercedes-Benz SL still retaining the features of hard roof that can be folded as a standard feature as well as transparent roof with Magic Sky Control feature is offered as an optional facility.
Mercedes-Benz party while still secretive about the availability of machines that will be offered in a cool roadster such stomach. But it seems, will be launched with a 3.5-liter V6 engines and V8 engines 4.6-liter twin-turbocharged latest as well as some other machines.
According to the plan, there will be two versions of Nissan Juke-R to be made is a juke-R with the steering on the left and the one with the steering on the right that will begin to be tested before the end of this month.
Japanese car manufacturers, Nissan has finally released the original photo of the Nissan Juke-R, a concept that powered Juke crazy!
Previously, Nissan does have a couple of times video shows images of manufacture and the Juke-R, but this photo is a picture of the definitive look of this car when it is shown later.
From the looks, as reported by Autocar, Monday (11/21/2011) can not be denied that immediately arises aggressive impression when I saw him.
Therefore, the Juke-R design lines that sharply imaged owned firmness. Moreover, large vents in the front bumper supporting the sporty impression that cold caused.
Besides useful when 'dressing up' large vents also serves to channel fresh air to the twin-turbo V6 engine behind the Japanese car bonnet.
Cooling is required, because this machine is a machine similar in race cars Nissan GT-R. Capacity of 3.8 liters, this engine is believed able to bring power up to 480 bhp.
Not only in the last engine, Nissan GT-R DNA can also be found on the transmission and suspension that drives Juke-R 20-inch wheels on all fours.
Still on the outside, it appears that applied to the rear wing produces downforce so the car can go fast without encountering significant obstacles. At the rear is a pair of exhaust pentaginal also be found.
While in the interior there is a pair of racing seats steering wheel, combined with the GT-R to create the feel of racing in the cabin of this car.
In the center, the various instruments in place with a 7-inch touch screen.
It's not yet known, what punishment will be imposed on the driver sedan. To be sure, he'd snared California law.
