how close can screen be to subs (magnet)?

CrazyModGSR · 06-16-2005, 05:51 AM

How close is too close? I am custom mounting a 17" screen in the rear of my Integra in the middle of two 12's, but kind of worried about the magnets screwing up the screen. Any comments? Edge of screen would be about 6.25" from the magnet of each sub. See front view shown below.
Thanks

Well LCDs are not CRT monitors. They are more magnet Friendly. The space between them is enough, however you could add extra shielding just in case. But you will be fine!!

ok, I actually got this EMF shielding stuff that I put around my hard drive also, although expensive at $30/ 4"x12" piece.

HOLY ****! I was just getting ready for bed and needed to move an 11" sub off my bed, so I put it on my computer chair (not even thinking of this post) about 2.5-3 feet away from my monitor and it started to change colors. unbelievable! big sub though with huge magnet. the ones in my car have a much smaller magnet. I am actually selling this sub because it will sound awkward with the other four 12's. (see below, not selling box though, this is where the screen will be located along with a laser and other lighting)

You will not need any shielding for the LCD, they are magntically benign.
I would place the backlight inverter as far as possible from the magnets if possible.
