Futur set-up, what do you think ?

[ptitpiffute]

Hi there,

I've a HB 2007 and I'd like to put some sound in it .....

I went to the audio shop and the set-up that offered me, is as follow :

- HU : already have an Alpine IDA-X305
- front spealers : Hertz hsk 165
- back door : Hertz hsk 165
- Sub : Kenwood excellon shallow 10" in a sealed box
- Amp : either Alpine PDX-5 or Audison LRX 6.9

Let me know if there is an advantage to have 2 set of Hertz Hsk in the car ....

Also, would it be to much for a Yaris, that set-up .....

Thanks

personally I found that in the yaris the rear speakers do almost nothing at all really. I took mine out and havent looked back. you wont notice the difference I promise, plus you'll have the 10" kenwood to fill out the cabin.

save some cash and just do the front with some components.

rears are teh sto0pid! I haven't ran rear speakers in any of my installs since about 02.
make sure the box is fully sealed... if its a prefab box I'd go around the edges with silicon sealant on the inside to make sure. Also, throw in a bit of polyfil (pillow stuffing) in the box... it'll help lower the qtc of the box which means... it'll have a more gradual roll off (play lower).

I haven't yet install my set-up in my car, not enough cash and time to do it. Well now I can, and I have a question, what harness do I need to put the alpine in my hb 2007. Is there one that doesn't need sodering ?

Thanks

I just want to let know, those who have a Yaris 2007 and want to install an alpine HU, that a complete harness with no sodering, do exist. I got it from France, and the unit works fine and was hooked up in 5 minutes :)

I agree, the rear speakers are almost useless. They are too close to the front speakers and the car isn't big enough to get any separation to make sound distinction effective.
