typicaljawaiian's '09 Yaris Sedan "Audio Build"

[Emerge]

Ok, I just heard the video.

Do your ears matter much? Lol sounds like fun, I would have to be a couple blocks away to enjoy it though.

[typicaljawaiian808]

Ok, so I need to be able to put a few things in the trunk so............... I built this.

















That Amp Rack is gonna get carpeted and the box painted and stuff, but this is it at the moment

FOR SALE

150 / 320 amp DC Power Alternator!!!

My Stetsom amp can't handle the voltage the alt puts out guys. The regulator setpoint is set at 15 volt @ 2500+ rpm. Anything over 14.7 and the amp goes into protect. I'd rather get another alt than another amp. Love the Stetsom.

I'm not saying the DC alternator is s**tty, cause it's not. I'll be ordering from Rob at DC Power again, just gonna get a 270 XP

PM me for price and more details

It was only installed for a day and a half

[The Architect]

just get a external voltage regulator aka "MLA piece"

[typicaljawaiian808]

Man, I been on the hunt for one this whole week. DC Power is not getting back to me, Irragi hasn't got back to me, Mechman says they have nothing. I'll try excessive amperage and MLA tomorrow. I really want to send it back to DC but Rob said to wait, he's working on it.

I got a comp in 3 weeks and I wanna win. Well see what happens.

I'll just say this, if I had the Sundown saz 3500d like I originally planed on, I wouldn't be having this problem.

Not saying anythig bad about Stetsom or DC Power though. Like I said, if I sell this alt I WILL order another alt from DC, just w/ a lower voltage setpoint.

WHAT... and give a canadian your money.. hehe... naw... he's a nice guy, I remember him posting on the soundillusions forum WAY before he started selling audio equipment. Always seemed like a decent guy.

[typicaljawaiian808]

Got a question about boxing in the amp i have a similar build just that im placing the amps under the wood. would boxing them in that way over heat the amps? at the moment i drive around with out the wood floor on and wondering about the over heating issue..
Alot of you have more experience with this then me so what you think?

[typicaljawaiian808]

Did some finish work so........... Here it is































Heres what it looked like w/ the plexi on it, but that cracked and got paint on it so i need to cut a new piece



Im gonna "Bodywork" the enclosure, so all those screws and imperfections will go away

[typicaljawaiian808]

143.7 @ 37 hz was a little test run on the Term-LAB. My comp score (official) is a 144.3...not bad for a trunk car.

Did a little more work since the last post ( got a couple more additions also)

Some decals





Pioneer 5 1/4's










Kinetik 1200 under the hood and 2400 in the trunk





Couple 'o tweets





Theres a bunch more evevn since these pics so keep posted!

[derickveliz2]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I like the sticker, did you do it by your self? more info please!





I hope doesn't rains too much in Hawaii ...










Thanks!
D.

[typicaljawaiian808]

The decals i got from a guy on the SMD forum, screen name "mr. p"

thanks for the comments. My goal is to break 145 db on the term lab.....well see

[Slick]

Simply amazing man, grats on the 144. I like the decals as well, no too over the top. :)

So did you get your Alt prob hammered out? An h/o alt is next on my list and Iraggi apparently went under. Let me know. :) I need about a 250a alt.

[sickpuppy1]

Somehow I cant picture you playing IZ on that thing,lol

[typicaljawaiian808]

@ -slick Yeah bro, the alternator situation got squared away. I swapped my Stetsom amp for a Sundown and everythings fine now. I also upped my RPM's a little tonight so my voltage is looking really good. Get in touch w/ Rob over there at DC Power Engineering and he should be able to get you set up w/ something

@ - sickpuppy You know what man......thats crazy because i have never played IZ on the system yet. Im on it tomorrow

[Slick]

So the sundown is 15v+ capable? Out of curiosity, does the DC alt have the wire terminals that are ran on the stock alt? Or did you have to buy some sort of an adapter.

Again, great stuff. I just finished dropping roughly $1,500 on misc suspension and cosmetic upgrades. My next spending spree is going to re-upgrade my sub-stage.
