it's about 3 pages ago... Post # 908 here we go!

FYI


Talking about deadening...


I would like to report one of the best if not the best treated area for my Yaris, Yes the front quarter panels, you know I've been doing a lot of deadening on this car, but the really good one, the "bang for your buck"... it's right there, for rainy or snow days (salt & sand), this mod, really makes a big difference!

With only 2 CLD tiles and less than 1 square foot of Mat (per side), the end results are price less! I really recommend to deaden this areas, I don't know why I didn't do it before!

This is the achilles heel of the Yaris, please Toyota take notice!

How do you like the build of the sound ordinance box?

[sqcomp]

When you fire it up, tell us where you have it in the car and it's positioning. Tell us how much power you have going to it as well.

I can tell you from experience that you'll need to play with placement a bit for the best response. I say that because I didn't and now I am in the middle of re-doing my enclosure.

Albeit, mine is a different woofer, still...the general principles are the same.

If it doesn't sound right the first time you put it in the car, don't worry. Moving it around can make a world of difference.

Fit and finish, not bad to be a cheap box ($59) I don't like the fact that is made of 5/8" MDF. But... it's doing the job.

I'm glad you told me....









I'm kidding....








IDQ............. SWEET!



It's behind the seats in the middle, facing UP towards the openings where the OEM 6x9 speakers used to be.

I'm putting 500 watts from the PawerBass amp @ 2 ohms.


The Bachuka sounds very good to be a Bazuka but the IDQ it's amazing


I'll play with location and aiming to learn and/or find surprises. Right now as it is feels AWESOME! like one of those HiFi home theaters where the Bass surrounds your body and you can feel it, and feels so good!

Like any other SQ fanatic, I played the famous CD "Hell Freezes Over" and I'm just speechless I don't like all the songs of this album but I was just amazed on how nice the BASS on every song feels and sounds. I'm very happy with the IDQ, it looks so humble that it's just hard to believe it sounds so good.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE IDQ TO BREAK IN!




So my status is:

Tweeters: Great!

Mids: Great! but will change aiming and location just a bit

Mid-Bass: Hifonics 6.5 zeus will get disconnected and the L6's will take control in kick-panels

Woofer: Great!

I was going to suggest, either up the way you have it or facing to the back of the trunk. My 15" rolls either way pretty well.

The break in period will last a little, just don't clip the signal into the amplifier and you should be fine. The IDQ is a good woofer.

I've thought about those a bit. I'm only going to be pushing a little 8" with 225 rms, so I could get by with it. I was pricing 3/4" mdf last night and thought after the wiring, carpet, glue, screws, etc I'd have alot more into it than the 39.95 plus 5 to ship. I like the idea of 3/4" or better wood. But with the little guy I'm using and how much power its gonna get, I really doubt I'd hear the difference.
Thoughts SQ? I'm gonna use a JBL GTO804 sub, so I wanna stick around .3 to .35 cu ft.

[sqcomp]

If I was going to do a wood enclosure, I'd make mine out of marine grade Baltic birch plywood.

Sick...do you have measurements for a vented enclosure on that 8"? I'm thinking a larger vented enclosure for the 8" so it will be tuned lower. The .3 idea is cool sealed but the output is going to be mediocre with the power given. The sound will b good however. I'd do something like that hidden up in the dash somewhere.

[sickpuppy1]

I was thinking a a sealed enclosure for sound quality, but would a vented be OK for me? I know its aweful small. I can get the mesaurements from JBL in a few...at least what they recommend for that sub. BRB

[sickpuppy1]

I guess a .6 is what they say...

As you can see, the sealed gives a much flatter curved, but noticeably lower SPL, which is to be expected of course, for a given watt.

Quite honestly, I dont think i have the skills to do an in dash install, as cramped as it is in that dash.

[sqcomp]

I'm thinking that the output may not be what you want out of a sealed enclosure with 225 Watts. That plan vented at .6 of a cube with a port isn't offensive at all. What do they have it tuned at? 40 Hz?

[sickpuppy1]

It looks like thats peak output,huh. I may just go that route.Its rated at max 200rms. How far beyond can you push it though? Stone cold newbie in the sub market here,lol

Yes, Looks like facing up, but for now I feel overwhelmed with Bass, I need to take a break.

Does Clip the signal means "too loud and distortion"? if so, no I won't do it, I'm guessing some 30 or 40 hours to break in.

Thanks

D,

If you're hearing distortion, you've either gone WAAAAY into clipping or you've got some nasty issues coming from the source.
