Thanks a lot, every post counts in my data knowledge, it's incredible how one little thing gets bigger and bigger everyday, at the beginning I just wanted to add a small amplified woofer in the trunk, like a 6" Bazooka tube or similar.

For Lunch I went out and work on my car, Yeah! it was not raining!!! after 3 days of continues rain the Sun is out so... I took the rear left door trim panel off, add CLD Tiles and Butyl Rope... Wow! the second door was so easy compare to the first one and I did it very FAST!

The door is ready for MLV and CCF, I hope I can get that done tonight.

I finished deadening the front floor, and I could not believe what I saw.... under the passenger side foot area, there are tiny open holes right down to the asphalt, covered only by the thin carpet. No wonder its noisy.

^ WTH!!! That doesn't sound right.

sqcomp · 04-04-2010, 01:44 PM

I'll second that one. I've stripped mine down and I never got that. Pics please!

talnlnky · 04-04-2010, 01:45 PM

dealer forgot to put in the rubber plugs when you bought the car. cars are shipped with the plugs out, the dealer has to put them in place upon delivery.... sometimes dealers forget. You're not the first... and I doubt the last.

swidd · 04-04-2010, 05:31 PM

Sorry I didn't take pics, and its too late now... layers of rubber mat and four layers of interior carpet covering it. Now its quiet, like a Mercedes. I can barely hear the engine, and can't really distinguish between low RPM and high RPM. While just out on a drive, I noticed I kept it in high gears until the engine was struggling... I just didn't notice speed or engine sound any more. NICE!!!

Wow, I'm glad you took care of it. Do you have pictures of your install?

Well it all looks like stock, now that I put it all together again. I'll take some pics once I get the amplifier in a few days. It will also look stock/stealth.

I'm very happy with the Yaris now. Completely quiet, all I can hear while driving is the sound of the wind against the windshield, and even that's pretty silent. The tire noise from driving on old rugged asphalt doesn't make it into the cabin at all (or my hearing is fading with age).

Its so quiet that the only annoyances that remain, is the sound coming from my key chain vibrating gently... and a new rattle from the rear middle seat belt assembly. I tried to make it shut up, but something internal to the seat belt roller is resonating, making rattle. I covered it in bed sheets and such, so the sound doesn't really go anywhere.

Cool, where are you going to install your amp?

sqcomp · 04-05-2010, 01:16 PM

Don't you love that? The only real sounds that "bother" you are the really small ones! For me, it's the dome light (that will be taken care of in a few weeks).

swidd · 04-05-2010, 01:16 PM

Under my right front seat. Already have all the wires routed in there under the carpet.

And its on its way!!

swidd · 04-05-2010, 01:20 PM

When I took down my dome light, I noticed there were two plastic pieces on each side of the bulb. Didn't quite understand what function they served. One of the pieces were loose when I opened it. Have you tried just popping off the cover? Or is the rattle rooted deeper up in there?

sqcomp · 04-05-2010, 01:34 PM

I haven't touched the headliner just yet. I didn't have enough time before they shipped me off to Iraq.

I'll be handling that in two weeks after my return home. As soon as that headliner is dropped, the dash mounting for the P-01 and wiring to the amplifiers happen. We're still trying to decide which amplifiers to use. Image Dynamics Qs or Audison SRx or LRx...

Oh, I noticed my side mirrors vibrating when playing loud. I'm going to put sound damping material behind the mirrors. It should be easy.
