Easy maybe.... but you didn't feel like a man afterwards like you do when you get done smacking an 1/0awg crimp terminal with a mallet or hammer.

You know why those are so expensive? They are made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff.

Why is audison and hertz stuff so hard to find? I would love to have their stuff because it's really high quality, but it's just retarded expensive from dealers.

I'm getting ready to rip up my trunk again and redo the amp set-up..I need a bigger box..Wayy bigger.

[_S7V7N_]

How much airspace you working with ? Right now i'm like at 1.0 cubic ft per chamber, i want at least 2.0 Per sub. I'm going to go sealed for now till i Burn these puppies out.

Trust me i know how it is. When i go in and ask the mechanics about upgrading the alternator, or what's the fuses on the positive side of the battery terminal, they ask " why " i say " why not ? " then they see the set-up and are amazed that a yarii can put a bit of thump out. I plan on keeping this lil biatch just cause it's good on gas and it's almost paid off, it's an 07 with 17 k on it, this thing will last me forever.

People are stupid, end of story. I could take one of those 1/32 model replica cars and put a loud stereo in one of them (tho it wouldn't be loud when playing below 1khz).... Size doesn't matter... it really doesn't, ESPECIALLY when talking about the size of the car.

They just have no imagination. They're stuck on only crx's and hatchbacks being the only cars to throw a nice system in. I usually just smile and say " crank up your system " . End of story. Majority of the time they give you the ol story of " well i had one a few yrs back but i took it out because it started to give me probs ..bla bla bla """ It's far easier to be a hater than to say " wow bro, good luck on the install "

"retarded expensive" is a term I use very very loosely. I just looked around for the quote I got from the dealer for cost, couldn't find it of course, and the hertz website is giving me a "80004005" error so I'm pretty much going completely off my terrible memory. For two 15"s (unsure what line, HXsomething?) I think it was ballpark of $1100. Granted, they did have a ridiculously high sensitivity rating, the power handling didn't quite excite me all that much, obviously since I can't remember what it was. But $1100 for two 15s? That seems a little excessive. If I had some numbers I could throw it in that sexy spreadsheet you like so much. Maybe their site will be up tomorrow.

Also, ditch the spare tire. You don't need it. It's pretty worthless when you do need it. Can only go like 35 on it or something to that effect. And probably 90% of the time when you "need" it you are in an area where you could just call up a friend and say "hey I need help! Can you come pick me up so we can go grab my spare really quick?" What I do (since I have my amps in my spare tire spot) is have a fifth tire in my apartment, so if I get a flat it's a quick swap then I can just patch/plug the other tire whenever it's convenient for me.

Buuuuuuuuuuut that's just my personal donut opinion.

That sounds great sqcomp, 2 questions, would you have the part # for the Bezel?

and is this the Metra kit?



Thanks

If you go into the dealership they cna print off a dash blow up that will detail the parts you need. The nice thing is that we're ordering the part on the shop's account with the dealership. That should save a few dollars AND get the dealership to deliver the part to me. Nice.

Thanks, I called Toyota (local) asked for the Bezel, they sell it for $86.21, witch is Ok with me.

Now a "Dash" blow up, for the parts that we need...? what other parts do we need?

is this what you are talking about?



Thanks

I'll try to find more diagrams for the DASH, maybe here in YarisWold we could find one.

So the Kit is about $30, do we need to buy the Harnesses too?

Three things:
1) Nice Makita. The light weight is awesome for doing installs.
2) Looks really nice, excited to see it installed.
3) WTF is up with the stack of change?

[derickveliz2]

Love it!

What are you going to paint? I'm a little sleepy and didn't get that part.

[goku87]

4) Why paint it? you should wrap it in CF.
5) Would there have been enough room for a scanguage to fit in that bottom section?

[talnlnky]

I see the teammate with the FIT switched to a MkII JBL GTI... should net better scores. The GTI's with the split gap motor had a very flat Bl curve... low distortion, and one of the lowest inductance ratings I've ever seen on a sub. Great SQ woofers if put in the right box.

By MEK, you're talking about the hardening agent used in glass work... correct?
