Look out! Rookie question... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Requiemm · 04-23-2007, 11:20 AM

Greetings!

For my first post, I thought I'd ask for some help from the Yaris and entertainment gods.

I have a 3 door HB which I love and have just purchased a Jensen VM9312 HU for it along with the install kit and wiring. While I am good with computers, being a professional geek, I don't know much about car stereos so here's my question.

Can someone help me out with a design for my car stereo equipment? I don't know anything about amps, crossovers, subs etc.

I want a system that sounds clean with decent bass and doesn't break the bank. I can do the install myself, just need to know what to get to make things work best. I also need to keep the trunk space and the spare tire, so a big sub enclosure won't work.

Thoughts?

Alot of companies now are making "thin" subwoofers, that are in the 3"-4" deep range, one thing that I have done is put a sub into a spare tire. We made a mold of the inside of the spare and cut a hole in the top. The air space was almost exact. Here are some pictures.....

I hope this gives you some ideas

Rick!

Awesome idea, but I lack the tools, knowledge and time to replicate your efforts. Any chance you might be willing to duplicate that for a fee?
