wait for it, you're going to like this

put two sealed ID8s in the passenger's footwell. I've got so much power on the sub amp that I could run 12 of the little 8s.

:)

I think you might like that!

I really would like to know a little bit more about tuning and how to manipulate the sound, I hear many people talk about their stage on the hood, I know we have a disadvantage with the Yaris, the base of the windshield is almost 5 feet from my right ear, compare to other vehicles the base of the windshield is very close to the listener, or maybe it's an advantage for the tweeters? having all that space in front of our hears.

Yes I'm hoping my L6s will perform well in the doors, I'm sure they will do better than what I have now. your L6SE wouldn't have a problem there. I would like to cut the plastic trim over the speaker though, but I'm afraid it's going to look cheap/bad?

What tools do I need to cut metal down in the a-frame?
I would like to sink the MIDs as much as I can in there to improve the width of the stage.

If the I6SW is doing pretty good I know you could make 2 ID8s sound awesome in the passenger's foot well, you have all the power or even more than that!

D,

I was going to say wait on sinking the mid into the kick. Let me do mine first so you can work off my mistakes. That being said, we have different mids. My SEs have a neo motor. With that in mind, I can snug mine almost INTO the side of the kick. lemme show a pic of the area:

The SEs will fit into that area when I place the baffle for the speaker on top of the hole.

That means one can actually put the mid range IN the kick.

Oh...what do you think about me taking the glove box out (since I'll be in the Pro/Am class for IASCA next year) and bringing the 15" up front? MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

sqcomp · 10-22-2011, 05:32 PM

Devilish little plan!

the enclosure only needs to be 12x15x15 overall. That's something like 1.56^3 of enclosure space. The enclosure i have in the back now gets LOW with its response, I'm working with a 1.75-2^3 enclosure at this moment.

I don't store anything in the glove box anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a loss.

Anything I do store can be put into the center console.

Derick likes that IDQ 12 up front? :) Imagine a 15" with 3 times the power at least. That would also allow me to bump my mid bass and mid range frequencies up since localiztion wouldn't be an issue. Less stress on everything.

OK, I'll wait...

How thick will you make the baffle?

Sorry

,
just didn't resist and cut some sheet metal with rudimentary tools, tomorrow I'll try with a dremel. I didn't want to wake up the crew!

I believe your L4SEs are slightly bigger than my Hertz, I really want to sink in at least the Pilot's side.

sqcomp · 10-23-2011, 04:21 AM

Shit son! You opened it up. I'm keeping mine in tact...

Put a 1/2" baffle on that shit and glass it in! Glass it into the stock kick panel...

I really see the need of keeping the speakers as far from each other to wide up the stage as much as possible mechanically before doing it digitally.

I'm not going to use the stock kick panel, this is going flat against the metal a-frame wall.

nice thread but i'm lacking in the terminology.

I don't blame you, Year and a half ago... I was in your shoes, just trying to upgrade my stock audio.

My original plan was to stick a small powered subwoofer and done, maybe upgrade stock speakers, and see where I'm now!

Don't be afraid, just ask we will try to help. That is what YarisWold is all about!
Helping other Yaris owners!

Again...we're coming around to the same ideas...

I just installed the L6SEs into the doors today. I had to open up the panels speaker grills. Man! It's a lot of energy coming from those speakers. I'll make a grill for them as soon as I'm finished with the mids and tweets.

Scott wants me to put his Imagine 10" up in the glove box...Gotta have that 18 Hz note happen though.

Make 2 pairs! jeje

any pictures?

sqcomp · 10-25-2011, 12:36 PM

Yes, of course I have pics. Do I share them? Not yet. I'll puke them up when I'm done with the front stage.

What did you do to make them fit? did you made a 1/2" or 3/4" Baffle?
How much did you trim out from the plastic door panel? I assume that the magnet it's clear from the window.

Thanks

sqcomp · 10-25-2011, 08:09 PM

Remember that SE magnet is smaller than the regular L6. Neo magnets rock! I clear the window easily...especially given the 1/2" adapter/spacer I made.

The entire door is double roadkilled and overkilled. Now it's dampening the panel. I'm going to start with some spare memory foam I have to space around the speaker opening on the panel and the door itself. That should give enough positive pressureto dampen the panel without too much more doctoring.

Look closer... L6 are not as deep... it has a bigger diameter magnet though... no doubt the L6SE are better speakers all around and look much cooler.

I really would like to see that 1/2" adapter and how you cut the plastic door panel...
