Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade - Page 125 - Toyota Yaris Forums

It's not that I need the bit one at home. I just want to see what it can do.

I can get a modern receiver and will at some point for the TV area. But for my listening area, I am really enjoying the vintage setup I have. I'm also only listening in 2 channel. So any "spectacular" 432.7 channel home theater receiver is moot and a waste of money. That being said, I would like to do a side by side with my Nikko separates and the newer stuff for two channel work. The towers I have can take a LOT of power. There's no way I can test them out to their maximum potential currently since on my vintage setup, I can only get up to the halfway point on the preamp before the music becomes too loud to bear...

The really nice thing about the newer stuff though is that I can connect or stream music. I'd still rather plug in a Blu ray and play music that way though.

Are you using tubes? I'm jealous

Naw...vintage solid state.

For some reason I don't have a pic of my setup. My phone's microphone is strange when taking video so sound on video is wonky.

Pre-amp:

Amplifier:

SACD player:

Tuner (not used):

Towers (without the covers on them):

You can tell that the speaker tower pics are old. You see the red color in the grill of the Yaris? That's the old hella three tone horn...at least 2 years ago now.

I should probably update things...

This is my listening environment at home. All of this cost me less than $450 to cobble together. The sound is great.

I'll go in details later, its a very simple project but means a lot for me.

A little bit about "CENTER IMAGE-STAGE WIDTH-STAGE HEIGHT Relative to speaker Location!

Hi D, I was looking over the image when you sound deadened your doors, did you keep the plastic cover that was initially on there? I was going to install new speakers and eventually deaden the doors - should I keep the plastic covering?

Gone! for good.

It's a moisture barrier. (like a transparent plastic bag)

The treatment on the doors is on 3 sides, inside of the door (outer skin) then the inner part (that holds the panel) and the Panel it self.

I check once in a while for water and every thing looks good.

those plastic films are actually for soundproofing

What's smth?

I did not realize it was a moisture barrier

. I'll be installing my speakers, along with my auto locks/windows at the same time. I'll have to hold off on removing the plastic for good until I get the proper material. Thank you for your quick reply!

Well, I've been disappointed because I can't find a good RTA to work on, I tried my iPad and my cheap cell phone with no success.

i6SW hold on tight! here it comes a 14 Years old 10" solo-baric!

I know this is not apples to apples, but I feel the need to compare and experiment. so here is my test box! (it's snowing any way lol)

- Same power and source
- Box is twice as big or about the same as (2)i6SW that I'm going to try later on.
- 10" sealed box against 6.5" vented box
- 14 years of technology

Tomorrow is the big test.

D,

You know if you we're out here we'd work the 3055 and get you set up...

I'm interested to hear your impression on the solo...the old rounds are some of my favorites. Gotta round off those edges...have a table router? ��
