Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[derickveliz2]

First I just want to say I'm a happy man :)
and I'm very sorry to create such a chain reaction...

Well... 2nd, I would like to thank everybody for the event it was great!

I just got the score sheets today! "Thank you" x100000000000

This was my first event but not the last one. (even though I don't consider my car a competition car, more a selfish commuter car that sounds great)

I started this adventure in 2009 when I wanted to add a subwoofer to my OEM Head Unit in my little Yaris, and didn't had a clue about Sound Quality, x-over points, T/A, image and stage, etc, etc.
I learned everything by trial and error, so just been at this event is a big thing for me.

A couple of years ago I contacted xxxxxxxx, I asked him that I wanted to listen to a SQ-car because I was trying to accomplish some thing I didn't had an idea of what Sound Quality in a car was all about. He put together a few meets and we had a lot of fun and I learned a bunch of stuff.
Thanks xxxxxxxx you are a good friend.

I appreciate the feedback from the judges specially about how my system sounds and how I should use RTA to make it sound better

:)

I did have a issue, and I'm not blaming anyone or the system, it's nobody's fault and like a good friend said... you got to play the game...

-"it's about the size of the judges", (with all the respect the we deserve) as soon I met them I knew I wasn't going to get an accurate reading of my stage, but I'm fine with that, thats the way it is.

A friend of mine told me "that's why Mids in a-pillars are good" so you don't have that kind of issues.

-But like I said before I really appreciate the feedback of the judges in particular on how to use RTA as a tuning tool, (all my system has been tuned by ear only) and for the road, so I knew where I was going to get hit, and that was the purpose of my trip, to really see where I was compare to professionals like you.
I was afraid to go inside one of your cars and go... "Wow! what did you do to make it sound like that"
it's like the finish line at the 100 meters, there's the first place, second and so on until the last guy crosses the line... that doesn't means that the last guy is slow by any chance.


I would like to thank you guys for letting me hear your systems and share your expertise, it was too bad I had to leave early and didn't had the chance to listen to all the cars at the show. (next time... do it on a Saturday) lol

Also I would like thank yyyyyyyyy for taking the time to sit in my car and check my system, his input... same as the judges was "PRICELESS"

and what you guys do for these kind of events, I bet there is so much going on, I wish I could do one around here, that would be so cool.


Here are my score sheets that I will hang on the wall with a big happy face:
Thank you everybody. keep up the good work and if there is anything I can help, just let me know... Derick
