Gz!

Now we wanna see some pics of that ride at some competitions!

If you get a trophy, pics of YOU holding the trophy in front of your Yaris are MANDATORY.

Good luck!

sad day.... cause i still need your help and opinions...

as for the milkshake.... i never really did any milkshake stuff... but the company that makes spectrum... who is that... crap I forget... they make a sludge that i hear is like thick peanut butter.

Like Palmer said on a diff post ...Wtf happend, Sq had alot of good pics and topics on his install thread, and alot of knowledge .

[derickveliz2]

You can PM sqcomp, he is around.

D.

[sqcomp]

Yes, I'm around. I'm not dispensing any pics or advice out except on case by case basis. as for Derick and Talnlnky, you both can contact me any time.

I've got LOTS going on, pics, news, new speakers...ooh! A beefy electric power supply for the Yaris too! That means that I'll have a plug in "hybrid" of sorts now.

[sickpuppy1]

So you can power and use the stereo without draining batteries. Like in competition?

[sqcomp]

It's more for demonstration purposes. I don't think I can plug my car into a wall socket at a competition...I may be wrong on that one though. The rulebook says nothing directly about that except to say that the head judge has the last say on whether the cars will be judged while running or not.

Sq you have a Sedan ? .....If so did you remove the 6x9's to get more sound out from the trunk....I have the base model....so my rear seats won't fold down....i'm flirting with the idea of seeing if there's a way to fit the fold down seats in there, with maybe changing a few bolts .

Right now I've got a discussion going on on another board having to do with aiming and speaker placement. It's got some pretty good contributors...all of them have been to USACi, IASCA, and MECA finals; some of them are actually world champions...

I feel that if I don't get on this system as soon as I get home it'll never be right. I'm just anxious to do this!

yeah.... focus on the mids & highs.... subs really aren't that hard to get sounding good.... sealed box, and enough cone area and you are good.

With a ported box, you have to have a awesome box design, or a 1/3 octave eq.

My bad for hijacking.....i'll delete my post, it was kinda rude.

What material is that Ensolite made out of ?

i used ensolite on my yaris... i dunno how much it helped.... easy to use for sure... wish it was twice as thick. I understand how the foams work, but I really wonder which ones actually are worth a darn. Next time I buy a car, I'm just buying 5 gallons of the liquid junk (spectrum) and throwing it all over the floorboards... get it like 1/2" thick, then do the underside of the car with it too.... if that doesn't get rid off all the road noise, I don't know what will... We did that to a friends SUV... and it did wonders... I should've done the same.

As much as we all love our Yarii,

The Yarii's biggest problem is the fact that it is a unibody car.
It doesn't have a seperate FRAME under it.

All the suspension components attach directly to the body shell.

So, naturally it transmits more road noise.

It is after all..... an ECONOMY CAR.

I do wish that Toyota would have spent a little more effort on sound-dampening.
When you strip the panels off the car, you see how little they did.
I mentioned this when I filled out my "Toyota satisfaction survey".

But after all.... the Yaris is an ECONOMY CAR.

Sqcomp is right! I agree %110

I just started this process and every hour I spend it's worth it.

I started to notice the benefits in the early stages, watch video:

YARIS DEADENING VIDEO


I'm only installing a small 10' sub-woofer not a big deal or professional install like you guys, so I'm really looking forward to see how your set ups come alive.

I'm Def no pro, my respect goes to Sq and Taln I'm just learning, Loll as you can see on some of my questions, but it's great to Get opinions from others, I sure am glad there's a group of us now working on Sedans, before the majority of the Posts were on Hatches, The sedans are comming alive !!!

Good luck to You guys on your installs, I'm dying to see what type of creations can come from all this.

You think that stuff could be an alternative for the trunk, for us that are on a budget to get some " mass " and deaden the trunk a bit ? Ace hardware has it for 24.99 a gallon.
