Wow, I just put lots of deadening and used a closed cell foam mattress to stuff into the open spaces in the rear hatchback wheel well area, and the difference in road noise is considerable already! Its like the noise picture shifted to dead silence from the back of the car, and noise coming only from the front, engine and doors.
This was easier than I feared! Just rip those panels off, clean up the dust, rip out the old speaker, lay down mat, fill up with foam, slap the panel back on, wipe off the fingerprints and test drive. Like 40 minutes per side. I am so kicking myself for not doing this sooner! I've been so annoyed with the noise in the Yaris. |

I can testify on this one. I put one Alpine Type R 10" sub in a ported box in the hatch of my 3dr Yaris, and it ROCKS. It's getting 400watts RMS. I have always been a fan of 10" subs in cars.

that is simple... it's a lot of simple. omi-directional... unless you got a lot of distortion coming from them that's not an issue. I'd think the KISS principle would matter most with signal processing, crossovers, and everything above 100hz.

dude... i've talked to you on the phone like once... but man... we should really meet up some time when you get back. Don't you owe me a trip out to eugene anyways, I swear you were supposed to watch a buddy's fight, but then didn't come last minute for some lame reason.

it's barely march... most shows for autosound happen in the summer... come april/may you should start to see stuff popping up... I remember the virginia area being pretty big when it came to shows... A few years back I wanted to Join IASCA, but they didn't have a single show in WA, so I didn't... joined dB Drags instead.... then found out there was only like 3 sanctioned shows that year in the state.... So I lost faith in the whole thing... THEN I MET the guy who runs/owns dB Drags.... the tool lived literally 15 minutes away from me. I think he purposely felt the need for there to be no autosound comp scene where he lived... otherwise his work would always be around him.... Ok maybe not... but really... its like if God live not in heaven, but rather in hell.... doesn't make sense... make some improvements dangit!

Texas is the place to be for IASCA and USACI, they damn near have a show every other weekend. Here in Florida there's quite a few shows, but they're more towards ricers, the big one that comes here to Orlando is Hot Import Nights. That is one Hot show, No lie.

Beer is pretty much the universal currency lol. Can't wait to see the final product!!!
Not gonna lie, I use a combination of hammer/pliers to crimp. It's just so much easier lol.
