I see you have this game ALL FIGURED OUT.



Now, do yourself a huge favor, throw your stuff in that car, and BE DONE WITH IT!

( otherwise, you are doomed to a lifetime of "fiddling" and "tinkering" and "money-spending" like SqComp )

Ouch! I'm just giving options. The L-4 goes 90Hz to 17kHz.

Thanks!

little by little! and I'll be here for a while....

I hope you had good vacations! where did you go?

Hey guys I'm ebarrased! yes I'm ...
I'm getting engine noise to my mids and tweets (more in the mids) but it's weird...

The amp it's right behind the pilots seat so I can reach it very easy and after a little bump on the road the engine noise will start, or right when I turn the HU on, with my hand I tap on the RCA cables where they meet the amp and the noise is gone, suddenly the noise is back and I tap them again, I would drive for 30 miles with no problem, stop for gas and when I turn on the engine and then the HU the noise comes back!

I touch the RCAs and the noise is gone?

I know I should get other CRA cables and swap them to see if they are defective, but just wanted to throw this out and see if any body had seen this before. And yes my power cables are on the right side and RCAs on the left side.

It sure does sound like a bad connection with your RCA cables.
( the signal is taking whatever ground-loop path it can find )

Easy enough to just try another RCA cable.
Don't even bother routing it... just string it up real quick, and go for a drive.

If it fixed it, then you can take the time to route the new cable properly.

Thanks,
I'll try to get new RCAs tomorrow, I forgot to mention that my cables are too long. 12' and 20' long. I would like 6' but may be not enough.

This is the plan for the 5" balls, I did chop the left side and looks like it may work. The idea is to get the speakers as far apart from each other.

It's time to think about fiberglass and a-pillars, this is my first encounter with these materials, we'll see how it goes...

[derickveliz2]

Hey I moved the RCAs around and wound the extra length under pilot's seat, instead of under rear seat (left side), no engine noise today, so I guess I still would like to cut the length of the cables, also I have to short the main power line, it's too long.

Any body recommends a good website to get shorter RCA cables? and what brand and/or kind? or should I just go to my local car-audio store?

Sound is amazing and very clean. Can't ask for more.

Well why not?

I like to buy my audio materials from Darvex. Good prices with quick shipping. I have made a few purchases from them before. KnuKonceptz is also a good place as well.

I m currently running Stinger Pro 3 RCAs in my setup. They are nice and noise free.

Thanks nemesisz...



ps... #500 here!

I'm currently running the cheap RCA cables that came with my cheap-a$$ wiring kit. ( $20 4ga wiring kit )

My RCA's were also a bit too long, I just loosely coiled them up, used a couple of small zip ties, and stuffed the excess directly above/behind the HU in the dash.

No noise, no problems.

What are you gonna do with those BALLS in the car?

Glue `em up on the dash or something ???

I think SqComp has got you all cranked up.
Just throw your components in your doors, and BE DONE!

Remember, SqComp is going overboard with his system.

WAY OVERBOARD.

Do a nice clean stealth install, and forget about those A-pillars!
Also forget about mid-bass in the kicks!
That's where your FEET go! I would be kicking the crap outta those things mounted down there.
The Yaris is already lacking leg room, IMHO, so why encroach on that space with mid-bass drivers?

If I had to run a 4-way setup.... I would put components in the front doors, a pair of 8" shallow mount subs in the rear speaker locations ( hatchback model Yaris ), and a single 10" or 12" in the back area.

DONE DEAL.

Whip it up... crank it out... and crank it up!

NO MORE FOOLING AROUND!

You are gettin` to be as bad as SqComp !!!

lol



A CAR STEREO IS NOT A CAREER!

Yeah!!! you made me laugh , since the bad news last week I've been kind of blue , thanks a lot!






I really want to do the balls, I know I'm going to get in trouble but at least I'll have some thing to do! lol

Grab YO BALLZ and go for it! If you need some finishing advice, let me know.

It looks like Scott is presenting me with a house warming gift...I may just keep those L1 Pros...

I hope you're not upset.

I don't know exactly what he's going to send, a pair of L6 SEs maybe? That would make for one hell of a three way monitor set. L1 Pro, L4, L6 SE? Psssht! Burl veneer all the way!
