Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[TOLMACH]

Hi Derick

I am impressed with your committment to get the proper instal in your car.. Couple comments on your last pics with A-pillars podiums:

1. I normally do lots of sanding before applying epoxy or fiberglass resin (sorry, do not know how to call properly the compound you use). Sanding DOES improve adhesion. Sometimes drill lots of tiny holes if in doubts whether the whole shit will hold strongly. Totyota uses sometime crazy plastics for its a-pillars - nothing sticks perfectly.

2. I also prefer to cover the entire a-pillar with fabric I use - one or two layers is normally enough for tweeters based on the material density (thickness).. more layers may be necesary for a midrange pod. Covering the entire pillar helps make the surface smoother, requres less sending, less layers of putty and seems better in a sense that the pods won't separate from the pillar body. See link to pic below: pink stuff is the fabric. This picture under the link is not mine but it helped me do couple pods myself.
