I did more work on the floor, removed some OEM deadening material behind pilots seat, added 2 CLD Tiles some of that heat barrier insulation (since I have lots of left overs why not?) and 1/4 CCF. I left the MLV at work so I will cut that tomorrow.
Picture soon. D.

Big three is a good idea for anybody with aftermarket electronics that pull a decent amount of amperage. If you're running more than 100amps worth in fuses on your amplifiers... it's really a good idea to upgrade the big three... mainly the big two is what most people need to upgrade.
1: Power cable 2: Battery ground cable 3: Alt charging cable 2 & 3 are the forgotten misfits. upgrading to a 2awg or 1/0awg on both of them should help your voltage stay more constant, and decrease the amount of current you lose in the wire due to heat & resistance. Every little bit helps your alternator work less. |

Could any body list the materials for the Big 3! like how much cable to buy? how long? Terminal connectors and tools!
Thanks! and we are right into our topic (sound system upgrade) D.

OEM deadening material
Taking a break! Clean! 2 CLD Tiles. Some of that Radiant heat insulator... 1/4" CCF and ready for MLV With no MLV to work last night I started playing around with the amps, the 3rd amp will be here soon, maybe I'll put it under the passengers seat? or in line with these 2. I didn't realize they where so big and heavy This one will provide power to midrange and tweeters... PS. I will try not to forget the MLV tonight.

Wow 2:30 am!!!
I put the MLV over the floor between back seats and front seats, all what's left is the passenger's side, (it's going to be noisy in that area, I now, I can feel it, we'll see how it feels on my way to work). The hardest part was removing the back seat (again); to slide and overlap the layer of MLV with the one that comes from the trunk to create a continues sound barrier all over the floor area. I also wanted to reach for all the RCA cables I had under the MLV going back to the trunk, (plan A was to have the amps in the trunk) plan B, thanks to sqcomp I'm going to put them on the floor in front of the back seats (that's the area I treated tonight). This will bring the floor up! let say 4 or 5 inches. I don't care only my 3 year son goes in the back seat any way. I'll upload pictures tomorrow, or should I say "later" (o: D. I'm running low in CCF and MLV, I still

When you project is completed, I would love to know how much sound deadening you put into your car. cld=(sqft) ccf=(sqft) and mlv=(sqft) and any other materials... adhesives, velcro, anything else.
Thanks for the thread!! |
05-14-2010, 03:29 PM | #298 |
Sure, so far the list of Materials goes like this:
CLD Tiles = 91 aka 38 SF MLV = 95 SF 1/4 CCF = 56 SF 1/8 CCF = 56 SF RAAMmat BXT = 45 SF Ensolite IUO Peal and Stick = 14 SF Reflectix = about 9 SF Industrial Strength Velcro = about 4 pieces (1"x2" each) D.

.
These are the pictures I took last night, Basically is the MLV over the floor on top of the CLD Tiles, Reflectix and 1/4 CCF. I had to take the back seat out and loose the structure to slide the MLV under the layer that comes from the trunk and goes under the rear seat. I've been using Mat to hold the overlaps in place, I'm supposed to glue them, but since I'm overlapping 4 to 5 inches it's OK to do it this way, it's better if I ever need to get something down there, Like the RCA cables I had laying down previously towards the trunk for the amps, I just lifted the layer of MLV and pull the cables (o: The OEM carpet goes on top.

Old subwoofer box is TOO HEAVY
I did a "TEST FIT" of my old subwoofer box that I had in my Tacoma (hey I'm a TACO-YARIS)
Bad news for me,... the box is TOO HEAVY! )o: So until I upgrade my suspension I'm going to build a box and put only one of this Solobarics, The box will be very small (per manufacture specs... 12x12x12 To end up with 0.66 cu. ft) this is the LINK for more info about the box and subs. (note that these are a little old now but they are good). My wife is going to love this, lots of space in the trunk! (amps will be behind front seats) so nothing else in the trunk and the little subwoofer box with 10" woofer should be very easy to remove! Here is a picture of trunk with my old subwoofer box [man that's a VERY HEAVY BOX!] My back is in pain today . Hey I also have a 10" bazooka tube that I'm going to put in my wifes car (another Toyota) that I can use for testing or until I get to build the new box. LINK for 10" Bazooka

I was about to suggest you doing dual 10's in glass boxes on each side of the trunk... but then remembered your wife is due in the near future..... if only you had a little more time, you could make some cool glass boxes that fit perfectly in those side nooks in the trunk.

I don't really need to be 100% done by July, so I probably will end up with something that satisfies me for a while and then in Fall I could start working on this IDEA! Sounds great! Thanks Derick
