Yeah, that is one sexy diagram.

A visual formula for high-end audio.

( As I stare at the diagram..... I see dollar-signs floating around my head. )

What? Are you thinking of coming up to steal my junk? LOL!

Actually, it's not that expensive for what he's giving me; future upgrades are free, he's giving me a .tiff and the photoshop file as well as keeping a backup.

...Oh yeah, here you go D...

^If I didn't know better, it looks so VERY close to a subwoofer...

lol...... NO!

I don't even know where you live. Not to mention, I don't steal.

What I meant was, I look at that diagram, and I see components that cost a small fortune. Add up the cost of all the gear you are putting in that Yaris.
Have you done that yet?

I don't mean what YOU got it for, I mean "regular market price" for the average "joe" if he walked in off the street to buy it.

I have no idea what Audison Hertz stuff costs, that stuff is out of my price range, so no point in me researching each piece.

But if I had to guess... I would say maybe your gear is adding up to around $4,000 - $6,000? ( I wouldn't be surprised if you told me it was higher. )

I would never spend that much money for a car audio system.
My home system wasn't even close to that much money. My home system is Harmon Kardon, Onkyo, Cerwin Vega, and JBL.
I might have $1,500 - $2,000 on my home system.
My car system was around $550 total.

I'm just a cheapskate when it comes to audio. I like audio, but I never could see the point in spending big bucks on it.
I realize you are building your system for competition, and that is totally different than building a system for casual listening.

Those little woofers are going to make MUCHO beautiful noise!

Alien Mantis,

I've been thinking what you told Herb about one 10" subwoofer,

I really would like to have three 10" woofers...

with a set up like this my poor Yaris starts rubbering the rear end, it just gets too heavy,

I came up with this crazy idea...*

* What if I put back OME rear springs that would lift the car and inch or so, but all the weight of the subwoofers/box + deadening would bring it down and inch or so. *

My beautiful balance suspension that I have right now may get spoiled, but if that aloud's me to have three 10 in woofers I may give it a try!
If that doesn't work I'll go back to plan B, with One 10" subwoofer.

Do you see all the pros and cons when you want to modify your car? and...

All it takes to acomplish a task like this

By the way!

I change the Oil this morning in 37 minutes flat! hey that's very good for some one like me!

Alien Mantis · 06-13-2010, 02:25 AM

Those look like some old Kicker Solobarics?

Three 10's.... nice! Balance that suspension and go for it!
( if you don't mind losing your trunk space )

37 minutes to change your oil?
Did you take a nap in there somewhere ???

I guess I shouldn't bag on you too hard, lotsa folks don't even change their own oil.

Yes!

I used to have a 97 Tacoma I got those woofers in 1999 so 10 years at least.

I still have love for the older Solo "D"s. Fun little woofs. I used to run two 15" Solo "D"s.

Would you put them in your Yaris?

sqcomp · 06-14-2010, 02:41 PM

Now? One on one with the mille? Not a chance. That being said, there is a price difference as well.

It's 3:36 am, I'm still at work )o:

and to keep me awake I stare at these pictures...

derickveliz2 · 06-16-2010, 03:44 AM

.

I'm tired of the noise coming from the left front door and left side of fire wall / under Pilot's area floor too.

I need to make some time and get this areas done ASAP (I wish, I'll try)

Buying cables for BIG 3, tomorrow at a local Car Audio store.

A casual shot the other day after work...
