Thanks! DD where in Utah are you?

That's how I learn, the hard way but then I feel good.

I'm chiding you a little here...on purpose. Get a hold of me so we can set your starting point on the pillars correctly.

No kidding! Yes I know but I had this crazy idea to have the 3" driver in front of the sail panel but based/attached on the A-Pillar. That's a "no go"

Please describe to me "baffle"?

What are the new ideas for the Yaris now that you have been exposed to the 3x MECA master champ? I'm so curios!!!

BTW!
Finally I met another guy with big boom boom around here!

This morning when me and my son went to the Post Office in my Corolla... I notice parked next to us a Land Rover with a big box inside with 2 subs... I saw the owner approaching and asked him...

"Are those two 12's in the back?" and he said "NO! there are two 15's" with a big smile (in ported boxes, and 4 coaxial speakers 2 in the doors and 2 in the rear C-Pillars facing forward). I asked him how did they sound? he went inside the Land Rover and turn his radio on... Yeah Baby... lot's of rattles and kind of loud. He showed me the amp, on the side wall and he claim to be very happy with this pair of subs. Then he invited me to go inside the car [as I was approaching the interior of the car the BASS started to fade away ] and shut the door, asked me to crank it up and I did...
Man I was sorry I wasn't driving my Yaris! He would have been going nuts listening to the Bachuka . I really wasn't impressed. Maybe he didn't even had them set up properly. I really would like to listen/feel other systems... learn and get to know how they sound.

This was a great experience for me, as soon as we got back home I went in my car and crank it up! YES YES YES!!! my Bachuka and only with the Mid-Bass drivers in the doors sounds much better the the guy with the two 15's ... I get the feeling that I'm in the right path!

My ideas are about interior treatment and a modification of the mid bass amongst other things. The big thing is drawing off experience. I'm working with a loaded deck now. Give me a competition. I'm there with a vehicle that is winning material. Yes, I have confidence. I expect to make a big statement in IASCA SQc and SQi.

Now, for you...

Ask yourself, what are you going to attach the speakers to? Where is the baffle? Post a pic please (again, I'm giving you a hard time on purpose).

Interior treatment?

The speakers are connected to the wires! jeje

Oh man...if I was right next to you right now...to the moon!

Here's what you need to do. Make a baffle for the tweeters and the mid to fit in to. Speaker rings. What you did was to make a back like you were doing a pod. That's the wrong thing to do in this case.

So, take a few minutes and make your baffles. Post a pic up when you're done and I'll guide you onto the next step.

You'll see about the interior treatments in a few weeks. It's one of the little things that's going to bring a 6.5' trophy into my possession. I sat in dave's car for the last two days listening. All I need to do is to tweak my mid bass a little and I'm ready for the next level. I can see the IASCA rookie SQI and SQc trophies in my hot little hands already.

i am about 45 min SW of salt lake city. Eagle Mountain City. I have about a 45 min commute to work and need to quiet my ride down. I started reading this and SQcomp's threads with that in mind. I have really enjoyed and appreciated the time you guys have taken to not only do the work, but post pics and descriptions for guys like me. (uh oh, its getting sappy...(yawn!)) And all the others that know their stuff and have made comments too. I have learned a ton. One of these days i will get my car done (sound deadening and system upgrade). Seems like i never have time. Just when i start thinking that though, you will post that you were up till 2 or 3 am. I definitely have that time available. hmmm. One of these days i will shut up and start working... till then, i will keep reading. (grin)

thanks for asking Derick.

We went to SLC in 2006 for a photo shoot, weather was beautiful indeed. My wife also has some relatives down there, I wish I could go back there again.

[derickveliz2]

Ok, it's midnight and everybody is sleeping now
I'm going back to the garage and clean up my mess....

[sqcomp]

Sewer ejector? Jeezus man! Stop taking such large craps! You're plugging up the drain!

Just to relax I washed my car, but I wanted to show you how the panels sound so different when they are deadened, I recorded this because I'm about to treat the front fender panels and hood.
