Pricy!

Yes BUT...

...I can tell you with 100% certainty that it is worth the money. For instance, today, I had two people cut me off and then slam on their brakes on my way home from work. These douchbags (clinical term) are perfect targets for a wakeup call.

I wouldn't feel bad one bit if the horn sent them into another lane. Preferably not in a firey crash...cause I'd be obligated to stop and pull the scumbag out of the car. Karma is a bitch and with all the instances of people bullying the yaris, it will come around in spades.

I want horns...

sqcomp · 02-05-2012, 12:51 PM

You do! I can walk you through the install. How about this, if I can make a K3la fit under the front clip of the car like I have my buell horns now, I'll sell you the 4 horn kit after I'm done installing the Nathan.

The nice thing is that you'd have direct support on install from me directly. I could even sell you the pneumatic fittings and hoses. It would almost be a "drop in" project.

Okay...that's it D...you MUST move out to the West coast. There's too much we have to accomplish! :D

Spidermandud · 02-05-2012, 03:18 PM

I'm thinking of putting one of these on the Samurai:

As far as the Yaris goes; i can see the uses popping up everytime I take a drive; but currently lack the fundage to do anything about it. I'll just keep following the thread and drooling for now haha.

I thought I was the only one experiencing this.

After playing and tuning for a while with the HAT L6s... these are my thoughts:

I swear that the ZEUS drivers had excellent MID-BASS, many people agree with me and how good they play, good speakers on a good install...

But I'm AMAZED on the HAT L6s PERFORMANCE!... here is where I would put the money! I have no words to describe THE AMOUNT OF BASS I get from these little speakers, AMAZING!

I take my HAT off.

Derick,

There's a reason I'm so deeply affiliated with Hybrid Audio Technologies. It's what got me started in the first place, a passionate non-compromising approach to sound quality from a grass roots "start up" company.

After this last CES, Scott decided to give me business cards:

I digress, show everyone the latest picture where you have the L6v2 speakers. I believe I have my L6SEs in the same location as you do. When I performed my sound check, I'm going to have to tame the bass, which especially in my situation is MUCH better than having to gain the mid bass frequencies up. Why? Because I have essentially two processors that can cascade the signal.

Also, D...you just wait. I have a distinct feeling that you might just be a fan of the Legatia subwoofer coming out. You may just be able to rework the enclosure you have now for the I6SW for a different mounting baffle. Think of it, instead of a 6" sub up front, you'll have a 13.5" sub...

Speaking of new stuff. We should get you into the L3v2 midrange...

derickveliz2 · 02-09-2012, 02:26 PM

I keep my self wondering why sounds so good... HAT L6's are worth every penny! best investment so far (talking about speakers)

I gave the IDQ12 another chance (in the trunk):

Yes it feels more powerful! maybe too much for SQ music, specially when my seat vibrates (I dislike), instead of feeling the bass in my chest, it may have to do with the gain I get from the trunk into the cabin. Sounds great though, but in the SPL area, not SQ. and my stage gets pull over towards me, no good.

No matter how much Time Alignment I do, and how powerful the L6's are I can't lie, I still can fill the subwoofer it's in the trunk.

The little Subwoofer in the front (I6SW) is sweet! not a "Bass Head" fan, but SQ is fantastic! what's up with the 13.5" sub?

Yes, we have the L6s in the same location (OEM door area) see pictures below...

I'm hopping to get a pair of L3SEs after uncle Sam returns me some taxes, we'll see.

sqcomp · 02-09-2012, 03:02 PM

What's your crossover point on the sub when it's in the trunk? What's your crossover for the mids?

^ Yes, there's more sanding that has already been done. This is why I put high build primer on it, so I coud see where I needed to fix it up.

I'll kick up some new pics of my door panels when I get them painted and epoxied onto the OEM panel.

D and I love us some HAT...

LPF 40Hz for SUBWOOFER in trunk
HPF 50Hz for LOWs

D.

sqcomp · 02-09-2012, 09:53 PM

Why the gap for the lows? What are the slopes on those?

I don't remember the number right now, but the sub looks like at 45 degrees and the Lows a little bit more than 45 degrees maybe 60 or so.

I usually move them up and down a click or 2, it depends if I'm on the highway or in back roads. (not a good thing, but I'm learning what does what)

Bad news for me, I did my taxes and didn't work so well this time )o:

I'm going to have to start selling audio stuff.

So what do I have: (Just thinking loud)

2 pioneer amps

3 10" solo-baric kickers subwoofers

1 IDQ12 (maybe I'll keep this one)

1 10" Bazooka

and more...

mmm... I'm going to organize my self and let you guys know before I put all these stuff for sale.

D.

sqcomp · 02-10-2012, 01:02 PM

D,

Get on my FB and look up Jeremy Weaver. See if he wants to take any of your stuff.
