Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

Ok, I'm going to have to do this very slow, 3 or 4 hrs/week. So hang on...

I'm pulling out the rear speakers AKA "junk" and will install 2 new ones.

Then I'm going to apply some deadening materials to it.

Here are the pictures...

REAR DECK

Out of curiosity, what process did you do to take off the rear C-pillars? Was the back deck matting off first before the pillars?

I'd look at that back deck link...but these damned governemnt computers don't like to open those sites...

Gotta run 5 miles and eat chow before I take a look back at the room.

Looking forward to it!

Ha ha...

I love it. I've got a big smile on my face right now. In a month or so, you'll see the same pictures on my photobucket account. I'll drop that headliner as well. I've got to get those rear speakers out like yours to make some room for the woofers to "vent" into the cabin. I'll be putting some roadkill and foam on both sides of the deck. I absolutely know that two IDQ 12"s off a Q1200.1 will have the ability to blow a hole in that Yaris. We're going to be "blocking" the subs off from the rest of the trunk with some plexi and forcing the pressure to vent up into the cabin instead of hitting the back of the trunk. It should be a nice showy little piece...

I like the separate file on picasaweb with a strangely familiar Yaris on there! :) I'll do my best over these next few months to have more pictures up for you.

sqcomp,

In one of your threads for the back seat you wrote: "It’s a good tug on both sides that releases the two seat clips from their respective holders."

That means that I have to pull it up really hard?

Thanks

Derick

It's really more of an awkward pull, especially the first time, than anything else. You'll look at it and say...huh, that looks like it should come off easier. It's just a tight fitting valance piece. That's all.

You'll understand once you do it.

After that whole gutting of the interior, I hadn't broken anything. I give credit to Toyota's parts quality.

Thanks I'll try tonight, I don't feel like treating so hard my car, but I guess that is how it's done, unless we are missing something here.

I did manage to break the panel that goes in the trunk covering the back of the bumper, you know that long section right below the trunk lid. It's not that bad but it has a small crack of about 3-4 inches.

try using peel and seal for sound deadening, way cheaper than dynamat and just as effective. Just google it and see

yeah... peel n seal works great for the floorboards or other panels that aren't exposed to the sun. I've had some issue with it getting too warm and slowly peeling off if it were on a plastic panel, or on a metal panel that is warmed by the suns rays.... for example, the doors or roof.

I know which panel you're talking about too! That little bastard was giving me fits as well.

Back seat is OUT! took me 1 hour just for that. What a pain.

I started putting some CLD tiles on the back deck and left quarter panel! this stuff is amazing!

I'm getting addictive to nock nock .... peal and stick and tock tock; it's almost 2 am and I need to go to bed, at least for a couple of hours before hitting the road for work.

It's going slow but I'm really enjoying it.

Oh I hear you...you have seen what I've gone through.

How difficult was the back deck compared to the back seat?

The back deck is a piece of cake compare to the back seat, no problem at all.

Originally I was only going to see how to take it out, and in 20 min I end up doing what you see in the picture above. Do not count taking the speaker out, that was another 20 minutes.

I took the OEM 6x9 speakers out, to my surprise they are light like a feather, compare with 3.5 speakers...
