Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[sqcomp]

Everything is gone. I'm going to let go of my P-01 for stupidly cheap as well (relatively)...

I sold the signed L8s and all my SEs. At this point, I'm moving on from HAT and Hybrid Audio. Don't get me wrong, great speakers. I just know what the soul of the company is...and I don't like it.

ANYWAY, I'm waiting for two 5 channel amps coming soon. They're going to bridge down into two 3 channels and give me just as much headroom as the monster DDs. I still have to unload that 4 channel.

I digress, we're looking at 230 x 2 & 440 x 1 on the left and then the same for the right side...in a class D amplifier. I already have the sub amp, at 1000 x 1 D class as well. So, think vertical (tri) amplification. I'm going to try to see if I can hear a difference. I read that the stereo separation is supposed to be better using this method.

I'm also saving a heck of a lot of space and weight. I actually have to re-tool my amp rack. I'm thinking of using some LED lighting both above and below the amps to produce a cool look. I'll also have to retool the pillars and sail panels. That's the easy part since they're mostly there already.

I've purchased a neat new XAV-701HD piece from Jim. I enjoyed the fact that it has true 5 Volt pre outs. I'll check to see if it has a more linear application of the Voltage across the pot range versus the top end boost that the P-01/P-99 has.

The new components will come after I sell the P-01. I have plans...

I'll also be repairing the Bit One at Pyramid Audio Repair. They did such a good job with the P-01, I won't hesitate to use them again. Chris Lewis, the tech who worked his magic on the P-01, said he'll take a stab at making the Bit One as good as it can be and actually fix the mods correctly (instead of the way they were from the HAT engineer that cost me a world championship).
