Send me a part number and what it is. Never know

Also. Ever heard of amp medics. Think they're in FL. May be able to explain the situation and have them troubleshoot it to factory condition.

Derick,

...2 hours of file transfers...

That's just placing files from one hard drive to another. I've still got to look at my original HD then cherry pick files from my current laptop...

So I put some of this stuff that looks like egg foam under the dash, near the MIDs specially on hard surfaces and where the sound wave of the MIDs and LOWs would hit before hitting my ears.

The issues here are "reflections" ...

After the foam was attached with double side heavy duty tape and turn my music and Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

My stage was gone, couldn't imagine how big the difference it makes. So I started tuning especially with individual frequencies, Levels, L+R EQ and T/A

In the middle of this process, some thing funny and at the same time educative happened:

When I was centering on 2.5 kHz with the L+R EQ the signal was hitting my left ear no matter what I did to the EQ, I started blocking with my foot and hand the left mid and left tweeter and nothing... then I noticed that when moving my hand near the left window (pilot's side) the signal would turn down. it was the Right MID hitting the glass on my left side then hitting my left ear. Who would imagine.

For the hell of it, put it on your back window. See what happens.

The HD is going out tomorrow. I'll call you if there are any Q's.

You don't want to know...

Me screwing up with the Auto T/A and EQ in my HU....

"Everything is GONE"

I had to start from scratch... 2 days later I'm where I was! and beyond... even better...

The Yaris is getting very intimidating...

Even the RTA from my phone looks much better...

Are you using pink noise for RTA measurements?

Yes, when I saved that screen shot pink noise was playing.
What should I used?
Do you need a special track?

Pink noise is ok. I believe your device microphone has issues .. 60-200 hz range does not seem realistic ..
