Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

What do you recommend?
I am aware that the efficiency of such a small box might be lousy, but I am willing to compensate this with some more watts :D
(and I have about 300ft of almost AWG 5 at hand )

Derrick had it in the left part of the passenger foot well. Now I am 6'2" and over 300, and I still could easily fit in the passenger seat with zero spacial issues.

The thing does sound wondrous, and likes tons of power too.

That would be awesome. I've tried to get a couple people to help me, it just didn't happen. I'd be the type of person to figure out how to wire the head unit and turn the car into a grenade. Supposedly impossible, yet I'd mess it up in that way. It will happen, and it will be awesome.

You won't like me if I tell you.



Yea we should try to get together again and you can walk me through putting it in. I am pretty sure I have everything I could possibly need, Sqcomp sent me an entire wire factory along with the deck. I just need to also buy an inexpensive amp for the stock speakers. Although my local Subaru dealer is getting a STi Launch edition in, maybe if I fake some numbers he would sell it to me. =)

I'm going to be in Dartmouth next week, I'll let you know!

The Big 3 is gone, I still have the 10" Bazooka
The Hybrid subwoofer with custom enclosure for the front of the Yaris (I saw your PM, this little one does play low, but it won't play loud enough so your neighbors would feel it)
I have the 3" Mids Hertz HL-70
and... I'll have to check downstairs and report back.

I had the guy who both my Yaris come and buy the Bezel for a double dim monitor...

You're reminding me that I need to take the speakers out of my SRT.

*sigh*

All I need to hear in that car is the turbo and the exhaust note.

I'm getting the itch to put that 15" back in the Yaris though. I like big bass and I cannot lie...

Oooh! Speaking of big bass, I now have a personal "in" at Digital Designs in OK. This should be a fun contact to use over time.

Speaking of Turbo... this little CLA drives very mellow in E mode but when you switch to S and step on the gas, wait for 1/2 second the Turbo kicks in and the double clutch gearbox transform this little puppy into a beast! it's like day and night! and the exhaust tone it's wonderful! It's very impressive for only 200 hp, compare to the CLS with 450 hp.

I can't imaging how good your SRT is, it should be awesome!

About DD, where can I get more informtion about the w6.5 like sensitivity, internal volume need it if installed in a sealed box, etc... I'm looking for midwoofer options to match a pair of ID Horns, I was going to buy a pair of 18sound 6ND430 4 Ohm LINK but this one is good for the door or in kick area but vented outside in IB configuration.

That's why I was so jazzed about the idea of an AMG! You have a nice advantage...you now have a vehicle that is really two cars in one (a daily and a sports).

Which woofer was that again? Hybrid or Digital Designs?

You are right! it's like having a Transformer ready to go!

Here is the LINK for the W6.5

Thanks

Derick over at Diyma Look up Exodus Anarchy 6.5's and Crescendo PWX6.5.

[sqcomp]

Oh yeah! The 6.5...

I have never used them. That being said, Jim has mentioned that they're formidable to say the least. I should buck up and put a pair of them in the Yaris doors. Although taking out the Voce coaxials is pulling at my soul.

I could re install some tweeters into the sail panels. I have the big S4b I could use to power that setup.

anyone want to take some Audison Voce X6 coaxials off my hands? I'm down for experimenting with the DD's for Derick...

[sqcomp]

D,

Heads up...I'm talking with Jim right now. I may trade him my ML3800 for all four DD speakers (the two W6.5's and two AT28 tweeters) working off the crossovers on the S4b I have.

I may put the dual 8" sub enclosure in the car again to keep up with the mids...

If the mid woofers pass the "sqcomp" SQ test I'll work with you to get you a pair.

OH! Do you remember ever talking with Aaron at the shop? He is now working for DD in OKC! If you even need help with DD, you have an "in" with the company.

[derickveliz2]

Thanks!

I do have some issues in the CLA to resolve first.

1.- Where to put the P99, under the dash??, above the center console??, I don't know for sure???

2.- If I go with Horns, I may have to go with Mini Horns, because the Airbags, foot heating ducts, OBD connector and hood opener

3.- Worst case scenario I swap the P99 for a Bit 10 or similar and use OEM head unit with OEM Door speakers and Sail OEM Tweeters (I don't really want to go this way)

My goals are:

1.-Keep it simple and stock look if possible
2.-if I sell or trade later it should be an easy task to uninstall
3.-I would like to try a pair of Horns.
4.-I would like to use the P99
5.-Use Door speakers as Midbass woofer
6.-Possibility to use OEM tweeters at sailpanels even if going with Horns
7.-IDQ12 is going IB in the Trunk
8.-Use only 2 Amps and they go in the Trunk... ID (175x2) and PB 5.1 (75x4+200x1)

and Finally if YW doesn't want me to talk about my new build in here, please let me know and I'll just plug a LINK.

Thanks again!

I vote this stays here. This place would be slow without this thread.

Give other link too though.

Derick can that P-99 go in the glove box ? That interior looks pretty darn tight.

Does the factory unit have any sort of Auxiliary ? You're going to need to still access your factory unit on a regular basis....i wouldn't recommend messing with any of it.

If this is the way your interior looks :



What does the lil compartment under your temp gauges look like ? does it easily pop out ?

I thought about the glove box, but too small
No Auxiliary from factory
I rather leave the OEM system alone and have a complete separate one
Yes that is the interior of the CLA

Do a bit ten. Save the p99 for later.

That bit ten is smaller than the deck and will allow you to keep the factory look which is nice.

As for the w6.5, we have a limitation. The frequency response is 60-300 Hz. I'm looking at the AW6.5 right now with Jim. I'll keep you in the loop.

oK, Lets talk "Bit Ten"

-Only good for a 2 way + Subwoofer right?

-I can plug 2 sets (4 channel) of channels into Bit Ten... Front door speakers and front tweeters to get the signal from the MB head unit (MB=Mercedes Benz) the Bit Ten is going to de-equalize and then provide 3 channels out like L+R Midbass, L+R Tweeter, + Subwoofer

-Does the Bit Ten has Left and Right EQ?

-An finally... how much it costs?
