Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade - Page 30 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah, totally.

But AFAIK, Derick Veliz is NOT competing in audio SQ competitions.
And much of this thread is about his system.

I play guitar too. And all players are fussy about the "tone" they like.

For me: ENGL POWERBALL all the way!
( an amp that I do not own, but would like to someday.... )

Don't get the wrong impression...I'm just giving AM a ribbing. I COMPLETELY understand where we are. If I hadn't gone to Iraq, I'd be into some components that are a LOT less pricey. You can take that one to the bank.

You notice what source Derick is using...Someone want to call his stuff "boutique"? He he

Alien Mantis · 09-19-2010, 10:41 PM

Yeah, it's all in good fun.

SqComp knows what he's doing. I just like to pick on him sometimes.

Isn't Derick running one of them DEX-P99RS source units?
( basically, same as the Carrozeria )

It may be made by PIONEER.... but with a $1,349 MSRP.... that sucker is BOO-KOO BOUTIQUE!

( yes, I know, it is a really sweet head unit! )

Me thinking!
I guess I need a new amp!

I did find what was causing the engine noise and it's one of the (RCA) channels of the 4x65 amp

Feels like there is some thing loose inside, if I hold it, and apply pressure the noise goes away, so I end up opening the amp and looking for something loose but every thing looks ok, I put it back together and put it back in the Yaris.

So there could be some thing wrong with my amp, I wonder if I can still use the 2x150 watts for one channel? and then I could add a 4th amp for the subwoofer(s) I recognize my amps are old, and AM is right, today's technology is way much better than 10 years ago.

more testing this week.

You guys are great! some times I really need my distractions! besides cutting the lawn

Thanks
D.

Any thing in mind?

Alien Mantis · 09-21-2010, 03:48 PM

WHAT are you going to power with the new amp?

Be specific, please.

( and WHERE will you mount the new amp? )

The amp goes behind pilot's seat, on the floor.

1.-Mids: Hertz HL-70 3" full range

2.-Highs: Pioneer Premier 1" Titanium Dome Tweeters

To be honest, there are so many amps out there, it is hard to recommend one of them.

You pick a few that you like, and let us know.

You can find something in just about any price-range, but there is also alot of JUNK out there.
It's also easy to get sucked into the higher-end stuff, when you really don't need it.
Try to find a balance between price/performance/name-brand/features.

Good luck.

Pick up a soundstream or PPI !!!

In all seriousness though Derick, if i were in your shoes, i would go to the DIYMA classified section and post a 'wanted' thread.
Something along the lines of : " Looking for 4x65 sq amp "
Have the deals come to you!! Win win. Then you can post some of the deals on here and we can help you narrow down the selection ?
