Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade - Page 78 - Toyota Yaris Forums

sqcomp · 08-06-2011, 09:50 AM

They judge SQ on tonal accuracy (basically, does the instrument sound like it's supposed to?)

spectral balance (does said instrument sound right with the other instruments playing on all the other frequency ranges?)

Sound stage (width, height, positioning, depth, and ambiance)

Imaging (are the tracks played correctly placed on the sound stage)

sound linearity (how well does the system perform at low, moderate, and high output levels)

absence of noise (mechanical, floor noise, external mechanical noise, alternator whine)

ergonomics (how well does the system operate and flow in it's design)

Now, those pillars you notice above are Derick's...not mine. Notice how well he snugged his Mid ranges into the pillar? That's fun!

The next step for me on my setup will be more in depth. I'm talking reconstructing the dash area completely. You wouldn't even be able to see the speakers that are on the A-pillars. They'll actually be out in the engine bay

Yes, in the engine bay. I will have to have another car before I start that project...and the room to take the Yaris down to buld on that level. I have the knowledge thanks to Scott Buwalda. I'm in the pre-planning stage at this point.

@ Lil - That's Don Dorsey's, "Ascent". I do believe it is on the Time Warp CD...I have it in my car.

I'll get the track listing soon. You'll have to excuse my succinct answers...I was told by my chain of command today that I'd be attending the Soldier of the Year board for our Brigade. I have 13 hours until I go in front of the board.

I'm a little miffed. less than 24 hours to prep for the SOtY board. Great. Everyone else knew over a month ago...

@ D - you know that you always have me out on the other coast for ideas. I want to help in your quest for great sound.

Thanks my friend!

I know I have a very good SQfriend!

this is only the beginning.

derickveliz2 · 08-09-2011, 12:45 AM

I was searching for some photos and I found this... good memories!

13 years ago, I did have a small idea...

10" woofer in a band pass box for lows

2 8" woofers in sealed boxes for midbass

3.5" Mids

and Tweeters not shown...

Even a year ago I had no idea about Time Alignment, Image, etc

"what a difference"

derickveliz2 · 08-12-2011, 02:18 AM

2 a.m. and I just finished installing the IDQ700.2

It's working, turn on and I get music from my 6.5 inch Hifonic Zeus components. (if these sound good, I can't wait to put the HAT L6s)

I can't tell how loud they play now, everybody sleeping, just got it to volume 1, to make sure it's working.

We'll see tomorrow.

Why I didn't get this Amp before!!!

D.

sqcomp · 08-14-2011, 09:11 PM

simple answer...

Because you didn't know about it AND you didn't want to afford it.

Truth.

I agree, I'm not going to disagree with that,

it's just fantastic!

Now, let's try to put the L6's in the doors and see what happens!

The important thing is to keep asking questions.

-Where and how do I plug in this little guys for the amps?

derickveliz2 · 08-17-2011, 02:09 AM

My little giant is here! "HAT I6SW"

This is what a BOSE sub-woofer should look like!

sqcomp · 08-18-2011, 04:32 AM

How many amplifiers are you using in your system? We also need to work on a neat enclosure for the I6SW...
