Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade - Page 139 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The temporary fix!

or should I say "taking care of some issues"

After doing this dirty improvised fix and some light tuning the stage gets a "WOW" factor!

Very solid, localizing vocals and instruments in the stage is fantastic!

So now comes the Design part! and how I'm going to address this issue in a proper way, I have some ideas!
stay tuned!

Let my speakers breathe!!! I'm talking 63Hz - 160Hz...

After going through the experience in meca and iasca I got some good feedback from the judges, one that called my attention was...

-Your Lows (HAT L6 in doors) sound like if you put a piece of cloth over. And you know what? yes the sound wasn't perfect, so I start digging about it, tuning, x-over points R+L EQ and more tuning until I got them a little better but on the shy side.

-At high volume I could tell something wasn't right, and I was getting a rattle once in awhile, I checked the Baffles... very solid, I checked the Deadening in the doors... Overwhelming but I was still getting that little rattle at high volumes, I had to tame them down to prevent that ugly rattle I was getting, I'm not putting a huge amount of Watts but 175 watts to each driver go to go somewhere...

-One day I had my left hand rest on top of the window's controllers and I could feel some little pressure (wind?) coming out from the edges like a small vented box with a subwoofer ... mmm so it got me thinking "Is the internal air space of the door enough?"...

-These L6 are designed as "Free Air" AKA IB (infinite baffle). So maybe Yes! the door is not big enough for the L6's and that is the pressure I feel at high volume levels. Same as I did when I had my mids in spheres with not enough airspace.

-So lets them breathe! I made 3 big holes in each door next to an existing little hole that had a rubber cap sealing the door. See pictures below.

I would put something behind those holes so that Water will not just drain into your door as it run down the seam between the doors

Everybody, a friend of mine in the car-audio world will have a mini-meet at my place it's going to be on 8-3-2013 from 3pm to 6pm and it's 15 minutes from Sturbridge MA.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

If only I lived on the East Coast..

derickveliz2 · 08-05-2013, 12:53 AM

Turned out a good event!
There were other 2 SQ cars there besides the Yaris and one SPL

This was awesome to listen... I mean feel!

The super loud 4 woofers according to the owner hits 140db!

This is what we wrote to me after the meeting:

"I must say that Yaris is really impressive. Your hard work has really paid off! "

I've been doing my home work too:

Blue is Before, Yellow is after (1st round at RTA)

derickveliz2 · 08-13-2013, 01:04 AM

And this is how EQ end up:

So I have a few requests for more detail pictures at the Big 3, so here we go:

From the Alt. to Battery:

From the Engine Block to Ground:

On that posi stud coming out of the alternator.

I ran mine under the shroud as well. I have mine split loomed coming out of the alty and just before it reappears on the other side, I've used heat shrink and tech flex to "pretty it up".

derickveliz2 · 09-04-2013, 03:32 PM

It sounds so nice, can't wait to get it again!

Mz3oh5 · 09-09-2013, 07:37 PM

Our going to love your sound system once it is done. TRUST ME!! Music is so enjoyable when you can truly feel it.

sqcomp · 09-10-2013, 11:06 PM

That last post made me chuckle...

Hey D, you might not enjoy music now, but you will when you're done.

*sigh*

It's a disease my musical brother...a disease. We're all carriers here. Of most anyone here, I think I know where DV's head is at.

(Note: no one needs to take offense to my post, the first part is dripping with humorous sarcasm)

Point? It's NEVER done! You'll always have ideas floating around in your head on how to improve the sound you currently have.

Jealousy is the biggest compliment!!
