SQcomps install

[_S7V7N_]

I'm getting ready to rip up my trunk again and redo the amp set-up..I need a bigger box..Wayy bigger.

[_S7V7N_]

How much airspace you working with ? Right now i'm like at 1.0 cubic ft per chamber, i want at least 2.0 Per sub. I'm going to go sealed for now till i Burn these puppies out.

Trust me i know how it is. When i go in and ask the mechanics about upgrading the alternator, or what's the fuses on the positive side of the battery terminal, they ask " why " i say " why not ? " then they see the set-up and are amazed that a yarii can put a bit of thump out. I plan on keeping this lil biatch just cause it's good on gas and it's almost paid off, it's an 07 with 17 k on it, this thing will last me forever.

People are stupid, end of story. I could take one of those 1/32 model replica cars and put a loud stereo in one of them (tho it wouldn't be loud when playing below 1khz).... Size doesn't matter... it really doesn't, ESPECIALLY when talking about the size of the car.

They just have no imagination. They're stuck on only crx's and hatchbacks being the only cars to throw a nice system in. I usually just smile and say " crank up your system " . End of story. Majority of the time they give you the ol story of " well i had one a few yrs back but i took it out because it started to give me probs ..bla bla bla """ It's far easier to be a hater than to say " wow bro, good luck on the install "

"retarded expensive" is a term I use very very loosely. I just looked around for the quote I got from the dealer for cost, couldn't find it of course, and the hertz website is giving me a "80004005" error so I'm pretty much going completely off my terrible memory. For two 15"s (unsure what line, HXsomething?) I think it was ballpark of $1100. Granted, they did have a ridiculously high sensitivity rating, the power handling didn't quite excite me all that much, obviously since I can't remember what it was. But $1100 for two 15s? That seems a little excessive. If I had some numbers I could throw it in that sexy spreadsheet you like so much. Maybe their site will be up tomorrow.

Also, ditch the spare tire. You don't need it. It's pretty worthless when you do need it. Can only go like 35 on it or something to that effect. And probably 90% of the time when you "need" it you are in an area where you could just call up a friend and say "hey I need help! Can you come pick me up so we can go grab my spare really quick?" What I do (since I have my amps in my spare tire spot) is have a fifth tire in my apartment, so if I get a flat it's a quick swap then I can just patch/plug the other tire whenever it's convenient for me.

Buuuuuuuuuuut that's just my personal donut opinion.

By MEK, you're talking about the hardening agent used in glass work... correct?

That sounds great sqcomp, 2 questions, would you have the part # for the Bezel?

and is this the Metra kit?



Thanks

If you go into the dealership they cna print off a dash blow up that will detail the parts you need. The nice thing is that we're ordering the part on the shop's account with the dealership. That should save a few dollars AND get the dealership to deliver the part to me. Nice.

Thanks, I called Toyota (local) asked for the Bezel, they sell it for $86.21, witch is Ok with me.

Now a "Dash" blow up, for the parts that we need...? what other parts do we need?

is this what you are talking about?



Thanks

I'll try to find more diagrams for the DASH, maybe here in YarisWold we could find one.

So the Kit is about $30, do we need to buy the Harnesses too?

Three things:
1) Nice Makita. The light weight is awesome for doing installs.
2) Looks really nice, excited to see it installed.
3) WTF is up with the stack of change?

I see the teammate with the FIT switched to a MkII JBL GTI... should net better scores. The GTI's with the split gap motor had a very flat Bl curve... low distortion, and one of the lowest inductance ratings I've ever seen on a sub. Great SQ woofers if put in the right box.

Clearly we need to get a mod in here to delete some of these pictures because that looks like sex...

[goku87]

Stop editing your post. I had to redo this one like three times because you kept adding stuff lol.

"We're thinking of painting the amp rack the same color as the grey trim of the radio console and putting a couple LEDs in there to show it off." - i'm assuming the rack, yes? you should make them blink to the beat. Nothing says rice quite like LEDs that light up with the music.

Heck if you did that, you should get the triColor LEDs, then use the red for low frequencies, green for mid, and blue for high (see how I picked the colors vs audio freqs, because red has longest wavelength, and blue is shortest? I'm clever).

Jerk lol.

Did you decide on what LEDs you wanted to get? Because I'm telling ya, that was a pretty epic idea I had...

[goku87]

Every hertz I've heard at the local dealer here has sounded pristine. If he's cutting you a good price, then I say go for it.

Since you are running sealed, the subs are more likely to hit x-max.. cause sealed boxes allow for subs to move a lot when playing down low... This means a FLAT BL curve is even more necessary than if you were running ported.

Scour the net for Dumax/Klippel tests for both subs to see if there are any BL charts for either... Manufacturers usually don't release that info, cause it will really show weaknesses if the sub has them, and the motor is usually the place to look.

I think there is a forum somewhere in which one guy has ran DUMAX on literally a hundred or so subs... I'm sure the ID has been done, in fact, I probably have an ID dumax on my computer somewhere.... i'll do some hunting over the course of the next week.
