Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[sqcomp]

No. One of my previous systems I had though.

More pics:





^The RCAs and power is run, at least temporarily run on the power wire. I see myself today bolting up a ground and running the speaker wires to the amps.

The Bit One, looks like if I would like just a little bit "one"! jeje, wonder what would do for you over the P-99 in real life. Just curious, looks awesome.

What are those circles on your bumper?

I finished the a-pillars they are pounding music! awesome center image, just like if there was a speaker some where floating in the middle of the windshield above, over the instrument cluster.

Yes I can tell the stage got slightly smaller by 1 or 2 inches, but after a while, just been amazed on how good you can spot vocals/instruments/etc on the stage, it's a trade that I'm happy to take, and I haven't played with T/A or EQ, this is where the fun starts.

I'll post some pictures of the a-pillars in place tomorrow.

I wish you could see how big my smile is!

D...let me take the next step in the tuning. I'm under the impression I can widen the stage with some creative crossover play that involves phasing and TA.

Look for some hints from me over the next couple months on how we're going to move our image out well onto the hood and stretching from mirror to mirror.

Can't wait! That's awesome!

mean while I'll install the HAT L6s, and hopefully the HAT I6SW, and of course the IDQ-700.2

The bumper? That's backup sensors. It's a real nice, relatively inexpensive, upgrade. I've also got blinking brakelights like you see on the ambulances, firetrucks, and race cars.

What does the Bit One do over the P-99? The equalizer is 31 band 1/3 octave per output channel (in expert mode) that can be set for each individual channel or for linking the left/right respective channels. Adjustments are made in .2 dB increments to + or - 12 dB.

Another nice feature is the Dynamic EQ for the subwoofer. For lack of a better term this is a highly adjustable loudness feature.

The Bit One includes a DRC (Digital Remote Control) that is used to select different inputs, to switch between the four preset tunes and to adjust the Balance, Fader and Subwoofer volume. It is also used as the master volume for all input sources.

Crossover Filter type 12 / 24 / 36 / 48 dB Linkwitz
6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 / 36 / 42 / 48 dB Butterworth
Crossover Mode Hi Pass / Low Pass / Band Pass
Equalizer Filter type 31 Band, ISO 1/3 Oct, 20 Hz÷20 kHz
Equalizer Gain +/- 12 dB
Delay 0÷22 ms (748 cm / 294.5 inch)

Let me know the details!

Actually...here's the site:

Let me know what you think.

Well would you look at what's up and playing?



I've managed to get it to a VERY similar tune to what I had on the deck before the Bit One. Now...I have a couple weeks to play with the tune. After the show at Soundsgood, I have a year to play around with the tune and massage the system to make all the speakers and enclosures perfect and harmonious.

What gets me though, I haven't figured out yet if I can adjust each side of the slope independently like I could with the P-01 crossover. It'd be a pisser if you couldn't...

And the pictures... (sorry I didn't have my SLR so point and shoot for now)

You can see in the pictures above I'm trying to gain some width pushing the Mids out from each other.

Moving the tweeter to the a-pillar didn't help, I gain so much reflections from the windshield and it started to be very hard for tuning.

Stage width suffer a lot, I did gain some depth by moving the speakers away from me but didn't work any way.

D! Those pillars are secksi!

Here's something fun for you:



It isn't an accurate representation of the actual sound. The vocals are NOT echoey inside the car at all. That is the mono mic on the camera reacting to the two sides' wavelengths and all the reflections in the vehicle. There is actually bass as well, you can sort of hear the sound fade in and out...that's the bass hitting and overloading the little handheld camera mic. You also don't get left and right separation and at the end with that explosion, on this camera, you hear almost a digital report...it's the camera and NOT the system. Also, the background noise (hiss)? That's the camera as well. The only noise one could maybe remotely hear *might* be the CD transport. Other than that, the system is dead quiet in person.

I also kept the lights off so that you wouldn't see anything to distract you. It's just the IASCA SQ judge in me not wanting to bias anyone.

That opener sounds like the opener on the TELARC Time Warp CD. What other tracks are they currently using?

[sickpuppy1]

Interesting recording! You mean and camcorder recording on Photobucket isnt a good playback medium?! who'd a thunk it,lol The pillars turned out real good SQ.
I can see where that CD covers so many parts of the audio spectrum and system setup. Dont know what I was expecting to hear, but I didnt envision that.
Now how do they judge though? Is it a combination of metered measurement and judge discretion or is it all one or the other. Know what I'm asking?
