It has been a very nice day......sun was out.....not too cold......

This is what has to go in next......then the amp.......then the sub......giggle....

bzinn 1 · 03-20-2011, 02:09 AM

Today I managed to get the steering wheel changed over to the tC wheel,I think it actually worked pretty easy....took all of 30min.

*Astroman* · 03-20-2011, 03:00 PM

If it was so easy where's the pic?

bzinn 1 · 03-20-2011, 10:55 PM

Here is a couple.....really didnt get much done today....

STill got these to run.......

bzinn 1 · 03-22-2011, 01:00 AM

today was productive.......got that 0/1 ran from battery to fuse to interior of vehicle and to the amp......ground wire for amp in place....RCAs for sub and comps ran to amp from deck......and last but not least the amp is in the car and bolted to the rear seat frame....

I wil get pictures of it tomorrow.....it is literally 30" long and over a foot wide......took up the whole seat frame.

Still gotta run the relay wire from amp to the back of deck so it turns on when deck goes on......

bzinn 1 · 03-22-2011, 10:00 PM

Took speakers back out today,ran 12gauge wire to the speakers in the doors,ran them to the amp and fired it up......got a lot of tuning to do as the bass in the speakers is a bit too much.......

It all looks pretty bare and basic still......lots of coffee.

keep on with the pics !!!!! :)

Finally got some time to install foglights......I got them a long time ago on ebay.....wishing I had known Garm had a kit back then......took 4 long hours in the rain....no garage....

Headlights off/foglights on

Headlights on/foglights on

The relay or my brain in the kit was faulty.....most likely my brain....so I got a new relay from Autozone and changed the switch to one I had laying around and it turned right on....

Called the sub place and my box is still a week out on getting built so maybe 2 weeks till the thing arrives on my door......I really wanna get some bass in my car.....

bzinn 1 · 04-03-2011, 02:47 AM

Well today was somewhat productive.......bought a set of H11 Yellow bulbs for the foglights,much better light output now.

But the days best buy was.......DLS UP6 componants for $125......normally they cost a bit more....but I got kinda lucky

Can't wait to get them installed and tuned.

That's a mean looking hatchback --very intimidating stance.

What are the wheels spec?

15x7 35 offset front w 195/50s and 15x8 25 offset rears w 205/50s

bzinn 1 · 04-23-2011, 12:55 AM

42 days after ordering the sub box finally came......I will get it installed Sunday I hope...

At least for temporary...I gotta go buy supplies and start the interior build

I have to keep the rest of the weight I put in to the car at 114lbs or I go over the stock interior part weight I took out...I am pretty close now with harness bar....sub and box...amp...wires...deadening....

I am certainly gonna try to keep it under....no spare tire but I can get towing and can always call somebody to bring me one off their xB....

bzinn 1 · 05-02-2011, 11:24 PM

Oh no....interior will still probably be in pieces,but system will be in and working,it is as of yesturday....

I took it out yesturday and went for a cruise....and well with just a basic tune,xovers set to about 80hz on amp and deck.....sub at about 600w to break in......comps at 65w each......

Well lets just say it sounds beautiful,tones are crisp from the comps,and I meen so crisp that my buddy riding shotgun thought in one part of a song I was talking to him,turns out it was a part recorded in the track that he although listening to the song for years had never heard in the track.

Sub.......OMG......excursion is sick...it moves like a kangaroo on crack.....deep clean bass lows,sharp hits,the box is tuned to the sub so it has proper back spacing and airspace to allow full motor movement.

Sealed box and honestly I would be afraid to put it in a ported box......it would hurt bad,it does now in a sealed box.....

If you heard my tC....well this is louder.....stupid louder,the sub volume increases with every volume change.....it has a lot to get broke in but once it does it will be even louder....

As for rattles........once again I seem to have done a pretty good job...only one front to back we found was the rear plate frame.....body panels flex quite a bit.....pressure in car is not too over bearing,but it is there.....had AC on full blast and the sub was pusshing the air in the car back forward just as easily as the AC pushed it out the dash.

voltage,no issues even on the hits.....never went below 13.6v....on stock battery....hwo would of guessed....new battery is gonna be needed I am sure....

Sound out side of car.......almost none....just like tC....but sub does not like hatch open,it get moving too far out and I heard motor slap once or twice so shut hatch and it stopped,my guess is it need the pressure from bouncing off the hatch.....

Components.....they are keeping right up,who would of guessed...DLS is a very nice speaker....lol

All in all I think a years worth of research,some luck,and a lot of work I have a very nice basic system....still got a lot of tuning.....it is all built around driver and passenger positioning,windows up,hatch closed and earplugs in.....

also I should say.......all that is at 50% power,I am afraid to turn up to 75% to totally tune it in till it is broken in......lol....I took it up to 25 on the volume,75% for my deck is like 28 for a burp and it hurt my ears.....I doubt there is any need to go past 50% as the car is so small inside it would not be fun....well it would but you know.

Now to start the pods for the doors and Apillar tweets.....

bzinn 1 · 05-02-2011, 11:29 PM

Also thanks everyone who has checked this thread......I know it is taking forever,parts cost a lot and I am a poor man.....with a teenage son who never stops eating...lol

The car gets people looking everywhere......I will do my best to rep the Yaris/Vitz....and build a car that will make us all go wow.....that is sweet.

bzinn 1 · 05-24-2011, 01:50 AM

Well started door pods for the comps saturday,after about 24 hours of work in 3 days they are starting to take shape.....

4 layers glass of a tshirt

Bondo starting to take shape

Several layers liquid sound deadener on inside

I will have more pictures in a few days,these bolt in place over the stock speaker area and will pass through the panel and into the door.Speakers DLS UP6 Ultimates

Apillar for the tweeters still to begin next weekend.

bzinn 1 · 05-29-2011, 01:59 AM

Here is the last 24 hours work....my first set of pods I built from scratch and so far so good....lot of work to do....

bzinn 1 · 06-02-2011, 11:12 PM

Thanks Man........I am really happy I just picked up a set of Takata harness good till 2013 for $450 pick then up tomorrow,no mid pipe and header this month but Takata.....gotta do it......just gotta pick up the right eye bolts to mount to harnes bar and seat frame...think it is 7/16" threads,one set of 4 in 1" length and one set in 2" length for harness bar....lol....they are worth more than the seats and brackets....win win...

pictures up tomorrow night of them...4 point with latches on all 4 points hence the need for the eye bolts.....
