Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[derickveliz2]

Now... after running the RTA and tweaking I did notice that the center image moved a little bit closer, to the left and came down a little bit too.

It's time for another Left+Right EQ centering Frequencies to bring the stage up and centered again... followed by some T/A adjustments (Time alignment)

Tuning, tuning and tuning, you click here and then you have to half click there, back and forth... This is FUN!

This makes me smile!

Sqcomp... and YarisWorld members....

In a short notice I'm writing here to let you guys know that sadly I'm going to...

sell my Yaris...

so the process of bringing my Yaris back to Stock will start soon, unless there is anybody interested in the way it is right now.

I haven't come up with a price (stock or as is) but if any body in YW is interested let me know before I put it for sale in my Local Area.

I guess I need the money now then I'll deal with next car, for the next 3 to 4 months my brother is going to let me use his car.

Yeah! Get a Nissan Juke!

Perhaps the ugliest vehicle on the planet...next to a Nissan Cube.

Where the hell do people come up with these suggestions? ...Especially on a Yaris forum.



versus something like this perhaps:




...Just a thought. A Merc might suit you Derick...

My cousin just bough a Juke and I told him if that was a Joke! lol

He let me drive it for a while and it's a nice car to drive, specially because the TURBO (maybe if I was 20 years younger that would be the car for me) but not much impressed to really own one at my age.

on the other hand... CLA it's TURBO too I like it SQcomp! and according to MB it gets 38 MPG on High way, Yaris claims 36 MPG and I'm getting 42 MPG

The CLA looks promising!

Here is the civilian version in white!

Also, unprotected large gauge positive wire under the hood looks kinda dangerous

Here is how I did mine http://photo.qip.ru/users/tolmach/96...#mainImageLink

Separate fuse for alt to battery cable http://photo.qip.ru/users/tolmach/96...#mainImageLink

Took me less than an hour to go back to this...

I'd sell the kit for $25 plus shipping perhaps.

I should start making these kits for people. Some of the grounding kits that we see sold for much more deliver a lot less value.

It's interesting how a lot of vehicle manufacturers are leaning toward the 2.0 liter engine. I'm seeing caddy use the 2 liter turbo as well as Merc...

I'd be interested in the Big 3 if you're selling =]

None of the DIY I checked for Big 3 had a fuse, it worked for me.
My Big 3 it's gauge 0, and on your pictures shows something that looks like gauge 4, not sure if it's better or not.

What do you mean with "unprotected"? that red and transparent plastic over the wires is really thick, and protects the wires very good, I don't see anything wrong.

BTW I received more than 10 PMs asking about the Big 3, I reply to only one the one who PM me first, so if you didn't get a response I apologize.

What TOLMACH is referring to is the live posi wire if you ever get into a wreck that knocks the battery and/or wires loose.

It's an even easier fix than spending the money that he did for the car audio fuse and holder. You can go to any auto parts store and buy a heavier Amperage fusible link. That will allow you to run it inline like TOLAMCH did yet have just as much fusible protection as you need and have a smaller sillouette versus using the car audio fuse solution.

Note, either works.

As for "unprotected"...that's a bit of a stretch. Like D mentioned, the clear sleeving offered from the wire itself is usually sufficient in the Yaris engine bay. Techflex, like what TOLMACH, is using is purely for looks. The techflex offers no true protection other than an easily melted layer of more plastic. I mean really...you use a hot knife to properly terminate the ends...
