Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[packetrace]

My HU is a kenwood mp-345U ...only one rca output....

I was looking for Alpine Type R for the sub....they look great and i had nice comment on them

Audiocontrol i mean...what you have already been talking in your thread....the one you have bought.....do i really need this

I'll go for the ported sub boxes

deadending i was just saying thank you...i will look at foam cld tiles and MLV i'll you use thos three

Battery....i've seen people changing the battery for a more powerful on and adding the big three of course but not changing the alternator and adding a second battery......perhaps...how much for an alternator of 200 amp ?

thank you!!

[packetrace]

i forgot to mention....1000 RMS for the sub (500 each)

100 rms for the 6x9

and 70 rms for the 6.5

Your HU will work fine. (add an EQ with subwoofer like the one I'm selling and you can hook up 2 or 3 amps)

Alpine type R is a good choice.

At some point a got an active cross over from AudioControl and I returned, and I'm very happy of doing so. After that I got a Pioneer P-99 with many features to control sound.

Ported boxes are loud.

If loud bass is what you want for the Trunk I recommend you 2 or 3 layers of Mat instead of CLD+CCF+MLV system.

Search the forum for battery/alternator information there is a lot of info here.

I hope it helps!

That's a lot of power!

I was running 65watts x4 for mids and tweets and its more than enough for me. 400 watts into the 10" woofer.

12 years ago I had a system in my small truck and people could hear/feel me coming 3 or 4 blocks away! it was a blast. Sound Quality (SQ was terrible tough) it was something like this:

HU with 1 RCA
EQ with subwoofer control (1 RCA input - 3 RCAs output [1 for subs])
400 watts for subs
60x4 watts for front and rear speakers
Two 12 inch pioneer woofers, Ported 2 cubic feet each

Check this thread I think you are going to like it!

DID YOU SEE THIS LINK?

P-99 is the EQ that has 1 RCA in and 3 RCA out ? and will control the sub level ? and mid, tweet and high level ? How much ?

So i would need and amp for my sub, a 4x65 for my front speaker and tweeter and a third amp (2x100)for my rear ?

add a second battery in the trunk and connect to the a new alternator.....and connect my actual battery to the new alternator ? all that with 0gauge wire

P-99 its a head unit not an EQualizer!




You just need 2 amps, for front speakers + tweeter use passive x over.

[packetrace]

ohh!!! I'm sorry !! so the EQ is the picture you show me right here ? what the model ? how much ?.....and it has 3out 1 in ..right ?

thanks for 2 the information on passive xover.....it connects with rca and then a wire to the tweeter right ?

thanks you for the time you give me !

EQ6500 Pioneer $50 + shipping 1 rca in 3 rca out

passive x over goes after amp. then splits in mid and tweeter.






Example of a passive x over:

Look at this graphic, basically it's what you want...

HU to EQ,

Then EQ to Amps

Amps to Speakers.

[packetrace]

Now it's time to think about what kind of box! Sealed? Ported? Bandpass Box? even Free Air, this sub is so flexible!

Thanks to everybody help me narrow down my needs! many thanks to sqcomp, Palmer and others for your offerings and help, I appreciate it a lot "I'm very thankful" .

i've heard great things about those subs. A couple of the high end forums I've seen just drool over anything ID puts out.

I'm sure you will love it.

I see them suckers ain't cheap! $280. Wow.

Since you are picky, you are probably going to have to try both a "ported" and a "sealed" box... just to see which one YOU like better.

I wouldn't even attempt to recommend anything to you.

lol

I seen your little pods. Really cool looking. They will look nice when you get them all sanded down and painted.

lol.... I think if you stick that IDQ sub in a bandpass box, SqComp is gonna drive over to your house and put his foot in your rear-end!



An IDQ in a bandpass box for an SQ system?

Wow... and I got sh1t for recommending an ALPINE Type-R sub.

Well I did some more resin + fiber glass on the spheres, reinforcing the week points and beefing up
the area that will be mechanically attached to the A-Pillar.





The resin set up quickly so mean while I did some Tweeter restoration...













These are small and from the bunch I have (Zeus 1" tweeter and JBL TS-25) they produce the sweetest sounds from all the above, the JBLs are louder and the Zeus are a little harsh. So if the restoration didn't screw them up, I'll try to do smaller spheres. If not, I may use the Zeus or start thinking about a new pair of tweeters!

How do you choose your mid speaker....by size....by Frequency Response ?
