Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade - Page 92 - Toyota Yaris Forums

derickveliz2 · 12-10-2011, 09:12 AM

I've been trying to work on the L6s in the doors, so far I made a baffle for the pilot's side (see photos below) ugly and painful, I'm going to make a plan (drawings) and ask a local friend to cut the other side for me. The good thing is that you don't see this, any way shame on me, but it works and that is what counts.

On the other side, we (as family) have been sick and barely had time to work, I did take some pics of the kick's with the MIDs but still in my camera, will upload later on.

The important thing is that we're all still moving forward. I've got my driver's side a pillar out with the tweeter baffle all glued into place. I'm looking at carving out some more of the OEM plastic so I can make the angles more agreeable aesthetically and output-wise. I may just paint the a pillars the OEM color as well to match the entire front of the car up.

Even with the panel foamed, you're trying to force a crap ton of mid bass energy through the OEM grill. This is why I opened up mine. You have a heck of a lot more free energy and less panel rattle with that OEM grill removed. I'll be finishing up the finish of the panel trim on mine as soon as the a pillars are roughed in.

No way! I'm cutting the panels for sure! Too much macho power going through,
They have to breath free!!!!!! I recognize that my system sounds so good (at least to me) thanks to the great Midbass I'm getting, can't wait to feel the L6s with the power of the ID amp.

and...

I want to see the L6s move!... I'll make a simple grill cloth some day.

also I'm adding some sort of water protection, just in case! made of left overs of MLV, who said recycle!

Water protection for L6s

D.

derickveliz2 · 12-12-2011, 02:21 AM

L6s should breath...

D.

derickveliz2 · 12-12-2011, 02:24 AM

Next there is some special deadening... what I mean is to reduce vibrations (rattles caused by the L6's as much as possible)

sqcomp · 12-12-2011, 02:33 PM

You're going to find that the squeaks and rattles happen on the extreme ends of the control bezels in the doors.

Drope me an e-mail D. I've got an idea about the panel and perhaps some really effective deadening.

sickpuppy1 · 12-12-2011, 11:01 PM

put it back in and spray it with undercoating or sprayable bed liner to keep it stable.

derickveliz2 · 12-13-2011, 02:28 AM

So the L6 is singing, didn't have time to get a feeling since there is no door panel.

Speaking of door panels (pilot side) it's getting heavy, I like the peal and stick therapy! thought

and took advantage of the Extruded Butyl Rope to make my door heavier... (LINK)

I knew I was going to run out of EBR (and I need more for the passenger's side) so I called Don at SDS (LINK) for more! [Nice talking to you Don, I know you are following this thread] Thanks again.

Put some of the butyl rope pieces here:

The L6 makes that Zeus look like a little teeny speaker...

It could get a little messy and probably very hard to uninstall later, I didn't have time to go out and give them a try (not a lot of work in December), but I'll let you guys know the outcome!

OHhhh Yeah! L6 are bigger, and they are not beefy like a V8 muscle car, more like a racing car very light but strong, hit hard and FAST! would be my description to other speakers out there.

Derick,

I'm coming at you!

Got the passenger's side trunk glassed and have the amp case fitted in...

Next is the driver's side trunk glassing. The A-pillars are roughed in. I'll have to take some pics of that for you to show my aiming. The kicks are roughed in and need some sanding to go to paint. I've also got to get the radio bezel dremeled out to fit the Bit One controller...then off to paint.

Get moving with yours Derick! Action! :)
