Wiring can make a good system great.

If you do it right, the wiring can be a showpiece.

I gave up on shows! lol too much work.

The goals for wiring are:

1.- Works
2.- Properly installed (safe, no noise)
3.- Hide as much as possible
4.- Not cutting or modifying the stock look

Remember I mention that there was a guy who wanted me to do his Tezla...?

Now there are 3 guys that want me to work on their cars, and Yes each one of them have a Tezla!

what a beast!

It's interesting to say that it's a beast.

It really isn't honestly. Mid 3's for HP. What IS really nice about it is the instant torque you get from the electric motors. It's hard to explain. There is no lag in power delivery as the only real thing holding your acceleration back is the tires and their ability to grip.

This i8 versus a C7? No hope for the i8 in the long run whatsoever. That being said, the i8 WILL get the jump.

Integration or not the idea behind my concept is to have a complete system without touching the existing, in other words I should be able to play OEM system and mine at the same time, so if the day comes and I let my CLA go, I can go back to stock without a problem. I'm going to install subs in the trunk, Mid-bass in kick-panels, HLCD ID-mini horns under dash for a 2 way Front Stage Active system.

Run with it! What are you thinking in the way of competition?

My goal it's not competing, but I feel very capable to do it right and not having to experiment much, I can make it sound as good or even better than the Yaris did.

I'm keeping everything clean, safe and OEM look, optimizing for Sound Quality, definitely a casual commuter Demo car for the WOW factor! and not afraid to listed in a competition if I have the opportunity I will.

But to be honest, at the end of the day... it's pure self satisfaction.

good man.

Keep those pictures coming!

derickveliz2 · 12-16-2014, 12:17 AM

I fired it up!

Connected a pair of Mid-Bass in small boxes and position them in the kick are trying to achieve best location and aiming to create a good stage, with the 12" ID subwoofer in a sealed box in the trunk.

X-over for the midbass was around 80Hz for HPF and 1.6 kHz for LPF thinking the ID mini-horns will take it from there.

After adjusting Phase, Levels, x-over, slopes and Time alignment I had a decent stage (from 20Hz to 1.6kHz), center image is about my chin-nose level in the center of the dashboard between the digital screen and the windshield, the width was about the sail panels and the a-pillars with no rainbow effect, depth was good too, but without the horns it's hard to appreciate the overall stage.

My plan is to install the left Mid-Bass in kick area as far left posible, I took out the plastic panel that covers the kick area to gain a couple of inches on the pilots side where also the left horn will be installed.
This makes the stage wider.

The PB amp only supplies 250 watts for the subwoofer and it's no match to the IDQ12 but even like this produces a good punch in my chest and blends really nice up front. In my regular driving position I can't tell the subwoofer is sitting in the trunk everything is coming from the windshield like it supposed to be, only if I turn my head 15-20 or more degrees right or left the subwoofer can be localized.

Seems like it adds a lot of weight :(
