On the Yaris was like 160-180 pounds extra, I weigh 204 so it's just like having a passenger with me all the time, but...

He is very quite and makes the commute very pleasant, still was getting 42 MPG and I almost forgot... music was awesome!

Happy New Year!

I have a naive question...

I would like to install a remote starter to my Toyota Sienna, I've never got into this kind of goodies but my wife would like to have it.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Ok, here is a little update!

Guess what this is? a piece of foam laying down in my living room?

I've done many subwoofer boxes, with good tuning and instal I had great results, and sometimes really bad experiences, but that's the learning process.

Some have been sealed, ported, isobaric or bandpass but I've never done an Infinite Baffle!

Yes this foam is my guide for the baffle, I thought about how to trim and fit, and how to cut it, but never really thought about how to put it in place; with the same angle of the rear seats, it's almost impossible to get it in position, I may have to cut it smaller then work around to seal the edges partially isolating the trunk from the cabin and most important is to get a strong mechanically support(s).

Also on the side, today I got a text message from Eric Stevens that my mini horns are ready to ship!

I do what I can, you know family, house, 2 jobs... not enough time!

Hopefully I'll have some 3D music in Spring!

Going back in the past, reading my own thread... I'm going to answer some of my audio questions posted here, I'm sure this would help many to understand what I've been learning in the last 7 years since I got my Yaris...

D.

derickveliz2 · 01-24-2015, 01:16 AM

At some point I had the image below... what I was doing wrong... it's called "LEVELS" the left speaker was kind of off-axis to my left ear and right speaker was more on-axis to my left ear so at some point will sound louder in my right ear, and "V" shape stage of the 7 drums that should be like a straight arrangement got distorted by not having a balance between speakers.

A very common factor in car Audio at early stages.

Lowering the levels on the right speaker... "problem solved" I just didn't know!

D.

derickveliz2 · 01-24-2015, 01:19 AM

Ok, I'm at page 40 and post around 1587

I'll continue other day, I have to get the garage ready, a snow storm is about to hit MA in the morning.

If you have any questions or would like to talk about something just let me know, I'll try to help.

Hi YarisWorld, I'm back to reality with all this white stuff!

While I was there I saw some amazing Yaris on the road, I couldn't take pictures since it was not a good idea to bring my new iPhone to the streets, not safe. But here are some pictures I got online.

They have a Yaris sedan that looks like a Camry!

derickveliz2 · 03-16-2015, 11:26 AM

Here is the HB...
