Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[sqcomp]

build up the enclosure before adding bondo. Also remember, if you mix the resin too hot, it will become brittle.

Yes for sure! and that's a good tip for the MEKP describes me how it works.

Thanks

Did the green ball!!!

Much better than the first one, makes me think about doing a third ball, maybe after a dozen I'll get them pretty good! I'll post pictures later!

OK guys, I'm finally getting a replacement for the Bachuka! it will be an Image Dynamics IDQ12 V3.D4

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.

Alien Mantis... you made my day!

Also for my Amp needs... I'm getting a PowerBass ASA1100.5x (5-Channel Class A/B Amplifier)

75 watts x 4 +250 x 1 LINK





This leaves me with 2 amps to choose from to help either the tweeters or Midbass
100 watts x 2 (old Pioneer amp that I'm using for the Bachuka now and could use it for the Midbass drivers?) or
60 watts x 2 new class A/B Pioneer amp (this could power the tweeters)

We'll see how it goes...

Here is the other ball after applying fiber glass.
Now lets get the foam out and reinforce the MDF ring to the fiber glass sphere. I'm starting to like the funny smell!






And todays photo!

Apparently you called the shop two minutes before I walked in this morning. Good choice on the sub and amp, you'll like them.

Thanks!
I'm very positive! I've been digging around and learning everyday, the sub and the amp will work great with my system, without breaking the bank.

A little bit of ACETONE to melt the foam, it was actually a sad moment...


After 5 or 10 minutes with the Dremel and a little sanding I did a test fit! Yeah!!! Can I use 5 minutes Epoxy to reinforce the spheres to the MDF ring? would the BONDO work ok over the Epoxy?

After some structural reinforcements to the spheres I should start looking for a mechanical system to attach the spheres to the A-Pillars

I have a couple of noob question for you guys....it would be really helpful for me....i'm going to start my audio system upgrade soon and i'll do a little bit of deadending in the trunk and on the floor....welll i will put two 12''subwoofer and i want to replace and amplify my two 6.5 and my two 6x9 and add little tweeter at the front in the a-pillar...

well what kind of amp do i need for the low(tweeter), the mid(6.5) and the high (6x9) ?

For the sub...Ported or not ?

For the deadending...only CLD tiles will make a difference in the trunk and on the floor even if i do not put MLV ?

Do i really need a audiocontrol like you are adding ?

Do i really need to change the battery ? or the big three will be enough ?

thanks to you and i'm sorry to disturb the tread but it's one of the most complete thread i found

thanks again!!!

Bold are mine!

For the sub...Ported or not ? Ported = bigger box!

For the deadending...only CLD tiles will make a difference in the trunk and on the floor even if i do not put MLV ? CLD tiles + CCFoam + MLV it's a system, you will feel a big difference only if you use all three of them.

Do i really need a audiocontrol like you are adding ? What is your goal and budget?

Do i really need to change the battery ? or the big three will be enough ? Depending on your equipment, so far mine is fine with the Big 3 only

thanks to you and i'm sorry to disturb the tread but it's one of the most complete thread i found Thank you and you are welcome

I have maybe around 1000-1200$ for the audio system....but I already have my heat unit and my big three

My goal is to get a loud sytem with a lot of bass

I don't care of space I use in my trunk ...i'm a student so....i dont have a family....so ported or not ? for the best sub sound !


I would like to have a kind of 2500W peak of sub and have better sound by amplifying my tweeter, mid and high

so..

Audio control or 2 amps will do the job ?

Ported or not ?

Deadending question...thanks you so much

Battery...i'll change it if i see i have problem with power!

I like fast answer like you did Thank You

My goal is to get a loud sytem with a lot of bass EVEN MY 10" BAZOOKA DELIVERS GREAT BASS, TWO 12'S WILL WORK GREAT TOO, TELL US ABOUT THEM?

I would like to have a kind of 2500W peak of sub and have better sound by amplifying my tweeter, mid and high RMS?

so..

Audio control or 2 amps will do the job ? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH AUDIO CONTROL?

Ported or not ? PORTED OR EVEN BETTER BANDPASS IF LOUD IS YOUR GOAL

Deadending question...thanks you so much WHAT QUESTION?

Battery...i'll change it if i see i have problem with power! IT'S NOT THE BATTERY YOU HAVE TO CHANGE, YOU CAN ADD A 2ND ONE AND UPGRADE ALTERNATOR.

[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!!
