I've been so busy, and this weekend we have BOO-BOO, and Fiambre
(Guatemala tradition of a one-of-a-kind food that we only prepare once a year) any way...

I did a little bit of sanding and located the areas on the spheres that needed some reinforment, also added some plywood inside where the a hollow male nipple will hold them in place, the wires will go through.

What fuse have you used for the power wire from alternator to battery ?

And if i put a 2nd battery in the trunk....i plug tthe red to alternator and the ground to body....like the one in the the hood ?

I'm lost here, I didn't use any fuses from the alt to the battery?

I din't put a 2nd battery, I don't really need it, my voltage with 3 amps shows an average of 13.8 volts most of the time.

D,

You could also look at thread-serts. They're like the ones I used in my A-pillars for the L4 baffle.

Also, take a look at what I have access to:

Something tells me you may want this reference disc? I can burn you a copy...

What are these?

I Google them but couldn't figure out how they look or how they work and where to get them.

derickveliz2 · 10-31-2010, 02:24 AM

I went to Lowe's to get the "nipple(s)" but it won't work, by the time I get all the nuts and washers it gets too big, I may not be able to fit the 3" driver in the sphere.
I'm going to have to make 2 holes one for a bolt and other for the wires. Sqcomp tells me to use thread-serts so I'm digging more about it.

derickveliz2 · 10-31-2010, 02:31 AM

Some thing like this is what I'm looking for...

sqcomp · 10-31-2010, 04:29 PM

Look into the holes...

It will couple like this:

You see the ones I got? The two pictures on top? Those are actually inserted with an allen wrench. That makes it SUPER simple. Look around at the harware stores locally. If you have a good one, they'll have these. As a last resort, I can get you these.

Yeah! I could use something like that to hold the HL-70s in the spheres!

Thanks,

I'm still shopping around for a mechanical system to attach the spheres to the A-pillars, I have a few ideas but nothing tangible

sqcomp · 11-02-2010, 02:53 PM

Let me know. Perhaps we can brainstorm something up.

derickveliz2 · 11-03-2010, 03:09 AM

Thanks sqcomp. It's nice to have a friend with crazy ideas for a Yaris; just like Me!

This is what I was looking for!

I think it will work, and I'll be able to pass the wires through!

I used hot glue to hold the sphere in place, now lets drill a hole and use the Lamp Nipples I got at the local hard ware store!!!

sqcomp · 11-03-2010, 10:22 AM

Grumble

That just seems way too big. Imagine that a pillar. When you want to move or service that tweeter, how is it going to work? With the thread sert idea you will eliminate one of the nuts and washers that I see in the pictures above.

Take that thread sert that I suggested put it in the side of the pod/sphere. Now mount it to the a pillar with a screw coming through the back of the pillar. You can put rubber washers on the backside of the pillar and in between the pillar and the sphere to decouple them from vibrations.

derickveliz2 · 11-04-2010, 02:05 AM

sqcomp, I understand what you mean... let me try this way because I want to have the A-pillars and spheres be 2 peaces, instead of molding them in "one" I'm more concern on the Structure of the A-pillar and how it's going to react with the extra weight! of the 3" mid driver; did you reinforce the A-pillar from the insde on the lower portion, it's kind of floating in the air by it self, there are no mechanical attachments in that area besides the 2 little guides at the bottom.

sqcomp · 11-04-2010, 02:14 AM

I think you misunderstand me...

I'm thinking the same way you are, just with a smaller, simpler connection point.
