Recall your goal of equal PLDs? Symmetry. We're trying to get those speakers as far away at equal distances from us on the same plane.

That's all I was saying.

Jaja! it happens to me all the time!

Yes, PLDs rock for SQ sound, I learn my lesson.

I'm heading downstairs, I would like to finish the kicks tonight, and called "done, for now" and move over to install the HAT L6s, I'll have to do a baffle like you did and get more Mat to for the plastic panels.

OK,
Mids are properly installed in the kick area, at least functionality; aesthetically mmm not quiet like when I had them in the a-pillars.

Next step: HAT L6s in the doors.

Pics or it didn't happen! :P

Let's trade notes on the doors. I've my SEs in the doors. I'm in a holding pattern to make the panels more aesthetically pleasing with some trim work and grills...that will come...after the trunk and tweeters. I can plug power in and get good, beefy (unequalized) sound out of the SEs now.

^There's an edge on that kick that I can see...I want to smooth that down before the glaze goat.

Yeah and the carpets dirty too,lol

sqcomp · 12-03-2011, 09:10 PM

Oh man...this car isn't going to be vacuumed until I'm done. You should see the interior. Lots of fiberglass dust.

I'm going to be forced to clumk down 5 C's for a new floor carpet when I'm done. I was stoooooopid and said F it, then cut into the carpet about 6 months ago. Dumb move. Oh well, I'm lucky to have that change to spare.

sqcomp · 12-09-2011, 01:42 AM

Okay Derick...what are you up to? I'm into my pillars now. I'll be glassing soon. I'd expect to have both pillars roughed in by Christmas.

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.

sqcomp · 12-10-2011, 03:45 PM

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.

derickveliz2 · 12-11-2011, 12:17 AM

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!

Mids in the kick area: (naked)

Putting my Mids in the Kick area it was the best option for an awesome stage in the Yaris! THE BEST!

derickveliz2 · 12-12-2011, 02:20 AM

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)

D.

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.
