hey tayles.. can you show me a perfectly flat surface on the dash? i was talking in terms of his bass level being screwed down and fixed to something instead of being held down by velcro.

hey i like where i put my bass level! hhahaha!

keeps it stealth instead of screwing it somewhere under the steering wheel.. but my point is that it would be better if he screwed it down somewhere.

i was actually thinking that if there was a place like what weve got in the corolla... like near the immobiliser light and the electric window switches on the right side of the steering wheel.. if there was an extra space for a switch.. could possibly place it there.

i said that coz if my bass level was as small and discreet as his, thats where id try fitting it.

So you finally got the boot cleaned up? I remember @ GOR cruise you had a loosely sitting sub and amp @ the back.

Got pics?

hmm i second that, it would be alot more balanced if u had some deacent speakers to match the subby. i guess its just what the actuall driver prefers and the original speakers commin from the newer cars are alot more better these days. nice work with the boot tho

Bass controllers are good but, alot of headunits are coming out with in-built bass contollers. i personallly think that if you can get a HU that has the function use it and save the wiring up time and having another thing taking up compartment space.

i just think that if anyone was to start upgrading spund gear, it should be:

First get a nice headunit. Then splits. If money is a problem just run the splits of the head unit. a nice amp to go with the splits would be the next step. Finally, a nice BIG sub and amp to power it.

A lot of poeple these days are saying to go all out on an awsome pair of front speakers and leave the back ones off. Honestly, does anyone really care about the passenger? subs in smaller cars ie. corolla.. we don't really need an awsome one, because the car is small we can get by with 300-400w rms.

If people are looking to do their entire system at once, you can go for a 4 channel and power the whole car or the way i went through above (you can have alot more power that way)

I'm not saying this is the way it HAS to be done. just that i think you'll probably get the most out of the speaker upgrades if you take it step by step.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,

      Rav4 2016 ZSA42R 2WD CVT failure

      Hi Andrew, just wanted to see if you were able to get this fixed? What was the issue in the end? My car has just started making this same noise (2016 Rav4 - 97000km) and I'm worried. I've had the transmission fluid checked and replaced but the noise is still there.
