I upgraded the speakers on my Aurion and added couple of subs. I am thinking of adding sound deadening to doors and boot.

Just wondering whether anyone has added sound deadening to their Aurion or Camry. Would like to hear your thoughts.

Is it worth the effort in improving the sound quality. How much did it cost and where did you get the job done.

DIY, with a heatgun and a scissor... get prepare to cut yrself sometime... it doesnt improve SQ(thou some might say YES?), but a LITTLE more bass(for sure)... i get it "sticked"(installed as u can say?), coz i dont wanna cause future rattling sound on doors due to too much bass trembling the whole door(still an experiment, tell u the result in a few years :spiteful: )

yea, search before u ask..

Many car audio enthusiasts are saying that sound deadening would improve mid-bass response. Also SQ will improve when you drive as it would recduce the road noise coming into the vehicle.

I'm going to get it installed to both the doors and the boot. Probably around $400 to do the job, depending on how much material they end up using. Will get around to doing this in the next month or so.

Got the front doors, p****l shelf, the boot and the tyre wall sound deaden. The service holes of the front doors were also sealed with MDF and sound deadened. In addition, I got some Focal Plain Chant (sound absorbing pads) installed behind the speakers. All installed by GL Pro Sound in Essendon.

Definitely get more sub-bass. I can feel it without even not using as much amplifier power. Mid-bass, hard to tell as I got some new splits installed and they are still to be worn in. The car sounds a little bit quieter as well.

Here are some pics.

The cost will depend on how much sound deadening you require. To sound deaden the two doors and the boot, you can buy a Dynamat Bulk kit, costs around $330. Installation cost will depend on your installer. You'll probably look at around the $350-400 mark.

I was just playing a song earlier and found that the bass in this song was causing some rattles in the number plate :(

Luckily it's only happening on a very small number of songs that do this. So you may also want to get stuff to stop your number plate from rattling.

Actually I do. The dealer put it there!

Come to think of it the number plate protector is the one thats rattling. The plate is screwed on tight.

Thanks for the advise.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
