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.

how much did it cost you to get it installed SilverProdigy?

im thinking of sound deadening the doors and boot, coz my sub makes the whole car rattle lol

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.

do you have a number plate surround/protector thingy?

i did and it was rattling a lot. so i just took em of and just tightend the screw heaps and its fine now :P

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.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?
