hey guys,

so im looking at upgrading the audio system in my stock ATX... basically a couple of questions i have:

1. what speakers, from your experience work best while powered by the stock headunit?

2. if im running the stock headunit and upgrade speakers, is it worth sound deadening the panels?

3. if the speakers i upgrade to have seperate tweeters, is it better to have them mounted in the stock location or elsewhere?

and last...

4. any recommendations for a good audio installer in perth? i have previously had work done at A&T in west perth, but not sure if their still kicking around...

thanks for putting up with my silly questions! :blush::help:

1. Without an amp and a cap, the quality differences will be hard to notice.. You will hear a difference between a stock set and a middle range aftermarket set, but you're best off going with an amp if you want a high quality experience. In the stickied thread there are links to a couple of speaker reviews that might be worthwhile checking out.

2. Deadening would help to reduce road noise and whatnot, but i wouldnt bother with the added cost especially if it's powered by the headunit. Unless you're really serious about your sound or you have the money i personally would not bother.

3. You may as well take advantage of the stock mounts, gives you less hassle and a cleaner install. Its already there, and i dont think many people have much to complain about the placement of tweeters so you may as well use them.

4. Cant give you much help for that question as i'm not from around there, sorry!

Hope i helped, bottom line is an amp is really the backbone to the sound system, there's no point buying a high end speaker and having it powered by a factory radio.. Otherwise you could just buy a mid range set of speakers and you wont be able to tell the difference on the factory radio.

Hope that helped

thanks for your quick reply! ^_^

thanks again!

Absolutely. You just use a line out converter (also called a high to low converter). Depending on how good your ears are, you can get cheap units through to expensive units.

All Aurion's are identical in terms of interior dimensions. All grades use the exact same speakers, so those dimensions are valid for your AT-X.

if ya do decide to get some quality like Eclipse or Focal maybe run an amp to get the sound that there capable of producing. ;)

      Help with Head unit Upgrade ?

      Hello there, I have just purchased my first car, a used 2013 Corolla ZR Levin, wonderful machine !!!!!!! But the entertainment unit is a bit dated (see photos), i was interested in upgrading to something with Android auto (probably DIY). But i have no clue how to go about finding the perfect system that'll fit in the dash. Also, if there could be a USB-C connection that could be cleanly mounted into the blank spot next to the heated seat controls to run the unit directly from phone, is that at all possible? Can someone please provide some ideas as to how i might get this done, or if it is even possible............... Thanks fellas

      update Peter Kittle diagnosed it as a Transaxle noise and they submitted an out of warranty claim. Toyota Aust honored the claim and replaced the transmission(transaxle assembly). My diagnostic fee was also refunded. Thankyou Liam at Peter Kittle for listening and responding to the issue.

      Part Wanted for 80, 100, 105 Series Landcruiser Spring Cap

      Hi, I am trying to obtain the part pictured, it is called a Spring Cap and it is spot welded to the chassis, called either a Spring Cap or Rear Spring Bumper Unit, the bump stop attaches to it and you can see it neatly inside the rear spring, this can be left or right it has no orientation, I want to buy either new or used. I have tried on some other forums and also many, many wreckers, it is hard to get at so wreckers don't really want to get involved, I was offered one in an 80 series and I could take it out myself for $20.00, Bargain, but they would not allow me to put the wreck on its side to access it and after surveying the job decided I could not do it in the position it was in, is there anyone who wither has one, knows where I can get one or has useful information to help in me finding one, I am happy to pay postage or even drive a bit of distance to remove one from a chassis I can get at? any help appreciated. I am in North Lakes Qld, 35k North of Brisbane. Graeme power

      2016 Aurion Sportivo missing electric blind button

      Hello everyone, Ive just bought a 2016 Aurion Sportivo and was wondering about the electric blind/sunshade button. The car seems to have the hardware for the blind itself (I think but I could be totally wrong) but the button is just missing, with a hole in its place. Does anyone know if it would be as simple as buying a replacement button? I’m not sure what the cabling for the button looks like so I can’t guarantee that the cables are there, though I would assume they are since it seems the actual blind hardware is there? Also, does anyone know what I should do with the other missing button (lane departure switch) hole. Any help would be appreciated

      Rear power door

      Hi Alim, just open your glove box and the button is on the side, you can't miss it. If you don't see a button then you don't have a power tail gate.
