Good price no matter how you look at it...but just to drop you a hint...three or four ways are a marketing gimmick. But if you ask me it looks pretty nice. Two ways perform just as good, your paying for looks only for anything higher.

Yeah the guy told me that original sale price for the 3 way was $250 and the P1 $250 also so I saved like $200. I told him i was part of this forum and he took the price down. Prob wants word of mouth.

I've currently got a crappy Boss audio 4ch amp that I'm thinking of upgrading to run my new gear. What recommendations do you guys have. Is it necessary to have a Rockford amp to run to it's potential?? I'm only willing to spend about $3-400 on it.

Cheers!!

Ask Micky about rockford amps, I dunno how much he paid but he has this mammoth one that's running the whole show. Just squeezes between the rails of the passenger seat.

When I got my car it had big "The Lifestyle Store" stickers all over it. I presume they did the custom door trims on my car, it really is good work, with white neons and embossing that says "RunX" - really professional. If I lived in Sydney that would be my audio shop.

i heard the 2way speakers compared to those 3way composhiite PUNCH speakers for my self at the audiostore in merrylands.

the guy wazs trying to lead me to the 2way speakers, saying the punch was overpriced... but regardless of price... the PUNCH'S SIMPLY SOUNDED BETTER.

just my opinion.. but at the time i went threre, i did little NO homework on reseasrching mids/tweeters and simply just went by ear.

3way components sounded FARKNSCHWEET!

Well it all up to you, if you like it no one can change that fact.

Go three way active splits...now that would be expensive!!

3-way coaxials are a waste of money; like Suprathai said, it's a marketing gimmick.

My brother has 3x 12" Punch H2's (I think???) and they've been hammered hard every day for three years; no problems. They've had lots of power going through them aswell, so I'd recommend their subs to anyone.

I'd look elsewhere for component speakers. And lastly, save up and buy a pair of 2-way or 3-way splits; money much better spent.

Three way component splits are damn exy if you ask me...for the masses splits will be fine.

I believe Splits, Sound deadening and aftermarket HU are the way to go. I didn't add a sub until three years later, It made the system more complete but any one that has been in my car without the sub said it was damn nice.

Installation is equally if not more important then the hardware itself. Properly installed $300 splits will outperform $1000 splits that you just whack into the stock locations.

Really good buy for Rockford Fosage gear, Is it discontinued gear or pretty new?

Absolutely right, when i bought my Soundstream gear from Autobarn, the staff even told me that 3-way isnt much different to 2-way splits and 6X9's. He used the line "It's a marketing gimmick"

      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.
