i have experianced a cheapo 10 inch. expensive 10 inch. expensive 12". 2 expensive 12" running off 1000W rms :D . the 12 i have atm is damn good but i dont need it. i find a 10 to be good enuf for my needs. i just want abit more of the frequency range. the loudness is not what was making me deaf, just the low low frequency. once i tried to make a vid of my system on a vid cam and it was so bassy that all the cam captured was distortion and it even made the vid **** up abit... i wont b changing it till i firstly get a stivo(end of march - family financial issues). secondly till i put the current system into the stivo.(prob 2 months after buying the stivo). so i stil have a while to go.

its possible but personally i wouldnt. i dont care about the sound in the bak, if the passengers dont like it they can buy me splits. :D i only pu speakers in the bak to make it sound abit better for the front and also to provide fill for a 10" woofer. i have a 12 atm in a diff car and it was making me deaf. so im gonna downsize. boy did it pump tho.

usually when u buy splits they come with a housing which u can either stick or screw onto wer ever u want them. so u could put them in the rear corner above the rear seat. that should sound good.

or 7x10s. btw y cant u put splits in the bak?

a 2 way speaker has the normal 'woofer' membrain and then it has a tweeter in the middle. so it pretty much has 2 speakers. 3 way has 2 tweeters as well as the woofer part. it gives u much better sound quality as there are extra 'speakers' playing the high pitched sounds. the best way to go would b to get splits and have the tweeters sitting as close to ear hight as possible. that way u have the best sound. most ppl have them sitting on the dash or next to the rear view mirror on the door. some ppl go to extremes and attach them to the pillar at ear level.

Blade Hunter, ur second post makes sense and i agree with u. i didnt quike understand ur first one.

i dissagree with your assumption. a rex is 7 pund from factory. can u keep up with a rex? ;) u cant compare a turbo to a na car. it is totally diff.

<rollin>, after posting that i was thinking ofgetting a lightweight flywheel i went to my mates(hes a mecahinc) and he said that it would make the car rev quiker, but it may make it idle like ****, unless u got the engine balanced(which costs a **** load). so the trd fly wheel weighs 7.5lb... do u kno how much the normal one weighs? can u post a link to the site where u got that info for me mate?

Danz , can u post a pic of ur grill?

yes. i will make it so much louder. but make sure to buy a good amp. not some cheap **** from strathfield. but remeber to add about anoth $50 on top of the price of the amp for wires.

acctually noone has it and it costs over $600. i think someone baught one but it didnt fit or sumthing which i dont understand cos its a muffler, pretty easy to install in which ever way u wnat. neways ill post a site comparing alot of diff mufflers when i get home form work.

the only way i would buy a double din hu is if it had 4x100w( i seen one before) would b handy cos u would not need an amp to get decent loudness.

all im planning is a lightwiehgt flywheel, pulleys and trd xtractors(mayb).

thanx for the info guys ^_^ so if we want to lower a car we need to not only change the springs but the shocks too? this is gonna start getting xpensive.

that correct. its also easier to brake up hill

if they are really new and nufing wrong with them then its a damn good deal! the lowest u can get em atm is 29-30 with some extras.

CONGRATS!!!!!! hope it gives u no issues and that its what u wanted.

hey Danthuyer, wer abouts r u? i got a set. u want em?

he did just change the muffler but it was too load and a resonator will lower the noise inside the cabin. u should also mayb look into a front muffler. it will make it abit quieter but itll still sound nice.

damn! at that price it may even be worth stealing them that really sux. but thats what happens when they fit a good xhaust from factory, u have to spend big to get a better result. how much is the trd muffler on its own? also do u think it would b worth it to just change the extractors and leave the rest stock?

BTW lucio_libre, ask them what they can do to lower the noise in cabin. i kno that good xhaust shops can put in resonators which lower the noise level in the cabin significantly. when i was inquiring for an exhaust in my vectra they where gonna fit it with a 30" long (not wide) resonator.

Ilivfor6, i warned peekay to not go too big when getting the xhaust. he was orignially planning to go bigger. changing ur muffler wont do much. but u will loose a few newtons. but u alsways do when changing the xhaust(but power increases). UNLESS u change to better exractors. then ull gain power and newtons. i think there is no point changing the xhaust unless u get the trd full system. it costs like 1.5grand but its engeneereed to be an improvement. the stivo has a damn good xhaust from factory(2 inch) so theres no point changing it to any brand as any bigger would loose torque.

WELCOME! i agree that the new rolla has much less feed back, but all new cars are like that. its cos of driving aids such as abs and power steering. coming from an old without abs and powersteering will take a while to get used to it but u just have to be more sensative. the seating position dosnt help either.

magic_32, i was not implying that u cant drive :D . all im saying is that there always room for improvment.

unless u have over 180kw at the wheels, wider tyres will help as there will b more grip and they wont spin very easily at all. but i guess u will just have to learn to not stomp on the gas fully, to drive quiker.
