should try it yourself... 07 model? dont expect much aftermarket stuff so soon.

MUAHAHAHA nice way 2 reprezent the club!

if you got the extra 3-4grand... buy it. but you shoulda chosen A LOT more carefully the first time.

its amusing how (I am an idiot i swear) falls through the swearing filter :P

simo i guess you could dry the sealant the clear sealant that they use in bathrooms.. or something equally as strong? if you use some sort of glue, make sure you remove the doublesided tape... btw, did you clean your stock doorsills before sticking these things on? i know my back drivers side doorsill is rubbing when the door opens/closes, but it doesnt fall off coz its not sticking to the stock doorsill.

this problem is one of the reasons why i didnt go the carputer route. best thing you can do is find a carputer with in dash screen (not motorised screen, but an exposed screen in a fixed position -2 din) that can do everything a regular head unit can do straight out of the box... and thats not gonna be cheap. as for the screen opening up at the flick of the ignition like the mazda in that youtube vid you posted up, it looks as though the screen is located in a large storage compartment on top of the dashboard, which is only able to move cos the guy installed a linear actuator to the actual lid - not the screen. totally different to your corolla dash, which i doubt would be able to provide enough space for an actuator along side/behind your 2din space. if you are ballzy enough to attempt a custom job like that yourself then good luck to you, but looks as though your only options are to deal with a motorised screen that would cover up your regular 1 din head unit/ airconditioner vents or buy a 2din usb tft touch screen. dont motorised screens adjustable angles anyway?

nice rimz.. very sportivo looking.. what type exactly and size tyres?

anyone glad to see that none of them went down the lindsay/britney route after they split? pretty cool they still look as good as they did 10 years ago... wish i aged that well..

then installing a little rca adaptor to the stock speaker wires behind the stock headunit wont be a problem for you. if you wanna be more adventurous and mod your stock head unit so that it actually has RCA plugs on it, someone on this forum DID solder some on a while back. all they did was solder the connections the circuit board... totally cool 11/10! 4got the link though. have fun finding it!

aahh see thts the problem these days...when ur prepared the idiot doesnt come...and when ur not he decides to strike....where do u work?? im guessin like telstra or something? telstra? im a part time bakers assistant (for now)... looking for full time work as a visual arts high school teacher. (graduating in april!) 12inch knife comes in handy when youre cutting up sponge for cakes or cutting upto 50kg of dough to make about roughly 144 loafs of sliced bread everyday. did the guys get caught? was that question for me? anyhoo.. several times people have made attempts at stealing.. weve had little things like bread stolen (when the customers were able to pick their own bread out) but only 1 person was successful at grabbing cash from the register and we called the police on that.. we rearranged the front of the store so people cant reach the register (or anything else of value) by reaching over the counter. every other attempt at stealing something was busted but the fools manage to leave b4 we even get to stop them. funny thing though, they like to work in teams! 1 or 2 occupies the employees, another tries to sneak around the counter, and at least 1 more has his eyes on the back of the shop to see to warn the others to abort the mission (IE: yell "THE BOSS IS COMING").. then they all retreat. - this particular incident happened while i was grabbing lunch. damn i chose the wrong 5 minutes to get some lasagne..

this is a previously covered topic... i went to my local autobarn and they had an aircon filter to suit our corollas. roughly $30-35 if my memory serves me correctly.. this was about a year ago though.

why wouldnt you just buy corolla calipers?

no idea. my parents were getting their car serviced when they got it fixed. maybe somewhere like strathfield car radios can sort you out.. they sell antennas there.

misterminit does all this stuff dont they?

whenever my brother or parents had problems with their antennas, they got it serviced by toyota.

nice one! where i work, im usually handling a either a footlong knife or rolling pin and ive imagined what id do a million times over if someone stupid came in... weve had lots of people try 2 steal either from the till or grab a mobile phone from behind the counter... but im NEVER there when anything exciting happens!

yea i gotta agree with mopp about the left and right channels... i soldered a RCA adaptor so i can connect my stock stereo to the amps... the rca adaptor needed to be connected to both left and right front speakers.. even if you had an aftermarket stereo with RCA outs it wouldnt make a difference. as for using a mono amp... the only reason i didnt reccommend connecting a mono amp to 2 subs is just because ive never seen it done b4. i never meant 2 say using a mono amp is wrong.. it just makes more sense 2 me to use a 2 channel amp. rolla3's wiring diagram looked a bit funny 2 me... looks as though thats how you do it with a mono amp yea? but yea... just 2 be sure, ask your car audio shop and theyd know for sure. on a side note... after having installed new speakers, tweeters n sub in my car, the first thing you gotta do is to go to the drive-in movies if you have one in your area!!! weve got one in blacktown (western sydney)... just tune your radio to the cinemas frequency and enjoy your new speakerz!

for the billionth time, THIS ISN'T THE RULE! why on earth does everyone think this??? umm.. i think that might be a NSW rule.. since im pretty sure i read that on some RTA document... anything larger would need engineers certificate. im sure i read this in the RTA somewhere!?

if it does effect sound quality, its barely noticable. i didnt notice any loss of sound quality at all. even if you use the stock head unit, if you amp up some new speakers then logically you would IMPROVE the sound... (unless the installer totally F*CKS it up then you shouldnt worry!) i soldered an rca adaptor to the speaker wires that came out of the stock head unit, then i hooked up the rcas directly to the amp. if i guess if i did a dodgy job with the rca adaptor id have static or something.. but the thing is i dont! i think ive said this before... if you arent trying to enter autosalon, then the stuff weve been saying should be good enough. if you wanna improve sound quality, why not have a go at sound deadening or if you have the money, get yourself an aftermarket stereo and go pay someone to install all your stuff.

if youve amped the speakers it doesnt matter what youve got to the stock head unit.

hi, i just came across this website. lil bit interesting info bout corollas old and new. no idea where else you might find this info, but take a look. click here also found this:toyota territory (although i think someone else might have mentioned this site b4.) what i found interesting is that toyota joined forces with KICKER to make a sub to suit the US corollas!?! makes me feel much better for putting a kicker in my car :P

good lord i was salivating at the toyota engines theyve got there and the install prices too! but then i realised this is a US based shop... major bummer!

what i mean is that you can use something with even less than 600watts. hopefully thatll can save you a few more bucks in buying a cheaper sub. what are your intentions with your subs anyway? how loud and how often do you plan on playing them LOUD? which type of music?

the amp would have a "remote" wire, which should connect to your headunit. if you have an aftermarket stereo, then it would probebly have a remote wire coming out of it. if you connected it correctly, then the amp should only switch on when the stereo is switched on. if you only have the stock head unit, you will have to connect it to some other wire (i forgot which 1).. and i am not 100% sure whether the amp would turn off... i think it stays on though. one thing you can do in that case is to install an on/off switch along the remote wire. thats the only sure way you would be able to turn the amp off. you could try installing a capacitor.. although theres lots of debate whether you should buy that or simply buy a higher quality car battery. adding a 2nd battery would be a bit much.. how much are you planning on installing into your car besides the amp and 2 subs? bridging doesnt do anything wrong to the amp. if you want to work 2 subs on a 4channel amp, thats the only way you can get the most watts to the sub. it was part of the instructions from my amp anyway.. its not a frankenstein job that i made up...or you could just go and get a 2 channel amp instead. ive noticed the mono amps are more expensive.. 2 channel amps are 2nd most expensive and 4 channel amps workout to be cheaper option (based on watts per channel). the thing about 4 channel amps is that they can be pretty big compared to a 2 channel or a mono.. so thats another thing you gotta consider. i think sony have released some digital amps last year.. supposedly smaller and dont create as much heat? more expensive though. btw, you dont need to buy the most expensive amp! your ears wont notice the difference between a $100 something amp and a $300+ name brand amp. ive got both a kicker mono amp and a 4 channel avalanche amp in my corolla (from my old landcruiser - where i installed my 2x10inch subs) which i bought from strathfield for $140?.. ive never had a problem with the avalanche yet! as long as it works yea?

ive done this before on my old car. i had 2x10inch 400watt subs in a ported box... which was about 7 years ago now... but im not a full expert on this subject but it wasnt that hard to figure out... so consider this advice as no frills "sub install for dummys". USE AS A GUIDE ONLY. your car audio store would understand your needs more than myself. ok.. youve got 2 subs (i assume they are both in the same box?)both handle a max 400 watts.. so 400+400 = 800watts max total. since you have 2x 10 inch subs that handle a max of 400 each, find an 2 channel amp or a 4 channel amp that can be bridged into 2 channels (that is right, isnt it? i forget the terms coz its been years since i did this). you dont want a mono amp. mono amp = 1 channel = 1 sub. only use mono amps for powering just one sub. so to get this straight, 1 sub = 1 channel. you have 2 subs... so you need 2 channels. 2 be on the safe side, find an 2 channel amp that has 600 watts max (which really means it feeds a maximum of 300watts each channel.) if you end up getting a 4 channel (like i did b4), you would end up with 4channels sending 150watts per channel. you can bridge the 4 channels , turning it into 2 channels, then youre basically giving each sub 300watts). what to i mean by bridging 4 channels into 2?? NORMAL USE OF 4 CHANNEL AMP LOOKS LIKE THIS: (ignore the dots and look at where the verticle lines are going A M P L I F I E R CHANNEL 1..........CHANNEL 2..........CHANNEL 3..........CHANNEL 4 (+).(-).................(+).(-)................(+).(-)............(+).(-) .|.....|....................|....|..................|....|.................|..| .|.....|....................|....|..................|....|.................|..| .|.....|....................|....|..................|....|.................|..| .|.....|....................|....|..................|....|.................|..| (+).(-).................(+).(-)................(+).(-)............(+).(-)... SPEAKER 1........SPEAKER 2.......SPEAKER 3.......SPEAKER 4 BRIDGING LOOKS LIKE THIS: (this is what your set up should look like if you end up getting a 4 channel amp) A M P L I F I E R CHANNEL 1 CHANNEL 2 CHANNEL 3 CHANNEL 4 ..(+)...(-)..............(+)...(-).............(+)...(-)...............(+)...(-) ....\ ............................./ .................\ ............................../ .....\ .......................... / ...................\ ............................/ ......\ ........................./..................... \ ........................../ ......(+)....................(-)......................(+)....................(-) ......SUBWOOFER 1.................................SUBWOOFER 2 why only 600 watts when your subs add upto 800watts?? why not buy a 1000 watt amp? i was advised to buy a 600 watt amp so i wouldnt risk blowing up my subz because i fed them too much power. if you had a 600watt max amp that sent the maximum of 300 watts each channel, your subs would still be strong enough to handle 100% of what your amp can pump into em. if you got a 1000watt amp and set it to full blast, you wouldnt expect your subs to last too long, coz your feeding the subs too much power. youd be sending 500watts sent to a sub that can only handle a max of 400watts... you do the math! in any case, you shouldnt have your subs set to full blast anyway if you dont want to go deaf. i hope that explains it.. as 4 the wiring.. get the thickest positive and ground wires you can get for your amp. and dont get cheapo wires either. this is electicity we are talkin about, you dont wanna cut corners on that. let me know if you something i wrote doesnt make sense ok? took me a while to get the diagrams looking the way i wanted. EDIT- I JUST NOTICED your description says NOMINAL watts = 100watts.. so that means 200 watts would be sufficient
