  1. hey there i would recommend rockfordfosgate as im a rockford fan try the 6inch 3 way splits 250watts they come with 4 tweeters and the cross overs $289 at automotiv in merrylands sydney

    you will not be dissapointed as i have the same ones and they are crystal clear

    RF ftw!

    that merrylands place is where i tested RF's out and loved em! got em for cheap of my cousin from the US while my parents were up there... helluva lot cheaper than buying local.

    EDIT-

    ON THE OTHER HAND... those automotiv blokes arent bad. nothing against them. in fact i remember them saying if you get a few mates together or tell em you are a member of a car club and can organise a group install, theyll gladly discount the price in return for some friendly word of mouth free advertising. nice blokes..

    btw i love my punch's, but still got no $$$ for cd/mp3/dvd HU since my stock stereo cd player went bust so im stuck with AM/FM.. havent heard my speakers perform at their best in many months... :(

  2. Sunroofs are not a factory option (nor standard) for a Sportivo, however I know of people who have bought their car and requested the dealer fit a sunroof... so Yes it can be done. (i think Indecent aka Mario did this?)

    i remember when i was still shopping round for a new car (around 04-05) that i asked a toyota dealer about installing a sunroof on the (then) latest model camry. they said they dont reccommend and wouldnt trust anyone in australia to do it. if you wanted to get 1 off toyota, theyd have to order it first, then use a laser to cut into the roof, then install the sunroof.. then wait 6 months for it to be delivered to australia. i guess thats the only way toyota would be able to include that option under a new car warranty.

    id love a sunroof on a new car but wouldnt wait 6 months for it.. i dont have that kind of patience if im paying that much for something!

  3. HAHA :D

    PM Carlo - IZZ-FE. He'll give you a Rav 4 conversion :lol: if you have a side-on pic of your car he can tell you how to do it. Actually there's a thread on OWF about how to do it ;)

    heya i found the thread :P

    i knew it wasnt that hard to do! it makes total sense now.. must try this on my old landcru23r... it already kinda looks morphed muahahahaha!

  4. hey yea did kinda notice the lack of something extra on that funnel... well if your still willing to do it then good luck!

    Might wanna keep this point in mind

    The Intake Funnel Does not Have Any Hole For The Sensor And You Have To Custom Made if You Need It

  5. u driving a semitrailer or something? hahaha!

    are you serious your car (im guessing its a corolla) is beeping while reversing?

    did you buy your car new or 2nd hand?

    if its 2nd hand i guess its a mod that the first owner did. they may have changed one of the reverse tail lights to one of those that make the beep noise when its lit.

    if thats not it, hope someone else can explain it?!

    personally i wouldnt mind the beeping reverse... i dont wanna run over my kid.

  6. yea i always thought there was a difference in volume when it comes to comparing radio with cds.. the way i always thought bout it is comparing talking to someone on the fone long distance compared to hearing someone face to face. cant really ever expect radio to be the same quality as a cd.. unless you got digital radio like they got in the US (i guess).. my cousin always going on about how great her XM is when shes in the middle of the grand canyon in her H2...

  7. has this information been written up and pinnwed on the forums already?

    ill definately remember that next time i have to do something like this...

    would have been useful cos i watched the eldectrician do exactly what you said! i dont have a tester on me and im not bothered to buy 1 up here... we couldnt find a wiring harness this morning.. (not suprising in this part of the world... they sell soldering irons, but no soldering wire!? they sell the audio cables, but no wire cutters?!? ham, no burger?)

    so yea my father inlaw had a mate that owns an electronics store and although they dont sell car audio stuff, he knew what he was doing.

    they dont sell harnesses up here. theyd rather do things the hard way IE - cut the wires, test em, then a lot of wire twisting, minus the soldering.

    anyhoo.. cost bout 350 pesos for installation which equates to less than $10 bucks.

  8. i dont have the time or patience to be soldering and cutting wires that im not even sure what is what.

    even with diagrams of the original wires.. im not even sure that they are accurate?

    its a 1989 delica... id idnt see any diagrams for anything before 200* or 1998 or something...

    if i find the wiring harness then ill solder that together. if not then im gonnna have to pay 4 installation

  9. gday,

    supposedly, wiring harnesses are meant 2 make life easier 4 us when we install aftermarket stereos.. so.. in that case, logically, all aftermarket HUs use the same colours on their wires right?

    my question is - are all aftermarket stereos using the same colour wires?

    ie: would a yellow wire on a sony HU have the same function of a yellow wire coming out of a pioneer HU?

    just in case you were wondering..

    im installing my father in laws aftermarket HU into his 1989 mitsubishi delica.. 4wd van.

    when he bought it, the HU was a cassette radio that only allowed us to listen to 1 fm station and that got old real quick.

    turns out that this HU actually came out of a subaru?!

    so i guess i gotta find a wiring harness for a subaru instead of a mitsubishi....

  10. i read the manual for my kicker and it provided me with a minimum and maximum size for the sealed box. i simply shot for the middle of the 2 sizes in order for me to still fully take advantage of the recliner in the rear seats, as well as enough room for shopping and the babys stroller.

    all id have to do is pull out the sub to take out anything underneith the floor.

  11. depends what stage of your life you are at... i mean i feel i kinda grew outta south park after bout 2000/2001 or whenever the movie came out... beavus n butthead were an absolute classic.. simpsons are always great too but i cant get back into b+b and the simpsons like i used to... their time has passed! (dont get me wrong - im really looking 4ward to the simpsons movie but its been long overdue)... i couldnt have gotten into beavus n butthead if i wasnt a teenager when it came out..

    but family guy is funny azzz! american dad is also funny.. but it feels like that cartoonz been peiced together as if the writer asked himself.."like what if peter griffin worked for CIA?"... then add a whole bunch of political/CIA/conspiracy theory stuff into it to suite the same kinda people who like to watch colbert report and john stewart..

    but yea family guy on top of the list 4 me

  12. gday,

    im back in philippinez on family business...

    wasnt exactly planned by me so i know im gonna have overdue billz up the anu5

    ive gone and gotten sunburnt.. argh..

    dont you hate that?

    i miss waking up with frost on my lawn and the 12 degree mornings... hmmm..

    but yea its practically impossible to find corolla parts up here that would fit our rollaz...

    so ive figured i might as well get some universal parts that would suit the rolla.

    ive seen all different sizes and types of headlight bulbs..

    what size suits the prefacelift rolla? im not after HID kits or whatever.. just a straight replacement for the originals that would give off whiter light than the OEMz.

    im also after the proper size of the lug nuts for our tyres?

    if you know what im talking, or if you can think of any other cheap universal car parts that would suit our rollaz then please let me know asap.

    jase
