Thanks for the replies guys. bADbOYz, you make a good point. This may be a good opportunity to put something more suitable in the doors. 6x9s would be the most convenient option in regards to fitting. But for overall sound quality, perhaps a quality set of splits would be the go. Has anyone had a go at installing afermarket 6x9s in the doors? What was the outcome?

No-body's got aftermarket speakers in their 05 Camry?

Hi everyone. I'm just curious as to what aftermarket 6x9s people have managed to fit (as direct replacements) in the front doors of their Camry's. Also, has anyone used these 6x9 Camry speaker adapters to make installation easier? The wife loves her tunes. The headunit and amplification is sorted, so I'm going for the beefiest 6x9s I can find that will fit without major modification to the doors. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? Any info would be much appreciated! Cheers

I think you are mistaken. Is the Omega not part of the VE lineup?

Great! Thanks Topdog! You've just given me something to do today :D

Hi everyone. I'm in the process of changing the 6x9's in my wife's '05 Camry, and am having a spot of trouble even starting. Could someone please be so kind and explain how to remove the parcel shelf? I've been looking at it every now and then, and each time it leaves me scratching my head.

I now have warm feelings that I purchased that extended factory warranty B) I hope it all works out for you. Let us know how you go.

Sluggish? As in, it cranks the motor slower than usual? If so, that is usualy battery related... but if you say its ok. How have you tested the battery? Do you have a multimeter? Have you tested the alternator to see if its charging the battery? Although I wouldn't expect the alternator to be the cause on such a new car. But then again, I wouldn't expect any starting troubles from a new car. Does your car sit around for long periods without being driven? How are the battery terminals?

Instead of a pod, have you considered a K&N replacement panel filter? That way you maintain the acoustics of the original airbox and inlet tract, and it keeps the engine bay looking smart and original. Theres a lot of engineering involved in designing an intake tract, why mess with it? Since, on the inlet side of things, power is liberated through increased airflow and reduced temperature, I think it simpler to use a performance panel filter to increase airflow, and retain the original cold air feed to the airbox. I guess if you like you could make an additional cold air feed to the airbox. Who knows, with a high-flowing panel filter instead of a pod, you may get the increased airflow that your after, but without the strange loss of bottom end some people are experiencing. Otherwise, with a pod, you would need to make an enclosure PLUS a cold air feed. Again, personal preference comes into it all. I like to keep things looking original. B)

Hi there. I'm new here too. Also from Adelaide. I just purchased an '05 Altise Limited for the wife, and stumbled across this forum the other day whilst looking for useful information about the car. We pick it up on Thursday. I'm hoping for many years of trouble free motoring.
