Crandis16 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 looks like a fixer-upper but sounds like you know what you want. Were you planning on designing your own box eventually?

Guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 if you plan on using the factory rear deck 6.5" speaker mounts, you have to cut out a lot of plastic on them because it bends towards the center so the magnet of any aftermarket speaker will hit it and prevent the basket from seating completely on the mounting holes.

gowerryan Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 well didn t get as much done as i would like today because of the on and off agian rain.....got the fuel filter done (ended up bein a bitch to get out but went back in like cake)..got a new rim and tire on the back because turns out on of the ones i bought was bent like a bitch so had to get another on and put the tire on it......even affter the fuel filter still wanted to studder at 3 grand so i ve been tryin to tweak anything i can to get it to run smooth....i got it to idle smoother amd it will accelerate a lil better now but not much and not all the time....so i put some injector cleaner in it with premium to see if that helps but might have to do a fuel pump yet(hopefully not) anyways i ll try to do the fender tommrow if the wheather holds out..... and does anyone kno how to tint my tailights and turn signals to make them look nice i don t want to have them lookin all flat but just a lil glossy dark 95 toyota corolla 1.8 dohc 5 speed system in planing stages right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notorious97200 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 You don't need 0Ga wire, and you don't need 2 runs. Get rid of the rear speakers and work on your front : it will sound much better with a good front stage. For the bass, you know what you want ! I would have make another choice, but it's your car and your system. Good luck bro ! black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3 ported box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck bro ! i want to do 2 runs of 0 just because what i m gonna put in it now isn t final.....i m going to deaden most of the car 2 not for the 2 10s but because i will be putting a much larger system in it eventully and i want all of that stuff done already....mostlikely it will end up with 2 12s sealed off maybee ported through the rear deck on about 2500 to3000 so i want everything done already so when i do buy the subs and amp all i have to do is build a box and put it in...... 95 toyota corolla 1.8 dohc 5 speed system in planing stages right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
