6G Celicas Forums

yea i was hesitant. it sounded damn good in a car as small as the celica though. im going to return it and probably buy it again at a much lower price. i know what we did wrong with this one so i should be able to make the next one last a bit longer.

Well it only took a little over a week. started the car and before i made it to the end of the driveway. it sounded and smelled like someone was playing with fireworks under the passenger seat. and when i realized what was happening i really hoped that it was just someone playing with fireworks under the passengers seat . My amps fried and im going to take back to best buy for a refund. Im pretty sure it came ungrounded because we couldnt find a ground under the seat so we ghetto rigged it and didnt sand down to the metal enough.

haha nice. well thanks man ill look into all of it.

o ok. honestly dont know too much about celicas. this was my first car just trying to make it something i can keep for a long time cause i like it so much =/.

thats bmw isnt it?

i have an auto. thats the right transmission?

ok. id consider forced induction but that can be pretty pricy. id like to put a v6 in there haha

right now my GT is completely stock and im looking to do some upgrading. BUT i dont want to look like a total ricer. So im thinking about just putting in a bigger engine. Any suggestions?

I had that exact same problem. Most strange noises my car made were only heard while i was in the car. Lemme know how that works out for you.

This is my first set. i just wanted to get a deal on everything so i went with fusion. pretty impressed but im most likely going to end up switching parts out soon and rockford fosgate is my 1st choice haha

ive read some mixed reviews on this particular setup. some people say that they blew the sub. so far i love it. i mean i gotta fix the rattling but it sounds really good. and yes it was an adventure and i get to do it again when i replace the other speakers and the head unit.

CORRECTION: when turned up really high the plastic lining in the back of the trunk rattles ALOT and is deffinately hearable from the outside.

It was a pain in the ass to get wired because my head unit didnt have anything for the REM to go into so i wired it to something in my fuse box. In the end we spend 6 solid hours on this. It was the first time me and my friends had done anything like that but i would imagine the next time will take about 45 minutes . WAY more than i expected for 230 dollars (best buy). It came with sub, enclosure, wires, amp, window sticker (a necessity), everything. It bumps really hard. but not too much for the car to handle. no rattling. ill see how long i have it before i blow something.

i had the same problem with mine. on my way to the gas station it just felt like i wasnt getting any power. then when i came back out it just wouldnt start. went back the next day and it started and i drove it home. for a while it ran great but now it still has bad days.

is Dual a brand to stay away from? here's what ive been looking at because what i get for the price isnt too bad vvvvv

Dual Bass Package

yea im not looking for top of the line at the moment. but when i bought my celica the sound system was horrible. it has an aftermarket head unit and 6 speakers. 2 in the doors 2 in the back and little 1 inchers up in the window that dont do anything. i just want somethin that bumps

i have people who can install it

ok well right now i access to about 200-300 dollars. my door panels shake and im hoping whoever installs my speakers can do something about that.

Looking to replace all speakers in my 96 gt and add some subs. any recommendations as far as brands? trying to keep it relatively cheap. thanks.

ok. thanks for the help guys

Hey. my celica has some rims made by "reaction". the pics i have posted on my profile are of the rims before i started cleaning them. right now theyre mostly clean but there is white residue and hard black stuff on the edges. i think its calcium deposits and stuff from the tires. it was all on there when i bought the car. if anyone can tell me exactly what that is and what i can do to get rid of it, it would be much appreciated. ive tried products from Black Magic, Maguires, as well as CLR and nothings affected it as much as scraping has but that scrapes the rims.
