Out of curiosity does anyone else have a metallic lookign box right below the driver seat? What the heck is that? Looks an amp to me

I've gotten to point where I had everything off. I followed the instructions that I read from here and I was doing pretty well till I got to the factory amp. There is a blue connector located tightly below it that I needed to disconnect. X_x I'm stuck at this part. Any idea how to take it off? I've tried but it's just damn tight to take off? what did ya'll do? Thanks

my gas pedal seems to stick, and takes a little more force to push it down initially. i thought it might be the spring on the throttle body that was sticking, but i oiled that with some WD40, and it didn't work. i don't think it is the throttle cable itself because this doesn't happen when the car is off, only when it is running.

does anybody have any idea why this is happening?

does anyone know where i could get that piece that goes in the back of the hatch? the one that lifts up when u open it? i went to the dealer yesterday and the guy said 375$! i couldnt find one on ebay either. so if anyone could help thatd be koo. thx.

Well, I had nothing to do this weekend so I started another car audio project.
The whole idea of this project was to create speaker holder that will produce better mid range frequencies. So here's a lil info on why I went with this design. To get the best mids out of a speaker, the speaker should be in free air environment (so no ported or sealed enclosure). The plastic that holds speakers in our cars is too enclosed and only let sound waves come out from the back at which point they hit metal door panel and reflect back to the speaker (when this happens the sound waves cancel each other out, and totally kill mids freq). What I tried to achieve with this project, is to create a better speaker holder. I used 3/4" MDF, made a pretty wide O-ring (which is better then plastic because its less likely to resonate), like you can see in the pics the holder has holes on sides (this was made on purpose, to let sound waves go side ways which will bring out more mid frequencies.) Well I guess this is it. Another good upgrade which will bring up ur mids is dynapad (made by dynamat) or use of egg shape foam (not a good idea in doors because of wet conditions). But both of these products will cancel out back waves from the speaker and bring up the mids. If anyone has questions about anything please ask!













If anyone is going to do the same things, here are a couple of tips:
1) Use 3/4" MDF
2) Use Good liquid nail glue (something that wont fall apart from too much vibration, so same glue as people use to build subwoofer boxes)
3) Measure everything twice, then cut. This goes especially with the first peace because it should fit like a glove (because this part actually attaches to the door)
4) Use 100% silicone to fill in all the holes between the door and the first peace, and dont forget to screw it in with 4 screws (that u will need to buy because stock once wont fit)
5) Use hard plastic to guard the top of the speaker from wather (that comes down the door when its raining).

EDIT: I just finished the passager side, and it sounds way better then it did before, cant wait until I put some dynapad on that thing.

oh ic.. hm.. what's the biggest size speaker i can fit in there diameter size?

can i fit speakers with
6" mounting diamater and 7" overall diamater
or
7.125" mounting diamater with 8.375" overall diameter?

anyone know how deep is the space where the rear speakers are?

could i fit something 3.75" deep or 4.75" deep?

Nice advice man,

But you know, my OEM speekers sounds like craps and I think BOSE will not sound bad than now.

I can have the whole kit or less than 200$ so I think it won't be a very huge loss of money.

I know about the enclosure, I keep in mind that it won't sound like the car that it was design for.

Do you think it's a bad idea ??? I have looked at my speakers this evening and think it will fit. I've taken some huge pictures in order to do a "How to". Keep in touch

Thanks guys

Hello,

I know that these kind of topics have already be discussed, but I've checked, I haven't found the answer.

I own a 1995 Celica ST (AT200). My sound system is the 6speakers kit (2tweeters near mirrors, 2 front door speaker, 2 rear speakers).


1) Is the front speaker size 6,5" (I've found it on this forum)
2) What is the size of the rear speakers ?
3) What's the depth of these speakers ?


In fact, my project is to install a complete BOSE AudioSystem (coming from an Audi A4 or A6) in my Celica

Do you have already heared about how to do it ? Do you think it'll be possible ?

This is the kit I want to install. Please tell me if the depth of the speakers will match

Thanks folks !

Is there anyway to remove the cd magazine in a disconnected changer? its a sony cdx-606

Hello all in my 94 celica GT I have come to realize the front factory speakers are shot so, I am wondering what to buy. Keep in mind I have the 3 speakers per door system and I run my own headunit and amp..

-My problem is I'd like to get a new "3" speaker system that would fit in the doors , like this system

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_compone...php?comp_id=121

however, the midrange speaker is too deep to fit in the factory holding location....

-Has anyone actually used an aftermarket 3speaker system and fit a mid range in the stock location????
THere just is not any room for something with a big magnet on its backside......

-Or are we forced to go with a 2 speaker system and only replace the tweater and woofer???

-But really if you can't go with the "3 speaker" replacement how much good is it to have a little tweater mounted up in the corner of the door like on a "2 speaker" system??? I think its the midrange thats close to your ear that makes a difference over say a all in one speaker system.....


-So I'd like some decent bass since I have enough room down there to mount a larger woofer and clarity, so what should I use 3, 2, or all in one speaker system?????? Thanks guys got part #'s????

I have to do things in stages. my running Celica is my daily driver and the drift Celica is in a very early stage of development (and not running).

For now I want to install a cheaper headunit (haven't decided on one yet, accepting suggestions). Install Optima battery. Install E-ram bracket for laptop. Install 8 inch Memphis MSYNC8 components in front doors running off a 2x75 MCA150 class AB amp.

Later I will modify the rear speaker panels to be enlcosures for 8 inch MC84D subs running off a 2x150 MCA300 class AB amp. Add 2 VBF1 line drivers, a XO3 crossover, and a 1CBFMT capacitor for clarity.

To finish off the system, I will build an indash carputer. More on that later...

Overall a sound quality system. I spend 4-10 hours a day in my car driving to appointments.

Questions:
1. Should I add the capacitor, crossover, and/or 1 line driver now, or wait for subs?
2. Could 10 or 12 inch subs possibly fit in rear speaker panels? Or 2 8 inch subs in each?
3. Any suggestions for headunit? I plan to replace it within a year or so. Preferably it should have a line in, although I could us a FM transmitter hooked to the audio out of my laptop.

Lastly, this is not a request to buy, but if anyone has any extra audio equipment I would gladly take it off your hands so I don't have to spend money (or as much) right now.

Hey, how'd you get these speakers up high like this? If I do the 8" sub conversion in the front doors, I'd like to do some smaller speakers like this up higher.

what do you mean by "A very good unit"? The one I chose isn't the cheapest but isn't the highest either.

on choosing an amp, do I add up the RMS like say I have a speaker at 70 rms and another for 75, do I need a amp of atleast 150 RMS or an amp of 75 rms minimum? This is my main problem, this is why I chose a mono amp to begin with 1000 rms at 2 ohms.

As far as sound qaulity goes, what is the difference between a mono amp and a normal amp other than what was stated above (meaning mono is meant for subs only)?.

Does that mean I can have 2 subs per mono amp?

The reason why I ask is because I may want to add another sub later on.

Sorry for all the questions
