Currently I have no audio in my car, so going to install a new system in the next a few weeks or so, but I've got a few questions.

1. What is the stock front speaker size in a 32GTR? And what is the biggest size I can install without stuffing around too much.

2. Going to install coaxial front and rear, since I couldn't be bothered drilling hole for splits and mounting the cross over. So what is the best 2 way coaxial

on the market money can buy?

hey man, um with the size of the speakers in the gtr im not too sure. but just get urself some spacers made up, they are REALLLY easy to make and this way u can fit wat ever size speakers u want, preferably 6.5"

with the "best coaxial" on the market try post this in http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au. um also because audio is a very subject and personal choice might be best to go and hear some speakers urself at an audio store. this way u can judge urself what speakers are better.

I ended up putting in some 5 inch co-axials in the front ( I think they are 5inch). I just made a little spacer out of some MDF to mount them. throw out the old plastic speaker mount thing and just make one up out of some mdf. easy, and no need to cut up the door trim or grill. for the rear I just slotted in some 6inch co-axials (i think 6 inch, may have been 6.5). either way it's pretty easy.

no idea what are the best money can buy is, but if you are willing to spend up decent coin maybe just get some splits? it's not that much more effort to mount the cross over and tweeter. I really like boston accoustics and have enjoyed their splits very much in previous cars, but listen to some speakers and choose some you like.

As Chris said, but Im running Alpine Type R 6.5 coaxial up the back, and the same in 6.5 splits at the front with a spacer (easy work)

Theres a template in this section somewhere for this.

Speaker choice will come down to personal preference and type of music you mainly listen to.

But I personally love mine, and I havn't even got around to sound deadening yet.

awesome!. Thanks for the input guys. :)

Its not so much mounting the crossover that bothers me, rather positioning the tweeters so they can produce overall package. Being down that road in my previous car, but didn't really sound good with tweeters mounted on the door. ;)

yeah I can unserstand that. the tweeters really need to be mounted high and foward I think to get good sound.

in that case just go for something similar to what I did. it's not earth shaking, but I just wanted something for long drives and the main thing was it had to be lightweight, so no amps, and speakers as small and light as possible.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
