December 2, 200717 yr Not shure where you mounted your sirius but there is a nice little spot between the lower portion of the A pillar just behind the glove box on the right hand side. My shop installs camera boxes there for taxi's, they fit just perfect.
December 5, 200717 yr Author Not shure where you mounted your sirius but there is a nice little spot between the lower portion of the A pillar just behind the glove box on the right hand side. My shop installs camera boxes there for taxi's, they fit just perfect.It's currently laying under carpet, towards the top. I may have to check that area, maybe behind the kick as well. I had it mounted in the jeep in the same spot, seems to be fine, it isn't noticeable.me thinks the jeep is still gonna be louder I think you're right, I'm headed more to the SQ side! But I'll have 4wk for some overhead
December 9, 200717 yr Very nice job man tell me how the EA alt works out for you Edited December 9, 200717 yr by Duaber
December 11, 200717 yr Author Like I said, I'll have lots of overhead ;0 I acutally don't have an amp right now, the deal fell through so I may be getting something else. I don't usually have the sub turned up as near what it's capable of. I bought my alarm (CompuStar Pro P2W9000FMR), along with hoodpin, trunk solenoid I'll have it installed soon. This alarm is bad ass!
December 17, 200717 yr I've been looking into the SoloX. probably the 10 or maybe the 12. with a planet audio RXD2400. Ur doing SQ and SQ is big to me so i wasn't looking very had at the X. Does is sound that good?? If it does sound good then i think i just decide what sub i'm going with.
December 18, 200717 yr Author I haven't installed it in an SQ type box yet... I guess you could consider this an SQL setupI ran into $300 of tint tickets I had to pay to avoid my license getting suspended, so I'll have to wait a little while longer to get it installed haha...
December 18, 200717 yr Author windshield, sides, and tag cover. picI may get my alarm installed this weekend.

Does is sound that good?? If it does sound good then i think i just decide what sub i'm going with.i think they sound pretty damn good. they are a bit on the sluggish side, if you go big box. but overall, not a bad choice if one is wanting a little of everything.casey, what is the sq box?wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
December 19, 200717 yr Author Well I'm going to cater to the frequency response of the car, by RTA'ing the car with a sub inside and outside of the car and build a box based on those results.
December 25, 200717 yr Author I had the alarm installed this weekend. Buzz Thompson from Calusa Concepts installed it for me, and like everything else he did a great job. This is the CompuStar Pro P2W9000FMR, its a great 2-way alarm and packs tons of options. There were 3 pages of features for programming and each feature had 3 options. The car is hella secure now, it has anti-jack features, key sensing etc. I recommend the Compustar to anyone. I added a trunk solenoid, hoodpin, and backup battery as well. On with the pics...Here is the solenoid for the trunk (9th gen corollas don't have a power trunk option)solenoid mounted inside the trunk lidTearing up the dash...Every connection was soldered and heat shrinked. Wireloom was also used where applicable. Backup battery FTWPic of the two-way remote (alarm also came with a one-way remote)
January 2, 200817 yr Author No audio update yet. However, I got a new GPS for the car and I also ordered HID's today.
