Hey guys, jus wondering what kind of stereo installs you all have in RA28 celicas? What were the stock speakers? I think there's one in the centre of the dash (what size) and two 4 inch speakers in the rear, is this correct? What sort of upgrades have you done? Of course pics would be much appreciated 
Thanks,
Tim

i build a custom panel in the centre console from sheet aluminum to house my head unit and the demister and a/c switches, built custom door pods with fibreglass and MDF to house my 6.5" splits in the front doors, and i have my 15" sub sitting in a box in the back seat.
Far from ideal but it works ok.

A friend made the centre console its basically glued and screwed, it looks good i reckon.
I made up a shelf type thing in the back to house my 6*9's and just cut some holes in my door trims for some 6"

In older cars (my last car was a '62 EK Holden), I like to do stealth installs in the glovebox and then keep/put a factory vintage unit (no hooked-up) in the stock location. Looks good and is better for security. Besides, who wears goves anyway?

g'day,
i cut out my air vents and fitted my head unit there with a laser cut perspex surround.
6in splits in the front, 6 in in the rear...
no rear seat with a custom box in its place with 2 15in subs...
a couple of amps and a active crossover...
Cheers
Stew
