Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Subs

Hmm...im wondering wut is the smallest aftermarket sub size out there...i only want a small one that kicks pretty well, but in the mean time, doesnt hurt my head when i turn the volume louder...

what should the set-up be? (amps, subs..etc)

im not a sound system guy...im still an idiot on that thing hehehe~ my friends please help me out~

I saw some 6" at wal-mart, but the quality is , If you're not a fan of loud subs just replace your factory speakers with some other speakers like rockford, pioneer, power acoustik etc. and with that you shopuld be all set. But I think one 10" [500W] + amp will not hurt

8 inch... but you wont even feel it.

If you want a great sound with decent bass look into componenent systems.

what do you mean by component part?
replace the stock speakers?
i think the 03 JBL is pretty nice...or that's because i havnt hear any good speakers yet?

u havent heard a good one. celica speakers (JBL) are a kind of diss. if you want subs go with standard or else jsut get good speakers. if i were you i would get good speakers and tweeter since you not into that much. another recommendation is that go into a car with a sub and see if you like it.

If you want a loud system without blowing your face off this is simple. Head down to Best Buy or Circuit City and grab these parts (or have them installed if thats what you eant to have done).

(1) 10" Alpine Type-E Subwoofer ($75)
(1) Low-Power Amp ($150 - $250)
(1) Kenwood or Pioneer Head Unit ($150 - $200)

My stock speaker setup sounds great with 2 subs, and it will sound fine if you want just one. Try this and if its not working, head back down to the place that installed all this stuff and ask them for a good speaker suggestion.

Edit: Forgot to add a Sub box. Do this custom if you have patience and wanna have some fun with it.

my setup is a kenwood receiver, two alpine typy-e 12's, and a 700 watt mono alpine amp. sounds great, but is loud. i hve had the 10's and they're loud too. i would go with rockford 8's or these [sounddomain.com] ...rockford 7's????

Buy my setup ...fosgate all the way tho!!! https://celicahobby.com/ubbthrea...&PHPSESSID=

fosgate makes some good stuff that sounds sick in celica's. for sure go with fosgate. go with maybe just 2 12'' HE's and you will be set trust me. please dont buy a walmart amp or sub system that is just degrating to the celica.

I have 1 fosgate 12" sub that sounds real clean and when turned up it rattles the hair on your head. it's all up to you but here is a pic of my set up.

I got a 75 dollar amp from BestBuy pushing 400 watts with a 400 watt fosgat 12" sub and a probox from my local car audio store.
Go to www.hookedontronics.com [hookedontronics.com] and you can find some real good prices there with this sub for like $56 bucks. check it out. and please trust me about the fosgate thing. my friends have kicker, jl w3, and others and mine is the loudest by far when turned up.

ive been into some cars with loud subs...and i dont like it at all...

maybe i will go with just changing the speakers~
do i really need to change my head unit if im just changing the stock speakers?

nope! but what you should do is get an amp and amp the speakers! you need to get a line out converter too if you keep the smae deck!

you gotta bypass your stock amp too, or you could fry your speakers.

icic, thanks everyone~
i'll buy a somewhat decent amp then change the stock speakers~

dont want the sub anymore...takes up trunk space...and i dont really like the pumping sound it makes (am i the only one?)..

by the way, wut is the sizes of our speakers? do Canadian 03 GTS have 6 or 8 speakers?

Buy a 10" sub, a box, and an amp wid a bass knob so you can control the bass...
