Music, acoustics - Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 2007

In general, we will buy a car, I immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the music. Plays quietly, no quality! After a couple of months, I started to buy components on the sly!
I started by choosing a head unit. The choice fell clearly on 2-din. but it took a long time to decide what to choose. I wanted high quality, and not expensive. I chose Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD, the advantages in choosing it were BRAND, sound quality, and of course the built-in CD changer for 6 discs. BUT, I was not pleased with the price in Russia. At that time, it cost $ 1400. It turned up so that a friend went to the Emirates, and brought from there the same head, only with a slightly different index Pioneer AVH-P6850DVD. Everything is the same, only it is almost 2 times cheaper, and it is for $ 850.
Then came the acoustics. Pioneer TS-E176 is on the front. The sub took the Infinity Kappa 122.7w 12 "(30 cm). Amplifier Helix Dark Blue 4. Set the rear speakers just for sound, without an amplifier, just an output from the head. Kenwood KFC-S6972 went there, I don't remember exactly the model. Wiring set Mystery MAK 4.04. Capacitor Prology CAP-1, 1 farad.

In general, I gave everything to the installers, after 2 days I took the car. The sub box was made for the car. Was very satisfied for about 4 months. Then it began ...
And everything that could rattle began to rattle. )))))

The front panel, according to my acquaintance, was glued under warranty at the Toyota Center. I did the rest myself. I went to a friend's garage, bought some soundproofing and a thin acoustic foam. It took 10-12 STP sheets for the whole machine, 2 rolls of paralon.

I carefully disassembled all the doors, one by one, so as not to confuse anything, not to forget. The metal was glued with STP, the plastic was covered with paralon. I tried not to miss a single cm. Also, I disassembled the entire trunk, trunk lid, metal also STP, plastic foam. I found out where the irritating sound came from, it turned out that the fixed sub was no longer fixed, but simply dangled. I eliminated everything, fixed it in 4 places, instead of 1 as originally. I also took apart the glove compartment and the console between the seats, there is bare plastic, so I only glued it with paralon.

As a result, it took: 2 days of work, 3500 rubles for materials, and I got TOTAL SILENCE in the car! She probably was not so quiet when I picked her up from the salon! ))) In general, here is such a glued one I have been traveling for a year, and I am very pleased!
