stereo in my '91

[arizcats9987]

Hey guys this is a great forum. I am new and I own a 1991 corolla and need a new stereo system. I was thinking about going with an all sony xplod system including subs. I have my deck picked out but was wondering what are the best speakers to get in the front and back that would sound the best in my car. Is there any way to get bigger speakers in the front(larger than 4") and back(larger than 5.25") without it being too much of a hassle? And how do I go about installing them?

Thanks

fo one...dont get an all xplode system...that is pretty much a low end setup...your fronts you will have to get 4'' speakers...backs you can fit a 6'' i belive...and installing them...ask me later if your really serious about putting them in...i dont wanna type too much

[arizcats9987]

whats wrong with an all sony sustem? What would you ecomend instead for a decent price?

[93rollaracer]

sony sucks...nuff said. go with pioneer...i have pioneer speakers all around in my car and it sounds great. you can usually find em for under $100 total at Wal-Mart

[joykill]

yes...pioneer...or you can always go with the low end models or alpine gear...that stuff sounds way way better than a high end sony crap system

how do i get the rear speakers out? remove grill on the speaker box? Pry the box out? help!!

[93rollaracer]

you have to take off the whole back deck. there should be a few screws you can get to from the trunk, and then there's a few plastic clips to pop off then it should slide out

[poorskater]

you would have to remove the seat belts for that would you?

[93rollaracer]

nope...seat belts shouldn't need to be taken out. not 100% sure of that because i'm used to working on my 93, but the seat belt shouldn't be an issue.

ok, well i got a bit of a problem. I tryed to take the board out. there's like 4 or 5 body pins that hold it down. then i tryed to wedge it out. ( i just got this car, i had a honda so im not to sure how to do it and i dont think this way was the right way.) Anyways, the board is old in the car of course.. i think there might have been a water leak or moisture getting to it because when i went to pull it out, it kinda just buckled.. i didnt really pull it hard. I just tryed to yank it a bit to see if that was tha way to do it. Im just wondering if there's a way to get it out. The seatbelts are becoming to present a problem. Their holding the board in. Any tips you have to help please let me know.

Im going for a Fusion System with just one sub becuz the sound should travel quite nicely around the car with just the one. If u still have the parcel shelf u can put 6x9's in the back, but i myself am still having problems finding sum 4" speakers for under the dash..any suggestions? And what do u lot think of Fusion any good?

[93rollaracer]

Pioneer makes 4" speakers...google it and you should be able to find them pretty quickly.

ok i got it. i had to take the side seat pads out, and the 3rd brake light, then slide the seatbelts out and just pull the board out. i fit my speakers in it but the grills arnt big enought for the speakers i put it... any ideas to fix that?

how big are your speakers you're trying to put in?? I put in 5 1/4" but somewhere on the this forum, there's a claim that you can put in a 6 1/2".

On my 1991 corolla, I did have to remove the bolts for the seat belts, but I was only able to take off one of them, so I was lucky enough to pivot the rear deck enough to take out the rear speakers. I only reached underneath the rear deck to place dynamat around the speakers, but didn't want to try removing those bolts again. I think the 93 corolla seat belts aren't conjoined on the side panels, I think they rerouted them behind the seats.

well, the rear speakers were easy. I just moved the seatbelts threw the little slits there were, took out the side seat things, by removing the bottom cushions, then i just slid the wood thing out and did it that way, your have to take the brake light out the window though. I have sense moved on and i know have a 1991 honda accord that i love. It was my first car and i saw some hard times with it but its up and runnig. so im done with corrola'a.
