JackyBoi Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi all! I had another test-drive today in the soon-to-be-mine Supra and noted that it has a totally stock sound system, minus a Panasonic head unit. Not necessarily a bad thing, but in all of my previous cars I've always been adamant to have a nice, clean sound system! Just wanted to see what people around here have in their Supra, and roughly how much it cost them. I'm definitely wanting to change the 2x front and 2x rear speakers, but I've also been looking into a boot-build where you have a sub and an amp installed where the spare tyre would be. I have budgeted approximately £1000 for all the audio equipment and want to know if this is enough! You can see the head unit here Thanks all! Would appreciate the makes and prices of said speakers so I can see which is best for me Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Had this fitted for Dragonball, sounded Ok but weighted a ton ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Now THAT is a sound system!! Looking for something not as... heavy though, lol. Plus I'll be needing the rear seats for all those friends who will beg for a lift everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Plus I'll be needing the rear seats for all those friends who will beg for a lift everywhere Good luck with that one lol. Only just enough room back there for my 7&8 year olds and their scrawney little legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Good luck with that one lol. Only just enough room back there for my 7&8 year olds and their scrawney little legs If they have to sacrifice the comfort of their legs then it doesn't bother me in the slightest as long as they have a seat and a seat belt I'm sure it will suffice.

Ric Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Another test drive? so you havent actually bought it yet? or what? Fibreglass moulded sub box holding 2x JL audio 6" W3's Makes for a nice punch while still leaving room for the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and subtle but still packs a punch. How much did those two subs as well as the fibreglass box set you back? In response to your question no I have not actually bought it yet, but I'm in the process of paying off the remainder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I must have spent close to £2k for my setup, though no point in posting pictures as you can't see anything, it all looks OEM I have a thread of it somewhere though. My set up is as follows: Front Pioneer Double Din, with Europe Sat Nav & iPod connectivity. Front Rainbow Components Rear Focal Speakers Alpine Amp in custom box fitted into spare tyre area Alpine Amp The doorcards, rear boot & underneath the rear seats have all been dynamited All work was carried out by Lee from SRD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a little carried away but you can easily achieve it under £1k. Nowadays you can get good double din HU for £250. Speaker wise, try and see if you can a decent set of Focal components, the rear speakers don't matter much. Amp you can hide under the passenger seat, that is what Lee done for me (I didn't have an OEM one there). Few options for the subs, the Alpine one I have is perfect as I don't need it to shake the ground, still rocks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Good luck with that one lol. Only just enough room back there for my 7&8 year olds and their scrawney little legs Really?

Nobody said anything about comfort...lol, well if they did I couldn't hear them, as most of their faces were on the floor The doorcards, rear boot & underneath the rear seats have all been dynamited I hope you don't smoke abz!

I was looking at this HU: http://www.halfords.com/sat-nav-audio/car-audio/dab-radios-car-stereos/pioneer-sph-da110-double-din-app-radio-with-7-inch-multi-touch-screen-gps-and-bluetooth Seems like it would suit my needs? Has two pre-outs in case I ever needed two amps, GPS, Bluetooth for my phone, and reverse camera input, all for £290 not bad huh? Was thinking I might take the Edge door speakers out from my old car but they might not fit, do you know the speaker size for the Supra doors?
