So here is the first link. I was going to edit my first post with links to my build threads, but doesn't seem to be an edit feature around here. :/ Custom JL Audio installation right here. A quick pic of the box installed:

Just as a reference, here is JL Audio's Stealthbox. Notice how the corolla mat isn't there? Because this box intrudes in the footprint of the mat. Mine allows me to still use the decorative mat. Just sayin.... :)

I haven't finished it yet. I literally finished up that box yesterday. I have two options for the amp rack. One is to build a flip up rack in the tire well above the spare tire. I will build it so that it can lift up on hinges and allow me to remove the spare tire. Two is to mold it into...

Finally, we get to wrap the box. I started with the baffle ring, and worked out. But before I set all the carpet in place, I set the face of the ring, and pressed the speaker into place to stretch the carpet into the inner part of the ring. Once my speaker was in place, I finished pressing the...

The baffle (aka the side of the box the speaker mounts to) is created separately. I set the mounting point inward at the bottom to create a slight angle difference between the plane of the subwoofer and the face of the box. I did this by setting two screws at about an inch an a hlaf of height...

This thread is not meant to be a detailed "how-to." It is meant to be for informational purposes, and as the first link in my buildup thread for my corolla. I will give some details along the way, but as I was not intending to create a writeup, I skipped a few steps here and there between...

Build your own. I just finished up this one today and it only cost me about 200 in materials and few hours of time. (sorry its a 2010 in the pic but the same goes for any pocket of space like this one has. IDK what your trunk space looks like but if you post a pic I'll gladly give my thoughts on...

Thanks. Its a lot of hours! I can't image having that many hours in one of these corollas, although I do have some plans for it. When these tires go, it'll be a wheel and tire package next.

Since I don't really have many pics of the corolla, or anything done to it, here are a few of the crawler. They are not in order, just some random selections. I will consider this my build thread as well, so I will be posting many pics of the corolla over time. A quick rundown of the crawler in...

I wasn't sure what he called the act so I looked it up. It is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Wiki has all the details when searching Magnuson–Moss_Warranty_Act. Thanks Scott! I had no idea. And I doubt that I would have learned this anywhere else!

Wow you're definitely being nice about that one! "Bananas" is letting some of these guys off real easy! Like the idiot who drilled four holes in my exhaust pipe to make it sound better or go faster. IDK what it was for but he thought it was a good idea!

Hello fellow Toyota family members. I'm new to the corollaforum but have been in the Toyota family for about 5 years now. I have an 86 22rte turbo pickup, an 88 xtra cab pickup, and a 2010 corolla le. I've been a member of YotaTech since I bought my 86rte in 2009. Just wanted to introduce...

Here's my last one for the day: I was parked out side of a gas station about to get into my truck when a guy and girl walk by me. Guy: Thats sick bro! How high you jump that thing!?! ME: Uhhh, its not for "jumping..." (with a puzzled look on my face as my SAS'd 88 pickup on 37's sat in front...

A number of years ago before I got into trucks, I used to be an infiniti guy. Had a couple of the G20's and loved them. Anyhow, met this guy who had a brand new kia spectra and wanted to "race" with our "car club." Not really a car club but just a few of us who drove around together frequently...

The 86 to 88 pickups and 4runners are my favorite years for sure. Except that I have stripped the fenders and the bed from the 88 and the bed from the 86 so I gave up some of the reason I love them so much. :/ I almost bought an 87 pickup to fill in the gap but I found this corolla instead and...
