Lots and lots of pics of my Camry (*7 large pics*)
After waiting all these time, most of the snow finally melted and I got a chance to snap some new pics of my Camry! But guess what though, just shortly after I took the pics, a snowstorm had started again :
Anyway, enjoy

I see sombody went alittle over board in Boxing Day
The car is lookin' very sharp. So...tell us...how's the turbo so far?
Also, just outta curiousity, what kind of enclosure is housing that sub?
BTW- Z-103.5 :
Edit: what's the deal with the wierd wiring configuration from the amp to the sub. It looks like you've got 2 pairs as outputs, yet only one sub :-?
Thanks guys... anyway Phi, the amp was wired with the speaker level inputs; instructions on the Kenwood Amp stated it should be wired this way if there isn't any RCA outputs on the deck. Thr four wires going into the amp are the signal wires from the speakers. I didn't want to rewire it again either when I installed the new deck like a week ago. I am also building a wooden box to surround the woofer that is suspended to the back panel... as you know, I hate having sub boxes that takes up space. The way I mounted it doesn't take up any trunk space.
BTW, what other radio channels you recommend? I need some variety
Hey Scepter, the third brake light cover was given by the dealership when my factory spoiler arrived. I am sure you can buy it from a local Toyota dealer.
Hey Razo, I don't really like non-functional body kits/side skirts. If the Australian Touring Camry's didn't have side skirts and big rear bumpers, so my Camry doesn't need them either 8) I like the fact that my Camry looks very normal from behind (so I can prey on some ricers...haha)

Tony, though I don't remember ever meeting you, but your Gen3 looks great. How about a picture of yourself? Hopefully, you're better looking than Phi...

IC what you did now. This method is generally reserved for stock head units that don't have any other expansion options. You're forgiven 'cause you got a turbo :wink: , but you're not getting the cleanest signal. Your deck has three pre-outs. One of which is a dedicated Subwoofer Preout. Tap into that preout with RCA wires and run it along the side of the car to the amp.
Clever idea with the enclosure. If only I had time, tools and a garage to even consider such a project
As for tunes, may I suggest Classical 96.3 to sooth and calm your nerves as you roll up beside FungFu_SiR? The seductive low notes of Bach, Bethoven, Brahms and Chopinwill rumble through the subs as the violins dance with your BOV

I've had the honour of meeting Tony on several occasions...I think our relationship isn't at risk Luc. Unfortunetly for you, Tony prefers blondes. Don't even think of dying your hair either...real blondes.
how's the sub bump inside the car? it looks clean, and like a good idea....
For the sub, I had to trim a circular hole on chassis (the thin metal panel) so the sub would clear. Since the sub was mounted onto the carpeted plastic board, there was a lot of vibration at first without any insulation. I went to Home Depot and purchased some very stiff insulating foam and put them on all the places where the plastic panel would touch against the metal chassis. I am very happy the way the subs perform right now, so I doubt I will be upgrading anymore audio stuff from now on...lol. The best thing is that the woofer is sitting right inside the car, so the bass is very direct and goes along with the rest of the speakers very well I don't think I will build a box around it either... too much work!

I know you're not into audio and prolly don't care, but the sub is not designed to flap around without some sort of enclosure. There are what are called "free-air" subs that are found stock in Lexus' that are designed for this application. However, free-airs will never perform as well as a properly enclused sub. Like I said earlier though...I know you don't care. Just don't pump the sub too hard. The BOV sounds better anyways :wink:

Werd. Carpet should always match the curtains.
