- Those are custom made by Pioneer to fit the Toyota's. JVC makes the
- regular ones only. I installed a pair of the Pioneer's in my friend's
- new Corolla the other day. I wouldn't really recommend these speakers.
- It can't handle much power -- just a few watts, and the cones will
- start giving audible distortions. Some bass-blockers (or capacitors)
- will probably help in his case. The mids and highs sounded ok though.

- Anyway Bary, try rec.audio.car too. There are lots of stereo fans
- there. Just specify the items that you're interested in (eg. usual
- speakers only, or with subs, etc), along with a budget/range, and
- netters there will be happy to give you more suggestions.
