#21 of 100 Speakers by violin Jul 17, 2006 (7:38 am)
I finally got time to install my speakers yesterday. The MB Quarts sound great with the factory head unit. (MB Quart RCE-216s in front, RCE-213s in the rear.)   The factory speakers are different than I've seen before. The mounting bracket is actually the speaker cage. The rear speakers are a little larger than 5 1/4" - more like 5 1/2" or 5 3/4".   To install the woofers, I just cut the speaker cone and the rear basket off the factory speaker and used it as a mounting bracket. The front was easy. I just used longer screws to attach the woofer to the factory bracket. For the rear I used construction adhesive and glued the MB Quart mounting bracket upside down on the factory bracket and screwed the new speakers to it.   The rear speakers I set up as coaxials and installed the front as components (photos below).   It looks and sounds great.       I also added Dynamat XTREME sound damping in the doors and hatch lid and some closed cell foam as well. This not only makes the speakers sound better, it cuts down road noise a lot and eliminates the cheap *ting* sound when you close a door. Replies to this message: reuel3 (Jul 17, 2006 3:14 pm)

#23 of 100 Bras Do MORE Damage! by yaris46 Aug 10, 2006 (2:59 pm)
NEVER install a vinyl bra on a car PERIOD. They do far more damage to the paint than no protection at all. Want to protect your paint? Install WWW.UTRASHIELDUSA.COM or WWW.ARMOURFENDUSA.COM are 2 quality companies. P/Protection is FAR MORE than a clear nose bra. It protects your fenders, wheel wells, door edges, door sills, rear quarter panels, windshield frames, 50 percent of your hood, rear bumper rear view mirrors. In other words you protect the paint. Vinyl Bras are not only expensive, they DAMAGE YOUR CAR! Replies to this message: jenn1977 (Jul 09, 2007 5:40 pm) lhanson (Jul 10, 2007 7:20 am) jenn1977 (Jul 10, 2007 7:28 am)
#24 of 100 Spare Tire by bruyere Aug 29, 2006 (9:14 pm)
I have the 185/60x15 alloy wheels on my 2007 4 door Yaris. My question is, will one of these wheels fit into the spare tire well in the trunk? I would like to replace the "donut" with a full-size tire. What are my options? Thanks.

#26 of 100 Center Armrest & Tweeters...WHERE to BUY? by lucynethel Jun 25, 2006 (1:12 pm)
Hi owners. Just got home with my white Liftback-auto tranny with upgraded stereo & mp3 Player etc. But NO tweeters! Anyone know best way to add em?   Also, I do NOT like the center armrest option from Toyota that takes away teh center cupholder. On Scions, there is after market version WITH built in storage in the new armrest. Anyone have a source for the Yaris?   Thanks for any ideas!
#27 of 100 tweeter/armrest by fearturtle44 Jun 25, 2006 (2:24 pm)
If you want tweeters and want somebody else to do, just go to Best Buy or Circuit City or your nearest "good" install location.   Not sure about the armrest but my Scion tC had a center armrest with storage but my Yaris S ALSO has same except tC had another top compartment.   I do like the drinkholders near the vent as is easier to reach/see though it takes away the heat/ac vent.   Kevin

If by "upgraded stereo" you mean the stereo that comes with the power package or convenience package, the speakers are not really very good. Adding tweeters would not produce much better sound, especially without a crossover network.   My own preference is for the MB Quart component/coaxial speakers that can be set up with the tweeter in an independent location or in the center of the mid/bass speaker.   In the Yaris liftback you can put a 6 1/2" speaker in the front door and put the tweeter in the rectangular piece of plastic above the window switches. Use 5 1/4 inch speakers in the rear configured as a coaxial.   If you are comfortable doing the work yourself, you can get pretty good deals on last year's MB Quart RCE-216 and RCE-213.
#29 of 100 Yaris S rear speakers by azyaris Jun 26, 2006 (6:19 pm)
I am working on upgrading my sound system in my 2007 yaris, and while I know that the front speakers are 6.5" I am not sure about the rear ones, they look like 6x9 but I can't verify this without removing the back covers. Has anybody else upgraded the rear speakers in the S coupe?
#30 of 100 uninstalling the arm rest by rocketman10 Jun 28, 2006 (11:42 am)
Does anyone know if the armrest on the Liftback can be "uninstalled". I ordered a Liftback automatic without an armrest and I was told by the dealer that it was installed at the port and can't be uninstalled. I don't want to lose out on the cupholder. Does anyone know if the dealer can "uninstall" the armrest? Those that have the armrest, do you think its worth keeping it?   Those that don't have an armrest, do you like the Liftback without it or do you think its worth installing.   Thanks and I look forward to the replies. I have enjoyed reading all the comments in the various sections. It convinced me to buy the Liftback so I am excited. It has taken about 2 months and will be here in a few weeks. I will report how it drives, etc. and write a review. Replies to this message: lucynethel (Jun 28, 2006 12:38 pm)
