Car Progress Thread v2.0, Replacing rusted out quarter panel... yay body work. Options

[jcbass7]

Well you've got to start somewhere and this is my second time starting. Nonetheless, the celica's from my past are all part of the story that has led me to this one and finally being able to complete the project I have been dreaming of. They are also contributing a lot of parts and lessons learned to get this car how I want it. I bought this car in September 2010 and will be marking my progress routinely with many pictures.

Here is the baseline. The starting point. The blank Canvas. I'm giving you a full snapshot into its original condition from when I bought it. Flaws and all. This way the you can see the progress it makes as I fix the little details and add the JDM/TRD goodies.

So I did a lot of work this weekend, I will post pics tonight. I didn't finish everything I wanted, but its getting there. I am having an audio problem though..

I removed both factory amps (premium 8spk sound system) and installed my aftermarket head unit. I wired it exactly the same way I had it in the other celica and it isn't playing correctly. I only hear sound from the two 4" door speakers and I can only hear it when I turn it up to maximum (and then its still very quiet).

I am curious to why I am not getting sound in any other speakers and why its so faint. Could the system just demand so much more power since their are 8 speakers and two of them 8"? I would still think the two rear speakers would be playing though?

Any thoughts?
