So I just want to know if it's possible to add a sound system to my car by keeping things as OEM as possible. For sure I want to keep my stock deck and amp. I have the GT model. I don't know what part number the deck and amps are. Any help? I don't know anything about sound systems either so questions and opinions will be good.

No headunit will send decent power to any aftermarket speaker setup... -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

While this may be true, a 50% difference between power output is still a 50% difference between power output. The difference is noticeable.

I don't understand what a head unit is and I don't understand what you mean by power output? Sorry I have no clue when it comes to this. Lol. -------------------- |
