amatthews45 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hey guys how many of you ep82 have the factory starlet amp? I belive its under one of the front seats I seen one for sale on yahoo auctions Are they hard to retro fit? Going to look shortly for a loom under seats to see if I can get one and plug it in. if I am wrong please correct me haha Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think I have one under my seat. Am yet to take it out and have a look. I don't get it though. Why would you want it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I like the smaller optional extras A speaker amp would be a nice addition to the uprated speakes in the car I like my music loud but not OTT I not gonna add anything aftermarket and chavy Doesnt look like I have the wires unless tucked under the carpet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Little offended lmao. I am going to bin that amp for a nice Modern amp. Not chavey. Just I want my Starlet to have a nice audio system. So it'll get replaced with high quality parts, for CRISP, sound. I'm not a big fan of loud noises, but can appreciate a clean sound.

amatthews45 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Haha sorry I just trying to keep a oem feel though the whole car. Nothing modern Well I will take the amp off you pics of the wiring would be a nice bonus Could be a pain in the arse to fit but I am willing to give it a go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If anyone's looking for a high quality amp that will easily fit under a seat and is suitable for powering the front speakers then I've got one of these: http://www.genesis-ice.com/uk-en/products/view.php?id=1 These amps are in a totally different league to any of the crap you'll find in halfords but you'll need some half decent speakers to make the most of it, Starlets aren't the best of cars when it comes to audio as the standard speaker size and location is awful. 4 inch speakers under the dashboard are rubbish.

amatthews45 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 That looks cool ste just not as retro as I would like. Currently browsing ebay at old amps haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Much do GT optional amps go for anyway ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Prob not much the one on yahoo auctions cheap. Gonna see if the loom under my carpet later if not gonna order a retro sony amp to match up with my other sony gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You should have the loom there, all the GTs ive seen / had have a couple multiplugs taped away along the door Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I will have a good rummage shortly if I do then I will get a factory amp. I seen the toyota cd changer loom In boot and behind the strero. Wonder how the cars speakers work without the amp compleating the circuit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 These the only loose plugs I found had a good feel under the whole carpet nothing :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Check for this part of the loom halfway along the OS sill. My other starlet has thia and wasnt fitted with an amp as an extra.And this part of the wiring comes with the amp im sure, but should plug and play with the normal GT loom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Wow thats confused me more hahaI checked both sides This was what was on the passenger side Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Anyone got anymore info? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Sorry, did I want to sell my amp? I was probably going to put it in the loft and put it back in when the car goes for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Mine has the loom underneath the drivers seat. it seems to come out of the carpet near the handbrake. i don't have an amp but I assume that's what that wiring was for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I cant find the loom so I fould a retro sony stereo to match all the rest of the stuff I got. Hopefully its not to big to go under the chair Quote Link to post Share on other sites
