I officially call my car a nugget because of you and I will not stop
When you start it: "wE aRmInG tHe NuGgEt" 😂
I’d say that my 2006 Renault Laguna is the worst nugget of ‘em all XD
I bought myself a pretty tidy dacia estate car, had a friend who asked how much I paid for it, and said I could have got something fancier (but less tidy) for the price, and I just replied that its just "An Car"
My literal number plate is now OLDNUG thanks to dank pods lol
I mean MCM were calling cars Nuggets before dankpods was even a thing. Guessing it's and Aussie slang thing
I can only imagine the chuckle of someone stopping at a redlight with his windows rolled, hearing construction level rattle and turning around to see "the car" blasting scarlet fire
Oh I'm so excited to watch this. My own nugget just broke down on the side of the road and we're waiting for a tow. At least I have this channel to cheer me up and give me hope that she can be fixed!
With such Hard Work from George. You ought to get him a beer.
I genuinely loved the car cleaning vid, especially the wetvac parts lol
needs a sleeper PC built in with those cheap monitors that strap to headrests. Love this.
Awesome install, but just so you guys know subs will sound better and be much louder reversed firing towards the rear of the car. Also you’ll find it’s louder not having the amp maxed out but set correctly to match the gain of the headunit.
I have a 2008 Camry with 2 12’s in the boot making 145db on the daily in Adelaide too.
Oh hey, my Corolla's rear doors also bounce open! It's a neat feature.
This is like a car you'd steal and form an attachment to in GTA IV.
I just realized, Dank is basically 2 steps away from being an Ausie Ratrod maker.
mate after seeing the rear end of that 98 corolla I got some very specific at least USA true facts about that Corolla and after having had a 96 I know a lot about them, the fact that it has the 1.8L motor which is the toyota 7A-FE 4 cylinder which came in ONLY THE LE OR DX trims of the corolla makes this an AE102 Corolla, built off of the E100 chassis, man this thing is timeless and simple, there is a beauty in its simplicity, and honestly if the cost to import one to the USA wasn't so high I would, have one imported probably from Japan, I would actually target the AE101 Corolla though with the 1.6L 4A-FE and 5 speed manwell transmission, I will be swapping out the 4A-FE for a custom 7A-GET, which takes the 7AFE block and puts a 4AGE 20V Blacktop head on it and a turbocharger, with a standalone ECU, aiming for 230 to 350 wheel horse power, and of course like your wonderful nugget I will be finishing this corolla in Toyota factory Teal Mist metallic 6N1 I know my favorite pant when I see it mate and that is Teal Mist Metallic I absolutly love those little Corollas and miss mine dearly and to see someone else that I watch regularly enjoying and taking care of one make me happy to see someone else enjoying their car
I would put rubber mounts on the Amp if you are mounting to the box because of the vibration. And I would recommend tuning the Amp because how it is set up now is going to kill the Amp and the subs quick. After that, enjoy the beautiful setup.
I also put a Kicker setup in my 95 Corolla but you're going to find out like I did that the rear parcel tray and C-pillar trim rattle like crazy when you turn the bass up and you'll have to insulate them like I did. Love this little car, this and the Donkey Van are my favorites
Being unable to stop the flow of Armorall wipes is so relatable 😵
omg I can't believe I forgot about the mate george.
what a king, what a lad, what a legend.
I think all my neighbors have this exact audio setup.
I feel like you need some kind of Frank's head sticker on the end of the vacuum so she can eat all the nuggets she finds under the seats
I'm so glad he tested with scarlet fire, it would have felt wrong
For a bit I really thought he said "butt plugs" instead of "sparkplugs" - I truly need to work on myself..
My dad had the same cutie(but he bought it in the best condition), Only dark blue and with angel eyes (as headlights are called in Britain). I loved her so much. I liked kissing her on the front bumper. I created a character based on her. Corolla, I hope you're in loving arms. Lesbians never say goodbye . (This car was my girlfriend. Yes, I'm weird and I don't care if I'm straight)
With love, CorollaArts.
I've had some interesting cars since I had my 7th gen Corolla over a decade ago, but I still miss it the most. That car and I had both been through a lot.
CarPlay? That makes this more advanced than a modern GM vehicle

Ah, I didn't know Wade was the one driving around my neighborhood at 11PM at max volume every night!
“The Car” more like…. Car candy crushers 😂
id love to see a fix for the door handles, and that ratting boot lid. cus i have those exact problems with my rolla :D
Back in like 2012 I swapped out the stereo and speakers in my 1993 Honda Accord with only a minimum of research and no professional knowledge of how to do it.
Somehow it went better than this.
Granted the front speakers are currently only held in with silicone caulk because the screw holes didn't line up, but hey it's sounded great ever since! Or... well better than the warped cardboard speakers at least!
Hopefully the mechanical stuff and potential rust can have a little do over so she can stay healthy for longer
And new paint like white
Still love how at the beginning of the video you list every reason why you See and treaty the car as a shitbox

Quality "the car" content
Thank you
My old car was all stock and big fat sub. no room in the boot, no access to the spare, just a big dirty bass machine in the way.
Happy birthday the car
thats a true sleeper car lmao
I want to do this to my 2004 Corolla now 👀 she’d be as good as a brand new Corolla on the market tbh it’s so reliable. I call her the MacGyver.
NO the speakers will vibrate the filth off
Having a Camry nugget of a similar vintage, i seriously believe that car is going to survive an apocalypse. Toyota made good shit back then
PS if you ever find a cheap source of those neo-lights that go in the aircon button, those fuckers are impossible to find in the right size
Crikey the stereo is worth more than the car!

This video is legit bricking my Mac
I have a 2000 corolla i bought for 600$ and its basically the same as this, never fixed a thing, put 2 12 inch subs in the trunk and aftermarket speakers in the front, gutless, has no power and it doesnt get up to temperature but its always fun to watch peoples faces when i crank up the subs on my beat down corolla lol
Just a heads up > the gain knob on a car audio amplifier is not a volume knob other than that, great video. James is such a great dude.
You should make an ornement out of that fifty and fix it to the car
1:20 barely a minute and a half in and I see a fellow Corrola owner issue 😂 had it happen on the driver side door. Just take it out, lube it, should be good.
The actual handle is pressed together so sadly it cannot be taken apart unless you cut it.
You need to get a Toyota Tercell, my dad used to be a drunk and smashed his repeatedly but it never broke, the entire front bumper and right fender ripped off, runs like a dream!
It was a 92’ for anyone asking
omg i just saw the best crossover in my entire life 8:18
might find you’ll get less distortion from the sub if you turn the gain down on the amp and just use EQ on the kenwood unit
You probably belong to one of few people in the world that managed to kill all the critters in the barn class car with a sound.
you should rig the subwoofer to the alarm system
You released this on my birthday
I know you PROBABLY won't see this but that subwoofer would sound better facing the back. They need a load wall and ...nvm. Just turn them around and set your gain with an oscilloscope please. Or toss me some money to fly in and I'll do it😂
I saw it
you should do a full rebuild on this it would be a good video
the car got a birthday on my birthday! look at that!!
2:12 I find it wild, how can aussies be so much more similar to the English opposed to us Canadians, we don’t have sausage rolls, just not a thing
Because Australia stayed true to the mother land, had a massive British immigration wave all through the 19/20th century and Canada went all out American.
@@gubgub3275 that’s intresting I didn’t know Australia had a influx of British immigrants thru the 20th century! I would argue our deveation has more to do with the high level of immigration from everywhere but England! For example my family comes from Italy 🤷♂️ and most my neighbours are Italian in my area, the neighbouring town is mostly Indian, and when you get into big cities like Toronto and such it’s a mix bowl, tho in the more empty parts of the country you have communities of mostly English, indigenous, depending where you are even Ukrainian, polish, German, Irish… and then you got Quebec which is all this plus 500 year generational French Canadians
Add a roof rack. Slap the spare tire on that. No need for fix a flat
that useless spot isn't useless I stuff my sunnies in there
I think those earmuffs didn't help for the end of the video
So is the range mids and heavy bass? Should throw some classic music in there say the intro from star wars Emperor strike back

Even as an audio enthusiast you still get the fun of stupid bass. Real asf for that. 10/10 upgrades
I do think the woofers and the port should have faced outwards though because of air it needs to move, so i’m guessing he won’t get the full fartbass experience, but as long as the rear seats is down it’ll be good😆
I put some stinky alipines in the back of my work van, an old dodge caravan.
It does bring joy to hear fartbass rattling all the cheap Chrysler plastics loose.
James saying "I can't make it stop" was comedy freaking gold. Also, the total change from beige to blue is making me very concerned that my 1997 Toyota Camry may actually have a blue interior as well.
my 92 corolla was the same way haha. after a cleaning it became blue.
Wade: “It’s supposed to be perforated!”
James: “ₒₕ”
As a Brit, I feel a surge of patriotism whenever I see a George (or his brother Henry).
We may not have an empire anymore, but we gave the world the vacuum cleaner with a face. And that's a legacy that never dies.
And a vacuum that never dies! My grandparents still have one from the early thousands and it still works *just fine*
@@CoffeeOnRails can't believe the Brits have been making vacuum cleaners for over a thousand years.
@@trulyinfamousyeah we tried the whole "colonize the planet" thing but in the end we decided to just go back to what were actually good at, hoovers
Same man love henry hoovers
As another Brit, I feel unable to prevent myself from making the observation that Henry Hoovers suck. 😂
I couldn't stop giddy laughing along when the bass started hitting. A sun bleached Rolla with enormous Kicker subs shaking the body panels takes me right back to '98.
It still floors me just how effective George is. That thing went from "Wrecker-worthy" to "Near-pristine".
GEORG!
The lesson learned: NEVER DOUBT OLD MATE GEORGE.
Mate, George, Henry, Hetty, any hoover or vax from Numatic are amazing. So proud to be British
GORGE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pisses me off that Georges are only like $260 in the uk but priced gouged to fuck and back at $600 in the us.
It's inexplicable how entertaining two mates cleaning a car interior can be.
those woofers are perfect. now you can create the sound of a bunch of tradies building a house next door whenever you want!

2 12s(?) In the back of a Corolla is truly one of the things of all time
You know it's sad but true
nice pfp
I pray that the Japanese worker that tightened all the bolts in that car made double sure those bolts were tightened REAL good.
Because those speakers are really gonna be testing them.
It's a yota half of em could disappear and you wouldn't know
I think these were made in Australia at that time

Linus used to hawk his cable ties all the time before they made the screwdriver, this is the first time I see someone outside of LTT used it lol
I got cable ties like that when I bought my PC parts I think... I definitely got them with something. They are great!
Also I'm pretty sure James said he has an LTT screwdriver
I personally don't like the monocolor cable tie set, I have a thing of four different colors that I used to manage my cables at my desk so I know which cables are my aux, electrical, and hi fi wires
@@vappyreon1176 sounds like a good idea. If I ever get to the point of having to do serious cable management I hope I remember this

I'm so proud of you for that amazingly early 2000's sub setup. Love the commitment.
Definitely needs neon tubes underneath for underglow now
And no paint rework.
I know! Kenwood? Kicker? Rockford Fosgate? It's the late 90s all over again! ^_^
@Nick Wallette true 90s would have an Alpine head unit as well 😅. My dad had MTX Audio stuff in his old Commodore
On this episode of Garbage Time, James installs a bangin stereo for his tunes
That 1998 50 cent coin MUST BE glued to the dash!
It would be a cool easter egg and a cool reference to the lucky penny that won the 1998 Daytona 500
That part where you took the old junk speakers out really took me back because I used to have a 1997 Corolla which was more or less identical to this one (but US spec, so it had those massive bumpers). I remember holding those old, nasty paper speakers and thinking, "This thing made sound?"
A couple audio engineer notes re: the subwoofer
Obviously if you're happy with it, there's no need to mess with it, but
If you're having issues where the subwoofers are creating a lot of noise, hum, buzz, etc, you might want to try turning down the gain at the subs and turning up the volume at the bass knob (or elsewhere up the signal chain, idk what kind of EQ controls or whatever you've got on there). Analog cables are noisy, and cranking the gain at the end of the signal chain (the amp built into the subwoofer cabinet) means you're turning up all the noise introduced along the length of the cabling, so for purposes of signal-to-noise ratio, it's best to boost the signal level as early on in the signal chain as possible.
You would get a more focused response (read: more low end) from the subs by turning down the cutoff frequency. The advantage of subwoofers is that they allow you to split up the frequency spectrum into ranges and send those ranges to speakers so that each speaker can just focus on its own range. 250 Hz is pretty high for a subwoofer cutoff frequency, and setting it that way means you're feeding stuff that isn't really low end into it, meaning the subwoofer has to worry about not only the low end but also some low midrange, thus splitting its focus and reducing the amount of low end you'll get out of it. It's definitely a balancing act, because setting the cutoff frequency too low means you're forcing the main speakers to handle some of the stuff that the subs should be handling. At the same time, if you're getting 120 dB SPL out of your system, you probably have nothing to worry about, but if you're looking to really put those speakers to the test, you might try playing with the cutoff frequency.
Initially I was gonna tell you to shush and let people have fun, but this is a genuinely good comment for giving that sub even more gutbusting bass. Good comment :)
Gonna have to show this to my buddy who just installed a sub into his car.
250hz?! I run ~80hz!
@@Luke-we9gj Thanks! The way I see it, audio engineering is all about solving problems, so if there is no problem, there is no need for action, so I fully intend this as a guide for troubleshooting if there are problems like "that hum/buzz/etc is really annoying" or "I'm not getting as much low end as I want".
Shouldn't he run no cutoff on the sub and just do everything in the head unit? That's a valid config right? Otherwise thanks for explaining that quite well
My dad used to have a big subwoofer in his 2002 honda jazz/fit. He always blasted it on high levels. This made the whole car rattle, but when it got rear ended in an accident, the rear window just fell out clean without breaking, because it had been separated from the glue, because of the subwoofer. Great times😅
That crash wasn't an accident, someone was jealous lol
@@sandror3841 the funny thing was, we had just fitted a new double din Pioneer radio into it, which was a pain to install, but it finally worked. It played dvd's, had bluetooth and it could be controlled with a remote in my hand, not on the steering wheel. Wonderfull radio, we still have it, but the jazz was totalled. We sold it on, now it's fixed and has a new owner. Our new 2012 Jazz has a standard radio now and my dad doesn't want to change it because it works very well. Might have to convince him to change the speakers one time. He's an hifi nerd(just like me) so that will be easy.
P.s. the accident happened because of an angry maniac, not a jealous guy.
4:42 HUH??
Now you can replicate the experience you had with tony while going up the hill with those speakers!! Bonus points if you overheat it
