When in comes to vehicle modification, there’s no denying that sheer volume translates to more freeplay for customisations. Apart from venturing into upgrades that render more focus to performance, one can also enhance other aspects of a vehicle to ensure that every journey is an enjoyable affair. The Toyota Estima, touted as one of the most spacious people movers, commenced its practical duties way back in the early 90s.
Interestingly, cabin-space wise, it is rated as a close second only to the immense Alphard in Toyota’s lineup, which certainly speaks “volumes” when we evaluate the Estima’s ability to ferry a huge family in comfort.
Apart from its primary duty, a niche group of in-car entertainment (ICE) enthusiasts hails the Estima as the perfect platform for media-related customisations. Our feature today is a clear-cut example of one that fully utilises the roomy cabin to feed the owner’s desire for high quality sound systems.
This Estima is no stranger to EMMA competitions. In fact, it is one of the more outstanding participants as it managed to clinch the crown for the “Best of Sound Analog” category back in July during Heat 1 of the EMMA Championships.
A closer look into the Estima will reveal an interesting setup perfected by the great minds at Chuan Sing Auto Accessories located in Serangoon Gardens. Inclusive of installation, this entire project did not come cheap with the owner investing an estimated S$40,000. But the output derived from this project can be argued to be unrivalled in this segment and price range.
For a start, the popular Pioneer “ODR” source unit and processor was chosen. These audio gadgets are renowned for bringing some of the finest sounding details into mobile media haulers. Its high precision components sourced from various parts of the world, along with its ability to reproduce topnotch sound quality leaves little to the imagination even by “audiophile-grade” standards.
What we think: Although cabin space is key factor in mobile media projects, one also needs to keep in mind that the installer also plays a pivotal role in extracting quality output. This Toyota Estima perfected by Chuan Sing Auto Accessories expresses mobile art like no other. Well done!
