    I need to replace my radio in my 2005 toyota corolla.

    long story short the amplifier was blown in it so got it replaced and it didn't last long so not fixing it again, going to go with a radio you can take in and out easily this time rather than something built into the dash

    so I guess I need an ISO wiring harness adaptor, and a mount for the radio itself so that I won't be left with a big hole in the dashboard

    where can I get these in Ireland other than halfords ?

    Some motor factors do them. If it's a bricks and mortar shop you are after I think halfords would be your best bet though. They are pretty good when it comes to head units and accessories imo.

    An amplifier does not blow as a result of wear and ear. If you replaced the TDA and it popped again then you have a faulty speaker or wiring to a speaker in your car.

    remember testing the resistance of the speaker wiring with a multimeter and it was all good,any other way of testing the speakers or the wiring

    speakers always worked perfectly btw
