I also have a tweeter upgrade video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG8nxTCzVa0 and Rear speaker upgrade video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL5zZH09VuA NOTE : I recommend coating the speaker connectors with dielectric grease, to protect against corrosion! Dielectric grease keeps salt and moisture out, and will ensure the speaker connection lasts for years.
You should upgrade the amplification part, the factory speaker may have an higher efficiency with the light paper cone, the new ones could sound more quiet without a proper amplifier
Quick question, why don't you put the third fast rings (between the speaker and the door panel)? Is using the silicone replace the function of the third fast rings?
Any info and guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers and thanks.
Thanks for sharing this video! Just upgraded the front speakers of my 2017 corolla to 6.5" kicker speakers. You saved me alot of time and frustration. And the sound clarity is so much better!
The box has 2 speakers inside it?
Does anyone know what wires to cut if your installing a crossover. From the main speaker harness, which set of wires comes from the radio?
Best buy has bracket like $18. Speaker Walmart $25
Great video! I just bought the Infinity REF-6530cx for my 2014 Corolla. Does anyone have a recommendation for where to install the crossover unit? It's about W4" x H3.25" x D1.1". This is my first speaker install.
What are the speaker terminal sizes?
You have done a great and clean job ☺️
Nice, I'll skip the foam part for now. But would definitely in the future.
This guy sounds like a robot. It was torture. Left after less than a minute..
Wow, un autre excellent vidéo… j'ai une corolla 2016, est-ce que je pourrais t'engager pour faire exactement la même chose que dans cette vidéo?
Hey where did you get your little heat
Pen you used for the shrink tubing from?
Can you do a video on changing the tweeters on the Corolla
My speakers didn’t come with screws which ones would work ?
Can I use speaker harness adapters to connect to the cars speaker wire connector and the new speaker terminals so I don’t need to cut and crimp new speaker wire? You have the listed in the Amazon list for your rear speaker replacement video
