Aftermarket Stereo / Speaker Specifications

[bigsky2]

TO Admins: Please Sticky this Post

I thought it would be a good idea to post + sticky this thread for quick reference for those who wish to install aftermarket stereos, speakers, and anything else that may come up as a FAQ.

If there is any information that is incorrect, please feel free to correct me. Any additions are just as welcome so we can make this thread the ultimate reference for stereo info for the Yaris.

Dash Kits - Single Din / ISO Mount
Metra 99-8216
American International TOY K969

Dash Kits - Double Din / ISO Mount
Metra 95-8202

Harnesses - Plugs Directly into Vehicle Plug (for aftermarket stereo)
Metra 70-1761
Best Kit BHA1761
Scosche TA02B

Speaker Sizes - Hatchback 3DR/5DR
Front L+R 6.5"
Rear L+R 5.25"

Speaker Sizes - Sedan
Front L+R 6.5"
Rear L+R 6" x 9"

Speaker Spacers/Brackets for Oversized Speakers (ie. Components, Midwoofers, etc)
For those of you installing larger speakers with big magnets, you may want to use spacers to allow your speakers to be mounted to the door.

I've created a template for the spacer for the hatchback speaker locations found here: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1930
At minimum you should use 1/2" MDF for appropriate clearance for the magnet when your window is completely down.

Hey big sky

"Speaker Sizes - Hatchback 3DR/5DR

Do you know whats the best "Scosche" bracket / spacer to use onto the rear of the yaris liftback???

[bigsky2]

hasher,

I am afraid I do not have an answer for you.
I have not replaced the front/rear speakers so I can't answer you!

From what I've read, it's possible to use the existing bracket/spacer because the (stock) rear speaker size is a little larger than 5.25".

haha thats ok, i baught 6.5 inch speakers for the rear of my yaris....

but the stocked brackets are too small (the rear ones).....so i need to buy some brackets that will acually meet the holes so i can screw it in. (I dont wanna rivet it in)

I baught MDF Wood 6.5 Inch speaker brackets.......the 6.5 inch speakers fit well on the MDF Wood brackets, but its not big enough to meet the 3 rivet holes in the rear. ARRG!!

[johnnyfive]

this is a good idea to sticky this, wish i would have seen this before i went to the local shop today to get the dash kit.

i knew they wouldnt have it in stock, but figured they could order it, they check thier local distro. and didnt have any. so he got on the phone with Metra directly in florida, and they only said they had the Double din kit, i asked about a pouch/blank for it...but said it was just a double din...wish i would have jsut had the part number for them...gues ill have to go back there tomorrow and give it to them....

there is a solution, cut an adapter out of MDF, and there you go :)

outside should fit the stock location, and the inside should fit your new speakers.

but to fit "bigger" speakers in the location 6.5 > 6 you may need to do some cutting to the rear deck, or do some creative tapering on your MDF ring

think this will work?

[johnnyfive]

that will work, but it is likley for 5.5's, not 6.5's, i didnt see any specs on the inside hole...

[Violin]

From a physics standpoint, a 6.5" can be engineered to sound better than a 6x9 ever can.

[johnnyfive]

sticky!

[ebowers83]

What is the difference between single din and double din for a head unit mounting kit?

[ebowers83]

Ok so I figured out the difference. If I obtain one of these kits, realistically, how hard is it to replace? Will I need any other parts? How long will it take for an amateur?

[johnnyfive]

fairly easy to change out head unit, the hardist part is the wiring

just carefully match up all the wires on the harnes packaging, and in your aftermarket headunit manual.

Well you hav spacer templates, so go make some!

[jeff_o]

From a physics standpoint, a 6.5" can be engineered to sound better than a 6x9 ever can.

really? I never knew a 6.5" can outperform a 6x9". When i was reading the first few posts on this thread i was wondering why would one replace a 6x9 with a 6 or 6.5. the bigger the dome the more power and bass you get right?

I printed out the template, and thats about it. I really cant be foooked makin some.

So i just drilled holes in the Sat6 and walla perfect fit. LOL HA!

[atebit]

The toyta part number for the 07 Sedan "standard" radio bezel (in case you want to swap our the #$%^& integrated radio with aftermarket) is 55405-52640. List price is $75 US.

I had to drive to the parts counter to find this out. Now that you have the part number, maybe you can order one on-line and/or find it cheaper...

FYI to owners of the new '09 LBs in the US. Dash kits for the '07 and '08 LBs should be compatible with the '09 LBs. The harness adapters that worked with the '07s and '08s should work as well.

[1NZYaris1]

Speaker spacer's if anyone wants to make some :thumbsup:

[skigil]

I have an '08 LB and I put 6x9's in the back. I ended up making my own spacers out of wood. They are in the car nice and tight and I have no vibrations or any noise coming from them.

Note to all, start with the template above, or throw it out and use a drill and some beer. It all comes out well in the end.

[skigil]

....but seriously, I couldn't have done it without the templates. They are a good start.

[lunjiaow]

Anyone know if its possible to fit 6.5inch speakers in rear of the liftback?

[Alien Mantis]

6.5" speakers fit fine in the rear of the 3-door LB.

I went with Pioneer TS-G1642R in the front and rear of my `08 Hatch.

They were cheap, ( $38 a pair from BestBuy ), and work well with the low power output of the factory head unit.

I just gutted out the crappy factory speakers, and installed the new Pioneers inside the gutted plastic housing. I had to use a Dremel tool on the front ones to get a nice flush fit, but the back ones fit perfectly.

[BLAZINBLUEVITZ]

so 6 1/2's fit in the door with no problems?

[Alien Mantis]

so 6 1/2's fit in the door with no problems?


Not exactly.

The lip/flange of the new speakers did not sit flush on the factory gutted plastic speaker ring.

Different speakers might have a slightly different flange, but these Pioneers did not fit perfectly.
I used a Dremel tool and ground off a little of the edge of the factory plastic ring. Took about 10 mins. After that, the new speaker fit flush all the way around.

Sorry, but I did not take a photo of the process.

[lunjiaow]

Cool thanks alien mantis. I got 6.5's Alpine Splits in the front. Was thinking of putting 6.5s in the rear. Will fit the speakers in when i get the chance to.

[blackgenius007]

Hi mates, I just bought a pair of SAT6 and I found it totally not fit into my 6.5" speaker. I have measured the SAT6 spacer's diameter, it was only 5"+, <6" in diameter... OMG

Can any one please show the photos of SAT6 with 6.5" speaker which has attached to your car?

Thanks and cheers..

Dude, I deadened my door, covered it in neoprene then deadened the outside, and left the easy part for last - speaker installation. Let me say that the SAT6 did not for for sh*t. They were a good 1/4 inch too small; maybe more. I don't know what types of 6.5 inch speakers are fitting in those rings but mine didn't even come close. I wound up having to carve them out of wood using the SAT6 as a stencil and then increasing the diameter of the inner ring.

[MadMax]

OK, I want some decent, cheap, direct fit, plug-and-play speaker replacements in my 08 LB, both front and back but mainly the front...any recommendations?

[ywkung]

the front speaker size is 6 1/2"
Do I have to care about the depth? and what is the depth ?

BUMP!

[jonimac]

Ideally... For me I took out first the OEM speakers to have the actual size of them as sample. You can bring one or two as like and have them match for your replacements, with this you can actually see the difference and decide which or which not FITS. Besides, you would still take out the OEM spkrs for replacements, why not bring them.

Just an idea anyway.

[DailyDriver]

yaris2010RS,

You will be looking at some fun custom work. You can use the stock HU but you will need to run that signal to, ideally, a 4 channel amp that will run your front and back speaks. Then you will want to run a monoblock amp to your sub. The trickiest part will be matching up all the wires coming out of the stock HU. It will just take some time.

Aftermarket HU's are built to just plug and play. you just run RCA cables to your amps.

If you go with the two amps, you will need to find places to mount both of them and your sub. And if you want it to really thump your will want to look for a place to install a capacitor also. You may have run into capacitors on past installs with your dad. If not, so you know, it will help your system to have all necessary power it needs for optimal sound output right when it needs it. it will do this without placing unnecessary strain on your battery.

If you are really looking for a system that "pounds" those pieces are a minimum. And use a set of component speakers up front. You will not regret using this setup.

[sqcomp]

I'm going to disagree with Daily Driver...a cap is not a necessity. Caps do NOT provide power, they store it. Now, if you want POWER, get aftermarket alternator from one of several manufacturers. Mechman, Ohio Generator, Iraggi, Powerbastards...

Also, do the Big 3 upgrade first before making any hasty decisions.

There is also more specifics to uncover about just slapping amps in. Some amplifiers that you might want to use might not have line level inputs. In that case you're going to need a Line Output Converter. There are many out there from the $20 all the way up to the $1000 range.

Within the same subject for this thread, here's two videos of the integrated radio being removed and an aftermarket wiring harness being prepped:

I agree with sqcomp. My point was that a cap makes power available because it stores it. I didn't clarify.

hi...really sorry for the dumb question but...

the silverish part surrounding your best kit, is that the piece that comes with the car or did you have to buy that?

i ask because i look closely at mine all the time and it does not look like it can be separated from the part that houses the heat/ac dials.
further, the stock stereo doesnt look like it can be taken out

[sqcomp]

You probably have an integrated unit...which mine came with as well. I simply purchased a Toyota double DIN bezel and used an aftermarket 1 DIN kit. I took it a little farther than most though by sealing up the annoying pocket and color matching it to the car.

[skoolafish]

ah a bezel. thank you. so with integrated unit, that part is seperate from the bottom part with the AC controls?

[aareyn]

I'm buying an '11 yaris sedan tomorrow, but I still have my system from the '01 mazda protege I sold. I love my boston acoustic speakers, and my back 6x9's will fit, but is there anyway my front 4x6's will fit? I would prefer not to buy new speakers if I don't have to. If this is answered elsewhere, first post, joined today, sorry.

[yaris2010RS]

4x6 should fit in the hole in the door but u will need a mount plate of some sort. i put a 6" in front and it still needed a mounting plate (used 1" think plywood)

[aareyn]

That's what I figured, thanks. As for the dash adapter, does it matter the years on these cars? I can't seem to find one that specifically says 2011.

[yaris2010RS]

as far as i know interior hasnt changed. the 08 tim fit my 2010 so u should be okay there

[aareyn]

Cool, thanks, now I just have to find one

[bsg916]

Just curious if anyone ran into this problem with replacing the front door speakers with the template pdf. I used a 3/4 in piece of wood which is like half the thickness of the factory bracket but now I cannot fit my door panel back on, it appears to be hitting something, but with such little space it is hard to tell what it is hitting the speaker or the template itself. Any idea would be helpful.

[letitbekate]

What about speaker sizes for a 2009 Toyota yaris 5 door hatchback? I see this thread was started a number of years ago. Has the sizing changed at all? Thanks!

[CrankyOldMan]

As far as I know, speaker sizes haven't changed since the '07 restyle. The bigger issue will be finding speakers that fit into either the stock shell or the Scosche SAT6. My Polk DXi650's will not fit in either, so I'm going to make some from sheet plastic or cheap cutting boards.

[Vittas]

An hour or two at most make sure you match up the wiring in accordance with the manual for the headunit. I would also highly reccomend soldering and head shrinking everything. Here is a great video to get you started.

[levy49]

OK i got a 2007 Toyota yaris and I want to change my factory deck, not sure if it will matter but my factory deck is silver instead of black like I had seen on YouTube, and when I was looking for a wiring harness there is ones with and without the factory amp to power the two back speakers, so what I'm asking is what wiring harness do I get, its the 4 door hatchback so any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

[IllusionX]

You need this.

[levy49]

Thanks illusionx but also another question, will i need an amp interface to keep the chimes? I never wired one of these and i never needed one, but the two other cars i wired a deck for was a 2003 subaru impreza and a 2003 saturn ion so i guess they didnt need them, and thanks for the quick reply
Again thanks in advance
P.s. the part number i was looking at is metra TYTO-01

[IllusionX]

This part is designed for aftermarket radio install if you have a build in amp like the JBL or mark Levinson audio system in the Lexus.

I really want help here:

I replaced my factory front speakers with a pair of jvc cs-j620x in my 2009 HB yaris. The music is a lot clearer now, but the bass is terrible. So what should I do now?

Buy an amp?
Change the HU?
Soundeadning the doors?

I am all stock right now. I don't want bass that will keep my neighbors awake. I just want some decent music depth. Please suggest

Sound deadening won't help if speakers are underpowered. If I remember correctly, you are still on factory HU. I'd upgrade that next. When I did my upgrades, I did HU first and immediately noticed better sound with factory speakers. Seemed to me that aftermarket HU had a better sound processor than stock HU.

Yes you remember correct. But I haven't still decide what to do next.
Of course the aftermarket HU has better sound processor. I am 100% sure about that.

But there is a big money difference between an aftermarket HU and an amp.

For the HU u need close to 300€. HU+wirings+2 din dash kit+steering wheel button adapter.

For the amp, I can pick an xplod one for about 80€ and have a proffesional to install it for me for +50€.
And then it will be a plug and play for me a pair of rear speakers.

That's why I am not sure if it's worth to give so much money for an aftermarket HU instead of amp

If you're having bass problems I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but the bass ain't one.

Get a small powered sub and stick it under your seat, wire it to the speaker line level and use the crossover adjustments on the sub itself to tune it up.

But this isn't too much to ask from a stock HU?
Because then it will have to handle 2 door speakers that they are already out of his league. They want more rms than the stock HU can provide. Plus the stock tweeters in the a-pillars, plus the powered amp-sub.

And after reading some posts here and there I came to the conclusion that Toyota didn't gave a sh.t in sound quality for this car. And so, the stock HU is really bad to handle so much tasks without even an amplifier

I have already searched for something like this tho:

is this some thing u have done? U plugged an powered amp sub to the speaker line?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[David C]

That's the one I have in my car, except it's running off the pre-amp sub output of my aftermarket HU, but you could achieve the same using the speaker line level input. It won't drain any power from your head unit, it will only read the speaker signal and use its own power source to move the sub (you have to run 8ga copper wire on a 20a fuse from the battery to the sub).

If you look at other similar sub, you'll see that some of them also feature a second channel built in amplifier that will allow you to power another set of speaker from the amplifier powering the sub. That's also a cheap alternative to installing a dedicated amp just for 2 speakers.

You simply wire the subwoofer amp input in parallel to any of the 4 speaker channel, usually you can input a left and right line, so 2 channel (2 pairs, 4 wires) and that replace a pair of RCA cable.

Yes.

[David C]

It's really about what you're looking for in a HU.

You should list the features and specs you want, then cross reference that to the specs of the HU you're looking at.

Things like pre-amp outputs, Bluetooth versions, USB file format playback, CD reader, Pandora (and other music service), tune ability and quality of crossover range adjustments, user interface (big buttons, easy to see in sun glare, dimmer, etc).

Look up specs on the manufacturers website.

You should list the features and specs you want, then cross reference that to the specs of the HU you're looking at.

Things like pre-amp outputs, Bluetooth versions, USB file format playback, CD reader, Pandora (and other music service), tune ability and quality of crossover range adjustments, user interface (big buttons, easy to see in sun glare, dimmer, etc).

Look up specs on the manufacturers website.



Thank you.
In your opinion are these good deals? It's a huge or a small upgrade over the stock one?
I don't care about the feautures so much. I focus on the music quality
They have everything you have mentioned.
Plus do you know the rms and watt outputs of the stock HU so I can compare them?

Rms output of the stock head unit will be rather similar, maybe a little less, but not that you wouldn't drive any speakers that a standard 22w RMS per channel aftermarket HU could handle. Of course sound quality comes with the price tag.

I've looked up the specs of the Kenwood one, as I'm most familiar with Kenwood receivers than any other brand and it's a decent unit, plus has 3 preamp output (front, rear and sub), at 4v. I wouldn't say it's a high audio quality unit (the Kenwood Excelon lineup is where they improve the sound quality), but you would definitively be able to drive speakers to a decent level with a decent band level adjustment and pre-amp output that are at least not bare minimum potential (the more volt, the less signal loss and the less prone to interference, for example my Kenwood Excelon has 6v preamp output whereas basic HU would often feature 2-4v). Another difference is audio file format compatibility. If you like to play your music off an USB flash drive (like I do) in order to have the least audio loss possible and huge library, then the basic units might not be up to the task as they will only read a handful of difference audio format, so unless all your files are MP3, you may not be able to get them to play. On my Excelon unit, I can read almost every format available, including all the compression free/lossless format and enjoy a much better sound than a compressed file format such as MP3 files. On a standard Kenwood receiver, only 30 out of my 300 files could be read. You'll then have to play those files from a Bluetooth device instead (such as your smartphone), and loose quality along the way.

To decide if it's a good deal, you should check how much the units are selling for elsewhere and what people say about them. Some units have very poor performance despite being a name brand.

You won't need the full dash kit, only the mounting brackets and harness adaptor, which can both be purchased separately on Amazon.

Best deal are often had from Crutchfield.com, as they throw in everything you need in the deal when you buy a HU and include installation sheets, great tech support and warranty.

I need the 2 din dash kit because I have the stock HU, that's it's build in into the frame.

So even if I spend this amount of money, I won't have a big difference. I am so confused.
Weeyari said about a new HU because it could give me better sound quality.

I don't want professional lvl music. I want a descent depth and bass. That's what I am all about.
After reading reviews I think from these 3 pioneer is the best solution.
For the money it's a good deal. But I am just wanna know if there is any difference.

A friend of mine has a vw polo 2012. His sound system is all stock. But you can't believe the sound quality that he has. Really good bass. Really clear sound.
I just want to have this too. Descent bass. Descent highs.
Right know all I have is highs no matter how I change the HU setttings. It's driving me crazy
I want to invest some money to make my sound quality better. Especially the bass.
If I am gonna give 200€ for a HU and have barely any difference + loosing the steering wheel buttons I don't see any reason to do it.

(In picture is my HU. Under it, I have the pioneer I want to replace it with)

Now that's a stock setup the bulk of us are not familiar with. I can see why you are looking at HU packages that include the dash surround.

Yes it's the eu model so it comes with this HU as standard. That's why I need the surround plastics

Weeyari what's your opinion on what u said?

Get the one that has the most features.

Hi Team ,
I am trying to Install Out of Market Headunit , bought one from Amazon , really dont have much higher expectations from it but wanna try , what i dont understand is the Wiring harness and what each Color wire does , can some one please guide me ?
I have Toyota Yaris 2011 , NCP90

[justjesus]

I used an aftermarket head unit.

I bought a wiring adapter from Crutchfield to make life easier.

I believe, but not 100%, they also make adapters for speakers. For near plug and play

[sh0rtlife]

grab the adaptor off amazon thus its pre marked as to what goes where on the head unit

personaly im wondering what "good" but not costly (no not cheep just good bang for buck) speakers for the doors of a 5dr would be

ive got a pair of subs in hand made boxes under my rear seat delete plate, thats got serious kick..need to bring the doors up to snuff
