Can I install these speakers to the front and rear of my liftback? - Toyota Yaris Forums

W.A.S.P · 10-01-2006, 06:21 PM

What would be needed to have the speaker exposed? Adapters? brackets? McGyver?
I can get both the 6.5 and 5.25 in this model, but by looking at the way the speakers mount (specially the rear) loks like it would be a PITA.

I know I would have to cut out the holes to acomodate these speakers, but is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

Here's the speaker:

you would only need to cut anyhting if you want to use the grill that is with them, the speakers themselfs should just mount up like any other speaker would

I have 6.5 Polk db650 all around and they work great

Yes, the idea is to use the gril that copmes with the speakers. Is that possible?

Great!!!!!

Did you install them yourself? Is there anything that I need to be prepared for upon installation of the speakers? Special mods besides the cutting of the plastics?
TIA.

Exactly like that! Do you think it's possible?

hasher22 · 10-02-2006, 01:24 AM

Yes. Yes it is possible, but im not the one to show u a detailed tutorial about it. I have some idea on how to do it but not 100% sure.

I noticed that u drive a 2door liftback.........im just thinking how u gonna mount the back speakers into the panel. :S

I'm not sure... I asked because for what I've been able to see the actual speaker does not align with the perforated plastic panel. I wonder if it can be moved.

hasher22 · 10-02-2006, 03:42 AM

yea i know the back speakers for the rear of the 2door liftback is fuked.....they didnt positioned it prop.

somehow u have to cut a hole within the panel, and screw the speakers in the panel, yet somehow make it stable to the metal door panel.

Well im no help........................PEOPLE HELP HIM OUT!!!

dont forget... showing off your audio equipment opens yourself up to a greater risk of theft. i always try to make my suff look as stock as possible.

i wonder who a thief is going to hit first: my car, or the one next to me with a 4' long "ALPINE" sticker on the back window.

YamilR · 10-02-2006, 07:55 AM

I had them mounted for me, I dont like the idea of cutting a hole on the door, and be sure you Dynamat the door panels

Do yourself a huge favor and toss out the grills that come with the speakers.

unless that is you want to have a cut your door panels...

vodkalush · 10-02-2006, 03:08 PM

well you dont "need" to but some people like the look of the speaker grills that come with the speakers.. and in that case (atleast with the sedan) you'd have to cut the door panel speakers "grill" off to enable your use of the aftermarket ones ( i personally like the look of stock). To each his own.

and i hope all goes well with the install.

fyi, you'll notice the sound is better, but you may want to think of getting an amp installed if your looking for overal system improvement/volume.

hasher22 · 10-02-2006, 07:39 PM

i was thinking of gettin an amp........dont know where to put it...:S
