Rear speaker cont.
10 - (forgot to take pic - but to take off the rear cover simply put you hands under it and start lifting and gently pulling forward; start from one side and work you way to the other side) picture shows what you should see
11 - The stock speaker; remove foam padding. 12 - Disconnect the speaker wire ** 13 - Unscrew speakers (4 screws each speaker) 14 - Since the stock speakers are to big you need to buy/make (since this is diy i made mine) Outline stock speakers onto MDR (not what i used... but its what you should use). I would recommend cutting out the center first, then drill the holes and then finally cut out the spacer/holder. 15 - My finished bracket 16 - Speaker attached to new bracket 17 - Place new speaker into the speaker spot, plug in new speaker (cut off old speaker then splice onto new speaker) then screw down the bracket. Put the foam back on. 18 - Place the "cover" back on. screw the carseat brackets back on. install all of the plastic rivits. 19 - Finally just double check that everything is put back together.* Last edited by vodkalush; 10-20-2006 at 09:04 AM. |

A few questions:
1) How long did it take you? 2) What did you you use for your spacer? 3) Are you using the new ones with stock H/U? 4) If only using with stock H/U how do you like the sound compared to stock? Thanks....great tutorial BTW....Toyota had told me the seat had to come out! If it is this easy then I will do it myself.

1 - Well its hard to say... I had to figure how to get everything out and then had to go out and get my spacer material... but if you have all the right tools, and material you could prob. swap these out in an hour to 2 hours (including cutting time of spacers).
2 - I went to lowes and got a sheet of oak paneling (the stuff you find with plywood) 3 - I am using the stock head unit. 4 - The new speakers removed the "bass blur" and I no longer have to turn the volume to 20+ to hear voices in songs. I'd say it was a huge increase to overall sound quality. if you rate stock speakers at say a "4.5" then its now a "8.5". The one thing I'm thinking about adding now is a amp... only because I like to drive with the windows open when I'm on the thruway.

Just curious... why did you replace the stock rear speaker of your Yaris with these Pio? I hear these exact Pioneer you install and they sound ten time badder than stock? So why?

I think they sound alot better then stock, the my stock ones blurred all the voices/sounds together... for example, if I was listening to Stern all I would here when he talked was a real bassy mess... now I can hear him and anyone else talking. I like them alot better then stock.

The rear speakers they totally suck!How can aftermarket speakers be worse than the stock ones?

My Set up
I only got a 1000W amp powering two 12"s.
And I use the stock radio/steapkers on normal settings; except treble at +5. Bingo, good sound/enough voice :) |

The stock speakers do a real great job, personnaly I think Pioneer speakers are real craps exept for the higher end model maybe. If you want real great speakers, take a look to Infinity, Focal, Hertz, Alpine, ect.

How about in another language? On a serious note I have ordered my Eclipse for both the front and the back...I can't wait. I won't have them on an amp at first...that will be in a couple months, but from hearing the ones I am getting in both Circuit City and then in a buddies grand Prix they are a huge difference....you would hope so since the 6.5s are running around 120 and then 6x9s are running at 1 1/2.

Factory Speaker replacement
First off, thanks for the GREAT installation tips! I have 4 Polk speakers just waiting to get installed, 2x 6.5 and 2 x 6x9 db series, and a 10" MTX sub. I also have an Infinity amp that I am planning on hooking up, 6 channel 4 x 52 and 2 x 107 watt (bridged to a single channel). I just need to find a place to put it! The trunk is the only solution (it is BIG!) but I still want to be able to get to my spare.. The stock speakers aren't too bad, but I like to listen to my tunes rather loud, and the stock setup just doesn't cut it. It sounds ok at lower to moderate levels, but washes out ALL of the bass and mids at a decent volume. In my experience with car audio, replacing factory speakers ALWAYS sounds better. (provided you give them enough juice)

I'm partial to Infinity myself but for the price, Pioneers sound rather good, in my opinion, definately better than the stock units. Never heard of Focal or Hertz... I'm sure Blaupunkts and Polks would probably be a nice improvement without totally breaking the bank as well, I'm going to reserve my comments on Alpine.

I h have one concern..do you feel confident with the wood spacers? since the speakers are actually drilled onto the wood, and the wood is fixed to the chasis...if you put some punch to the speakers...would it cause tension that makes the wood to whip or even break ( sorry for my english!! ) With this said, are there any aftermarke metal spacers that we may get...? |
