This is an experiment I performed on Whistler today to prove that yes man is faster than machine. Take a look and see for yourself...
Orileys sells it for under $18.00 in the USA
So I’ve confirmed that the door panel will not go back on flush after the speaker upgrade on older models before the 2016 refresh. I have a 2013 and l needed to remove the plastic ring that goes around the speaker in the door panel. I was able to cut it out with some tin snips. The speakers sound great in the front. I did plug one into the rear and it didn’t sound good so l won’t upgrade the rear speakers. Thanks for the awesome video and speaker recommendation. It was very helpful.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this video!! Super helpful. I'm based in the UK and want to attempt a similar upgrade on my Model S. I just had a couple of questions: 1) The Kappa 62IX is now discontinued. What model would be a suitable replacement (or would any 160mm coaxial component speaker do the job?) 2) Some people have suggested that you need crossovers or some kind of sound processor to get maximum / most efficient performance. Is this correct? 3) Would you recommend replacing all 4 speakers and is it the same for front and rear. Thanks in advance for any advice / responses.
Looks like the speakers are still available on amazon, I would suggest replacing all 4 speakers in the doors for better sound and bass, I would also recommend adding acoustic insulation in the doors. The rear door plastic mounts need to be cut to fit the speakers.
You're amazing. Thanks for the video!
How have these headlights held up so far? Mine look exactly like yours did before you replaced them. I refuse to pay Tesla $3K/headlight to address this. What a rip off that you can't repair parts of the headlight such as the DRLs
The headlights are working great! One thing I missed was that I ordered 2 slightly different versions, one has the electronic adjustment. You can't really tell though, these ones were much cheaper than Tesla stock
@andrerink6888 Thanks for the prompt response! How long have you had them for now?
I have had them for 6 months now
@@andrerink6888 Thanks! I searched the site that you shared a link to and it's not clear what the difference is between the two that they have for sale right now. Do you mind telling me exactly what I should be looking for since you've gone through this and know this much better than I do? TIA!
Thanks for the video - please skip the first 52 seconds next time - not interesting at all
Easy video. Thank you
I repalced the 4 door speakers with Infinity Kappa 62ix. Strange thing is my 2 front new speakers in the doors now only produce bass, no voice or vocal or mids at all. I forgot to check my 2 front door factory speaker sound before I replaced. Mine is 2020 LR Plus. Is that because there are 5 speakers on dash and pillars thats why no need for mid and high from two front speakers? They have crossed over mid and high from the 2 front speakers door speakers?
I haven't heard of that one yet, check your speaker polarity, not sure if the newer vehicles have a low pass filter on the amplified output..
@@andrerink6888 i see if it has one then how can I remove?
Perhaps you should look into your eq settings@QuangLe-tj4ix
Hi could you let me know what speaker cables did you use? I used interconnected (from an RCA pair I had) but I get no sound no matter how I switch + to - back and forth… the “sound” is extremely muted and absolutely no sound from the tweeters, the bass driver moving but essentially no music I can hear from the speaker… 😢
You will need to solder 18 awg 2 conductor cable to the connector on the backbox. See the video at 12:40. Make sure positive and negative are the correct way.
What are the stock door speakers ? Were they midrange or midbass or coaxial? Am I correct in saying you replaced midrange with coax ? Any compromise on low end ?
Yes, I replaced the cheap stock $2 mid-range speakers for the coaxial speakers. The coxial speakers are full-range.
Did you also replace the amplifier?
I didn't replace the amp
Any suggestions as of what Amp to replace with? 🤝
What trim did you take out. I don't see that part at all
At 3:02 in the video, you will see plastic trim along the circumference of the inside of the door panel speaker grill. You will need to remove it.
Thanks
hi would you say these Infinity Happy 62ix mid base speakers would fit my model S 2020 LR? or any better speakers you would recommend as direct replacement? thanks
It should because tge doors haven't change from my 2016 refresh to the 2020. Best speakers I have found so far.
@@andrerink6888 thanks so much Andre! may I ask you one more question... any direct replacement amp you would recommend or Light Harmonic is the only option of Amp? also what about tweeters since I would like to replace them as well but I don know how to remove the pillars... 😞
@QuangLe-tj4ix haven't looked into replacing tweeters or amps (very involved) there are sub woofer options online
@@andrerink6888 I see, what sub would you recommend? Also for the Infinity Kappa 62ix, is there a newer version? Also I would want to confirm you for all 4 doors I need to order 2 items (1 item is for one pair), no need to order different size since 2 exact pairs would be good for all 4 doors correct? TYIA 🙏
@@andrerink6888 do you see more sound from the built-in tweeters of the Infinity Kappa 62ix? if so do you see that those built-in tweeters can replace the sound from the Tesla tweeters built into the pillars? thanks
OK so I think when we test systems , we should play music we probably dont listen to, how can you judge lows with all those electric guitars …maybe use the music you like for the mids and highs , then use some hip hop to truly test the low end..because a rock based kick drum IS NOT a valid low end testing sound
I used a spectrum analyzer, watch the end
@@andrerink6888 Spectrum analyzer isnt going to take the place of a real world Bass test with Music. Not trying to crap on your video as a whole just saying , I would have played Music with different frequency content. Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz, Metal , etc
Thx for pointing that out, it was a great price of $200, and the difference is nominal
I noticed that your RH headlight is different from your LH. Did you notice that also? Your RH is the "UP - LEVEL" and the LH is the "Base" model.
Hi, i have same vehicle in BC too🙂 Got code (Battery fuse requires replacement soon OK to drive - Schedule service) Wandering if you know anything abut it? Thanks.
I just had my fuse replaced under warranty. My battery is still under 8 yrs. You can only get the Tesla service centre to do it. They have a lifetime fuse now. Create a service ticket in the app.
Thx! Yes, it felt like I was driving a new car!
Hi. Nice video! Could you feel any change in the ride quality with the new coil springs?
Did you install it on the Tesla premium/fidelity system or the base sound system? Thank you
I installed it with the base sound system
Dear Andrew, thank You so much for the great inspiration to make the right move and change the speakers, i love the sound of the Kappa speakers. Be healthy!
Did you install the 160mm speakers or 200mm speakers on the front? The link you gave is for 160mm
That is not a coolant pump. Its a 3 way valve, its very common that they start leaking.
If your topping up fluid there more tham likely reason for this. Its sealed system. Mostly likely you coukd have leek. If you do top it up make sure to purge the system from Service menu in touch screem im sercice mode .this will take about 20 mins to complete. Then recheck your levels.
Yes my pump leaked so I bought one on ebay for $100 and replaced it myself. It's been running perfectly for a year now.
@@andrerink6888I'll see how it goes after topping mine up. Tesla wants eye watering money for labour.
@AdrianMcDaid yes, that's why I cecame a tesla mechanic lol, I have saved myself $15k over the years..
Coukd have leek
Did you use new spacers or modified the existing ones?
I had to cut the plastic door speaker trim with a dremel so that the speakers would fit in the rear doors, I mentioned it in the video
Do you have premium sound system package in tesla or standard one?
I just had the standard package, that's why I upgraded the speakers
Where did you want to go buy coolant fluid at
You can buy it at any BMW dealer
Great video! Did you also unplug the factory installed tweeters?
No I left them, tweeters are directional so you need them everywhere. Adjust the eq and you're good to go, frequency response is very flat with is what u want.

please, one question how you blend the air that was introduced, when you replaced the pump?
This is not "replacement". This is just "refill"
Saved me a ton ! Ty ! Did it myself .
How much ohm carry the original speakers?
The original speakers are 2 Ohms
where did you get the extra door clips?
They can be purchased from Amazon or eBay, here's a link: www.ebay.ca/itm/334783057208?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=v07p3tkBR5G&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=JOozo-CpREu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
You can skip the dremel and just use a large pair of snips to trim off all of the necessary bits of the housings. The plastic is disturbingly brittle and is easily trimmed. Thanks for the video!
Hi Andre. I just bought the speakers you installed and was told by an installer that these shouldn't be used because the tweeter won't work and that I should get coax instead. Do you have any issues with the sound on these and is the tweeter not being utilized? Thanks for the awesome video!
The infinity speakers are coaxial and the tweeter works fine.
Thank you for the guide of both the front and back doors. Just did both today with these speakers on my 2015 P85DL. The fronts required no modifications. For others, the backs I used a cut out tool to remove the speaker channels and everything went well. Also added some KILMAT 80 mil sound deadener to all doors while at it since the dang road noise is so loud on the highway! Took about 5 hours total with soldering and cutting due to the sound deadener and 40* high Colorado weather. Speakers sound better than stock. Clearer bass but still not a subwoofer. That will be the next addition!
hi would you say these Infinity Happy 62ix mid base speakers would fit my model S 2020 LR? or any better speakers you would recommend as direct replacement?
do you see more sound from the built-in tweeters of the Infinity Kappa 62ix? if so do you see that those built-in tweeters can replace the sound from the Tesla tweeters built into the pillars? thanks
Just to clarify. You DID hear more bass sound when doing the back speakers? On my 2014 Model S, I faded to the back speakers only and the EQ was turned all the way up on the bass bands with very little bass coming out of the two rear door speakers. The speakers hardly even move when bass is hitting (even with DJ Magic Mike music playing). I am wondering if the MCU filters bass to those two speakers. This would alter my plan on changing those two speakers if they are being filtered by the MCU. Can you please advise? Thank you for your videos! They are a great help to my potential upcoming project of changing the 4 door speakers!
Yes it added more bass, I was skeptical also because of past reviews but since I had to replace my window switch, i thought I would change the rear speakers. I was pleasantly surprised, it sounds great! The EQ adjusts the front snd rears.
@@andrerink6888 thank you for your reply!
I put some Kenwoods that I got from Bestbuy for the front and back door speakers, only thing I did different was, I used my dremmel to put cuts around the lip of where the old speaker sat in and then used a plier to break each section of the tabs off, made a flat surface for the speaker to be flush, still had to solder the wires on, old speakers were blown out when I got the car, so this was helpful
Just finished doing this....replaced all 4 door speakers with these same speakers. FYI...the OP has a 2016 refresh and there is 1 difference between his and the pre-refresh cars.....you're going to have to trim the inside of ALL 4 door panels. I struggled with the 1st door for over 2 hours before I realized my 2014 wasn't like his 2016. On the front 2 doors the inner plastic circle (there's 2 of them on each front door) must be trimmed back to almost flush all the way around to get the door card back on. The 2 back doors must be trimmed as he explains in his other video for the rear installation. He said 1/4 inch all the way around that plastic circle must be trimmed.....that wasn't enough on my 2014. I had to cut about an inch off all the way around. Sound is MUCH cleaner for sure. Well worth the $200 I paid for all 4 speakers. Please note...if your expecting more volume don't. Your not going to get more volume without adding power, ie. An additional amplifier. But if your after cleaner sound this is going to get you there!
For future DIY'ers: In my 2015 I did not have to do any trimming on the door panel side; they popped right back on no problem. Do make sure to trim the speaker mount as there were 3 tabs on the top that needed to come off in order for the speaker to fit snugly into the mount
About to tackle all 4 door speakers today. It would have been helpful if you'd have shown exactly what it was that was cut from the door panel. A before of the panel (like you showed) and an after showing exactly what you used the dremel to cut. I'll figure it out in a few hours I guess! Lol
It's not easy to cut a straight circular line with a dremel, I would start by taping a line and then using a cutting disc - good luck!
I just replaced the blown drivers door speaker. Everything went smoothly EXCEPT for the fact that I can't get the door card back on!!! It's fitting everywhere except for around the speaker???? I had to walk away for a minute. The front speakers were direct replacement correct? No trimming of the door card around the speaker to get it to fit right? It's as if it about 1/4 inch off!!!
@@ferrynpalmer3875 I only hade to trim the rears, mine is a 2016 refresh model, I'm unsure if they changed this from older models
@@andrerink6888 that explains it!!! Mine is a 2014 and I had to trim ALL 4 panels. I spent 2 hours on the front drivers side trying to force it before I realized it must be trimmed. Sounds MUCH cleaner and bit more punchy. Well worth the $200 I spent! Thanks for the videos AND the comments!
@@ferrynpalmer3875 2 pairs costs $225 total now 🙂
I've got a blown speaker in the front drivers door of my 2014 model S (base stereo) and the rear door speaker on the same side is just dead. Replacing all 4 door speakers today. Found this video a couple of weeks ago and ordered these same speakers. 1st time soldering anything......wish me luck! Lol
How did you do?
@kylerkleindienst3567 ....it wasn't too bad honestly! I had never used a soldering iron before and that was the most difficult part for me. The surgery on the baffles that holds the speakers caused some cursing too. The 1st front door was trial and error and I needed to trim a little more then the video showed. It took 3 attempts of trim, fit speaker, refit door panel to notice it needed to be trimmed further. But it sounds MUCH better and went about 2 hours over the time I had alloted for it. Worth the effort for sure!
@@ferrynpalmer3875 I will be giving it a shot next week! How did you find out the negative and positive side of the wires? Thank you for the response and help!
@kylerkleindienst3567 ....I tested it with an old junky speaker I had before soldering it up. Once you get one of them, you'll know easily moving forward.
@@ferrynpalmer3875 appreciate you!
I seen in other videos that replacing the back speakers don’t make to much of a difference. The sound is more in the front. What your thinking since you did them both?
@@andrerink6888 you don't know what you talking about dude. Rear speaker no bass because it's equalize by factory tesla amps to hit high note.. unlike the front is mid-bass.. you still missing the front mid in-dash speakers dude. Still sound garbage imo until rear and front speakers insync
How and where did you install the color changing lights? Brand? Retailer? Thx
I installed them in all the foot wells, the LED lights stick under the front steering column and glove box, had to use clips under the rear seats, here is the product link: Car LED Strip Light,Uniwit 4 Pieces DC 12V Multicolor Car Interior Music Light LED Underdash Lighting Kit with Sound Active Function and Wireless Remote Control Including Car Charger a.co/d/h1WUtL9
Such a good video. Those new speakers sound better recorded on your phone than my stock speakers sound in person.
Why didn't you just insulate the doors?
The backboxes are self contained and all the sound comes through the grill, filling the door with insulation probably wouldn't make a difference.
Does it fit a tesla model s 2014 with base audio system and stock amplifier? And is the bass better when upgrading to this kappa set? And also one more question is it possible to use sliders of the EQ on the screen after installing this?
Fits 2012-2020, bass is much better, yes use the eq settings to increase the base and treble
@@andrerink6888 Thanks. one more question how can i know which is the positive and the negative for the connections? because i just received the speakers and want to connect them. i dont have a measurement tool.
