I hate wiring, so I appreciate all the helpful advice. Should save me a lot of head scratching 😅 I want to make a parcel shelf for rear speakers since mine has no soft top roof. Thanks for sharing mate 👍🏽
Think about getting speakers with a pre made pod for a parcel shelf, save a ton of installation grief - like this Pioneer TS-X150 Surface Mount Speakers, 60 W www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0000C6Y38/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_94JCEH2JGTJS7KNQY5R8
Great video. I wanted a good set of speakers that would be better than the 22 year old ones. They sound ok considering the age, but these Pioneers look great and fit behind existing grills keeping car looking original. I would also recommend putting some sound deadening behind the speaker and around this area. Not only does this make audio sound better it makes door sound much nicer when closing.
Hi Andrew. Loving your videos as I am basically following you with all the same jobs to do. My car is a MR-S and does not have tweeters. Do you think the Pioneers would flush mount if I cut a hole in the panel?
So the tweeters come with two different bases. One for flat mounting if you want to cut a big hole in the door card, but also a little pod bracket which is angled so you can just put them on top of your door card without cutting any big holes, and the pods point towards you. You can see the pods in the picture on the speaker packaging
I might try the pods then. So basically just need a screwhole and a small hole for the cable? Also, I see on your stereo install video you mention RCA leads, where have you put your amp?
This is in the rear locker Kenwood KSC-SW11 150W Underseat Active Subwoofer with Passive Radiator www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BO8O9XQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_K9CPA6QB0EEAX9HWTBPX
Difficult to achieve on an MR2. The seats nearly touch the floor pan. The sub that i install in the locker in my other video, is designed for under seats and is at least one inch too thick. I once saw on ebay that a guy made a custom sub box that went under the mr2 steering wheel
Unfortunately not, the seller stopped selling so the link is dead. It was on Amazon and i searched for 16cm toyota speaker adapter, if that yields no results try the same search on ebay.
Bad idea... standart acoustics should not be much inferior in sound quality. In Russia, such a replacement is called "change the awl to soap". To feel the difference from replacing the speakers, you need a front speaker that costs at least $ 150-200 + an amplifier that costs at least $ 150-200. The doors had to be covered with vibration isolation - the effect would be better than replacing the standard acoustics. On my zzw30, the doors are sealed with vibration isolation with a thickness of 4 mm.
Awesome, my right front speaker just blew and was looking for a replacement pair. Good to know about the ring holder! Thanks for the vid ;)
I was doing this two weeks ago and reused the old ring holder as I didn't know aftermarket rings were available. Thanks for the information!
Oh this is wonderful, my identical Pioneers have just been delivered.

Danke, sehr gut
Thanks for the guide. How do the speakers sound compared to the standard ones?
They sound about the same tbh 😂
@@andrewsparey697 Thanks for your honesty 😂.

Have you thought about adding one of those under seat subs?

@@andrewsparey697 oh ok, so whats the sound quality like on that sub combined with those speakers you installed?
@@darylhatherrley5765 for the price point, i am very happy with the quality
Hi where can I buy these speakers mounting adaptors?
Check this out! amzn.eu/d/3cD0c1k
Can you provide the link for the adapter rings?
Unfortunately not, the seller stopped selling so the link is dead. It was on Amazon and i searched for 16cm toyota speaker adapter, if that yields no results try the same search on ebay.
@@andrewsparey697 ok no problem. I found some that look very similar. Thanks for the video! I’m going to complete the upgrade.
@@andrewsparey697 I completed the front speaker and tweeter replacement today. Thanks very much! I wouldn't have been able to do it without your video
