Why You Need To CHANGE YOUR FACTORY CAR SPEAKERS IMMEDIATELY!!

- In this video I show why I think you should change your factory car speakers immediately! If you're like me, an audiophile of sorts, then you've probably noticed how dreadful your car, truck or SUV's factory speakers are. The process to change them out is relatively similar for most vehicles and can sometimes even be easy. In this video I work with my 2005 GMC Envoy (same as Trailblazer) and swap out the front component factory speakers for a brand new Infinity Reference REF-6522EX set that sound incredible.

i upgraded my factory stereo for an aftermarket one and that immediately improved my audio quality from my stock speakers
Did you use amps or just changed the speakers? I've spoken with crutchfield agent and she said that it wouldn't make much of a difference if you won't use amps
@@wildeyewill aftermarket stereos put out about double the watts the factory will. So it'll be louder and have more breathing room for dynamics
Itll also probably blow your OEM speakers if they look like they have been made from paper ask me how I know 😂😭
That was really cool. I love your enthusiasm in every video!
You would surprise to see how much of a difference that foam around the speaker makes.
Infinity may have fallen out in the home speaker world, but they are still some of the best for car audio. Thanks for the post. The only thing I would have done differently is to replace/upgrade the foam barrier around the driver. It's inexpensive and a very significant improvement.
Hey Jim, nice to see Farris in your video. It's been awhile since we've seen the family.
Awesome video bro.. very detailed. Great quality. Very simply beat video I've ever seen to how to remove and reinstall
Thanks for making this video, it made installing new speakers in my '02 trailblazer a breeze! :D
My fanthers MB was upgraded to the 5000€ Bang & Olufsen system, absolutely worth it. His other car, a 2019 jeep wrangler, came as standard a Alpine one which is also quite good
Some of the best speakers ever have used pressed paper cones.
Ive done my front speakers not to do my back ones. Im useing the tempo ultra's from morel. They are a phenomenal sounding speaker
2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 with a JVC touch screen DVD stereo and rocking with the BOSE system. Absolutely sounds amazing.
Have a 2004 Denali, probably the same setup. Great sound!
@@4673962 probably. Still rocking 4 years later
I put Infinity Reference speakers in my '05 Crown Vic Police Interceptor along with a new JVC head unit. Sound quality is beyond awesome.
I have read they have little to no bass. Is that accurate?
Thanks for the vid. I have the brother to your GMC, the chevy trailblazer. Now that i jave 205k easy trouble free miles, it looks like it wants to go forever. So i guess its worth putting theses speakers in. Thanks agian.
I found some Kickers worth $80 for 5 bucks each at the junkyard they had already took a amp and sub that was in the car so i just took the front speakers they sound pretty good
3 out of 4 of my moms car speakers are blown and she still blastin music like mad amd it sounds like a dieing cat
do not replace them !
you will understand why i mentioned that later on.
@@djohnson3678 What lol?
[ exhales ] . . . . . because if he has them replaced , then everyone will hear that crap [ of gross music ] , and alot of us would rather hear the birds chirp.
better for her to get tired of all the distortion, and go for quietness.
well, at least that is the hope for the plan . . . . >.>
@@djohnson3678 Lol... alright Mr. Namaste, why are you watching a video about replacing speakers if you don't like music..
Lmao made mi day
I remember back in the day all you had to do to change a car speaker was pry the cover off and remove 4 screws. It took 5 minutes.
steve gallagher I wish they made them like that still. I have to remove the back seats and a lot of other panels to replace the speakers in my car. They should at least allow you to unbolt the rear speakers from the trunk since they’re exposed anyway.
My Merc has the Mach audio setup in it, not bad for factory. Still needs mids upgraded, but the door tweeters really bring out the clarity. Course, Bass Over Everything for me. If I can still see straight while driving, it's just not loud enough for me.
MAC
I wouldn't call it a woofer it's more of a cheap Mid-range speaker.
It is a woofer. It plays mid bass as well, just not that well below 60hz especially of it's a 5.25
Ken Richner it’s called coaxial
it is a woofer. it is not a "sub-woofer". the large cone is typically called a woofer. midrange refers to the type of speaker and the frequencies it is designed to play, but a midrange still uses a woofer to make the sound.
I changed the speakers in our Envoy and it was 100% better.
Did mine yesterday, So much better.
I like this guy's videos. Well spoken & professional
Old School well thank you!
true, but overweening here and there
but he uses a metal trim tool on painted surfaces. the least he could do is add electrical tape to the bottom surface or use plastic trim tools.
You could have left the tweeter in place. There were wires going in(Which you cut from original midbass) which you could just solder to new speaker like you did now. No need of adapters even.
Yep, and pretty dumb drilling a bigger hole to feed connectors through and them cutting them off to just feed wires which were already there.....
@@einfelder8262 I thought the same thing. You can get the little connectors for speaker terminals cheap. Just crimp it on the factory wire harness and plug it back. No need for a adapter then. Oh well can't save them all.
Why bother leaving the old one in place? It wasn’t hurting anyone
@@tipman2000 It would have sabotaged the infinity speakers and tweeted about it.
@@einfelder8262 I agree should've left the home alone defeating the purpose of the drill bit
Lol dude, i literally JUST installed all 4 in my envoy. And holy crap you're right, its CRAZY better. Awesome video man!!
Using the factory wireing... You're not getting full range signal. If you have coaxial speakers, the tweeter isn't doing anything.
I got Bose system on GMC Acadia... I think I'm just gonna change the stereo.... The sound is good
WOW, all these tech geniuses in here with the problem of why you removed the factory tweeter & opened up the hole more! Geesh man its a clean DIY and he just saved me from buying new adapters for the front! I swear man these part time brain surgeons I tell ya🤣 Excellent video my brudda so keep'em coming 💯👍🏾
immediate 10mm sound proofing everywhere possible will improve the sound drasticly, well actually it stops exterior noise getting in the cabin. Then you can change the speakers out.
Great video and I love your accent you remind me of Christian Bale in American psycho 😀
I would have zip tied the speaker wire to the speaker bracket. I can see that becoming an annoying noise in the door in the future.
Haha, I actually did. Just didn't film that part. I guess I should have...
Surprisingly my base model 2017 Chevy Malibu has an excellent sound system....all it really needs is a subwoofer and it would be a great system. The mid-range doors go down to around 100hz or so, and the rear speakers go down to 40hz or so.....not bad for a base model car.
From the mid 2000's on most cars come with decent factory speakers and radios.
I like the ss in the intro ... Sounds exactly like mine 😂
Good video
I got a 2004 Pontiac sunfire and my stock speakers don't sound too bad, I do have an aftermarket head unit though
I have put in aftermarket speakers in before and the stock speakers sounded better then the aftermarket ones
Probably because you weren't giving the speaker enough power, it's silly to replace stock speakers with aftermarket without adding at least a headunit but preferably a separate amplifier. Or you could've bought some shit speakers like Boss Audio.
nice choice of speakers...
Hello, i want to ask you what is the allowable mounting depth of peugeot 307 speakers because i want to change the factory speakers, and one more question those with what mounting depth?
I miss you guys together on UA-cam
She'll be in it more often...
GM has always had questionable audio components ! Except for the very high end vehicles !
the Bose? I have in my tahoe is great but I think the headunit has a screen issue sometimes it does nothing and all i get is sound..
it has a sub-woofer option as well aka DTS & dolby digital.
the radio signal is shit though I can't even get stations i used to get back in my old car
My impala had great speakers the 6x9 could put out great bass I even fooled my friends into thinking I had a subwoofer box
my tahoe has the hybrid option so I get great MPG 20/23 mpg 6.0L vvt engine
GM has always has questionable components.
There, fixed it for ya! 😃
Opel Astra G has pretty decent stock speakers.
Some of the Monsoon stuff is ok-ish though. Doesn't look fancy, but plenty loud and clear enough for a stock setup. However some of the speakers use dual coils that are trickier to find drop-in replacements for. (Basically leaving you to re-do the whole system including the head unit and amp if you decide to go for something else.)
In my case I stuck with the stock style system, but using a set of revised replacement speakers. The early stock speakers were prone to separation where the cones attached to the basket. That was the only problem and time I had significant distortion on it. No problems since changing it though.
@@pauljs75 Yep, I had to basically gut and replace my entire "JBL Synthesis" system in my Toyota.
damn Lotta wires for just 3 buttons
Mines still working bose speakers factory has amazing bass still bumping after 3 years of hardcore bass
cos it's all about the bass, never mind the other frequencies lol
What are the dimensions and specs of those you found? I need to fix mine from a trailblazer. Only one sounds
can I replace coaxial speaker with the component speaker? Will the tweeter with coaxial speaker still function?
That Makita you're using...is it just a drill or some sort of bit driver?
Only reason I'm replacing my speakers is because the ones on the right stopped working except for their tweeters. I grew up with cars that only had AM radios, so for me factory speakers in modern vehicles sound just fine when they work. That being said, not wanting to go through having to deal with a new set of fctory speakers quitting for the same reason the old ones did I'll use aftermarket speakers, but I'm going with Rockford Fosgate 5.25 inch speakers because I can get all 4 plus all the hardware needed from Crutchfield for less than $100.00
My 89 grand Marquis had some pretty decent speakers it was the head unit that was the issue however i did end up replacing everything anyways
Hard to believe they put nice speakers in '89 from Ford... But, good to know. Thanks for your comment!!
@@1RoadGarage oh they were by no means great but as far as stock speakers from the 80s they weren't too bad i had a 85 caprice and those speakers were absolute garbage the best stock speakers i had were on a 93 caravan im pretty sure they were infinitys i remember when i scrapped the car i made sure to take the speakers and was surprised that the writing on the magnet was an actual brand
I love the Burmester system in my Mercedes
Wow that was fast finding the 10 mm
Before changing your Speakers you should dam your doors. For example with Alubutyl mats.
Being an open back speaker with no dedicated box, the door is it's box, so:
- removing the tweeter creates a new hole and that is a bad idea;
- as others already said, the foam around the speakers HAD a purpose (manufacturers HATE spending a single cent if not necessary);
- seen as you have no idea what size box the new speaker needs (mentioned in tech spec as "Vas" if I'm not mistaken), sound deadening, as mentioned also by others, should have been installed as it successfully compensates for volume too big or too little (to some extent) and sound deadening is a good idea anyway;
Also, so that you know: thin paper makes the membrane of some of the most exclusive speakers in the world and is sometimes preferred to high tech materials, the fact that is also the choice of cheap speaker manufacturers is just a coincidence.
I have the same vehicle. Biggest problem is that the door panels rattle even for the slightest bass frequencies which is very annoying. Do new speakers stop the door panels from rattling?
It depends. Speaker can cause rattle, or doorpanel
Valtraman3 it’s definitely the door panels in my case. Cheap gm quality from the time
@@321verykind then you need killmat or something like that
My caddy has a Boise system it cranks right from the factory
I used to change speakers install amps and bass boxes
For once I get concert sound without doing anything
Wtf Bose system sounds like ass
A Dremel would have been a better choice to modify the bracket, should have been much cleaner. Would have also been a great time to put sound deadener in the door panel. Cheers.
Been trying to change my speakers on my 04 nissan pathfinder and none of the holes match up to the factory holes ive even bought adaptersvand those dont match either. I dont want to drill in my door I might just glue speakers to the stock bracket lol
Wish I could do this to my envoy I have the Bose system so if I put coaxials in the front doors I won't get any highs
I would want to use that tweeter hole to put a crossover on the tweeter
Do a how too install speakers in 2015 up vehicles
I wanted to hear boom boom how it sounded
What i think is most important is, that if you have bad speakers you always have to put the volume up. If you have a proper speaker and dampening you can drive with less volume which is also better for your ears.
Bose in my opinion is better than the usual ones but at all. Not The best.
I thought my HU was bad because 3 of my 4 speakers stopped working but on occasion they would work for a few seconds. I had some tell me it was the HU but I watched vids like this one and decided to change a speaker to see if the HU was the issue. Much to my surprise, The speakers are the problem. SO, if you have a situation that looks like a HU problem, do yourself a favor and check one speaker first. You may get away with just replacing speakers instead of an expensive HU.
I have the same problem on my 05 Chevy Silverado the speakers are horrible. Speakers behind the seat have static when down low they stink. So what speakers can I buy?
if I was you I would get on crutchfield website, enter in your car information and they will tell you exactly what speakers you need in terms of size and fit and then you can just use that information to go based off of the price you want to pay. And, I hate to say it but definitely check Amazon to see if the speakers are cheaper. sometimes you can find last year's model speakers for literally half price which is exactly what I did.
What size are the front speakers that you replaced I have a saab 97x that is pretty much the same thing you changed
6.5 inch
Maybe I missed something, but why didn't you just leave the little tweeter in there and use the wiring that was there and resolder the wires to the new speaker?
Didn't want to leave the old factory wiring and/or that tweeter.
The new speaker has a tweeter on it. Why have 2 tweeters in one location?
Damn it. Your red and yellow icon looks like bleepinjeep's icon. It's like I just got bait & switched.
I'm sure that was the idea lol
@@Vgp-rp4iu I have to look more close now before I click. I hate clickbait lol
@@TheAmericanUhate lol yep I hate it too. If you look in his channels section he has bleepinjeeps channel and they look almost identical
My car has a premium bose system it's stock it sound good
I would have used the infinity component speakers better. You could have used the woofer with the stock tweeter or done what you did in your 95 Suburban. In essence it was a slight downgrade in spatial music property.
Well he should've still not mounted it in that factory location if he was using components. He should've mounted them in the a-pillar for to bring them up to the height of his ears. Having the tweeter in the door like that is just stupid.
were do i buy replacement speaker housing
I've installed infinity reference 6532 ex and they got no bass but lyrics are clear
One of my rear door speakers stopped working, So I bought a pair of Rockford fosgate and Kicker speakers, The 18 year old paper factory speakers sounded 100x better, What would make that happen?
efficiency of the new speakers. the new speakers may have a lower efficiency rating (< 90) and need an amp to wake them up. the factory speakers were designed to operate on very little power, whereas the kickers might need 25-50 watts to bring them alive.
I remember I installed a pair of Sony speakers in a Ford F-150 the speakers that came out of it were all broken and it looked like they were made out of thin paper
Wouldn’t trade the Bose in my 05 Sierra for anything 🤘🤘
I've got the Bose in my '03 Suburban and LOVE it!
You should listen to a proper stereo system installed sometime and you'll change your mind.
Bose are paper low end garbage .period
Your stero blows. I'm sorry. Oh wait you said Bose. Just messing with you.
no highs no lows must be bose lol
Maybe with older cars butI don't need to change the speakers out in our 2019 rav 4. They sound very good and are the stock speakers.
Sound quality is subjective, with you as the subject, you don't need to change them. From a sound quality stand point, the 2019 rav 4, even with the upgraded stereo from the factory is horrendous. As most people don't understand what anything is supposed to sound like. Not saying your wrong for your needs, just letting you know.
I'll be honest broski there's too much technology crap in new vehicles I'd be scared too attempt to install an aftermarket radio or a aftermarket speaker. Get this emergency flasher button air climate control is right in the radio fuck that broski I use a boombox if I owned 2015 vehicles after the stereo system goes bad
6:52 why not screw manual? o.o for feeling: Hands > Electronic
My Chevy equinox came with pioneer speakers
Wifey is pretty cute dancing around like nobody is watching lol
I’ll keep my THX speakers in my Lincoln
I agree
Should I convert my speakers from 6x8 to 6.5” because there are better options for 6.5” than 6x8 for the same price and well 6x8 ain’t really that common imo.
You'll need a converter kit not sure if they have one yet
that foam around speaker was there for a reason
My guess based on the impressions in the foam and past experiences, it isolated the door panel from the speaker bracket. Now he could get rattle sounds from the door panel hitting the speaker housing. He wouldn't have been able to reuse the old foam as it's one time use sticky foam but you could buy something from local auto or hardware store.
I learned my lesson with my 2001 Chevy Silverado truck I put new foam around the speaker. It's better too stick as close too factory work as you can making the speakers and radio look like they stock. I'll tell you a secret does not matter what kind of door speaker you get they all sound the same best way too get better sound get some 6x9 speaker boxes sit those bad boys under the hack seat now you'll hear acoustic sounds metal doors cannot offer
why is there no apm installation tho?
Why did you buy the wiring adapter just to solder the wires? That made the adapter entirely useless. You could've just cut the factory wires right?
Just got som PR6512is and they fit no cut required.
Using a magnet to take the screw out...
SMH
Just pick it up turn it upside down and shake a little.
allard van der kamp : 😂😱
allard van der kamp to hell w that drilling the hole bigger then cutting off the wires got me more than the magnet lol.
Love the factory BOSE systems on GM's... the speakers are cheap molded plastic ... can't put after markets in unless you are a metal-smith to make your own mounts for after markets...
You can cut the guts out and make a place for speakers
@@jamesf9610 what can you place in a molded 6x9 ? a 5 1/4?
What about impedance? You didn’t cover ohms. Most stock radios are underpowered for after market speakers.
Infinity Reference speakers are 3ohm, so they are perfect for factory systems
I was wondering about that for my own truck. The new pioneer speakers will be 35w rms, and I have a feeling my stock stereo puts out like 5 watts lol. Havent even tested yet.
Also you TOTALLY could've demonstrated the speakers with either a simple hz tone or a royalty free song
you should find the differance between a bolt and a screw !!!
Missing the foam seal on Top and bottom for better seal enclosure better crisp sound ...
More thinking the lack of foam will now allow the door panel to rattle on the speaker frame.
"Some could care less" so that means they do care...
Why you bore the hole larger if you were going to cut the wire ends off.....
I'm not being a deuce but that is idiotic
Mine came with the Bose audio system.
Your wife is the reason I watched the whole video.
I'll bet you go thru a lot of lotion...
@@ToneCabinet lots and lots
Same here brother lmao, first thing I thought was "Damn she's cute".
@@jmmyjimmy106 "SAME HERE BROTHER" You two sound like straight losers! It just shows how nasty and fat your spouse must be because if you were hitting on anything then you wouldn't have time to make loser ass comments!
if you were gonna cut the ends of the wires off then there was no need to bore out the hole.
What about a "DASH" speaker Installation ⁉
i have a 4'' full range sub and a 8'' full range sub
is that good?
Fullrange sub is not a thing, what do you mean exactly?
There blackweb 3ohms and 150 watt and 1000 watt peak
there is literally a youtube channel called no copy right sounds that makes no copy right music
I have Bose Buy other sound equipment I had to make adjustments to make it sound better
You need to cop your self some JL audio c650’s there around 300$ but blow any infinity speaker out the water
3:44 I wouldnt call this separate ^^ They are in the same housing
GM uses the cheapest crap that chinese market can offer... With European car factories is similar.. If you don't have a sign Dynaudio,Bose or Harman Kardon, take that Sh*t right out of your car and buy better speakers... I've been repairing and servicing car audio for the last 15 years and from I can tell, VW and AUDI used to mount PIONEER speakers that were awesome... Nowdays they mount some cheap crap that sounds awful,distortion in sound and bass sounds like a fart... Nice work man ;)
GM Delco radios in the 80's and early 90's would knock your socks off!!! Those were great systems! My 06 Monte Carlo has the bose option and it sounds great! I've had several 05 - 06 GMT 800 trucks with BOSE and they sound great also. My new 2018 Sierra has the BOSE with Navigation and it sounds great; I'm also 45 years old so I don't listen to my music very loud. Looking more for clarity!
The top model of gm motors contain Bose speaker like Tahoe, suburban, Yukon, Escalade E.T.C.
Lol, people commenting here acting like Bose is great. Bose is better than stock sure but for the $2,000 increase in price it's a waste of money considering you can have an entire focal audio system at that point that would really sound amazing.
My HK speakers are 20 years old in my BMW and just now one of my mid ranges in the door is dying they make good speakers and are worlds better than Bose
We have an Envoy with a BOSE "system' upgrade..I just pulled the rear speakers that failed and they are made with cheap-assed paper cones. But they did last from 2004 to about two years ago. It may have been a "BOSE" head unit but it was cheap-ass speakers all the way.
Do you still have your two suburbans?
Yep
I got bose so I'm good
You could have played some uncopyrighted music
