FINALLY... a good video. every other video cut out too many parts in between which was the stuff I needed!!! thank you very much for this video
Thanks for the video. I just replaced my speakers today but I used the factory frame to hold the speaker and soldered the old cables to my new speaker in order to keep original connector. All I had to do was cut the wires going to the speaker and then hitting the old speaker with mallet on the magnet. Now it sounds better but looks stock.
Alfredo Cervantes this afternoon I did same thing. smooth install.
I did the same thing. Took out one frame only to find out the remaining hole was too large for my speakers (Cerwin Vega), so I cut out the old speaker and screwed the new one into the frame with self tapping screws. For the second one I left the frame in, cutting out the speaker in place.
I dont normally comment, but great video. Watched it one time and knocked out the install (head unit, two front door speakers) in about 2.5 hours. Thanks!!
Super cool. Thanks!
@@EdwardInTX one recommendation...use the Metta speaker connectors for this job. hooked right into the factory bracket without having to tap the wires.
What an excellent demonstration! Thank you so much followed everything step by step and got it done.
Great video! Getting ready to do this in my new car soon!
Very helpful video; thanks very much for taking the time to make and post this.
Great uncut video. Best way to learn! Maybe next time you can add the tools & such in the description, it'd help some!
like your video it help out a lot I have the same make and model I'm Goin to replace my factor speakers, head lights, and tail lights this weekend hope it Goin smoothly
Does it matter which wires you splice together?
Can you please tell me the color of positive wire? is the blue or pink?
I ripped out the old cone and coil and cut away the plastic and just set the new speaker in..I didn't have an adapter plate and it works
Good to know. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man, now I'm ready to disassemble mine.
I don't know which wire is positive and which wire is negative. One is /pink and the other is a purple which is the positive wire ?
Nice job, what model are those speakers a where did you buy them from
why did you use vice grips to crimp the wires when you just had wire crimper/splicers in your hands?
thank for your work and time man
What if I need a higher gauge and can’t use the stock speaker wire on the harness? Then what would the next cleanest method be? My speakers are gonna be 90 watts sustained at most.
Great Video thanks for the guidance.
It looks like you don't have any tweeters installed from the beginning. Is that usual? I just had a look at my car (2005 Corolla E12) and I have tweeters installed. As far as I know, no previous owners have done any modifications.
Planning to buy a DLS RMC6.2 kit and also replace the head unit.
Anyways, thanks a lot for the guide on how to remove the panels. I really appreciate it!
That may be an option, mine is a basic model.
how did you know negative and + of the car cables
That’s my question I stalled mines today but now I’m thinking if I did it right, I’m not sure 🤔
@@andresjc502 the speaker will work fine even if the cables arent the right way around . You can usually hear a sound quality difference if you swap the cables around. Whichever orientation has more bass and is clearer is the right way round
Kadith Collins Thanks I have figured it out but thanks
Which wire (pink or blue) is positive and which is negative?
follow the wires from the plug to the speaker, the speaker leads are marked for polarity.
Thank You Great video!
Very useful video. Are you running these speakers of 60W rms (as i noticed) w/o an amplifier? thanks.
My head unit does 52W x 4. Definitely not hitting fully 60W without the amp but it sounds good enough. Maybe they'll sound even better with an amp.
U means real watts or peak watts???
he means peak 52w
Thanks to showing 👍
Sir, did you install or attach the clear plastic that's holding the wires on this door? If so what did you use, because it's nice, it looks neat
You said you didn't replace the tweeters, which is fine. But can you tell me which after market tweeters I can buy to swap? I know the size is 1.25 inch but should I just get a 1 inch or 1.5.
It looks like you can get a 1 inch. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which tweeters you should buy to swap. Check this out: www.toyotanation.com/forum/326-10th-gen-corolla-2nd-gen-matrix-interior-audio-forum/358558-door-tweeter-install-09-corolla-le-6-speaker-option.html
What’s those blue connectors called ? Anyone ?
Spade connectors
Is it make any difference?
couldn't you just cut strip the negative and positive wire connected to the door and connect it with the new speakers wires?
I just blew a speaker in my 04 and the other one is on its way out. Do you know exactly what kind of speaker you used to replace yours? What wattage were they?
Polk DB651, 120 Watts per pair
Pink wire is positive ?
hey you could still roll the window?
my yaris must have trouble
were these the s slim version?
my door has a tweeter in that little black panel installed last whats the size of it will i have to drill holes for it too if replaced?
1 inch diameter, and 1/2 inch depth for the standard tweeter. Usually, I've seen people buy the Corolla tweeter cover on eBay. Check out these links:

'Please' would be nice 🙂
@@metalor696 don’t have this car no more so fudge a please
what are those things called that you are putting behind the speaker to screw into? (around 7 minutes) thanks.
+Soren Duran Search Amazon for "Corolla Speaker Mount"
Remove for handle and window levers. ✔️
Remove two screws. ✔️
Remove door panel. ✔️
Drill out rivets 😳😳😳😳
Just leave it the way it is. ✔️
Drilling was easy, it’s the wiring that’s hard.
what are the blue clips called you used to connect the two new wires
what kind of connecter (model name) you have in 11:32 -34.
Came in different colors (for different sizes), I used the blue one, follow this link:

just wondering, where did you buy those blue wire connector?

What about the tweeters near to the mirrors? Are they need or is it sufficient the speakers that has integrated tweeters ?
Not needed, but they would make the sound a bit more "full"
What size was the speakers for the front ?
6.5
@@EdwardInTX I have a 2009 would it still fit ?
@@Josefrom954 it should
@@EdwardInTX thanks 💯
Handy for my car too I imagine.
Correct. You can do it!
whats the name/size/ place of that adapter
Awesome tutorial. What size drill bit, I'll be doing the same thing this week
Start with a 1/4"
I've got manual windows... How in the hell do i remove my door panel
look up how to remove manual window crank
DNLYUSEmeBIADE I need to do mine two
there is a horseshoe clip on the backside by the door
I'm only a few years to late but I use under wear band lol
What size is the original speaker's?
6.5 front doors. 6x9 next to rear glass area
Been trying to find a pair of sail panels for my 2005 Corolla door so I could mount a tweeter. Would anyone know where these are sold besides the dealership?
Local junk yard
thank good video that help me a lot

Hi Edward, do you know if I can replace my rear spearkers from 6ohm to 4ohm on a Corolla?, thanks for your inputs and nice video! :D
Mauricio Gloria Sorry, I don't know.
Should be fine
Great video! So did you not install a new tweeter where the factory one was?
Thanks! No, we didn't install a tweeter but it can be done.
Where did you get that adaptor? And don't you have to make sure about the depth?
The adaptor came with the speakers.
What size is the speaker
6.5
Is there a brand name of the adapter? Or a specific kind? I'm having a hard time finding a one that fits locally

What's the point? How much better will the sound be now?
Can't give you a definite percentage on how much better, but it's noticeable with the right speakers. No more muddy bass and weak treble.
***** Seems like worth doing then. I hate muddy bass.
Also quick note: replacing the head unit matters too--the OEM one doesn't go far in making the speakers sound better.
***** I've been thinking of doing that in my 02. So to fill the space left by removing the stock unit you would need a spacer of some sort? It's a lot bigger than a CD Radio unit. And also you would lose the MPG/Average speed info which is displayed on the screen of the old unit?
Interesting to see you have the MPG/Avg speed built into your radio (just looked, USA Corollas don't have that). Yes, you would need the aftermarket radio bezel, which you can have single din with a little compartment opening on top (like mine) or a double din that takes the whole space.
Thank you.
thank you!
why drill down rivets. Why not cut out the factory speakers and then install using the factory mounts. saves time and makes for cleaner install.
That would be way messier. Separating the "mount" from the "speaker" would be much harder than drilling the rivets. You'd have to dremel through the plastic the whole circumference.

What speaker size is the 01 model
6.5"
Do you have a 01 model ?
06.
Would you know what size a 01 Toyota Hilux has ?
crutchfield should be your best friend
Self tapping screws would of work better
Took the door off, can't put it back on
Jalen Burmeister damn, did you get it back on?
no, he is driving without a door
There is always a use for hammer ,drill and a bunch of screws lol
I think you should have taken the original wire from speaker and soldered it onto new speaker keeping the factory connector instead of using that crappy splice connector.
Jason Gib It's one option but then soldering is an art and it's very easy to do a bad solder joint and end up with a glitchy connection.
what didnt u just unscrew the screws when replacing the speaker instead of drilling the screw
+Goran Svraka they're riveted in not screwed. You have to drill the rivets out.
Do a 01 model please
GregNoToast Go buy him an 01 model then lol
Thanks toyota.. just couldn't make it easy
30 minutes each side?!
Took me like maybe 10...

Cool story bro
what size is the rear doors??
Front 6.5, none on rear doors, and the ones mounted near the rear window are 6x9
I have 5 door hatchback ,
Oh, unfortunately we do not have those here. Some things I would look at--If you shine a flashlight at the speaker grille in the door, does it appear circular or oval shape? You could probably measure that hole as well.
My Japanese RunX import doesn't have any speakers on the back door as well.
Most people say the rear one are 6"
