How come you didn’t just get the same JBL speakers meant for the JBL upgrade on the 2020 Corolla XSE?
Never thought of that
@@Phileepoh yeah if you get the entire set of 9 then it’s a much better value in the end. It’s 4 speakers for each door, the 2 dashboard tweeters, the 2 A-pillar tweeters, and the subwoofer under the drivers seat. I’ll probably get it soon
@@masonvevo. siiiiick. Hope it works out brotha, I no longer have my corolla, but good luck 🤙🏽
Thank you i will add this in my camry too
Do you think the stock headunit power is sufficient for aftermarket speakers (upgrading all of them)?
And are there stocks amps or just the headunit pushing all speakers?
(JBL GX Series in doors and dash;
6.5" x 4
3.5" x 2
1" x 2
Thanks
Hey brotha! So the head unit is not all that good (non-JBL) the amplifier I believe is built in to the head unit I THINK not 100% on that but double check. I highly recommend getting an amplifier for your speakers to get the most and best quality, upgrading your speakers alone with a stock head unit will make it seem like you bought bad speakers. Having a good amplifier (I like Alpine or JBL personally) will bring those aftermarket speakers ALIVE🤘🏽🤘🏽
The Corolla front tweeters are wires in parallel with the front door speakers. Did you notice any issues with your stereo (e.g., not being able to handle the two speakers in parallel)?
Can anybody tell me the exact size (diameter) of the tweeters?
I think it was like 3/4” if not 1”
Does the car produce an error code when simply disconnecting the speakers?
@@zellerfusch no not that i recall
@@Phileepoh Thanks man.
Dear novice audio people,
The factory system sounds clean and inoffensive. There is little distortion and seems to dynamically adjust as you turn the volume up. Never sounds like shit even near its max volume. I am going to sound deaden the doors to save all the waisted bass and response quality of the door speakers. You can feel the outer sheet metal vibrating when the base hits and also hear it bleed outside of the car. This means there is poor insulation and waisting energy that could be conserved to drastically increase sound quality inside the car. Slapping on a new set of speakers in an enclosure that has poor insulation and vibration dampening properties will lend minimal gains. Buy quality sound deadening before you buy new sets.
If you want sub bass, figure how how to incorporate a subwoofer. Door speakers are not designed to produce sub woofer sound. I personally don’t need subwoofer response in my car as it just costs a lot to implement correctly and given space restrictions in this car it’s unrealistic.
you damn right any 3.5 aftermarket speaker are garbage usless with out a good amp. and by the way the factory speaker are pioneer factory so they are crispy and hold the bass just right out of the factory hu... but the true is you dont get any good sound in the rear speaker and thats someting in the hu
@@Barberillurus I think the front end of the sound system sounds great, but like you said the rear is horrible. I wouldn't have noticed but I had music on while I was getting something out of the back seat, and then messed with the fade and the rear speakers are damn near non existent... Have you upgraded them? I'm looking at a pair of Kicker 46CSC674 but I don't know how much better they will sound hooked up to the stock head unit without adding an amp.
@@mattmurray8144 omg yes the rear sound it is terrible i upgrade the speaker whith the orion neo 6.5 shallow because i will be using a amplifier for the full system also i put peerless 1" tweter y the back doors...and let me tell you something i belive the hu had a limitation for the back door because even i try a pioneer coaxil speaker and the sound still not there ... in my opionion the best bet is add a 5 channel amp thats what i will be doing this Sunday ... good luck 💪✌️
@@Barberillurus The way the front door and dash speakers are wired it look like the headunit sees lower impedence from them compare to rear door speakers, also it look like pioneer design it that way to create front sound stage from get go instead letting the user fade to the front to create front sound stage
Noticed the cover only has a small hole to actually let sound escape and it’s based around the tweeter size. Any noticeable muffling affect from having the cover on vs off?
Hey brotha! And no i notice no muffling affect at all. Sound is nice and crisp
Thanks I want to change that on my corolla .
Sucks how speakers sound loud only in front back door speakers sound weak and no speakers in the rear not even holes for speakers wtf ... I added an amp and a 15 kicker sounds great 👍 just had to splice into the wires on the door
Hey bro, i just put in 2 kicker tweeters on my camry 2022, when i hit about vol 55 the audio starts to sound distorted, do you think its the base blockers i need? If so when i go into the radio shop what do i ask for that way i dont sound like a complete amateur and get taken advantage of
I also have a 2020 Corolla. Do you also have a tweeter on the left side and a component speaker (speaker + tweeter) on the right side? If so, did you also upgrade the right side?
Yes both sides are identical and i did do both sides
I believe, left tweeter, right tweeter and midbase, is in Europe. I also have it like this.
Same to me -> tweeter on the left and component on the right. Car bought in Europe
good video 👍 i use peerless 1" neodimum tweeter for the dash corner and holden with hot glue they fit perfect and also they hold more then 60w rms i recommended to any one to try it ill be using them like for more then 5 years in my cars ... they are also perfect for good amplifiers no for pro amplifier just saying but really great video 💪
Thank you
Did you purchase the peerless tweeter from parts express? Did you use anything else to connect it?
yes i use the oem conector take it out from the oem speaker
Have any plans to do the rear speakers?
I did the rear speakers but never recorded it :l
@@Phileepoh bummer! It's pretty involved isn't it?
Did your highs on pronunciation of s sounds and cymbal sounds sound super lisby or raspy on the stock tweeters? Mine is like only a week old and I can't tell if it's a blown speaker or it just sounds like ass
Nahh man it’s the stock system, it is no great at all.
Damn. I guess I just need to upgrade then! Thanks for the vid. It was helpful!
On my Corolla 2021 the dash hole housing the speaker is around 30mm deep so that this speaker would touch the air condition plastic pipes underneath. How did you fit yours ?
Not exactly sure, it just fit right in the slot for mine 😅
@@Phileepoh
And the speaker goes as deep as necessary to fit ? Thanks.
I see it has 3 wires coming up through the dash. The speaker has 2 spots to be wired to. What's the 3rd wire for and which are positive/ negative??
Hey brotha, so it’s actually 4 wires. That harness has both positives and negatives for the dash and front door speaker of the driver side. You’ll notice when you unplug that harness from the factory speaker and then try playing music, the corresponding front door speaker turns off too. Make sense? Idk why toyota has it set up that way
That’s why when I show the male side of the Red Wolf adapter (side that connects to the dash harness), you’ll notice two red(pos) and two blacks(neg) give you a total of 4 wires
So many extra steps.
It is what it is
hey i have a question. i have a 2020 corolla with the upgraded factory JBL. i want to upgrade the dash speakers but wanted to ask first before popping off stuff, the dash tweeters are not JBL on the JBL package correct? because i think the only JBL speakers are the pillar tweeters and the rear subwoofer. i’d like to start off with switching the dash tweeters (if theyre not already JBL which i don’t think they are), and then hopefully upgrade the doors
Not 100% sure, i’d imagine they would be apart of the JBL upgrade though
@darkrulier soon after i posted my initial comment, i checked that in fact they are. thank you 😊
Okay so I bought some component speakers but I'm lost..... how do I utilize the crossover from these components? I'm replacing the dash tweeter and the door speakers. Problem is when I unplug the dash speakers I then have no signal to door speaker. I'm just trying to figure out how to wire the dash speakers to make the door speaker normal
Aww man, okay. So yes the dash speakers also have the door speakers connected to that harness, why I don’t know. But you have two speaker positives and negatives which you could in theory tap into or use. The hardest thing is figuring out how to wire the crossover to the door speaker. Unfortunately I do not have an answer BUT you can look into the Corolla Forum page OR if you have facebook, follow the 12th Gen Corolla Crew 2020+ page and I know there is at least one person who has an answer for you. Sorry I couldn’t help on that one man :/
@@Phileepoh thanks for the follow up! Yeah I'm def unsure what to do. I could possibly just fuse specific wires and bypass dash tweeter?
@@Phileepoh update..... when you plug the harness that you linked under video into the clip, boooooom you get full signal to the doors! Thanks!
Do you think the stock setup is sending all frequencies (including bass) to the stock tweeter? Seems to me there would be a crossover or blocker already in place.
It’s quite possible, not entirely sure
Also - the front dash covers (that hold the tweeters) can be replaced with JBL system dash covers - that have an opening that close to (or is) the same as the driver you've installed. I've bought a set for my Corolla.
Do you have a link for these? Can't seem to find them online.
Did installing aftermarket front tweeter speakers make any issues for the door speakers?
Thanks for the help, all I needed was the harness🙏🏼
You’re welcome!
Awesome video man! I just ordered everything you got here. The speakers aren't bad besides those tweets. I don't know who the hell let those go from the factory sounding like that. They literally sound blown from the factory.
Nice brother! Hope installation goes well! And you are right lol
Hey man, did you try it without that bass deleting thing first? I listen to deathmetal mostly and occasional dubstep. lol. Does it cancel the main cone and just use the tweeter or does it use both and just cancel the bass? Thanks
@@richardatchley5948 i did use it without it first for like 2 weeks. HATED it. Metal, EDM, Indie, Rap it all sounded shitty and distorted. Made a HUGE difference after installing bass blocker. And it only diminishes the lower mids on the 3.5 speaker itself NOT the door speakers (door speakers and tweeters share the same harness)
@@Phileepoh awesome man! I appreciate it. My stuff should be in by Friday and I can't wait. I got a 21 sedan, white nightshade edition. Doing the entire system, already got wheels, 2" lowering springs and a bunch of other stuff on the way. Thanks for you're help
@@richardatchley5948 i gotchu man nice! If you have facebook follow this page. Many helpful people
