Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 кві 2023
- Here is a detailed install of the OEM Toyota Subwoofer on 2022 and up Subaru BRZ's and Toyota GR86's. This specific kit is for the Limited BRZ or Premium GR86. This subwoofer is paired with the OEM Plus Audio brand speakers. I am not affiliated with either of these brands at the time of posting this video. Hope you enjoyed watching!

Thanks for this video, I installed mine in about 2- 2.5 hours by myself. fortunately it was really simple watching your video beforehand. It is similar to my scion tc, so pulling it apart was effortless to me. felt exact same. thanks for your video! appreciate it. and oh my goodness, my premium + subwoofer=sounds excellent once I adjusted the settings properly. very happy with this sound quality and the exhaust noise turned off. complete enjoyment.
Thanks this was super informative and was the first mod I’d get once I get my 86. (Next to spare wheels and winter tires)
Wow; I figured they would have a plug and play for an OEM part. Well done.
Just bought a 2024 gr86 and bought the sub as part of the purchase. Dropped it off at the dealer to get installed and they called saying they need to bring in specialists because they’ve never installed one before LOL.
New car = scared of damage but I’m glad they aren’t just winging it. This video helps me understand that they are doing; thank you!
Did you order the subwoofer with the car or separately?
@@sxtsxt6714separately. I got the premium trim but the subwoofer wasn’t installed. I noticed it in the part options during my research phase though and I like my sound.
During purchase I asked if I could get it purchased/installed and they had to look it up because they had never got it requested. It was apart of the oem part list though and they allowed me to add it into my finance.
Nice thanks buddy!!!
Great video! But can I option this sub at time of purchase so it comes installed from factory?? 😅
Great tutorial! I'm looking forward to following it. Only one confusing part- if you can help me understand because I don't have the kit in front of me. What is the wire for at 16:36 that you plug into the blue connector? You didn't show the other end of that (the side that goes through the grommet facing the battery) or explain what it connects to or where it comes from.
Ahh was waiting for this!
Thoughts on the resonator delete? Louder?
@@MrSpamfriedrice like an exhaust resonator delete? Or you mean the intake chambers?
@@JohnHubz intake
@@MrSpamfriedrice yea definitely sounds good, almost makes a turbo noise haha
Just installed this kit in my 2022 GR86 base. Holy shit what a difference. A little bit of EQ later and it sounded very balanced to me. I know you said you'd recommend the OEM+ door speaker upgrade first, but I would disagree if you have the base model. $650 for the parts seems like an expensive system, but it is absolutely perfect and easy to install. Probably took me 3 hours and I took my time. Someone who knew what they were doing would probably be able to bang this out in a couple hours no problem. Hands down worth the money. I used your video and the instructions you have in your description and I cannot thank you enough.
Also, you do not need to drill the rear hole out for the rear sub bracket. No idea why they required it other than the clip not "locking" in place. I almost slapped a rivet nut in it and called it a day. Could probably throw a rivet nut in the forward bracket too. I bought the same tool from HF and it came with a ton of rivet nuts.
I weighed this vs the OEM+ kit with 8" sub and I can't justify that price for such a small "sub". I emailed them and they assured that I would be surprised at how well it would do, and I resisted responding with, I'm sure I will be surprised at the lack of performance for that price. I will give OEM+ credit on the size of the box and how little space it takes up, but an 8" sub is a waste of time in my opinion. 10" subs are my absolute favorite, but I listen to a lot of metal and I really like the punch of them.
If you do this, take a good look at the huge open space behind the quarter panel. You could EASILY fit larger speakers in there. Two 6x9's is what I will be doing if I ever get around to building a bracket for it and upgrading my system.
Everything in this install is easy. Take your time and do not skip the step of putting tape on your HVAC controls, steering wheel, cruise lever, and wiper control. If you hate your shift knob, skip the towel. You will thank the instructions and John Hubz.
Appreciate the kind words and feedback! I’m glad it worked out well for you!
Ordered the same subwoofer last week! Just waiting for it to get delivered. Great video! Subbed. 👍🏼👍🏼
Appreciate it! Hope this helps with the install!
where did u order?
@@badcam7663 I just ordered online from my local dealership! Do you need the part number?
@@badcam7663 check McGeorge Toyota online
@@JohnHubz awesome thanks
Great job
Thanks man!
The best part of Toyotas is the popout parts i mean is way practical than other cars
thanks. considering the car is assembled by Subaru in a Subaru plant, it's no surprise all parts say Subaru. just be glad the twins exist for a 2nd gen. I'd love to see a 3rd gen personally. curious if this could work w/my 19 wrx (base) 🤔? so, how fast can you go w/Top Speed oil? never heard of it. probably the best thing to do to cars (Subarus/Toyotas/Hondas) is sound deaden and block the gaping access holes in the doors.
I got this as an option on my gr86, didn’t really want it. But the car had everything else I wanted on it. It’s cool but will probably sell it
Lmk if you’re selling
💯
I just put a JBL sub in mine, sounds great and I got it for $250. premium mt
do you have a part number for this please?
Is it safe to say you can buy either subaru/toyota parts for either the brz/gr86 and it will fit just fine? I don't see a 10" subwoofer for a BRZ. Would this toyota sub fit?
Yeah they’re both the same other than the badges on the exterior of the car
I followed your exact instructions but then the sub wouldnt turn on? The ONLY thing i did differently was the red cable to the battery- instead of connecting it to the top screw like in ur vid (because the circular hole for the red cable was too small that it doesnt fit in - i connected it to the screw that clamps the positive terminal to the battery…but even then shouldnt that power up the amp?
As long as it is touching the positive battery terminal at some point, it should have power. You can test it with a cheap test light from harbor freight.
Did you make sure the fuse is in line for the cable? If so, is the fuse blown?
Are all the connections good on the back of the subwoofer? Are the connections on the radio good? Is the connection near the passenger footwell good?
I would check all of those things. Also, is it grounded?
Nice job. I also enjoyed your OEM+ video, and am considering both upgrades. Your carbon fiber trim looks good too. Did you wrap the factory trim, or are those replacement trim pieces?
Thank you, I’m glad! They are overlay pieces from twins carbon, so they don’t replace but they stick on over the oem parts. Real Carbon though
I believe on the back of the Toyota badge, it will have the subaru logo.
At the beginning of the video your friend acknowledges that “resonator delete” y’all both did.. what exactly is that that you guys did and what did it improve?
So I don’t have a resonator delete, but he does. Deleting the resonator makes the exhaust louder and more raspy. There really isn’t a performance gain per say. It’s better to invest in a full Catback exhaust like I have (from AWE)
Waiting for JL to make one
Nice video- what cellphone mount is that?
It’s a MagSafe mount on Etsy. Should pop up with a quick search. I wanna say CntrlAltPrint is the seller
I picked my 23 brz limited up in November of 23 with 10miles on it and I just hit 17,100 3:48
Hey, where do you order this? I can't find this on their website?
at 1:46 look at the part number and either call your local dealer or google search it. There are a few dealers in the south and west coast that sell them online. Your local dealer will most likely be more expensive. MSRP should be around $650 but local dealers quoted me $800ish
So if we don't have the Limited BRZ or Premium GR86 we can just go eat worms?
This subwoofer should work with any trim level
Clip=clip
Clip=connector
Clip=tab
Clip=magazine
i have the 2023 86 premium AT,, does it fit this subwoofer?
