#Altima #Speakers
you are so amazing. done both front speakers in literally 30 minutes
Wow you did an amazing job, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video that was so helpful 😊
Great video. When i replaced my door speakers 5yrs ago i added 1/4 foam tape to the adaptor to minimize any rattles or buzzing.
I’m actually watching this vid to get a refresher course because i am planning on replacing my door speakers again and adding new 6x9’s.
Saved for reference.
Very nice and that's a good idea
Preciate this refused to pay a audio company to do this luv doing diy little projects like this anyway 👍🏾
Probably one of the best instructional videos I've watched! Thank you for showing me exactly what I needed to see ad well as explaining it as you go. Great work!!!
Thank you!!!
Great video but no need to take the whole door off, I was able to do my door speakers by just placing the door piece to the side. This video will help me do the trunk tho!🔥💯
Great video will be modding my 2015 Altima often and I know just where to come 💯
Thank you very much 😊
how did it turn out?
Very good video! I'm not sure if this is what you do for a living, but that's how you make an instructional video. Well done, sir!
Thank you very much 😊
I will say it makes a world of difference to put sound deadening material in and behind the plastic and on the metal of the car i did that for just my trunk and rear deck tonight because i’m getting new front speakers and it already sounds so much better. Before there was so much rattle in the back i thought my 6x9 speakers were blown but it was just vibration caused by not enough insulation.
Very good information. Thank you for sharing.
@@mcgurrentertainment thanks for the informative video, helped a lot
We’re did you get the insulation
Cant tell you how much this video helped me, thank you.
You are very welcome, glad it helped.
I had some 6x5s and 6x9 Kicker speakers and subs installed by a professional in my 2016 Altima SR 4 yrs ago. Stock speakers were trash. Total night and day sound wise. The installer did a great job, and I tipped him well. Wiring wasn't sloppy, no scratches from tools, and the amp was mounted behind the back passenger seat on the drivers side, that had easy access to folding the seat down. I have a 2024 Sentra SR Premium with 8 Bose speakers , and somewhat nervous about getting an amp and sub installed with factory speakers due to so many electronics in the car.
Ok
Could get a powered subwoofer but have someone install it for you
i just want to let you know that i really appreciate the video and that it actually help ease my stress i tell you lol… but ignore the rant i just to say thank you for sharing your knowledge
I'm very glad the video helped!!! Thank you for the support. 😃
Great video, no time wasted.
Thank you!!!
Great video !!! You got the talent of teaching.
Thank you very much!!!!
Fantastic video. Explained exactly what needs to be done. Followed your instructions and replaced the speakers on my Altima with no issues. However, I did notice that the factory speakers fit flush in the circular grill/hole in the plastic door panel but the new 6.5" speakers were slightly larger and the grill kind of sits on top of it. The interior door panel seemed to attach to the door without any noticeable gaps though. Is this normal?
Thank you very much!!! It's possible, depending on the size (height) of the new speakers (different manufacturers have different specs). As long as everything fits with no issues, let it ride.
Thank you I been looking for this 😄
I hope it helps 😊
Very helpful video. Crutchfield says for 2013 to 2018 Altima, base system, I need to use 2 ohm speakers for front and back. They say if I use 4-ohm, my car audio power output will be cut in half. Does that sound right? Thanks!
For factory speakers, 2 ohms sounds right. Since this Altima has an aftermarket radio, it's 4 ohms.
@@mcgurrentertainment Thank you very much!
love this video straight to the point showing instruction and neatness
Thank you
No I’m good. Just take my money and do it for me.
Ok...fine...you win. I'll grab a wrench. 😁
I just said the same thing while watching another video lol
Same here. I'll throw in a good tip
Blew the front driver's side speaker but after this first 5 minutes of the video I guess I'll just be driving around with headphones on
Exactly 😂
Omg that was a excellent video I cannot thank you enough that really helped tremendously. Atleast now I know I thank you 100000 times.
You are very welcome. How do your new speakers sound?
@@mcgurrentertainment I didn't installed them yet I am planning on to I was just trying to figure how
@@mcgurrentertainment one question do you have any idea if I could put insulation b4 the speakers or during?
Good question. I believe you can add insulation anytime you want, as long as it fits.
@mcgurrentertainment I also seen another video someone was insulating the front door and rear doors and he said the rear doors don't have speakers have you ever herd of this. I thought my back doors have speakers. I have the exact car younwas working on and it sound like there's speakers there as far as I think there is .??
The CrossFix of speaker replacements ❤
Have you been drinking?
I will do the same soon thanks for the tutorial.
Solid video. Thank you.
this video is perfect, thanks so much
Thank you!!
Being that this is my favorite video for this project not to mention I love how you explain detail after detail may I ask do do you have a video showing how to install a amplifier and a under seat subwoofer.? And I finally received my system in the mail a little pricy but I'm sure it's well worth it. So when you have time may I ask if you have a video that's what I have ordered the entire package
I'm glad this video helped. Sadly, I dont have a video at this time for installing a subwoofer and amp in an altima. You gave me something to think about
@@mcgurrentertainment awesome I'll give you something else to think about you are the inspiration why I brought my system because the videos have great detail explaining. I just have to decide what goes 1st amp speakers etc. And yes I brought after market speakers
@@mcgurrentertainment I brought a under the seat subwoofer also so I just was wondering if you know on how to install it also so basically I brought the entire system to install 😀
That sounds bad ass. I didn't know that was available.
Update: I just let it up. Looks cool and easy to install. I might consider getting one.
Let me know how yours turns out.
@@mcgurrentertainment yes cruchfield sells them
Ah yeah this video is great, unfortunately I got no tool or the confidence for this but great video
Thank you. But if i can do it, anyone can
Great video
Awsome video!
Thank you
Super informative, your explanation is on point... where do I get these tools and are you planning to install an amp & subwoofer in an Altima. need help installing amp and sub
Thank you very much. A majority of the tools are linked in the description, except the wrench set. And we are looking into an Amp/Subwoofer combo for the Altima. It's on the upgrade list. 😎
Thank you!
How to replace speakers: remove everything 😂😂😂
Sadly, that's the procedure for most cars nowadays. Can't do an oil change without removing half the front end.
Will you do a video for the dash speakers as well? Also great content, plan on doing my speakers and head unit in the next 2 weeks.
Thank you very much. Unfortunately, we decided not to change out the dash speakers/tweeters. It requires a fair amount of modification to fit an aftermarket replacement. That juice may not be worth the squeeze. Good question.
Thank you!! 💯 can you make a video on how to install speakers in the back doors as well? Since none are there yet there's space for it.
You are very welcome. I'll have to look into that; good idea.
@@mcgurrentertainment Awesome!! Please do, alot of us Altima drivers would be grateful 💯
@@mcgurrentertainmentI've since took out the factory speakers because driver side had blown out, and replaced with some pioneers front and rear because of this video THANK YOU!!. I do have a question if you don't mind me asking. My question is: Do you happen to know where the factory amp is located in this vehicle?
That awesome!!! Kudos!!! The Bose Amplifier (if equipped) is located in the trunk between the two rear speakers.
@@mcgurrentertainment Thanks I appreciate it!! It's a non-Bose system, I'm sorry I forgot mention that part.
Another way to disconnect the panel from the frame is you can just take out the pins and the clip connection from door hanlde rather than unscrewing them. It's quicker imo
Very nice
Great Video neatly done!
Thank you very much
Great video. By any chance do you know where is the power mirror fuse located at? 2016 Altima SR
Thank you. The fuse for the side mirrors should be 5A[25], if I recall.
i wanna add bose to my nissan sentra 2015 .:0 is it the same?? do u know how to fix a handle my nissan sentra 2015 door works find but the other handle the plastic come off its kinda annoying i dont know how to glue it back or get a new one. also not sure if anyone has mention but Your speaking style is so clear and concise-it makes everything easy to learn. I love how thorough you are with all the angles in the video even tho way u mention how to pull and in what direction cus i know i would break shit lol.
With bose, you may have an extra connection. Saldy, I haven't changed a handle on a Sentra.
Thanks great video
Thank you for the support!!!!
Super awesome 👌🏾
Thank you
those speakers used in the front.. would those be a good fit for the back also? i’m looking at buying the same ones
Not really
How many speakers does the altima 2015 have? 6 in total? Are there any on the dash or below?
Typically, 6. Two in the dash (near the windshield), two in the front doors, and two in the rear (behind the rear seat).
Do you have a video of how you installed that radio?
ua-cam.com/video/k101nAVEypk/v-deo.html
😁
Just did mine this weekend. I have a 2017. What wattage does the stock stereo push out?
Not much. Maybe 10 watts. I don't recall off the top of my head.
How much is it to get something like this done with everything ?
Good question. Sadly, I don't have a clue. It's been years since I've had a vehicle in for stereo work, and most of the shops in my area are long gone. I'd imagine it would be expensive due to inflation alone.
You forgot to mention something important. If you use the oem rear speaker harness you WILL need an adapter.
Pretty important information.
We mentioned it at 13:13
Are you using the factory radio/head unit?
The speakers were installed after an aftermarket radio was installed. This was the radio: ua-cam.com/video/k101nAVEypk/v-deo.html
Is it the same exact process for the passenger side door panel removal?
Yes
I just did the job and wow it took a long time and the trim pieces wouldn’t go in place 😫. I did everything front a rear doors and I also changed the hinges. Omg never doing it again unless I get paid 😓
How's it sound?
muhtawa eazim wamufidi. laqad aistafadt min fath lawhat aleadaadat alkhalfiati, walakin kayf yumkinuni aistibdal alsamaaeat al'amamiat fi lawhat aleadaadati?
سؤال جيد. للأسف، لست متأكدا. قد تحتاج إلى الاتصال بالبائع.
Do I disconnect the car battery before any of this
You can if you like, but it's not required.
Ehat happend with the others speakers in the pasagers seats in the back on the door does it have speakers?
Correct. This model does not have rear door speakers. I'm having a hard time finding one that does. Any chance yours has them?
What’s the compound on the screws for?
Good question. It's applied to the threads of a fastener to prevent it from loosening over time due to vibration or parts shifting.
@@mcgurrentertainment thank you !!
Anytime 😊
Is this all of the speakers in the car? Or are there some on the dash?
There are some in the dash
My speakers were goin out when I got the car having that static sound I was driving and the sound only completely went out the radio was still goin even connect to all my Bluetooths is this just the speakers that need to be replaced or a fuse since I have no sound
It's hard to say without troubleshooting. If all the speakers go out at once, it sounds like it could be the radio.
@@mcgurrentertainment thank youu
Which thread locking compound did you use? Easy grip or medium grip?
Threadlocker Blue - amzn.to/3xzPwkk
Threadlocker Blue - amzn.to/3xzPwkk
@mcgurrentertainment thanks! I like your vids are very helpful!
Would the rear deck removal work on a 2017 Maxima?
That's a good question. I'm not 100% sure (don't quote me), I think it's similar but not exactly the same. Hopefully, someone with a Maxima can confirm in the comments.
What is the thread compound for? Do you recommend?
It's applied to the threads of a fastener to prevent it from loosening over time due to vibration or parts shifting.
Hey, do you have experience installing a front facing camera? I have a 14" Altima SL
Sadly, I do not.
If I just replace the front speakers do I need an amplifier
No
How about the tweeters? And corner speakers?
Unfortunately, we decided not to change out the dash speakers/tweeters. It requires a fair amount of modification to fit an aftermarket replacement. That juice may not be worth the squeeze. Good question.
I bought pioneer 6 1/2 TS-601M for my Nissan Altima but the speakers came with an adapter but the end is just wire, I'm confused
It connects to the speakers but not the car harness
You can either order the Altima harness or splice the one you have to the factory connection.
Man yall altima kids got it so easy 😂
Right....
?🤣 It was easier to replace door speakers in an old civic bro what you talkin about
what size speaker can i put for the front, back door n trunk
Front Door: 6.5"
Back Door: Unknown
Trunk: 6x9"
What year is this altima i want to do this to my 2010 2.5 s Any recommendations on speakers?
2015. Nothing special, just buy decent speakers (some of the cheap ones have poor quality).
@@mcgurrentertainment got me some jbl clubs. so much better than my blownout stock speakers
Very nice
Can you use the old brackets for door speakers
Most likely need some modification to make it work.
What size speaker did you end up using?
Front: 6.5"
Rear: 6"x9"
Thanks for the reply. Were the front door speakers a slim design? Im thinking of getting prv speakers@@mcgurrentertainment
where are you located I need new speakers and harness
Lol... I wish I owned a shop.
Anybody can tell me what speakers are perfect ft or what brand please thank you
Crutchfield customer service is also a good source for speaker information. They are great at recommending the right products based on your budget
No knowledge on speakers, what size are the rear window speakers?
amzn.to/3WDEGlZ
could this tutorial also work on a 2006 nissan altima
I'm sure it similar, but its probably not exactly the same.
Any idea about how to do it in 2023 altima sv?
Not off the top of my head. Not sure what nissan changed between the years
For my Nissan 2011 Altima there isn’t any bolt for that holster part 26?
The 2011 Altima may differ from the 2015 Altima
So wait speakers come with a harness connect?
No, you need to order them. Links in the description.
@@mcgurrentertainment how do you know which speakers/tweeters are a good fit for the vehicle I have? Do I go by the ohms or size? Both? Or just get anything?
6.5in in the front. 6x9 in the rear. The resistance is based on your stereo. The factory one uses 2 ohm speakers (if I recall), aftermarket radios typically use 4 ohm speakers. The brand is total up to you.
@@mcgurrentertainment So it's best to upgrade the stereo since most speakers I find will be 4ohms anyway right?
All depends on budget
The three screws holding in the door lock and handle cables did not need to be removed. The cable ends can be detached and reattached easily. Much less work than unscrewing the whole assembly.
Very nice
Hello my rear speakers aren’t connected to a wiring harness do you know which one fix the factory speaker
That's odd. Are there any disconnected wires hanging in the trunk?
Can you tell me the size of the speakers you used?
6.5 & 6x9. Link in the description
What size bolts are there to hold down the speaker my car doesn't have any in so i need to know what size
Sadly, I don't know those off the top of my head. May need to search the Nissan forums.
What size are the speakers?
6.5 & 6x9. Link in the description
What size speakers
6.5" and 6x9"
Links in the description
I should have watched the whole video first. You should have rerouted the factory speaker harness inside the door. The way you have the harness running alongside metal edges is a risk for a dead short. Not a good idea.
Ok
You forgot to say what's your name , this is the most important.
Na, these videos are for the people.
@@mcgurrentertainment I know, I'm joking about those idiots who start recording by saying their names, as if it would help us, the viewers,
Luckily I’ll only have to do the front doors. The back doesn’t look complicated but I’m not putting myself through that😂
Gotcha
For the rear speakers you could just use some self tappers and make new holes instead of cutting the speaker housing.
It's likely the new holes would overlap with some of the OEM holes. Hints why we didn't need to trim much off the speakers.
did you really torque spec the seat cuishon. haha
🤏
Where do I buy the speakers from?
Link in the description
Guess it was too much for Nissan to make easy access soeaker panels instead of having to take half the car apart
Luckily, it's not a job that needs to be done regularly.
If anyone new I watching this, buy some cheap vibration absorbing material and put under those 6x9’s they will rattle like crazy if you give them the slightest bass lol, ask me how I know haha.
How do you know?
Why not my Sentra got other problems anyway I’ll take some new speakers 😂
Ok
🤔..., I'M AN INSTALLER, & THE WAY YOU TRIMMED THOSE REAR 6X9 HOLES & MOUNTED THEM REALLY WAS GHETTO INSTALLED, LOOKED AS THOUGH THE SCREW WAS BARELY LOCKING THE SPEAKER DOWN, OVER THE COURSE OF TIME THOSE WILL COME UNDONE!!! THOSE SPEAKERS MUST NOT BE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT CAR!!!
Thank you, Installer. You don't have to yell.
Lmaoo I dont have a problem with the door panels it’s the 6 by 9s I’m scared off but I blew one off my factory so I gotta get it done
Very nice
All you have to do is pop out the cables for the door handle, not the whole assembly.
Ok
Yo i can’t take off these damn cords
Which cords are you referring to?
@@mcgurrentertainment for the window buttons on the drivers side, but I got it.
Gotcha. Yea, they can be stick sometimes.
That's stupid the way Nissan made the layout how to remove it
The ease of changing parts out seems to take the back burner with some car designers.
Pyle... that was a down grade for speakers.. 😢
You don't have to buy Pyle. Just showing the steps on how to replace them.
No step 1 is disconnect the battery 😂🤦🏾♀️
Sure, why not 😉
pyle thats junk
Thank you
Nice putting in some pyle of sh*t speakers
You're welcome
Did you do the back doors and what size speaker
There are no speakers in the rear doors of this Altima.
