I did this to my new 2022 rav4 with the standard 6 speakers and was happy I did. Replaced the front dash and door speakers with JBL Club 3020 and JBL Club 6520. Used wiring harnesses from amazon. Did not use an amp and found the sound was much better. Lots of people suggest an amp, and I did not want to get that deep into it. I am glad to say it sounds great without and gives me all the audio I need. Both JBL boxes state "high sensitivity for great sound even with factory stereo power" and it is true. I was not a huge fan of taking apart the door or drilling the rivets (high risk of scratching and something going wrong) so if you are not super handy, you should have it done professionally. The dash speakers are super easy tho.
So all you did was change the speakers and it sounds good? I have a 2019 no special head unit or anything and the audio sucks. I also dont want to get that deep into it though.
I have a 22 Tundra and added a Beat Sonic mini amp. It has OEM plugs and tucks in behind the stock stereo. Best part is you don’t have run any power supply to the battery. I was skeptical but it sounds so much better, and super easy install.
The 2022 RAV4 Adventure with JBL system uses the Metra 72-8109 wire harness for the 3.5 speaker in the dash, not the one in the description or video. Luckily, I bought 3 sets just in case. I will be returning the red wolf harnesses.
Exactly what I was looking for. Not only does it show the process of installation, it helps debunk the information that the Crutchfield web site spits out regarding the installation of this specific Alpine speaker and the 5th gen Rav4. The web site says that the Alpine R-S65C.2 will NOT fit in the Rav4 door. lol
Nice install thanks.. But I highly recommend using any kind of a rubber seal on ALL plastic speaker adapter.. front and back for any rattling. Upon vibrations...
The "crossover" is more like a bass blocker, no? I don't see the outputs for the woofer on it? If one was going to wire a traditional crossover with outputs to TW and WF is its clear which of the wires in the harness are in vs out to the door?
The installation can be done without an amplifier, that is, only the 4 speakers + tweeters, it would work well, I do not need volume power only quality
@@NudlemanJones finally just change the front speakers for some jbl components and leave the rear ones, you have to be careful that everything must be 4 ohms which is what the radio supports. It works better but I think it would have been better with some Morel components. On the windshield panel are the component tweeters.
Couple of questions: 1. Thoughts on component speaker system vs 6.5" pair for front, and 3.5" pair for dash? 2. Do I need an amp or changes for the head unit for this, or could I just do what you did in your video and have a clear improvement? Less work, and cheaper. 3. Suggestions on a good system? Are the alpine a good choice? Thoughts on Focal ASE 165 or performance 165ASbcompared to that? Thank you!!
I used an 11/64. But for me, the cap of the rivet started to spin after a little drilling, so the whole rivet spun. I had to wedge a screwdriver behind the cap to drill further and pry it off, or pry it up enough to get a needle nose pliers in there to hold it in place so I could finish drilling it out.
Thanks Dan plan on replacing door speakers soon, the dash speakers swap was smooth/easy and fidelity sound reproduction was improved a bit. Thanks for sharing the video it is very helpful on how and what to expect, makes it much more a doable project improvement.@@danlynch8569
@@lespaulguitarmn1oh, it wasn’t my video. I had the same question, so I just eyeballed the drill bit size in the video, and it worked out. The first one took me around 2 hours, with me making dumb mistakes lol! (I haven’t done this kind of work in years). But the next three combined took around an hour.
The rivets when drilled to take off the factory speaker. Isn’t the residue falling off into the inner door cavity ?? Which would result into rattling noise ?
Thanks for the vid! Question. I have a 2022 Tundra and can’t seem to find the appropriate speaker mounting bracket and wiring harnesses. The websites have not been updated for this newest generation Tundra. Can you pls advise?
Only video I see, showing tweeters at the front everybody else is putting jbl3020 club or Infinity or Skar etc...... speakers at the front. Thus wondering if one can put 3.5 speakers with front speakers or additionally rear door speakers ( 6 total ). In other words, can we avoid an amp if not adding any subwoofers. A video would be great.
So is the factory system mids in the doors and tweeter up top in the dash? Cause I was thinking it was a 6 speaker system and I replaced the top dash speakers with 3.5 infinity speakers. Would it be better to run separates instead?
Is this a similar harness and procedure of installing components for the 2015 Toyota Venza? I thought all along you’d install crossover in the door and run a long wire to the dash for the tweeters.
These speakers didn’t have a shared standalone crossover the mid bass and tweeter. The mid bass in the door had a passive crossover built on the basket, and the tweeter had an inline crossover. This setup makes for a much easier install when the tweeter isn’t located in the door.
@@ProvoBeastAudio i see. I have a non JBL. I am installing Morel Tempo Ultra components in the front. Looks like I’m just going to run a wire up from the door to the dash.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I have a 2019 Kia Sorento ex v6 awd. I installed new Harmon kardon speakers hooked up to factory head unit but still could use more power as base is ok. How can I use factory head unit but amplify speakers? Or is it better to just hook up a sub?
They will sound better yes with overall quality of the speaker, even if powered with the factory radio. Although, you will get a much better response from those speakers with an amplifier.
There will be a big quality quality difference installing a nice component set vs two separate coaxials. A bit more effort, but has a tremendous advantage over the easier route.
Hey there I have a problem with my speaker on the passenger side of the Toyota hybrid RAV4 2019 my dashboard on the passenger side right hand on top speaker does not work passenger speaker on the very bottom right hand side speaker does not work either I tested the speaker Could it be that the wire has problems or I could just be that if one speaker goes out the other one doesn’t work or do I have to replace both speakers

Stock wiring system max RMS? Can it handle 4x75w?
@@nevabeast8221 For toyota, 100w RMS is generally the max for the factory copper 18 gauge wiring. So yes, you will be fine for 75w RMS x 4.

I would think some loctite and or a locknut is a must. Have to believe they will loosen up over time from the vibration.

Is it possible to replace the door speaker with a 6x9?
The fitment would be trash cuz the holes are for a round speaker, a 6.5 inch is more efficient then a 6x9 as well.
This is very cool, but I will never do this.
And why not just replace the dash speakers with 3.5? Seems like you went more complicated route.
There will be a big quality quality difference installing a nice component set vs two separate coaxials. A bit more effort, but has a tremendous advantage over the easier route.
Just cut it out saves u the drilling
