Hi, just got my new speakers for the camry, and then i thought...how do we get to the speakers out and the new ones in. i came up with the idea that weneed to remove the parcel shelf to do so. So does anyone know how to do it

btw, your HU is original or aftermarket? If original, i dont really think u can just connect them like tat. U will need convertor or sth else? and original speakers are 6x9, wat size are u hving now? need spacer?

Just some tips b4 u opening up the whole car and finding more problems...

changing rear speaker, does this mean u hv changed the front before?

i think i m asking too much hay?

[{{HoTtWaXx}}]

thanks for the advice dannywss, my hu is aftermarket and im putting in 6X9's so no spacers needed...hopefully lol

and nah havnt changed front yet, once my money rebuilds itself to a decent lvl :P

[dannywss]

nice to know that u kinda know yr stuff.. but why rear speaker first? why not front first? just suggestion, dont take me too serious thou...

[{{HoTtWaXx}}]

rears first coz otherwise id have to actually work out what size the fronts are :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P plus get better bass for the 6X9s, which is good coz i wont get a sub...for a while, like after maybe at least 1.5 years coz i got the rest of yr12 this yr then (hopefully) got tafe next yr. i might think bout getting a job then :P

[dannywss]

the front is 6x9 as well.

The front on the Gen4s are NOT 6x9s they are 6.5in.

oops, i thought is the 2005 camry sorry

Sorry to tell you this but you'll need spacers. This is because Toyota is renowned for using 3 screws to hold down their speakers whereas all aftermarket speakers have screws on all 4 corners. This means that you will need to make a spacer screwed down using the original 3 screw holes and then screw your speakers in using the 4 standard screws if you know what i mean. There is also the problem with the way the parcel shelf is shaped to fit the 3 screw configuration. So if you were to just try to drill new holes, then there will be gaps everywhere and probably sound worse than stock unfortunately. There is no easy way to do this.

[dannywss]

if u wan to do the lazy way, just put on the speaker, and screw onto where the holes(on speaker) are, dont care bout the 3 original holes. Meaning, make new holes.

Before doing so, to make sure no gaps, easy, put cardboard(thick) in between of speaker and the metal then screw on.

You'll need to find a drill be sharp enough and drill short enough for that to work as you have about 5 cm to work with :P And why not do it right first time so there are no probs later :) Saves the trouble of redoing it again later on :)
