Hey all, Changed my rear speakers today with some better ones, not the best but better than stock, just hooked up to my deck. As you's know i dont take responsibility if you break your trim or window etc.. enjoy :)

First step is to remove your door trim.

So first pop out this little tab at your door handle and unscrew the screw

Then pop up the arm rest first ( no screws holding this down ) Then after your arm rest handle thingi is removed remove window switches, also there is no screws for this, just pops out!

7726_100357963321885_100000430449890_6587_5485736_n.jpg

Then unplug your power window switch!

Then unscrew these two screws!

Now remove your door trim! it will just ripp off, its just clipped in, no more screws !!!

OOOOOK! now to remove the old speaker... Unplug the speaker, and drill out these pop rivets, if you dont have a pop rivet gun to put this back in dont stress i didn't have a pop rivet gun aswell, but i will show you how to put it back in without one :lol:

7726_100357973321884_100000430449890_6590_6852312_n.jpg

Ok now you should have the old speaker out of the door, hopefully lol... Start by cutting the old speaker out

Now somehow what ever tools you are using cut these :) i used my ozito as you can see in the picture and worked a treat :)

7726_100358029988545_100000430449890_6592_2777082_n.jpg

This is what you should have.... CHUCK IT !! unless you want to hang in on the roof in your garage for no reason...

7726_100358036655211_100000430449890_6593_6092291_n.jpg

Clean this up as you will be passing the new wires through here !!

7726_100358039988544_100000430449890_6594_4947315_n.jpg

I cleaned the foam padding, not sure if you have to but i spose you dont have to

After

7726_100358076655207_100000430449890_6596_1998621_n.jpg

Next sit your new speaker and pre-drill holes for screws to go in, I wont recommend trying to screw a screw in without a pre-drilled hole as you might slip and put a hole in the cone of your new speaker, we dont want that !!

Make sure you place the speaker terminals next to the existing hole for the new wires to go through!

7726_100358083321873_100000430449890_6598_2256403_n.jpg

As said before i dont have a pop rivet gun so i placed the speaker back and marked out new holes, pre-drilled them and put self tappers in, so its nice and tight !!

7726_100358259988522_100000430449890_6629_4564099_n.jpg

Ok now solder new wires that you recieved with your speakers, I also applied solder and the terminals as they were only crimped!

7726_100358089988539_100000430449890_6599_6940210_n.jpg

Run the wires through the old hole in the side like so...

7726_100358093321872_100000430449890_6600_4737605_n.jpg

7726_100358256655189_100000430449890_6628_6423272_n.jpg

Then screw the speaker back into the new holes you have drilled with self tappers... If you have a pop rivet gun use existing holes and pop rivet it !!

7726_100358263321855_100000430449890_6630_3394869_n.jpg

Then your done !!! any questions are most welcome.. also compliments are welcome, if you think i should have done something different please let me know for future installments!..

for those who are running these speakers off an amplifier it is recommended to use new wiring from the amp straight to the speaker, not using factory wiring... tho i used factory wiring cause its only running off my deck.... cioa :P !!

Looks good...

what speakers did you use? and size?

are they good? what's the sound like.. any rattle or annoyance when u drive?

they are fusion, just cheapi's, they are 4.25" i believe and the sound is better. no annoyance when my brother drives ( i cant drive it )

good work! Is there any way to remove the stock speakers without destroying them?

nah unless you go to wreckers and pick up a spare set and destroy them, so when you want to go back to stock for selling reasons you still have your pair !

Nice write up mate. I was always curious to know how to remove the door trim to access the speakers! =-)

Thanx :) i will be writing up a front door speaker DIY soon, putting Alpine SPX-17PRO series X !

One thing to look out for is that some speakers come with the right hole-spacing as standard - the JL Audio 6" 2-ways that I got for the AE102 bolted right in to the 3-bolt pattern as they had both 3- and 4-hole patters on the speaker.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
