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.

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
