I needed to redo part of my speaker upgrade because one of my Kicker DS 6x9's on the passenger side went bad two months outside of the Warranty. Even though I did this in the past your video was better than ones I watched over two years ago. Very clear and well filmed steps. Watching the video along with the Crutchfield instruction sheets helped me replace my broken front door speaker with a new set with speed and ease.

I replaced the front door speakers in my Tacoma today and I was shocked at how cheaply made the factory speakers are. I also did a few things slightly different than you. I zip tied the extra loose wire from the new harness to the speaker frame so there was not wires dangling that may get caught on the window regulator when it goes up and down. Also, there is a hole in the plastic for the speaker adapter to run the wire harness through. I drilled another hole about 1/2" away and I ran a zip tie through it and around the wire harness that was sticking out. Once the speaker was installed and plugged into the factory harness, I pushed the new harness back into the hole slightly, then I tightened the zip tie. That way the new harness is not bouncing around. Also, before I mated the speaker to the plastic adapter, I ran a small bead of silicone around the speaker then mated it to the adapter and screwed them together. I wanted to make extra sure they were solid together and there would not be any rattling.

I just did this to my Tacoma. I have a couple of additional notes. The screws provided with the speakers don't 'bite' into really anything. If you don't address this I think they will vibrate loose. In the bag that the screws came in there are 90 degree screw backs (thin metal). I took some tin snips and cut them so that I had a flat screw backing. I used needle nose pliers on the square that I made out of the 90 degree screw back. I then screwed them down into the squares (on the back of the speaker adapter), they are not going anywhere. I also noticed on the back of the old speakers there was some black felt. I'll bet this is for vibration as well. I trimmed some felt and put some on the back of the new speaker bracket. I got the felt from a hobby store ($5), it had adhesive on one side. I recommend doing the same. One additional note, assemble the speaker into the mount and the wire harness in the house/AC. When you are ready to install them it will take about 10 min per door (maybe a bit longer on the first one as you learn).

One other thing, the back speakers put out very little volume. Unless you get an amp, there is no point in replacing the rear ones. The tweeters in the dash should be changed though, big gains there as well. Just put in the plug and play Kicker branded Subaru's (google it). It's worth pointing out that this does NOT work for those with the JBL system. They use different speaker connectors.

Does the stock head unit have enough juice to power them?

Plenty but if you’re looking for even more volume look at an amp.

I messed up on my adapter bracket. I had the face cover on like an idiot so I had to modify adapter a lot just to take cover off and have more wiggle room. It’s okay I used clips provided to mount the adapter to speaker and it’s nice and tight. I’ve pull tested it, seems sturdy. May consider buying a new set as they’re only $20 bucks

I have a 2022 TRD Sport and used the same speaker and speaker brackets, but the driver’s side door panel seems to be not flush now. The door is closing, but it’s clear the speaker is causing the panel to be out from the way it was with the stocker. Any issues on your end with the same thing? Thanks!

Shaun Carberry I was gonna ask the same thing. I added Noico to the back wall of my access cab just yesterday and did NOT notice a discernible difference - I’m thinking the access cab doors might be the largest contributor especially those large storage compartments in the cab doors. BUT maybe all the noise is com8mg form those vents in the rear panel? I didn’t cover those up cause I’ve seen some are saying the a/c and heater blower would have to work harder if those vents are sealed???
