Oļegs. Thanks for watching! One interesting thing about the Jimny is that there is something basic and retro about it that makes you want to do things to it. What other new car has only 2 small speakers in the front as standard? That makes it affordable to buy and fun to play with. Even with all the extras I have fitted, the car is still less than 1/2 the price of my last Defender...

Thanks Neil - glad they helped! Have been a little quieter recently due to non Jimny projects that are nowhere near as interesting but will get back to it soon. Cheers. N

Abdulaziz. K Al-Haroon Many thanks!

Frank, many thanks! I agree, the Suzuki instructions take a little understanding and working out. Best wishes from a Scot with centuries old Italian blood in his veins!!!

Many thanks. N

Glad it helped Diez! Stay safe. N

David, many thanks. A couple of straight metal bars would also probably do the job. Best wishes. N

Hi. Glad it helped! Best wishes. N

Cheers Brad! N

Glad it helped Dave! Stay safe. All the best from Scotland. N

deltafoxtrot2 Thanks. Kinetic yellow is the classic Jimny colour. You know you want to!

Excellent! Many thanks for your comment - and greetings from Scotland.

Many thanks. Stay safe down there and don’t fall off. PS Can you confirm that the world is not flat? Cheers. N

Barry Watson. Definitely worthwhile.

Glad it helped! N

RobHC, many thanks. N

deltafoxtrot2 it makes a big difference! Cheers. N

Glad it was helpful!

STATHIS PAPADOPOULOS. Thank you! N

Should be unclip

Koos, many thanks! Have fun. N

@@koosfranken6115Wow i didn't know that, thanks for the tip!

Our pleasure!

Kyle, have been thinking about a preamp so watch this space! Best wishes. N

Ariel Monaco Many thanks! Working on a couple of new ones at present so keep watching this space and stay safe! Cheers. N

Good call!

Who doesn't!

Cheers Felix. Much appreciated! N

@@highergroundlifestyle did you put the same speakers front and back?

@@felix_gretarsson yes. Cheers. N

I believe so

Many thanks. N

Hola, obtuve el mío directamente de Suzuki. Los números de parte están en el video. Los mejores deseos. norte

gavin, thanks! I don’t think a reversing camera is required as one of the great things about the Jimny is it’s size and the fact you can see and almost touch all 4 corners! Just my opinion of course...

Michael, many thanks - and greetings from Scotland! There are a couple of things to think about here. Firstly, is it legal in SA to have a live camera feed visible to you when driving? I don’t think it is in the U.K. Assuming it’s not a problem, you’re ideally looking for a switched live somewhere near the camera. The rear cameras I’ve installed take their power feed off the reversing light so only come on when reverse gear is engaged. Were I looking for a switched live to have the camera on all the time I’d probably take it from the 12v accessory socket in the rear. It’s easy to get the panel off and it’s not far from where the camera will be. That’s probably your best option and I don’t believe you’d need a relay - although I probably would put an on line fuse in just in case. If you wanted an additional switch to turn the power on or off you could probably take that off the fuse box to save you running cables from back to front but make sure the fuse only relates to the rear 12v accessory socket. Let me know how you get on! Best wishes. N

Norman, thank you so much for your reply. Again, good and valuable advice. Loves from Cape Town!

@@michaelsaunders3540 no worries! Stay safe. N

Greetings Erick - and thanks! I just used the right size of speakers from a local car audio store. Nothing that special I’m afraid. The front speaker upgrade obviously involves using a larger replacement item. Simply having rear speakers makes a big difference. Best wishes from Scotland!

Hi, sorry, I sourced mine from Suzuki. The part numbers for both kits I used are shown in the video. Best Wishes. N

No, sorry

I'm going to try put 6x9s in the back making my own bracket do you think there is at least 75mm behind the rear speakers

Yes, wiring in place but no rear speakers. Cheers. N

You're welcome

Rob Paterson. Thank. Honestly - I forgot!!!

I got from Suzuki UK. Cheers. N

I just purchased from a local car audio store. The official Suzuki parts aren’t available in the U.K.

Vaneth. Great, glad it worked for you! Have fun. N

Vaneth. Sorry just picked up on your question. Total cost including kits, speakers and sound deadening was £160. Hope that helps. N

Perfect, thanks for the info!

It’s all “plug and play”. No cutting or joining of wires. Cheers. N

Many thanks. Sorry, I don’t have anything to do with management of the Big Jimny site but recognise it as a fantastic resource and would be very happy for them to use any of my stuff. Cheers. N

Hi, good question! Adding the rears makes most difference. Adds power, volume and better all round sound.

@@highergroundlifestyle thanks for the quick answer!

Should be stated in the video. Cheers. N

Pretry sure it's not. I can sort of make it out in the video, but you don't actually say the numbers of have it in the description. Never the less..keep the videos coming. Hopefully getting my Jimny after this whole lock down situation

KliperMix I’m looking at this now. Suspect under the seat is the only option! Cheers. N

DjPepelicious. I’d like to know more about your system!

storminatwork at Higher Ground Lifestyle At present I have pulled it all out as I’m about to install a pair of component speakers and a slim line subwoofer with an amp behind the drivers seat. The Alpines sounded great, but now, I want to amplify my whole system. I run an iPad Pro 11” as my infotainment system which has unlimited features than what the stock head unit has to offer.. just waiting on a few more parts and tools to arrive to commence the install.. there is an Australian Facebook Suzuki page where Myself and others have posted pics.. I really like how your Jimny is coming along.

@Helgi Esra Pétursson hi, you will need to grind the rear bracket hole out slight bigger for the alpines to fit in comfortably... the rear plastic panel may rest on the tweeter ever so slightly when putting it back together.. also the rear magnet will also be millimetres away from the rear panel.

How many mm deep is the space I want to add 6x9s

They were Panasonic’s by believe sized to fit the mounting kit. Nothing expensive as, as I’ve said before, the Jimny will ALWAYS be a tin box from a sound reproduction perspective. Rear speakers hugely improve quality though by adding volume and depth so everything is a lot less tinny!

The brackets come from Suzuki - but it wouldn’t be difficult to make something up from a strip of aluminium or thin steel. You can get the speakers from anywhere. Best wishes. N

In all honesty, I just used speakers from my local supplier. I took the view - and I think my experience has supported this - that rear speakers make a huge difference but the Jimny will always be a pretty noisy and unforgiving metal box from a sound reproduction perspective! In all honesty, I wouldn’t spend too much on audio upgrades! Best Wishes. N

Hi, the stuff I’ve put on my Jimny has been sourced from different places including Suzuki, Front Runner, Escape Gear, DRI Offroad, etc. You’ll get the suppliers details from individual videos. Best Wishes. N

Isexwayiso What spare wheel cover are you after and where are you?

Brent Baboolal See my other videos on installing the DIR roof rack for a full review! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLWIq8-iq6qtmI0.html

moseslayer Probably could but at the end of the day the Jimny will always be a pretty noisy tin box with poor sound reproduction so not sure it would be worth it?

Carlos Castrejón . No. No change!

@@highergroundlifestyle Than you! By the way, can you share the links for the speakers kit, front and back? I've been searching with no luck.

Carlos Castrejón. The kits are available directly from Suzuki - just contact your local dealer! In the UK they are also available at: www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php? I don’t have a relationship with any supplier in order to maintain my independence so please don’t take this as a recommendation. Best Wishes. N

@@highergroundlifestyle Thank you very much! I'm planning to get a Jimny for myself soon and I'm looking for useful accesories and upgrades. I will try to contact the dealer. Still I want to have more options to fiddle arround. Best Wishes for you too!

Carlos Castrejón :-)

Hel Mut. I ordered directly from Suzuki. You need 1 each of the three kits identified in my 2 separate videos plus 4 compatible speakers.

Those may come next...

Reality is that the Jimny is one of the few cars you still need to fit speakers in! Not like in my younger day when we were putting them on parcel shelves and cutting holes in door cards! Ahh, those were the days...

Sorry, no but I wouldn’t bother trying to replicate the plate, I’d just use two straight strips of metal!

Ганя. Around 40mpg. Not a fan of the Connells as a group but I think that song is a classic! Then again, I drive a kinetic yellow Jimny...

Enrique Rondon DIR. please see my video on fitting it and the associated ladder!

Sias Le Roux I did put some sound deadening in but in all honesty the Jimny will always be a tin box from a sound quality perspective! Adding rear speakers and upgrading the front is a cheap and easy way to vastly improve the baseline position only.

Leonard Van Roeyen Hi. As stated in the video, I used screws that came in the speaker kit. Shouldn’t be too difficult to get alternative screws if they’re too large or to drill the holes in the speaker brackets out. You can always use speaker clamps or rivnuts! Cheers. N

No - unless you want to! Speakers get recognised straight away.

It’s a Suzuki supplied part. The part number is in the video.

@@highergroundlifestyle sorry but I could not hear the exact code of the set.. please could you advice

I did put some in but its difficult to get behind the panels and the jimmy will always be a tin box! If you want top quality sound I'd suggest a Bentley...

Hi. The song playing in the background is 74,75 by the Connells. Great song - vey melancholic! Watch the video - then watch the remake 20 years later to see how everyone has aged. You will shed a tear!!!

Benjamin. 13cm (5.25”) Same as the upgraded fronts.

Bimbim Kunnang. Speakers installed are 5.25”. That’s the size the installation kit is designed for. If you wanted to go bigger you would have to make a new bracket. The challenge then would be depth with only around 48mm available! Best Wishes. N

@@highergroundlifestyle Thank you Sir for the feedback! For your fronts, was that 5.25's as well or just 5's exactly? I seem to be having trouble finding an exact 5" speaker in my area.

kindly disregard, i read your comment down below. :)

They’re all listed in the first video. Cheers. N

U.K. Best wishes. N

Thanks..🙋

Salut. J'ai obtenu les haut-parleurs d'un revendeur audio local, mais tous les haut-parleurs de taille correcte feront l'affaire. Bien qu'il existe un produit Suzuki officiel, celui-ci n'est pas actuellement disponible au Royaume-Uni. Veuillez également voir ma vidéo sur la mise à niveau du speker avant pour plus de détails sur les enceintes que j'ai choisies. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldaCitJh2suwnGg.html Meilleurs vœux N

@@highergroundlifestyle meilleurs vœux à vous aussi. Je voulais simplement savoir où commander les supports pour enceinte arrière. Je vous remercie.

@@mdb-306thesentinel2 Pardon! J'ai acheté les supports de Suzuki directement. Les numéros de pièce sont inclus dans la vidéo. Meilleurs vœux. N

@@highergroundlifestyle merci 👍

Джимни всегда будет жестяной коробкой! Я установил некоторую изоляцию, где мог, но, честно говоря, это не принесет много пользы. С наилучшими пожеланиями из Шотландии. N

No only 2! ...but its 25% of the price of a new defender, 10% of the price of a G Wagon and I haven't had as much fun with any other vehicle for a long time ... and I have a few cars!!!

I might well do that. Any other suggestions?

storminatwork at Higher Ground Lifestyle Looking forward to the video :) A quality armrest for between the front seats 👍

Andy Bale. Already had a bit of a battle over this! I am calling it what the Japanese call it. Even had a Japanese friend send me a recording of her saying “I would say Jimny”. A previous commentator said the Japanese don’t pronounce their own words right...

Jc Dy Not sure what you mean.
