I did the same 4 speaker upgrade with the factory unit 2 years ago. Make sure you use the sound matting behind the plastic adapters. Over time, the speakers will loosen the bolts and rattle against the metal body. I thought I had 2 blown fronts, but it was simply the plastic bracket rattling from the speaker bass. Put a sheet of sound matting over the speaker opening, cut around the hole with a blade, mount the plastic adapter, and insert the speaker. This also provides a better seal between the speaker and door allowing for cleaner bass and sound. Think of it as a sealed speaker box.

@@Tacomaholic do it! Especially if you live in a warm climate. Over time, those plastic speaker brackets will warp slightly due to heat. I got mine from Crutchfield. The sound deadening material will absorb some of the warping, but still keep a good seal. Been there done that.

Pro tip on removing the door plastic: Invert a can of canned air; this will freeze the 'tar' holding the plastic on and keep things very clean. Work in small sections, and it'll pop free without leaving strings of tar covering everything. It also makes it easy to reinstall that plastic, and... REINSTALL THAT PLASTIC!

Just a note to say thank you for all your great videos. The first mod that I did on my 2014 Tacoma Access was installing the UNI filter. My latest mod was sound deadening the doors, upgrading my stereo with the Subaru Kicker tweeters and new 6 x 9 speakers. The Rockfords are a bit expensive in Canada so I went with the Kicker DSC6930 that I found on sale. The only issue is that the holes on the speakers did not align with the ones on Metra bracket, so I had to drill a small pilot hole for the fourth screw. Thanks to your videos the install was super easy and the speakers sound amazing. Thanks again for all the help.

Only things I did differently was I drilled the speaker tabs to the correct spot vs angling the screws and the noico red foam in the doors. Oh and I also put the plastic back in place to cover the holes. The difference in how quiet it is and the stereo sound is fantastic! Thanks for all the hard work. Oh, and yah those tabs in the inside just snap off, no dremel needed.

I checked and mine are the correct ones and same that you used. It looks like im gonna have to make the holes in the speaker a little bigger. Thanks for all you do, you've got a great thing going here. Semper Fi

@Tacomaholic 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Kevin! If you are having issues with the holes lining up perfectly you can insert the bolts through the speaker holes with the speaker sitting off of the speaker bracket a little bit, that way you can line the bolts up with the holes then just slowly tighten each bolt a little at a time until the speaker is flush.

Good professional vid editing. 1) The black glue is butyl rubber. A heat gun and metal scraper will get most of it off. Then go back and scrape it to a thinner coat & it'll be fine. 2) Putting in a new head unit with more power really does necessitate thicker wires. Man, I'm struggling with that right now. I like this initial idea of plug-n-play with sound deadening. A good way to cheaply upgrade. Happy Trails!

I found with my 2015 with the white cover plate on the tweeter harness if you just pop the the back in the center with a flat head it just quickly comes off safely and will pop back in with out all of the maneuvering. Also removing the two center pins on the tweeter harness if you just use a small flat head towards the back and lift up the two back catches the pins will slide out much easier with out catching but do hold the harness with pliers and pull cables with your hand.

Great video .. but just wanted to mention that the speaker brackets have designated holes at the top of them specifically to run the wires through to avoid having to "make your own" holes via the door gromets, etc.

The plastic liner is a rain/water barrier…I would recommend putting it back in place. Thanks for the vid!

If you sound deaden the inside part of the door, close up all the holes, it creates a self made speaker enclosure. Also helps keep the door panel from creating rattles when the volume is turned up.

@Tacomaholic 5 жыл бұрын

Yep I'll be doing that next. I'm already impressed with the effect of just having the sound deadening on the outside of the door. Can't wait to hear (or not hear) when I add that inner layer.

Is the effort of adding the sound dampening material worth it?

This is much better than that OEM Reference Q bull. Mostly becasue you'll save ~$1500.

Great videos, keep it going, just a curious note, the Toyota speakers actually have no magnet, is an upgraded version of piezo electro tunnel, that uses two coils one reverse than the other and create its own magnet in real time, cool concept but the sound is not the best, little limited by the low frequencies.

Another great video Brian good job! I have virtually the same set up in my truck and run it with xav-ax 100 head unit. They have newer models of this unit now. I also have 210 ounce kicker comp RT subs shallow mount and a ported box as well behind must rear seats I know that’s probably not an option for you but it does sound killer! The sound system is basically plug-and-play minus the subs if you want links I could provide them Foria the head unit has Apple CarPlay and all the awesome stuff that you would probably want in a modern vehicle. It also provides about 50 W of power from the head unit so it gives you a decent little boost in performance as well from the stock head unit

Thanks Brian! Yeah adding a subwoofer isn't going to be an option with my molle rack in the back but please send me a link for the head unit as I might upgrade that too.

@BrianSmith-ws7gl 5 жыл бұрын

Tacomaholic Here is a link to the 3 models available for the head unit I have the XAV AX 100 which is the first generation of the head unit but the 1000 is basically the same thing I have with a few additional features. They are actually getting ready to come out with the XAVAX7000 which will actually add 100 W of power and is actually powerful enough to power our subs directly from a head unit which is crazy. I recently just got a Toyota Corolla in addition to my Tacoma because it guzzles gas as you know LOL.

Great video! I referred to it when I did my install, but I just did front 6x9s and tweeters. I like your idea for the sound deadening material. I did that, too, so I hope it helps. By the way, as I'm writing this now, all the parts for your install, including the sound mats, would be $250.
