I did it using your instructions. I was quoted such a high price, that I thought it would be worth giving a try myself. It worked! My new speakers were not even the right size and the housing I also purchased didn't fit. Your video helped me so much!
Thanks. I replaced both front lower speakers using your method. I used 6.5" Sonys. Our 2009 Rav4 speakers had 7 ribs that needed to be cut. I used a jigsaw that did the job well.
Did mine exactly the way you did it. Worked great! Just took me longer. Sony 6.5". 2012 Rav4. Also just stuck the wires in the white plastic connector from the door and taped them. works great. Thank you.
I don't know why so many people are so cheap that they won't spend the $13 to get the correct speaker mounts. And the $4 for the speaker direct wire adapter.
If they're not needed then we can save the $$, unless you want to save/sell the old speakers...Of course the stores would like you to buy everything you possibly can, but if you're handy you can always save money...
Yikes... it all looked just a little too rough of an install to me... Drill slipping when removing the rivet, dropping the door fascia panels onto the bitumen, rough cutting the molded speaker fixture, and self tapping screws into the inner door panel without checking for rear clearance. All in all an rough as guts installation. Id suggest to go to Five Star Car stereo Channel and see how its done properly to protect your car when upgrading the stereo. 🤔
Good clear video. I was thinking of replacing both the lower and uppers. Are the highs less clear if you just put a two way speaker in the door and disconnect the upper?
I would imagine so less clear. I just replaced my Miata speakers and realized how much easier a single 2way speaker would have been. Far less hassle and install would be 5mins. I am about ready to upgrade my 2011 Rav4 and I found some $450 Focals for $100 used locally so I am going to deal with the hassle so I can get the max sound performance up front. If you want simple I think you will still have great sound but that tweet sure won't be pointed at you like it would be in the factory spot. I did find on Amazon some tweeter brackets that work with OEM holes. Spendy at $25 though but will simplify the install so I bought them anyway.

You can always replace rivets with screws, but if you've followed these instructions, you've already completely killed your factory speakers and wouldn't want to reinstall them.
You could have left the rivets in now its gonna have rattling noises, dont do this people this was a amateur install, this is not something you want to do to your car
YES ... Just use a Pneumatic Chisel as it too will possibly ruin the inner door skin ... LOL Or go cave man style and use an actual Hammer and chisel. Good luck on the repair bill !
My same thought. I paused the video to take a closer look and it appears to have been been screwed to the old frame with a bugle head drywall screw that was not even screwed down all the way. I’d suggest using either a self tapping truss head screw used for fastening sheet metal together or a small machine screw and nyloc nut to fasten them together. A bead of adhesive or double stick foam tape could also help prevent vibration. I’d also trade in the Ryobi drill for a more reputable brand of tool if I want to be taken seriously.
wait.. what are your self-tappers screwing into? Gud gawd all this chit was easy af before lazy cheapo manufacturing/assembly. I'd bur off the heads & leave the rest of the rivets. lol, rivets . . as if some crap stock speakers didn't need instant replacement with 20 miles on the car!
@@joey4277 I'm sure the new speakers will sound fine. However, the factory configuration is a "component" distribution: you have s single "woofer" driver at the bottom and dedicated "tweeters" at the top of the door, close to head level. Using a coax speaker is kind of a step down from the factory configuration if you will.
@@CarlosAnglada it’s worse than that. The tweeters in your new speakers won’t even be used unless you remove the crossover filtering that feeds the highs to the tweeters and the mids to the woofers. Otherwise the factory installation would sound like garbage with your woofers and tweeter both trying to act like full range speakers.
@@cwalter5 All excellent points, but the excellent installation of the speaker mounting will cause more noise than the speakers themselves KeK! 😆 Just insert key and drive... Tada Speaker Noise!
Best video ever on removal, no messing around, just straight forward instructions! Thanks!

Straight to the point but GOT DAMN, what a hack job
Great vid, guy sounds like he's running an uphill sprint

Your camera man had one job just one job! How can he screw that up? The camera was pointing everywhere except where we need it.
I thought he was the one talking.
Youre fired! You had 1 job and you couldn’t even do that.
Thanks for the video. Wow that is some shaky footage though.
Thanks for sharing this video. I changed all 4 door speakers in my 2012 Rav4 without any issues.
What did you upgrade It to?
Good and Helpful Video!!! I was Hoping I would Not need to take off the door panel. Not the case. I will have a car audio shop do it. Thanks again.
Did mine exactly the way you did it. Worked great! Just took me longer. Sony 6.5". 2012 Rav4. Also just stuck the wires in the white plastic connector from the door and taped them. works great. Thank you.
I don't know why so many people are so cheap that they won't spend the $13 to get the correct speaker mounts. And the $4 for the speaker direct wire adapter.
Where can I find the mounts and adapters?
If they're not needed then we can save the $$, unless you want to save/sell the old speakers...Of course the stores would like you to buy everything you possibly can, but if you're handy you can always save money...
Because if you're doing all 4 doors we just saved 70 bucks doing it this way, that's why
Unless you're willing to buy them for us that is
Right they are literally free w purchase of speaker on Crutchfield.
I wish I had 3 hands!
you do .. its just that we all have shoes on 2 of them :P
@@nobass_stub1394 4 is better than 3! Thanks
Tearing shhh up, Bo! Can't do my soakers, thanks anyway...
Thanks so much! Doing this job Thursday.
Since this is a shop hopefully is not....you just scratch the door when trying to drill the rivet.
its hidden under the trim

Well done simple info thank you.
Thx for the vid. My wife's 09 is now my daughter's, and she just bought 4 Pioneers for it. There goes my Saturday.
Stock Speaker cones are 5.25" (5 1/4")
What years? I'm looking for 2004
Why did you cut the speakers?
Wow, this guy has three hands!
Good clear video. I was thinking of replacing both the lower and uppers. Are the highs less clear if you just put a two way speaker in the door and disconnect the upper?

I replaced the uppers with silk dome Kenwood eXcelon’s and they sound beautiful. I highly recommend.
Hi can you please tell me the new speaker diameter
At 4:27, the video shows a Kicker 6.75” speaker.
How are are able to fix the speaker into this hollow frame?? It is hollow on the edges where you want to screw in the new speaker?????
The speakers I want to buy have a 48mm mounting depth, do you reckon they'll fit?
Wow this guy has 3 hands
why does this man have three hands?
Good info but this person video need a little work holding the camera
YES I agree. Camera skills are on the up, as is the installation skill level :)
How many hands does it take to door panel
I guess I'm paying someone to do this lol
De que tamaño es el bajo que va en la puerta jbl??
What size speakers can fit the OEM brackets? Was thinking of buying 6,5" speakers.
I think he installed a 6.5 inch Kicker speaker, even though the stock ones are 6.75 inch.
"there we go"
Could I reinstall factory speakers back on the car or is that ability lost bc the rivets are drilled out?
You can always replace rivets with screws, but if you've followed these instructions, you've already completely killed your factory speakers and wouldn't want to reinstall them.
LOL .... WHAT factory Speakers... He butchered them for the dodgy new speaker mounts.
You had me until the word solder came up. I’ll have my friend do it. Thank you.
What size are the cones?
Are the original speakers really so bad that they deserved to be ripped out like that?
Good information thanks!
rivet size?
You could have left the rivets in now its gonna have rattling noises, dont do this people this was a amateur install, this is not something you want to do to your car
Lol no, that will not happen, if anything, the rivets will eventually rattle.
Can this be done without a drill?
The rivets are the issue, they're made of metal, and they're not screws. If you can take them off without a drill, sure. If not, then no.
YES ... Just use a Pneumatic Chisel as it too will possibly ruin the inner door skin ... LOL Or go cave man style and use an actual Hammer and chisel. Good luck on the repair bill !
You skipped the most important part: attaching the new speaker to the mount.
My same thought. I paused the video to take a closer look and it appears to have been been screwed to the old frame with a bugle head drywall screw that was not even screwed down all the way.
I’d suggest using either a self tapping truss head screw used for fastening sheet metal together or a small machine screw and nyloc nut to fasten them together.
A bead of adhesive or double stick foam tape could also help prevent vibration.
I’d also trade in the Ryobi drill for a more reputable brand of tool if I want to be taken seriously.
he used super Glue!
camerman with parkinson ?
Como hacer mierda una puerta en tu rav4
You should have explained why you changed the original speaker!
I'll take this one. Because factory speakers are, in a word, terrible.
Because they sound like absolute shit
than why you spend time to drill that out?
wait.. what are your self-tappers screwing into? Gud gawd all this chit was easy af before lazy cheapo manufacturing/assembly. I'd bur off the heads & leave the rest of the rivets. lol, rivets . . as if some crap stock speakers didn't need instant replacement with 20 miles on the car!
oh.. ya twisted the basket bracket 1/4" from the og holes. down n dirty. Guess I like it. what a pain.
the shaking is annoying
Kunnon ranetusta
😈😡😠(amer +amer=😈😈😈😈😈😈😠
did you really replaced the original speakers with a COAXIAL?? in the doors? w t f
What's the problem? Will they not sound right?
