- In this video, I install some Kenwood 2 way speakers on the golf. These paired up with the aftermarket headunit are going to sound great. I want to try to convince my brother to get some subs for the car too to complete the audio system.

•The polarity of the speakers is important to get correct. After all they are + and - for a reason.
•Don't drill the door with the window behind it!
•That is a bad way of joining wiring. Always solder and heatshrink the connection, or use a mechanical joint at worst.
•There is no need to put the speaker cover on in that application as the door card already has a speaker cover.
Please don't teach people to do things the wrong way.
mike field man i see alot of wrong in this video. Now i will admit that i don't always use connectors or the crimp method. But when i do wire the "shitty" way i wire them long ways and apply a tight layer of electric tape on it. I usually like to use male/female connectors or heat shrink
mike field It would be necessary to use oem connector to faston adapters.
@@Simone-qr6mq there u can buy VW/Škoda adaptor for the wire u unplug from old speaker.. easy and quick.
You should always solder and heatshrink the wires. And polarity does matter. Also drilling through thin metal with glass behind it isn't smart.
Thank you!!!!! i hate ppl who fuck shit up and make tutorial about it. ( I work at an audio/visual company)
Great video, but polarity is important. An easy way to tell if the wiring is correct is use a AA BATTERY. Simply touch one lead to the positive and one lead to the negative, notice the speaker when it "thumps", if the speaker sucks inwards it's wired incorrectly. If it pushes outwards then it's wired correctly. If you listen carefully, you will be able to tell which way it's "thumping". Just my two cents.
Danny Deanda thanks for the tip, I remember knowing this trick before but forgot which direction the speaker should go to know if it was right or not. Out good, in bad, got it!!
don't you mean a 9v battery?
Correct, but make sure to use a DC 9V battery as it's the closest thing to 12V which the car runs on.
The 843 dislikes are all auto electricians watching this in horror
Ya think?!!
or people that install speakers properly?
my favorite is the double speaker grills. ultra pro
Does it really matter? It could be the smartest place to store the grills in case you wanna resell them someday, not to mention an extra layer of protection...
Adam it’s not that big of a deal but I mean the more shit in front of a speaker, the more the soundwaves are dampened and interrupted
Can't believe you didn't solder it together 😂😂
I have to say thank you for your video, I actually did this my car which is a Volkswagen Golf; I preformed everything in the method that you have demonstrated. It really gave me the confidence and the ability to do. I the only thing I didn't do was the wiring since I did not need to, the speaker adapter just came with two wiring harnesses.
Thanks,
i was looking for the close up of connector and wires.
With explanation of 4 wires in set of 2 positive and 2 negative, my doubts are clear.
Man I can't watch anymore , if you look at the back of the speaker they gave you a skinny side connector and a fatter positive connection!!! Hello that is purposely done so you can connect it correctly , and then you say it does not matter again , it will not affect its performance !!!ayy ya Yao ..you should make a correction video for giving the bad advice ! First apologize to your brother for teaching him wrong ! No mas !
JOGO it's true it dosnt matter you can do two positives or two negitves
JOGO pp
Hi guys, you two brothers did a fantastic job. You spoke very clear English and explained pretty much everything so well. Please make more video for people like me out there if you get a chance. I would say , that would be great if you could make next video together. You guys have a great life and peace be with ya. Cheers
If I declare a war on you but spoke very clearly and EXPLAIN very well how I'm going to proceed then would you give me the same advise..? Considering Everthing this video teachers if technically incorrect and will damage your car not to mention downgrade the sound quality immensely, when people are doing research to IMPROVE the sound.. not the sound in the video but there own car and all the get is bad advice.. here's a better example.. say your lost while driving your car and you pull over to these two lovely well spoken men that treat you very nicely, are clear to understand, and spoke or worked well together, if they gave you the wrong directions therefore leading you 100kms away from where you asked directions too , would you say "Well not to worried, it's only 3 4 or 5 hours of lost time but at least they spoke clearly??"
Me personally would of preferred unclear directions so I would if stoped again and ask another inteligent person the way to go to get to my destination.. nut I'm only 12 years old, what the hell would I know besides how to pee my pants, pick my noise and pick on my little sister and steal he dinner.. GOD bless you all for you honest God for nothing arseholes... whoops I mean opinions.... got them confused, same thing really, assholes and opinions, everyone's got one.. can't say that's BullS#!t..
The polarity of speakers is important! If you connect second speaker in opposite way to the first one audio waves will cancel each other out, and you will hear nothing or less powerful sound!
And why you are not soderin things together,? That is very stupid! One bad bump on rod and your whole installation can break a part or short out, and star fire.
Exactly what I was thinking... Also no point in having two speaker grills. Plus two of those wires are to power the tweeters. They get passed through the speakers, or so I've read on VW forums.
Are you talking about the polarity of the wiring of the speakers?
Yes
clearly you have no idea how "audio waves" work. This is by far the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Also, the "whole installation" will not break a part nor will it start a fire, fuses in the car will protect against any of this and they are already installed in series before the connection to the stereo. Solder job is important though!
Ryan Kall You have no idea what you're talking about.
nice job bro!!really helpful!!
I'm going install new speakers on my car now
Thanks a lot guys, about to install some Kendwoods in my own ride. This was super helpful
I think that to get a really notable sound/bass improvement without adjusting the equalizer, you have to install an external amplifier (the best place would be under the seat).
Thank you for this video. You guys explain so much detail how to do the wiring, this video is a life saver!
Bet you're not saying that now!
@@mac1932 What are you even talking about?
When I did a speaker install if you aren’t using the old speakers you can cut the connector from the old speaker and wire the new speaker to it it works perfect and you can get the polarity correct with minimal soldering or wiring
I had trouble watching after "polarity doesn't matter" part, and definitely had to stop watching after the professional grade wire joining 😂😂😂
Good try at a how to video, been installing stereo equipment for over 30 years. Please use connectors and shrink tubing, leave window up and check clearances before you put the door panel back on, and connect wires to the correct polarity
Kudos to having a beetle dude. I replaced my speakers when I bought my beetle but they sound terrible definitely gonna get the adapters to bring them further out.
This is crazy this makes the third time I saw those kenwood this week after I missed buying them. Think I have to order them it's a sign.
Nice job guys very helpful. Does the speaker bracket come with it?
Loved it!! Now I can do it on my dad`s car. Tnx GUYS!!!!!!
Your bro is learning fast!
2 grills, ok.......
Something to note is too check the impendens on the speakers you have and the once you are planning too get , if it has a higher OHM value then in most case the stock AMP wont be able to power them correctly and the audio quality might start lacking :)
I have the exact same head unit. love it.
I have those same speakers and they’re pretty good for the price, a great upgrade to factory speakers.
Did you ever think to yourself "why are there two + and two - wires..?" If so diid you conclude that the factory was using a twin voice coil speaker..? Because if you did you would need some serious help. It ant no ferrari or high end stereo and if it were high end running dual voice coils then you would touch any of it. So next question is "why are there 2 sets of + and - ??? Did you check the factory speaker for any capacitor and resistor? Clearly NOT or else you would of not done it your way. From factory it is running splits (most likely better than the speakers you replaced it with, I'm sure after the video was over you said to each other that it sounded before you touched it) when running splits you use either capacitor and resistor on the speaker differ itself or a crossover extremely with more expensive speakers. Now I'm not 100% sure on your car because I'm only 12 but turning 13 in 2 months an 4 days ;) if I had to guess I made the same mistake when I was just a wee little fella aged 6, one pair is the feed to the woofer from headunit or amp and the other pair is the output to the tweeters AFTER the signal has run through the resistor mounted on the original woofer to remove any low freq signal from it otherwise like you would of found out by now you have popped the tweeter because your running bass to the little guy.. the factory don't place individual terminal if it's all just connected to one. Think about it!!! Okay it's 6:30pm and mummy is letting me know to go to bed bed, so I'm off to brush my teeth and sleepy sleep, hope you don't screw up your next video and show potentially thousands of people how to waste there time and money to downgrade there stereo and make stuff blow up.. i admit I was hoping you slipped with the drill and shattered the window, my 3 year old sister did that a few months ago. She's not the smartest but by the time she's your age GOD damm, your going to make her look like a freaken genius.. nighty night. Stay in school, you need it.. :)
Super helpful thank you! I subbed
im so fckn glad i followed u ! ur videos are so informative ! thanks for making vids like this ! i bought a Manual car without knowing how to drive and watched ur vid. now i know how in like 10 mins. and now gnna try to do install an aftermarket speaker and stereo
how good do them basic door speakers sound by themselves, like bass with out sub-woofer?
Good Job man,i like your ''project'' , its very good for young guy !
Lol when u said, "What are u doing?" hahhhaaa
Keep up with the videos, really enjoy watching them
Thanks buddy :)
Solder the wires properly, used an insulater and shrink it with a heat gun. Make proper connections (i.e. polarity). There are also vw wiring harnesses that makes connecting the speaker to the car connector plug-and-play.
Bro thank you very much.. Your video and your speaker connection really helped me soo much..do you have a video on how to connect a subwoofer speaker on amplifier? if yes please share it with me.. Other than that thank you very much, you saved me a lot of money and I appreciate your work easier and clean to understand.. Thank you..
The "How to Fix Rust on Your Car" video link at the end takes me to your "How to Solder Electrical Connections" video. Maybe hyperlinks are messed up?
Hey great video, What kind of camera do u use for videos and do u use a separate mic for the audio?
where did you get that bracket adapter from? I got an MK4 jetta and will install new door speakers and been trying to find brackets like that.
thanks.
Very nice and helpful, thank you guys !
That headunit is boss btw, good pick! :)
My brother loves it :)
love these video keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy :)
I'd love to get the link for the speakers' mounts, please.
Any suggestions on what speakers I can fir on my Ford Fiesta MK7 (08 Plate)? I know most of them need additional brackets fitted... but thats beyond me :D
'now don't yank the door off the door panel' is what i heard while i RIPPED IT OFF WITH BRUTAL STRENGTH, FML
🤣🤣
I agree with mike field. If the polarity between left and the right speakers are reversed then the sound is out of phase (180 degrees) and will give a weird spacious sound. Also I would solder the joint instead of simply twisting them together, twisting will not be reliable over a long period, due to vibration corrosion etc and will have repeat this process again later.
This way, if your door trim ever pops off accidentally, your speaker still has a grill on it.
wont using a two way speaker w/ a tweeter on it mess with the tweeter by the mirror? do both tweeters run or do you cancel the one by the mirror and just let the two way speaker do everything?
Nice video! Not alot of videos on vw's thanks!
4:04 This speaker is nice! Its a Philips in orginal amp have good bass!
Oh, OK
the polarity is very important for the speakers. they'll sound bad if they are out of phase.
It's important the way you wire the speakers.
I don't know if I can explain my self but, had you just illustrated the way to install the inferior door panel speaker?, there is a point where it seems that a factory conector has the possibility to also connect a tweeter to the superior part of the door from that point on, does it happens in every car make, or does it depend on the manufacturer?
How to Install Aftermarket Speakers (GONE SEXUAL)
Gone homosexual...
Excellent video best installation one on RUclips.
I like how this fellow says "out."
Polarities do matter to speakers. If you wire them incorrectly the speaker would work inwards instead of outwards.
I just got a new radio that has a built in 55w x4 amp. Can I do exactly everything in the video and it will automatically read the amp on the radio?
GOD, saludos desde 🇨🇱
Thx for the video it helped alot and were did u get the speakers and how much were they??
Yes! Another video!
Sept 2020. What a lovely tutorial video
They do work both ways..but if you have the wires backwards theyll move air against eachother. make sure you do a polarity check.
Looking to replace my rear speakers on my passat where did you purchase the bracket for the aftermarket speakers?
In another life, when I was in high school, I did mess around a fair amount with car audio. Even then, and since going to school, I do know that polarity does matter. If you are unsure of the polarity, I'm sure it can be found online. Or possibly even a Haynes manual, or a Chilton manual will let you know which wire is positive and which wire is negative. I am guessing that there are four wires, because it is a component system, and there are two wires that run up to a tweeter possibly.
Hey I have a 03 gti and I can't get any of the speakers to work at all I checked fuses and everything and I was curious if I do this and get the front ones to work will the back ones just come on I installed a touch screen android radio and everything works on the radio bujt I have no sound if you can help let me know man
soo i have a pontiac grand am gt and only the right speaker and tweeter play. could it be that the stereo is not reading the other speakers? Stock stereo Btw.
You brothers are sooo funny!!!
where did you get the speaker bracket and what size speakers did you use for the front doors?
Jessy Hillman I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing
You can buy aftermarket speaker harness to connect directly to the OEM wires, no need to cut any wiring
1. Polarity does matter because you will cancel out the waves if connected wrong and get bad sound.
2. Component setup would of been better.
3. Taping is fine, but soldering would make a secure connection.
Not trying to offend or anything, just trying to help a fellow friend out.
It absolutely matters which wire are you plug into where on the speakers polarity is very important and it wasn't until recently when I redid the wiring to my car after rough installing my system last year that I realized just how much it matters. My audio system doesn't even sound like the same head unit or speakers it's like a whole other audio system now and that's because I had several speakers that were out of phase due to being ignorant of speaker polarity. Also drilling out the rivets with the window directly behind the speaker sounds like an accident that is inevitably waiting to happen maybe roll the window up first and then roll it back down once the speaker is out
bro you are the best man, i watched your tutorial, a couple weeks ago, and installed some aftermarket speakers in my moms Toyota Aygo, she didn't know i was doing that, so when she drove again she was suprised by her new speakers, thanks a lot man, this tutorial is so helpfull, much love from the netherlands!
Mom still alive? Has her car burned?
how to match deh 6250 bt , 22W , 4-8ohm with aftermarket speakers ? i dont want to cause fire or to burn out speakers/unit
Will the speaker terminal fit a 22-18 gauge
GREAT FRICKEN VIDEO MAN UR AWESOME
hi friend- can you help
a beginner: if I install some third party multimedia in my 2011 ford focus (I
am pretty satisfied with sound in car), and if multimedia has output of 4x45W,
does it mean that I will "downgrade" my overall sound quality in my
car, besides my ford speakers? Thanks
Just a stupid question. Are the rear speakers the same as the front on the gti?
Where did you buy the adapters? I have the same car and I have jl speakers to install
what screw size are you using to put the new one in?
recommend souldering the wires and seal with shrink tube to prevent corrosion.
What are the odds this video features the mk4 jetta. Clicked this to get an idea but now have an actual walk through
THANK YOU :) !!!
were the factory tweeters working as well??
my vw passat b6 speakers doesn't work i don't know if you can help me with the connection.
Good video. The reflectors in the doors are puddle lights if they have lights wired to them.
I have one problem with my golf 4 when i play music the speakers work a little bite and after he interrupie the music in the grand speakers and the litle speakers work good ,when i drive with 180 km/h the speakers start to work ,i dont know what he have
Link for the adapter/spacer used for the speakers?
To do good connections you need to solder the wires and use shrink tube
hi, wanted to as where do you buy this speakers? :)
what speaker mount did u guys use?
Hello, i have installed an aftermarket pioneer stereo (deh- s320bt) in my car which says "output power: 50 (*4) watts" . Until how many watts RMS speakers can i buy? Cause i dont know if this "50" is watt RMS. For example if i place 80 Watt RMS speakers in my car, will the stereo be burnt?
I have found some speakers (Jbl stage2 604c) which are 45 watt RMS and 270 watt max power . Will they fit my car?
I’m pretty sure the 50w x 4 is the max, not the rms wattage. As long as you have a speaker above the rating you will be fine. It’s just giving the speaker less power then it can handle.
Hi what software are you using to make this video?? its very clear thanks .
Is the adapter for the new speaker coming with the speaker itself ? Ordered separated?
I like your videos you had shown me things that coming in handy but I would like to help you out as an install Institute tech it is called in phase and out of phase. in phase is when you hook the speaker negative to negative, out of phase is when you hook up negative to positive make the speaker work backwards you still get sound but the speaker works opposite polarity instead of pushing it's pulling
Hi one question... Does the bracket "improve" the speaker sound? I mean the bass sound quality. I have same Kenwood 6.5 speakers but installed withouth brackets and I feel a poor bass quality sound. I hope your answer could help me. Thanks!
The spacer improves air space, making the door deeper and louder improving bass.
instead of cutting the speaker wires cant you use an adapter harness?
Where did you get those adapters for the door ?
Jst got the exact same deck and speakers for my 03 Xterra Lol
This dude crazy
Where did you get the adapter for the speakers?
Is this truly safe to only twist the wires? Will it last just as long?
