Thank you! Very glad you can make use of the speaker install video. We really like the Ridgeline and the bed size is way more useful than most give it credit.
Thank you for making this video, it was well timed! I have been looking all over RUclips for the right instructions and this is the one I needed to see. Awesome job!
Fantastic, thank you Jay! I realized once I started on the rear doors they are a bit different to the front but close enough the video should be good. The video was way longer than expected but I didn't leave anything out, even included the zip-tie fix which is working just fine, lol. Hope you have a great weekend!
Hello! Yes, the same adapters work for rear/back seat speakers. I didn't mentioned it in the video but my left rear speaker doesn't work. I switched with the right rear which was working and still didn't work. I assume my almost 20 year old stereo is to blame. Anyway, I went from 1 speaker to 3 working so it was progress 😁.
Is there a reason you didn't put the silver plastic covers on the speakers? Is it because they won't fit with them or because you didn't need the esthetic of them?
Hello, I don't believe there's room for the covers that shipped with the speakers. Also, I wanted it to look just as before, as much as possible. Have a great weekend!
Hello Mark. Yes, the adapter and wiring connector makes for a very easy, no wire cutting install. You could cut the speaker wires and make your own adapter spacer but I don't think it's worth the aggravation. Is the paint on your Ridgeline starting to fade? Mine doesn't look so good on the roof and hood. Thanks!
@tbb10785 awesome thank you! looks like the hardest part is getting that door off lol and no actually the paint looks good never been in a garage and traveled the east side of America how ever there is rust near the bottom panels given we have snow
My truck spent it's life in Miami until 2020 when I purchased the truck. The sunshine did a number on the paint, I think. However, very little rush so far. Yes, you'll spend more time taking the door panel and handles off & on, then installing the speakers.
Hello! Yes, it needs to be slim in thickness, otherwise the back of speaker could hit the window when you lower it. There's not much room in the door panel and that's why you need the spacer too. Hope this explains it 🙂
@@carlitosducoing8507 I hope they fit too 👍. I'd suggest slowly rolling down the window to check for clearance after you get the first one installed 😃. That would be a real pain to find out after you installed all 4 speakers. You probably already thought of this!
Probably the best Video on this made, THANK YOU for recording it! I will do it to my Ridgeline I just bought 😀

Thanks!!! This helped me. I wasn't sure I would be drilling new holes in the door.
You are very welcome! Glad to know this helped someone else 😀

Did you replace the rear speakers too? Do the same adapters work back there? Thanks for the video!

Got the same truck year color and everything so ill need a speaker adapter and a wiring harness to connect them?

It has to be slim??? Speakers
