Is this a joke or did you guys actually use caulk? It that's the route to take I would think that windshield urethane would be even more efficient.....and WAY stronger 💪

[@nateswavy]

i like you man kept real short and simple

[@MrAvlandrew]

i just did the rear 6x9's in a 92 camry, diff. screw pattern... so I used caulk... perfect :))

[@TheRealAaronWitchey]

🤣

[@michaelsnakeeyes]

Thank you so much

[@arturohernandez2313]

I replaced my rear struts on my 98 Camry about 1 year and half ago so I had to watch this video as a reminder for the rear speakers but I don’t understand why you screwed the new speaker in. You can either let it rest in between the speaker frame and the old speaker bracket just fine or you can just glue or bolt the new speaker onto the old speaker bracket. What you did works but I found what I just mentioned to be a lot simpler.

[@andrewmcdonald9507]

What if I didn't get a harness with them can I just wrap the wire around the factory using electrical tape?????

[@camposdavid0000]

I want to replace my gf’s 01 Camry speakers , my question is is this a direct fitt in terms of wattage power ? I don’t want to add an aftermarket amp . I just want to add the speakers and be done with it . Thanks

[@edwarddorville309]

Thanks!

[@nathantranaus5479]

Very good 👍

[@noodlefart1029384756]

this is not the case for the 99 camry, the seats have little side cushion panels that you need to remove before being able to take the read deck cover off. I think cuz 2000, 2001 changed it

[@smokeyyy3731]

hey, i’m currently fixing a rattle from my back speakers, the holes also don’t line up with the holes in the speakers, how did you drill new holes with the awkward angle?

[@str8gmc530]

[@brianescalante8115]

Can you make a tutorial for rear speaker installation for a 97 corolla?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

We can, whenever we get the next 97 corolla into our shop.

[@pumpkin-dl7sb]

If you have the Camry model with the seperate side cushions you will have to take out the bottom half of the seats (just pull them up until the metal latches come out) and just under the side cushions is one bolt (each side). Unscrew the bolt and wiggle the side cushions out of their place, then follow the rest of this video :-)

[@alfredcollins87]

I have a 98 camry on the wireing harness does all the wire connect And do y have to remove and drill for new speakers in trunk thank

[@MrAvlandrew]

splice the wires and use some caulk around edge of the speakers,,, done.

[@MichaelLinnMusic]

Is there any particular reason you chose to use the Kenwood grills as opposed to the OEM/factory grills?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

The Customer wanted the aftermarket ones vs. the factory ones. This install would have worked just fine with the factory grills, it was all customer preference.

[@MichaelLinnMusic]

+Provo Beast Audio Installation Glad to hear it. the less work I need to do, the better!

[@KINGSHARKgaming]

Can you show how u attached the Ken wood grills? Idk how to attach mine

[@rogergrimsby5805]

Reading the comments, you're the 2nd person to ask that question. But they don't want to answer. They've had a year to answer, if they wanted to. Maybe it's something to do with the virus.

[@omarsalli821]

I have a 99 Camry, I changed my head unit and the two door speakers, and it works great, but what I didn’t pay attention to was if the back speakers where working prior to me changing the door speakers, So right now I get zero sound from the rear 6x9s. Do you think if I replace them they will work or what might be causing the issue for no sound to come from them ?

[@LordPrometheous]

Did you make sure your fade is not set fully to the front on your head unit? Other than that, my rear speakers (2001 Solara) went out around the same time, at the 16 year point, so I'd guess yours are probably both blown as well. I think I may have one rear tweeter that barely plays, but I already got replacement speakers which I'll be installing soon.

[@SportFury1966]

I was in the same boat after a last-week head unit and door speakers replacement. Crawled into the trunk to look at the wiring and was greeted by daylight through both broken cones. Instantly thought ' OF COURSE they were going to be bad! No moisture exposure like the broken front speakers (that still worked, WTF) but the same 20+ years of age AND exposure to UV light!'

[@mikenorth534]

I'm having the same problem (2001 Camry), no rear sound after install. I have sort of a custom Camry, so I believe it must have a factory amp for the two rears like on other Toyotas and Lexus Ls300, I believe also it's a JBL amp from the factory. My problem is that I want the factory amp to still work, so I've been looking for a wiring diagram that shows my setup. I just need the factory amp to power on so that I don't have to bypass it or run additional wires to the rear speakers. Just wanted to say all that for future installers who read this.

[@rogergrimsby5805]

@@SportFury1966 Me too. I got the 1999 Camry in 2016, and there was no sound from the back speakers. The fronts were OK, so I figured some common circuitry for the rear channels of the radio went bad. Then one front speaker failed a year later, I don't know if I can get a buzz out of it if I crank up the channel. Now, the other front speaker sounds like only the tweeter is playing, its woofer will only buzz if I push it. Finally, it becomes clear that the 24 year old speakers are failing, not the radio. Too bad Crutchfield did such a surprisingly poor job on this video, which hardly shows anything of the speaker-replacement process. Each channel of the radio expects to see 4 ohms, but a broken or burned out speaker might have taken an excursion far away from 4 ohms. So for the speakers that are burned out, I turn the balance and fader to stop signal from going to any burned out speaker. Just trying not to stress the radio.

[@funkytown9822]

i have an 01 camry xle and im thinking about getting the same 6x9's just to replace the back speakers, will these come with mounts for the speakers and do i need a new stereo?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

You won't need a new stereo, i would see how they sound before replacing the new radio. Certainly you will have better sound quality with a new radio, but see how they sound before then. As for mounts, i'm not quite sure what you are referring to, but we didn't need any mounts when I replaced these ones. The hardware supplied with the speakers was used for mounting / securing the speaker..

[@funkytown9822]

how can i prevent the speakers from rumbling?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Are they just rattling / vibrating from moving around? If so, use better nuts and bolts, or try using sound deadening. Just ensure that the speaker is securely mounted.

[@jonathanschultz2472]

About how long did it take? And is it the same on a 99' Camry le?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

+J⃟O⃟N⃟A⃟T⃟H⃟A⃟N⃟ S⃟C⃟H⃟U⃟L⃟T⃟Z⃟ It took about 1-2 hours (because we filmed it). If you keep the factory grills, it should only take you about an hour. This video applies to all trim levels of the Camry. Please see the description of the video.

[@alanboss5128]

Is it possible to just take off the factory grills switch out the speakers and then replace the factory grills?

[@ChristopherTeerlink]

No it is not. They are riveted on. You would have to cut them out if you were going to go that direction. With damaging the rest of the rear deck panel, I suggest you remove it.

[@alanboss5128]

Thanks. You spoke of a panel tool. Is that something special, or would a screwdriver serve?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

You honestly can use anything, just be careful not to damage the panel using s screw driver.

[@Super6-Four]

no need to drill new holes into the metal frame . you can pry the plastic mount glued onto the oem speaker then mount the new speaker onto the original plastic mount.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

You also can purchase adapters on amazon that function the same way. Lots of options, the customer just wanted to mount them directly to the metal.

[@theanimegurugmail]

I feel kinda dumb for asking but, would that mean gluing the new speakers onto the plastic mount? Or would you screw them on maybe? I have these same speakers and a 99 Camry I don't feel like drilling holes in.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Don't glue, you can use screws to securely fasten them. You can buy adapters to make it work like the Metra 82-8146 brackets.

[@818alonzo7]

How did you take off the factory grill cover?

[@rogergrimsby5805]

I'm surprised that Crutchfield produced such a poor video. They don't show actual process, like removing body parts that are held together with clips, but they only show after the parts were removed. They don't show taking the speakers out, but only the empty holes afterwards. They don't show the speakers being installed, but only the speakers in place afterwards. They mention some cable adapters, but they don't show what they're for or in what case they're required, and they don't show the speakers being attached to the cable connectors. Why did they bother doing this video at all. Really surprised. And the executives will decide that these cars are too old to warrant replacing this video, so I'll have to look elsewhere on the internet for a better description of the process, elsewhere besides Crutchfield, really surprised. The grill covers don't have any fasteners, so my hypothesis is that they snap on and off. But they probably snap on really tightly to avoid them buzzing at higher radio volumes. But I don't have the experience to say for sure.

[@Jerry-mq5zn]

Did the speakers in the back come in pairs?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Speakers (all aftermarket generally) will always come in pairs.

Hello my friend all incomplete good cables, but the speakers at the back is not working

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

+moder basim Check to see if there is a speaker signal coming from the radio head unit. It could be a bad radio, or the wiring could be bad. You may have to end up running new speaker wire from the radio head unit back to the speakers.

[@scootergreen3]

You have to take the inside rear side panels off? Man! Why do car makers make it so hard and have to take off so many things to get to something that should be simple to take off?

[@bobjoe6096]

Because they want you to pay them for everything that goes wrong with the car and they want you to pay them for upgrades or replacements. I'm pretty sure they would have thought it out and decided that making it difficult would make them more money than making everything easily accessible. They care more about money than convenience for you unless they're making money off of your convenience.

[@jamesstewart1794]

Oh wow. 2 whole side panels. What a load of work. Maybe some people deserve to be taken by the dealership. Just pure lazy.
