2014-2019 Toyota Highlander - PLUG N PLAY DASH SPEAKER UPGRADE!

[@randomrazr]

So youtube decided to MUTE the most imporrtant part of the video. the before and after video. used non copyrighted song and then the owner decided to copyright it. Apologies for the dissapointment. TO sum up, their is a big noticable difference . doesnt sound muted or cheap anymore and you wont regret the upgrade.

[@eloyrodriguez3472]

How can I order the same size sweeters you have?

[@Oladavol]

I 1000% recommend putting in 3.5" speakers. The upgrade is outstanding. It takes a bit of diy however it's a very simple job

[@bradley617]

Amazing! Just installed and my highlander is like a different car. Appreciate it !

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Great stuff. I ordered these for my 2019 Sienna SE. Thanks for the video

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Installed. Super easy and nice impressive sound quality improvement in the mids and highs. Thanks to you and your video insight.

[@paultorres2423]

Thank you for this video...I just did the swap on my 2019 Highlander and it was perfect. Your video is spot on and the sound quality difference is very noticeable. Thanks again !

[@randomrazr]

thanks paul! nice to know this worked for someone else :D

[@brandonsmith1502]

Were the speakers plug and play like in the video? I just ordered mine from the Amazon link.

[@paultorres2423]

Brandon Smith exactly like the video, word for word...enjoy !

[@randomrazr]

@@paultorres2423 the alternative is to use the proper size speaker from jbl, but u would either need to splice the wires and hard wire it or buy an adapter from tacotunes to keep the stock connectors. the way i did it in the video is the cheapest and easiest way. i tried the adapter harness and jbl speakers after the video, spent twice as much money and didnt get better sound improvement.

[@bradley617]

What is the model number of these kickers?? Don’t think he said it

[@Tiberius-84]

Your video helped me get into the mindset even though I will likely be choosing a different product. On my 2014 Highlander, my non-jbl stock speakers have blown out after excessive heavy metal ;) Thanks for breaking all of this down. It was very informative! Looking forward to tearing out some old shitty speakers.

[@randomrazr]

thanks! i tried my best. sucks i got copyrighted on the best part of comparing the sound tho.

[@josed2956]

What is the model of those "kicker" speakers, so I can order them in amazon ?

[@samuelaiken2570]

Hey man! Great video, I ended up going a different route and bought skar TX35 tweeters($35) paired with an adapter from Amazon for $10 so I wouldn’t have to cut factory wires on my 2015 highlander xle Non-JBL. The tweeters fit perfectly with no bracket necessary and also it’s an a lot cheaper option for amazing sound!!

[@randomrazr]

you got a link to that adapter? wish that was avaialble to me lol

[@samuelaiken2570]

@@randomrazr yea man I just sent the link to the adapter and the tweeters! I thought I’d try it out and I’m glad they fit!

[@samuelaiken2570]

Did you get the link? It disappeared on my end

[@randomrazr]

@@samuelaiken2570 nope, youtube might have considered it spam lol. whats the name of the adapters and iil just search it. thanks@

[@samuelaiken2570]

They are actually $13.99 instead of the $10🤦‍♂️ my mistake lol

[@HeyCharlieBrown]

The factory had more low end but the clarity of the new speaker are nice

[@AnonymousNinja82]

First of all that top speaker is for highs and so was the OEM one. The fact that the highs are better now is giving you the illusion that low end is gone but it was never there to begin with.

[@tbomb887]

No. He is correct. This guy replaced what is more of a widebander with a dedicated tweeter. So I can almost guarantee there are frequencies that are not being played by the Kickers. The issue with the factory speaker is they get a little harsh above 8khz so initially it may sound better with the kicker. If you are someone who likes the ole smiley face eq curve then these kickera probably do sound "better".

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

Good video, I got a 2003 Highlander, swapped out all the speakers as well as the HU and big difference. Toyota makes good cars but true their stock sound systems leave something to be desired.

[@randomrazr]

u did doors to>?

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

Yep sounds a lot better. Toyota should partner with Kenwood for their sound systems

[@j.jarvis7460]

After owning a Toyota I would never buy JBL speakers. 🫠

[@brandonsmith1502]

Great video and huge difference. The plug and play definitely helped out. I'm not too worried about the second bolt not fitting, I just got a larger washer.

[@randomrazr]

yeah just use the second bolt to keep the edge down, a washer is a great idea too. this isnt a 100% full fit method but it works and easiest way without splicing wires or buying a 50 dollar harnass adapter

[@brandonsmith1502]

@@randomrazr I wonder if there is plug and play speakers for the front and Back....

[@TomJones-th1qs]

Just swapped these out today. There is a pretty big difference. Doesn't change the fact that the rest of the speakers are garbage, but this is at least how the car should have came from the factory.

[@randomrazr]

i didnt think the door speakers were that bad for stock. i wanted to change em but it seems more difficult to do, not just ripping out the door panels but also getting them to work with the stock stereo in the dash. but i agree, this is what should have sounded like with the dash speakes. glad my vid helped!

[@brandonsmith1502]

Is there not a video on replacing the door speakers ?

[@Samosayummyyay]

I got a 2014 Corolla (it's called Auris in Europe) and I noticed a huge sound quality improvement when I got my new phone with Dolby Atmos built in. Now my car audio sounds crystal clear, yet is a lot louder than before with perfect bass-lines despite the lack of a sub-woofer. It really does sound like as if my car had a few hundred-Euro's of car-audio upgrades!!

[@Lifesrad8]

Buy the higher models they come with full JBL speakers. I have a limited and it's decent sound not as much Bass as I'd like but not bad.

[@nathanbarth7909]

​@Lifesrad8 they have no base at all. I dint get it. My camry with the stock non jbl speakers sounds better

[@ghosts-dx6nw]

What's the song for the sound comparison at 5:36?

[@randomrazr]

i think youtubed muted it due to copyright. which sucked for me cause thats the most important part. i will say they do make a differnce that wont dissapoint.

[@ghosts-dx6nw]

@@randomrazr The first song that I asked about still plays, I just Shazammed it and it’s How to Ruin a Original 👍 It’s only the second song that got muted

[@yodead369]

It's made from that because of the factory stereo doesn't put out a bunch of Watts, therefore that speaker made out of that material takes a whole lot of less power to operate.

[@apolinarponce4506]

What songs are those sounds good

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

12.2 MPG holy! How do you drive?

[@randomrazr]

12.2 Litres per 100km which sitll sucks . i shoudla hve gotten the hybrid eh lol

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

@@randomrazr oh I didn’t notice lol. Just looking at that number where mine always is and made the assumption haha. Looking to swap out my door speakers and then found this and the ToyotaNation forum thread you made. What a deep rabbit hole. My door speakers are blown I think. Vibrating very badly.

[@randomrazr]

@@signedupfordoconly4275 assuming you ahve the XLE or LE , my understanding is the door speakers act as a bass and speaker. ive read people changed them only to find out they lack bass or somethign. if their vibrating badley, you could go inrto the settings in the infotainment screen and adjust hte basss to see if thats the issue. an update on the speakers, you can buy the JBL dash speakers and find an adapter now to connect them tot he toyotoa connector that way you can use both screws. these speakers are still nice though, way better then the original garbage toyota put in. good luck !

[@mafosa8519]

kicker has some really nice (key) amps and speakers that are a dead ringer for toyota. crutchfield has speaker adaptors and wire adaptors that make it all a plug n play. "all in or all out!".. larry

[@leanavine]

I wonder if these will fit a Sienna - the sound of the stock speakers is appalling! I can't really use my bluetooth phone because it's such low quality...

[@craigsnyder2686]

They fit my 2013 Sienna and sound great! Also the screw holes line up in the Sienna!

[@butura55]

Actually what you have removed is Mid-Range speaker, and what you have installed is twitter.

[@randomrazr]

all i know is that the sound inside the car now sounds so much better so iil take the results as a win

[@The92ford]

I need a plug and play harness for my 2018 camry. That has the jbl system. Just the dash harness. All the ones ive found says it won't work with the jbl

thats harder to do.

[@rickt2419]

Definition of Plug and Play is -- Devices that are intended to work "perfectly" when first used or connected, installed, without reconfiguration or adjustment by the user. In your case of the front dash board speakers are no sound improvement worthy of ~$100 nor plug-N-play!

[@randomrazr]

lol it as close to plug n play as toyu get. and these speakers are a huge improvement over the sound quality of the shitty toyota paper back ones

[@mickmcmick8247]

You could have easily adapted those JBLs. Like, very easily. Kinda seems like you opted for worse sounding speakers in order to save yourself 20 minutes. My god......

[@randomrazr]

didnt want to splice wires. i ended up updating these speakers to the JBLs thanks for the adapter from tocotunes . honestly the sound difference is minimal if any.

[@PedroCerrano84]

Crutchfield.

[@thongvu4281]

Does anyone know the ohms of the stock tweeter and door speakers? If they're 4ohms running parallel to the door ones, then they'll cause damage over time by forcing the amp to 2ohms?

[@YohanathanD]

Most are 8 ohm stock. Most 2.75" aftermarket speakers are 4 ohm. I was wondering this myself as it will cause them to stand out from the rest of the system
