Changing the Speakers / Add Sound Deadening on a 2010-2015 Prius JBL club 6x9

[@rebel1heart418]

The grunts and finger cut made for great subtle humor and the POV made for good vantage.

[@dvmartel1]

Dang Ray, fantastic POV of the work needed to tackle this job. One of the better how-to's on upgrading oem speakers I have ever watched. Fantastically helpful.

I noticed the bass was weaker than stock speakers after upgrading front door and dash speaker even with an amp. Fixed it but putting a resistor on my dash speakers. The dash speakers were overpowering the door speakers. It sounds amazing now!

[@skorpyo331]

Love to know more about this

[@WailuaMark]

Great how-to video! I have a 2015 Prius. I just wish you added info below on the size/type of mounting screws, brand and type of sound-deadening material and the wiring adapters. Just some homework that I'll need to do before I start this project for my Prius. Thank you!

[@JasonWho]

Thanks for the vid. Toss an amazon affiliate link in your description for the adapters, screws, sound dampener, etc. Get some $ for clicks.

[@Mottenfest]

This, please!

Great job men. I am working on my Prius10. I am not a pro on this field of electronics.. I am doing a complete new install and amp. For the sealant I have a tip. First peal about 1/2” set your starting point and then pulled out the back as you push the top layer down. That way it doesn’t stick around.

[@seanenright2212]

i love the head cam, im really in the game with this vantage......great vid!

[@bmorristown]

Thank you! You inspired me to switch mine out today.

[@mylesgray3470]

I took my door apart and did a full soundproofing and installed a new kenwood 6x9 ($60 on crutchfield) and the bass was far less than factory so I ended up putting the stock speaker back. The treble was better but the bass was way less. Just an FYI to those thinking of doing this upgrade, the factory speakers look like junk but they are hard to beat without a new head unit or an amp. The dash speaker upgrade was an excellent upgrade over stock however. Test the new speakers before you wreck the old ones if they are not blown.

[@sailsailsailsailsail]

how did you get the stock back in?

[@jayhussain6959]

I’m debating the same. I already have the jbl on my 2nd Prius, but wanted to upgrade. But without new headunit and channel amp the speakers would be downgrade no? I was thinking alpine type-r and 12” sub…

[@mylesgray3470]

@@jayhussain6959 Yea, it’s really hard to beat the factory door speakers. I upgraded to a pioneer CarPlay head unit and the factory door speakers are way better now with more power. I’m just running them till they blow, so far they are good. Added a 8” infinity powered sub under the seat and the setup sounds great to me. The soundproofing was a huge upgrade though. My car has Lexus level road noise now.

[@jayhussain6959]

@@mylesgray3470 Did you find the jbl speakers more powerful with the stock headunit or aftermarket? I’m running stock with aux currently and it’s decent. But I think I’ll get an android headunit & subwoofer while leaving the jbl speakers as upgrade now. Thanks

[@alvinbaez2006]

When buying speakers good rule for an upgrade 80w -110w rms per speaker. Stock is usually about 50w rms.

[@galileofig]

how long are the black screws? Great project, definitely changing mine on my Prius Plug in since sound quality is really bad. Thanks!

[@yesman12911]

I also want to know How long are the black screw?Please

[@jerhoneybear]

The screws came with my infinity 3 way reference speakers. They are 2 inch.

[@TheSFFV]

Dang yes drill the rivets out. Get the speaker adapter and install rivnuts. The rivnuts make the speaker servicable. I do like the use of the wire harness.

[@anayasmail4345]

I want to know about the screws how nd where u got them

[@skorpyo331]

No links in description. Home depot? For deadening material

[@camarodrew969]

Can you tell me type or length of the screws used? Ty

[@mylesgray3470]

Thanks a lot! Now I know what tools I need to take this on and that it’s with doing with the factory head unit. I’ll pick low powered speakers with the highest efficiency I can find since I won’t have an aftermarket heigh powered head unit to drive them.

[@HalfAznGuy]

What speakers did you go with? I’m thinking about doing this but I really don’t know anything about speaker ratings.

[@mylesgray3470]

@@HalfAznGuy I went with Kicker CSC35 90W 3.5 Inch 2-Way Coaxial speakers in the dash and they made a huge difference and sound amazing. Can’t recommend them enough. I tried some low power Kenwood 6x9’s in the doors but the bass was much less so I ended up re-installing the factory door speakers which are actually pretty good. I added a new pioneer CarPlay head unit and a powered infinity 8” subwoofer under the seat and my setup is complete.

[@HalfAznGuy]

@@mylesgray3470 nice! Thanks for the reply. I just saw Cheeko’s video saying that replacing the dash speakers were a much better upgrade. Maybe I’ll just try that. I don’t think I want to mess with replacing the head unit though.

[@mylesgray3470]

@@HalfAznGuy You bet. The factory head unit was fine but I had some money to burn so I figured why not. Change the dash speakers though. Seriously.

[@mylesgray3470]

@@HalfAznGuy Just recalling my install, I only got one screw in and I used shoe-gu to hold the speaker and keep from rattling because these speakers are bigger than stock. I trimmed a little of the dash board plastic. Still fit under the factory cover nothing you can’t do in like a hour, start to finish. It’s worth the effort.

[@sticup65]

Please Amazon Link for the Adapter 🙏🙏🙏

[@mfuji02]

was that a stock radio or jbl radio?

[@1bigslug]

Thanks for the video!! Trial and error you find solutions!!

[@JupiterTech1]

what camera are you using to video this?

Really good, Probably do them in an afternoon!

With this work for Prius Gen II (2004-2009)?

[@tnv1940]

Helloo. Could you please tell me about thouse speakers Amazon link??

[@PracticalBuddy]

they are JBL club 6x9 speakers from amazon

[@miagi84]

@Kushikimehh Kyoto Anything is going to be a upgrade than the stock. The stock speakers were designed to be energy efficient and that's why the small magnet and paper cone as he showed int he video.

[@JamesCarter44]

Can you link those converter cables for the door speakers please

[@zaryn147]

u should make a vid on installing a sub into the pruis

[@ophrasbankaccount7716]

My 2010 Prius came with the upgraded JBL sound system. Do you think this mod would still be worth it?

[@jeremygirarddumont6512]

Me tow and i dont know ..

[@benjmiester]

Anybody done this with a Prius that has the JBL premium system? I don't think there would be that much of a difference, just slightly different door speakers and the dash tweeters. I already have a full Android head unit and aftermarket 2 way Pioneer dash speakers on mine. Had to get a PAC Tato for the factory JBL amp to work properly. I'm just wondering if I should get a set of these for my front door speakers or if that will be an incorrect wattage load/ohm load on the JBL amp.

[@mohsinafzal40]

Hi.. did you get the full range of sound out of the 6x9s as they normally have a crossover to filter the sound so the highs go to the tweeters in the dash and mids and lows go to the in door speakers. Please reply as I am looking to do the same in mine but not sure if I'll get the full range of sound from the 6x9s and not just the bass and mids.. kind regards

[@asim6267]

Don't go for this upgrade bro, you will end up ruining base quality of your system, this upgrade is only good if you replace the head unit too.

[@zsombee11]

Hello Ray! Thanks for the video! Can you confirm that you don't need the JBL edition head unit to this to work? I have a 2010 (pre facelift) Prius with the B9016 head unit installed.

[@elpapa904]

Great vid, what about another one adding amplifiers for speakers and subs

[@AC-bz5br]

What does “Prius JBL” mean for speakers?

[@Andyusa11]

Did you installed in the back doors too ?

[@joeshmoe8952]

I got a 2015 Prius base model, it does not have the jbl speakers or navigation. Can anyone confirm if my car would have 6x9 speakers in the front like this prius does? Also what speakers would be on the rear doors? Thank You

[@metrork1]

This video shows the original speaker as round

[@danr9584]

It's not round, it's just it just looks that way because of his vantage point from the head camera. They are all 6x9

[@Chasey07]

Helo! Thanks for the video!! Could you tell me the adapter amazon link?

[@Chasey07]

Thx

[@jimhahn2050]

Looking to do the same thing. Would appreciate info on the Metra adapters. Thx.

it's the same thing for the back also ?

[@gloraditch6915]

Great post. Thanks for the help

What's the link on Amazon for the speaker adapters I'm buying the same speakers but I need the adapter and the screws ? Please and thank you very much

any good housing for this project out there?

Which is negative and which is positive

[@mickjager5974]

Maybe with the sound deadening put several pieces together before putting it in the door might be easier.

[@chacemaye8598]

How do they sound have you been happy with them, just ordered these same speaker for my 2015 prius

Does anybody know if I have to turn the airbags off before taking the door apart?

[@HillsideRip]

For all that work you could’ve just gotten the tool and been done in half the time

[@TheGunguy461]

What tool?

[@lotsofstuff3860]

I have almost never in my life done such a thing without busting up a clip or something. Always kind of taints the job a little.

[@Tuck_Frump]

Wow. That was wack.

[@fishwithme9245]

no good, if you change the speakers, then need to install the amplifier

[@eptexan915]

What size screws?!
