DIY CAR AUDIO UPGRADE 🔨 GR YARIS STEREO INSTALL 🔊 Woofers, Tweeters, DSP & Amp (Part 2/2)

[@ferradar]

awesome content and organization mate, keep it up!

[@tlsc2006]

Where did you grab the speaker outputs from to run into your amp 👍

[@mXsReaper]

I love that freaking color! Is there a code for this?

[@BR702702]

Just discovered your channel having a GR on order. Brilliant stuff and liking your style/production - best of luck with the youtubing!

[@JBCTR]

Thanks mate! Glad you are enjoying it :)

[@mustir7667]

I've seen quite a few shops just slap the whole sheet on the inner and outer skins of the door. It's a way of them using more material to screw up the customer. I bought the bulk packs and did the deadening myself. Since I have didn't have an issue with added weight, I did the A,B,C pillars, inner and outer skins of all 4 doors and trunk, the complete trunk area and all the plastic trims, door cards etc including most of the parts of the dash too. But it was the best $$$ I've spent on a car that most people are confused about when they sit in. The front doors in particular weight the same as an armored SUV lol Keep it up

[@JBCTR]

Thanks mate 😃

[@VidNibs]

I’m planning to delete the head unit from my GR Yaris Circuit Pack and replace it with the OEM blank piece from the Japanese ‘RC’ variant. Do you know if this could cause any issues? Specifically, will the active noise control and fake engine sound still function, given that they have their own amplifier?

[@karlwilliams8208]

Congratulations on your hard work and achievement. 👍🏻

[@JBCTR]

Thanks Karl! Enjoyed this project 😎

[@karlwilliams8208]

If I lived in England I’d commission you to install a stereo in my GR.

Thanks!

[@nesertema4583]

are the foam mats closed cells? or did you found any way how to install them without being soaked up with water after a rain?

[@steffydog]

Another fab video, cheers.

[@chriscuthbertson]

If you do decide to build some A-pillar pods, then add a set of AV 3.0 mids and run the front end 3-way. Having more of the midrange up higher on the dash and away from the doors will help the sound stage no end.

[@JBCTR]

I had thought of this, but that's a lot of speakers on the A pillar in a small car... I wonder if it would look a bit odd!

[@Valee-oj4du]

Do you by any chance have the code of the original amplifier wiring? I would like to buy it at the dealership and use that to make the connection. thank you

[@diegomucino8]

Would you say it was worth loosing the noise cancelling feature? This new soud system + mueffler, is a no brainer improvement in your opinion?

[@JBCTR]

To be honest, the removal of the sound cancelling was quite noticeable when I simply removed the module and went for a drive. Quite hard to compare directly as it took a little while to install all the dampening but I’d say it’s nearly as good now, but not quite. However I do now have super loud speakers to drown it out and also the exhaust. I like the new set up much more than with the sound cancelling.

[@diegomucino8]

@@JBCTR hi from Mexico! Thanks, that is what I wanted to hear before changing the exhaust and starting with the audio project. I appreciate your comment.

[@perils1400]

Very nice indeed matey. You certainly have more patience than I do these days. Well done 👍

[@JBCTR]

Haha, I enjoyed this one. There was less swearing than the wrapping!

[@dusanskulavik1878]

How did you delete fake engine noise from oem headunit?

[@JBCTR]

The engine noise is added in by the box under the drivers seat. By removing it, you remove the engine noise.

[@dusanskulavik1878]

[@sveeny]

Thanks for this awesome video! Is there anything I need to know regarding the A Pillar Trim removal?

[@JBCTR]

The top clip is a pig. There is a little tab underneath you have to release. So pull the pillar away and there is a second clip underneath on a tether.

[@sveeny]

@@JBCTR awesome, thanks so much for your quick response! this means, I need to start from above and then work my way down?

[@JBCTR]

@@sveeny Exactly that 👍🏼

[@sveeny]

@@JBCTR Thanks man. Going to install some new audio goodies tonight and this will certainly help! Subbed.

[@JBCTR]

@@sveeny enjoy!

[@chriscuthbertson]

I was about to say the non Forza amp would have been fine, they you said you fitted the Voce's in the front. Are you bridging any channels on the amp or have you left a couple free to add a sub later?

[@JBCTR]

The front woofers are bridged. The forza has pre-outs for a sub. So I’ll probably run that and a separate amp for a sub… if I go for it. It is tempting 🤣

[@stuartmulchinock9716]

[@tobywhite330]

Always the best DIY tutorials. Quick question I know you mentioned something similar in part 1 but do you know if I’d be score to run the front woofers with the original amp? Cheers also thought that I would let you know I hit the notification bell but didn’t get a notification for this from KZbin!

[@JBCTR]

Thanks mate! Annoying about the notification… you got YT notifications turned on for your phone? You can upgrade the woofers with the standard amp but the EQ coming from the OEM head unit seems to be tuned to get the best out of the (pretty poor) stock speakers. It may sound weird if you use aftermarket woofers without a signal processor.

[@tobywhite330]

@@JBCTR yes I have the yt notifications turned on, I think it’s just KZbin being KZbin tbh. 😂 Oh that makes sense so it’s best the change the amp to get the best out of the new speakers. Although I’m deaf in my right ear so would you think it’s a justifiable spend? Cheers for the reply btw :)

[@79blustone]

Just got a GR on order and I'm doing the rounds on here to find out worthy info. Definitely a little gem here but seems like a lot of work! But I get the feeling that you're dead pleased with it 👍

[@JBCTR]

Thanks mate. Yeah I’m over the moon with the new system. I could’ve spent a little more time making the mounts neater, but they’re hidden anyway!

[@simonb3891]

Looks like a great job. Was thinking of same amp for b&o fst, as I've already upgraded all the speakers. How do you find the sound with the engine running? Did you tune it with engine running? I find my car sound really good with engine off, but the engine notes/ bass ruin the audio sound.

[@JBCTR]

Thanks! Yup, same with most car audio unfortunately. I tuned it with the car running, but obviously not moving. You do lose a bit of the bass when it’s on the move. I may consider a sub for that reason.

[@macphersontube]

Thanks for the video, really well described and informative, look forward to seeing more of your GRY content 👍

[@JBCTR]

Cheers Mike 😃

[@RGTNEREU]

Another great vídeo. So much to learn and do... Congrats

[@JBCTR]

Haha! Learning and doing is the fun bit ;)

[@RGTNEREU]

@@JBCTR is it possbile to "remove" only the engine sound in the interior through the OEM amp ?? Another question is: In Portugal as in Australia we've the Rallye version ( is the circuit pack included ) and doesn't have the navigation system. Is it possible to add that feature ??

[@JBCTR]

@@RGTNEREU unlikely to be able to add the nav (but you have CarPlay/android auto so kinda not an issue). You can remove the engine sound with apps like Carista, and program it out 👍🏼

[@popsbubbles1242]

Great job 👍

[@tsotsi5254]

Top job pal 🤙

[@JBCTR]

Thanks Piet!

[@DarkIzo]

i really believe it made a huge difference and for a daily driver thats a must have upgrader just kinda bummed out you didnt prepare wiring for a sub while you were in there so that you can easily plug n play at some point later

[@JBCTR]

The amp has RCA pre-outs and the battery is in the boot. So there wasn’t much need for pre-wiring!

[@vhol93]

06:48 WOW !!

[@JBCTR]

Yeah it makes quite a difference 👍🏼

[@jasondoulkeridis6202]

Great job! I would have liked to see you try the DSP and deadening with the stock speakers first, then upgrade the speakers and see which part made the most difference

[@JBCTR]

Thanks! I couldn’t really do that as the DSP is hooked up to the new speakers by new wiring so it was kinda and all or nothing situation! There wasn’t the option of running the DSP through the stock speakers without splicing wires.

[@jasondoulkeridis6202]

@@JBCTR true, I understand. I think I'm going to permanently delete the factory amp and try the method I said. I don't mind cutting off the plug all together as I have no plan to sell the car, and don't think that would be a negative thing if I had to anyway. Also why didn't you use the original amp 12v as the trigger? Was it constant instead of switching?

[@JBCTR]

@@jasondoulkeridis6202 I was trying to minimise the amount of pins taken from the plug. They’re really close together so it was just easier to take it from elsewhere. Buttt, thats a very traditional way of installing. I didn’t need a remote wire at all as the amp is intelligent enough to detect when music is playing and turn on. It wasn’t like that last time I did an install 🤣

[@jasondoulkeridis6202]

@@JBCTR lol likewise. I've had a pair of phoenix gold elites sitting in my living room NIB for years.... I don't know if I'll ever get around to using them. That's how long it's been since I've done a proper install. You did a good job on the yaris, and helpful information about the amp under the seat. Cheers.

[@Glorious117]

you can remove that 8,5kg by getting a lithium battery

[@dank9058]

Bet that sound proofing did nothing lol

[@JBCTR]

The sound proofing was almost as transformative as the stereo. Genuinely. Even with the stereo off, it reduces road noise and makes the doors feel more solid when you close them.

[@dank9058]

@@JBCTR oh really?? Didn’t think it would do much to be fair upgrading mine at the moment so will invest in some

[@richardpowell723]

👍

[@Stringwar]

A lithium ion battery will give you that weight back.

[@JBCTR]

I had the same thought… and then I looked at the price of them!

[@Stringwar]

@@JBCTR Yeah they are super expensive. Lol. Looking forward to the next stage of your mods.... Suspension?...Seats?

[@JBCTR]

@@Stringwar I’m not sure yet. Not gonna lie.. I don’t have a modding roadmap or anything. Literally upgrading stuff as it takes my fancy lol.

[@Stringwar]

@@JBCTR Well it's cool to watch. I've got a convenience pack coming Oct. Going to put 19 inch Bronze Sparco Assetto Garas on, 25 mm lower and exhaust to start with. Probably keep it until I'm forced into an EV. I might add the LSDs further down the line (I know they are mega expensive to retro fit), I'm sure a few circuit pack cars will get written off.

[@alanmay7929]

A lifepo4 battery would be cheaper

[@garryclayton2001]

Excellent video Johnny! I just have one tiny question which could aid others looking to fit a slightly better front door speaker without going into the complexities of making spacers, or stripping the back out. Do you know the depth and diameter of the lightweight speaker you removed? I just like the idea of adding a bit of sound deadening and a slightly better grade door speaker. Much appreciated.

[@JBCTR]

I don't know the exact dimensions but you'll need to make adapters for any aftermarket speaker as I'm not aware of any direct fitment products. You could perhaps use the JBL speakers from the convenience pack but that would require some wiring changes. Also worth noting that the stock system is tuned to make the most of the (pretty poor) stock speakers. If you upgrade them without changing the EQ, it may sound a little odd! That said, simply adding the deadening with the stock speakers is still likely to make a noticeable difference on its own.
