EASY SOUND SOLUTION DIY FOR THE NEW SUPRA! (Stereo Audio Fix For A90, A91 Supra)

[@ThicWhips]

UPDATE: I installed the speaker mesh and dynamat, it made a massive difference all together. I did end up lifting the bass a bit on my equalizer. It felt a little flat with the way the equalizer was set previously. Overall, a great DIY. 10/10 recommended!

[@risosi8092]

I have been waiting foreveeer for someone to do this, are you going to upload a video on how to add the mesh & dynamat?

[@ThicWhips]

@@risosi8092 I can, but it is VERY easy. You just measure the rectangular area behind the speaker ports (5" x 4"), use two pieces of 3m on top and bottom and place it in there. It fits snug, wont go anywhere. For the Mat you just measure every area you want to cover and cut out the mat, and apply. Its basically a massive piece of adhesive. Real simple. But I can go over it in a future video for sure.

[@brandenr2881]

My only concern with doing this DIY is if the wires or if the speakers heat up it could possible catch the foam wadding on fire. I’m sure it won’t be an issue but that’s was something I was thinking about when I first heard of people doing this modification.

[@desi_supra2871]

I just did this equalizer setup last night in my Supra. Makes it sound so much better. Now I have no complaints about the JBL system. Not even gonna upgrade it. Thanks to the forum poster!

[@stephenmccusker352]

just did this to my 21 3.0 premium (followed everything to the letter), overall, decent improvement, nothing to really brag about. Certainly glad I did it, it was inexpensive and a fun DIY to do. Thanks for the Vid!

[@skywalk3x]

@ThicWhips this is why I fuck with you. I found this DIY months ago and thought it was too much work, so I bagged the project. Then you come along bang out the diy and made it look easy. I’m very handy and I’m gonna do this after the parts come in. Thanks you if I could sub again I would, mad love bro!

[@ThicWhips]

Do it bro you got that 👊🏽

[@camxiong]

You could instead buy black foam, that way you don't need to buy the mesh covers.

[@etjulien]

If I were JBL, I would have Toyota/BMW do this from the factory. Great video! Thanks!!!

[@ruslanbotsyurko9926]

Fun fact: had my doors sound isolated today at a specialist shop, upon dismanteling they found out that the speakers behinds those JBL meshes are just regular BMW speakers. Not that JBL was ever a HiFi brand, but why bother with the branding? :(

[@zoltanvarga4662]

thank you, just have finished and it worked, finally music listening is not a horrible experience in my supra. thanks so much for all your super intelligence and sharing the video manual

[@zoltanvarga4662]

i still had rattling noise behind the seat although much mess, discovered that the panels behind both seats are doing it. it even rattles by tapping them with hands… so removed the isofix lid and pushed as much isolation material as i could to them rigid. its all solid now and finally i all sounds nice, sound overall cleaner, bass became bid and deep and even added more on eq…and no rattles. finally. still wonder how come the smart toyota gr guys let this music system pass their internal qc process…

[@9ballprodigy]

Just did this tonight. Great mod. No vibrations or rattles. I don't know how you got 2 rolls in there. I used poly fil stuffing (the stuff that goes inside stuffed animals) and I could only get 3/4 of a bag in there.

[@Chris-ii2qu]

Just done this on mine and it's made a significant improvement all round. Easy job to do

[@MikeyPanic1]

How long did it take

[@Chris-ii2qu]

@@MikeyPanic1 I think about 1-2 hours. I was plodding though. It was really easy and definitely worth doing.

[@adithyashari]

Did you buy the 0.4 foam or 0.8?

[@Chris-ii2qu]

@adithyashari I can't remember now I'm afraid. I think I went for as big as I can as its compactable

[@sambrown8359]

This is going to be the first thing I do to my Supra. I like the HK/JBL system in my 340i and was a little concerned after seeing complaints about the JBL in the Supra. I did not like the solutions that included speaker replacements because the mounting hardware on the Supra speakers looks fragile. Glad I saw your video.

[@briansimpson5664]

Obviously us that have a GR supra know that the box naturally rattles quite a bit as well. Great idea and nice video

[@Kamryetar]

Glad ya made a video on this, I did it a couple months ago and I haven't looked back. If ya haven't seen already full screen Carplay is a thing now. it's pretty awesome too just my firmware updated last night.

[@jeminpatel1465]

How do you update your firmware?

[@Kamryetar]

@@jeminpatel1465 check the fourms, theres a couple good threads about it

[@jeminpatel1465]

@@Kamryetar You have to pay for this firmware update? Pretty sus

[@dylan-nguyen]

@@jeminpatel1465 that's normal. or take it to the dealer and pay 10x more your choice 🤷‍♂️

[@Kamryetar]

@@jeminpatel1465 yeah, dealers have been acting like the update doesn't exist either. best option is to get it done by someone else. especially if you're tuned

[@CookiesUnleashed]

I did this. MASSIVE difference

[@jamesblade911able]

Excellent, cheap, easy DIY solution! I wonder if anyone has used polyfill to stuff in the speaker box? Typically polyfill is what is used inside of speakers boxes to deaden an cause speakers to react as if in a slightly larger enclosure. I have used pollyfill in the past in OEM subwoofer enclosures with very notable success.

[@spta97vids97]

It looked like the speaker wadding actually blocked the existing "ports" (metal slots) in the box - is that correct or is the port elsewhere?

[@toasterpastry3083]

Just did this in my A90 and it was definitely worth it!

[@JulietActual]

Whoa. Sweetttt. I'm scared to do it myself. Can I just pay someone to do this for me😂🙈

[@vathrosable]

So thnx to you and the op, just did this today. Ya so much better! So I just clicked the sub button

[@marklinley815]

Same here. I see where people are using some foam padding under the trim piece. There is quite a bit of air moving that actually goes under the back padding carpet liner. Make sure to seal it off also. 11” on left in length and 6” on right about 1/2” wide should do the trick. Just my opinion.

[@robbaines72]

Are you completely stuffing the space with wadding or leaving a gap by the ports for the air to escape?

[@PistolFx]

if i just put in the foam and mesh will it make a noticeable difference. i do not want to drill through trim.

[@a91dan54]

i won’t do the holes due to me having bav sounds upgrade subwoofer and speakers, but the dynomat definitely helped with the phantom rattles i was having. It was horrible

[@muhammadabaad8923]

Is that kit even worth the money? I want to do it but some people say it’s not worth it

[@a91dan54]

its definitely worth it

[@Jmrmarc]

Will this still work without having to drill? So just filling in space with the mesh & foam?

[@johnmorrison8351]

What’s the track you’re playing?

[@johnmorrison8351]

Lol! Never mind.. Just finished the video 🤦🏻‍♂️ Cheers

[@hustlewestbrook3021]

I'll be saving this video to do soon. Thank you!

[@slayer6x247]

does that void the warranty disabling the fake exhaust sound?

[@jarrelshotya2573]

Did u get the 0.4 inch or the 0.8 inch foam cushion?

[@derickd.c3250]

Hey what's the update on the custom emblems? I might have missed it if you did give an update. I was hoping to order one before the show in Atlantic City.

[@KeepTheGod]

So how do u do this if your leasing one 😂 even tho the second year I’m going to buy mine out but I just can’t afford to buy it out rn so any ideas ?

[@nathanmcdaniel7715]

I mean, you could just order that trim part and modify it, then if you trade in you can just put the OEM trim part in. I doubt they will look for the extra foam and stuff but it’s removable.

[@CocoAndFriends2024]

Awesome. Thnx Thicc!

[@winther5]

The HK sound system in my 440i sounds amazing inside, but outside it's as if the car is falling apart. I stopped listening to music from the car when I'm tinkering with the car in the garage. Wish I could fix this....

[@buqueretrofittinganddetail6224]

Awesome bro

[@CRatcliffe]

Does this technically "void your warranty" if a tech happened to look to closely at the cut cover even though it looks oem? Not that I particularly care if it improves sound quality but I know how much of a pita dealers can be.

[@simivoy]

I don't see what can possibly break with this mod.

[@CRatcliffe]

@@simivoy neither do I but with how I've seen dealers act i wouldn't be surprised if, for example, the amplifier happened to give out and they try to blame excessive heat due to the filling material or some bs like that. I just use the amp as an example because my mothers 2010 had the amp from HK give out within 45k miles

[@mk5_3]

This has nothing to do with warranty, warranty can only be voided if this part damages any other part related to mechanical operation, for example, changing tires out of spec into slicks can be used to void your warranty as Porsche says it puts excessive strain on the transmission

[@69dugg]

Thanks for posting this! So the only difference between your method and the original was the speaker wadding right? Sometimes the panel on top near the sub grill (directly on top where your port is) vibrates for me and I have to hold it down to get rid of that noise.. you think that wadding would get rid of that? Excited to try this out!

[@simivoy]

The wadding and the foam will help a lot with the vibration.

[@wfujay3946]

If you look at the original forum thread, the guy pulled apart the subwoofer grills and put dollops of silicone adhesive along the undersides of the grill covers to completely eliminate those rattles. The wadding is mainly for reverberation elimination inside the box, not for the speaker grill rattles.
