Giving my Cheap Corolla a Lexus Sound System!

[@IanSan98]

Definitely the biggest sound insulation results I saw on mine were doing the whole trunk, it removed the road echoing effect when going on the freeway. Truly amazing what you’ve done to the corolla!

[@BrandonStellmach]

My trunk is going to be soon! I bet that’s is where most my exhaust sound is coming from as well! I already notice a decent difference with the doors!

[@dogfoodlid6182]

the putty is meant to be put under the mounting screws as an airtight seal pretty much what you did with the foam.

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s good to know! I was looking at it, and had no idea!

[@Mrnintro2]

That Cheap Corolla is beautiful in my opinion

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! It has been a work in progress!

[@shahrozalijafri8816]

Only in america where that corolla is called cheap

[@BrandonStellmach]

😂 in the US, the civics and Corollas are considered lower end cars, which makes them fairly cheap compared to many other cars on the road!

[@BC_CARS]

Guys, coming from someone who bought Skar 6.5s and 6x9s, just don’t. Save up and actually get good speakers. Their subs are hit or miss and their amps use accent tech but I was seriously unimpressed with their TX series speakers. Saved up and got some Sony ES speakers and holy crap those things were amazing. Wish I had those things even now.. much more accurate, bass is tight with the perfect touch of warmth, mids n highs were on point and not ear piercing sharp. Clear, a hint of warmth, tight n accurate. Not the most expensive but certainly not cheap either. Very much a quality upgrade over the Skar speakers. But at the end of the day in car audio, if your having fun that’s all that matters, I’m just a smol SQ audio snob

[@BrandonStellmach]

For the price the Skars they seem to be great so far! I will see about longevity! I had some JBL speakers in my last car, and these honestly sound just as good for about 1/3 the price! Maybe I might try some Sonys if these start giving me any issues!

[@BC_CARS]

@ it’s a dangerous world for ya wallet lol once you start watching pssound it’s a rabbit whole that keeps on going

[@YungSteambuns]

I wanted to boost our 2010 corolla s but ended up just getting a 99 gs400 for $2k 300hp/310tq, 4.0l V8, rwd, toyota reliability, dual climate control, premium sound system, leather heated seats, traction control button, sport/snow mode, shift buttons on the steering wheel, hid auto leveling headlights, don't have to deal with a turbo which is amazing and the engine is easy 300k+ miles reliability sure it is almost 1000lb heavier but it's worth it for the luxury and the v8 is truly amazing, it just keeps pulling past 135mph don't get me wrong the corolla has amazing handling for what it is and I like the compact size still but for what you get for that money just didn't make it worth it in my books, love the build though

[@BrandonStellmach]

Honestly that’s a steal of a deal! If I could have choose between the 2 I would have picked the Gs400 as well! Got plenty of power, and all the luxury features that the corolla does not have! I appreciate you watching the build!

[@bassdrop4420]

the foam around the speaker is supposed to be used on the front of the speaker to couple the speaker to the door card to aim the sound bette!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s good to know and makes sense!

[@bassdrop4420]

@BrandonStellmach also the large foam plug is to be installed directly behind the speaker in the door, and you should have gotten a deep one that helps to couple the speaker to the plug! If you have enough dampner to do the whole door you will get so much more out of your front stage. And just some food for thought if you decide to do a component speaker set up front make sure the tweeters are as far forward and as close as possible aimed to the center of the roof! It will dramatically increase the sound staging and will be amazing also!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@bassdrop4420these are all great tips! I appreciate it! I definitely did not know that about the foam. I thought it was just universal and just sat behind the speaker! I plan to go back and upgrade the tweeters, I just did not find a good replacement yet, but will take your tips into consideration when I do upgrade them!

[@thecman26]

Just watch Dean and Fernando install door speakers with fast rings.

[@JOHN-ZOV]

Dude, that's the same color Corolla I have. I switched my tweeters with Skar. They have a nice kit that made it easy to install. Almost plug and play.

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! I will have to take a look for those tweeters, didn’t know Skar made any!

[@jeffsaunders2778]

Powerbass OE65C-TY component set. Vehicle specific plug and play replacements that actually sound good for the $$. Tweeters fit the stock location perfectly. Also mounted a GM specific set in a friends truck. So easy compared to trying to mount a conventional component set. Didn't sound deaden the truck like the Corolla, but it was still a very noticeable improvement.

[@BrandonStellmach]

It’s amazing what just upgrading the speakers can make a big difference! And the sound deadening definitely makes a difference as well!

[@tctunerky]

Besides u banging the rear speaker off the glass that’s a nice DIY and also using a factory gutted speaker as an adapter if u don’t have one is very common don’t let “installers” bust ur balls over a DIY video. Good job dude 🤘

[@BrandonStellmach]

👀 you were not supposed to see that part! 😂 But I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Yet another upgrade I need to do to my 03 Corolla CE 😢

[@BrandonStellmach]

This is definitely a great upgraded especially if you daily drive your car, and listen to the radio! And maybe cost about $200 with the speakers and plugs!

[@user-pwfus]

Install an amp on your rear 6x9's they pump real loud trust.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I will definitely have to look into getting one!

[@chatobalencian1504]

Nice Corolla what year is that nice install as well I think u should have put better speakers for sound and longevity of speakers as well but great vid

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! As for the year, it is a 2010. I have heard good things about these speakers and for the price I cannot complain. But we will see the longevity of them!

[@barrymonroy7138]

I don't understand why you didn't get speaking brackets for the front doors 😕

[@BrandonStellmach]

From all the reviews I read on the front mounts. Some said they worked and many said they didn’t. So reusing the front mounts worked perfectly!

[@franciscoleiva5187]

Stick in 4 channel amp. Proper wats. I got a 5 channel amp for my R series alpine and sounds beautiful

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have been thinking about adding an amp to compliment the speakers! Might be something I add in the future!

[@big_birdo356]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three T66 turbos with NOS, and a MOTEC Exhaust System.

[@BrandonStellmach]

👍 👍

[@lolwhodis7817]

Can you replace speakers one at a time? Or is it better to replace them all at once? My rear speakers are blown so i would rather just replace those lol

[@BrandonStellmach]

I would recommend atleast replacing them in sets. So if you want to do the rears first that should be fine. And eventually do the fronts.

[@romans116notw]

How many kilmat sheets did you use on each door??

[@BrandonStellmach]

I would estimate about 2-3 sheets per door. Depending on how tight you try to get in every corner.

[@stilllmkp]

can you show your traction control button more in these video

[@BrandonStellmach]

I am not sure I understand? Do you want to see the actual button next to the steering wheel?

[@jahbrony3650]

dude can you link me to the car seat covers?!

[@BrandonStellmach]

The seat covers are from Clazzio. I installed them in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGmxi2iPbJWhZrM

I got them from safety restore! You need to send in your old ones and they will send the color replacement within a week! Here is the video I installed them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGmxi2iPbJWhZrM

[@RicardoPCGamer]

I have Skar TX speakers in my car. They have too much midrange in my opinion. They definitely sound better using the hi pass filter on the RP75.4 amp.

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s good to know! I plan on adding an amp to the setup soon! But I do have to say these sound much better than the stock speakers did!

[@RicardoPCGamer]

@@BrandonStellmach I'm sure they do lol. I have TX65's all around and 2 SDR 10's. Running RP1200.1 and RP75.4 amps. 0 gauge OFC wire and a ground straight to the sub frame of car. Also I have a fused distribution block for both amps. I'll post a link to show you everything and some body flex and what it sounds like. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JHw0Yq1Qb8SaeGS8jVMn8DdPl5ungKMC

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Nice, I just went through this on my ct200h. I'm looking into the alpine kta-450 amp but I'm not sure if you need it if you have an aftermarket unit. I just want to keep my factory head unit.

[@BrandonStellmach]

An amplifier would definitely help even with an after market radio. I might add one in the future to my setup!

[@Categxry5]

I need the link for the sound dampening and the foam please 🙏

I have Skar all around the car. Cheapest best sounding speaker IMO.

Totally agree! Been using these for the past couple weeks and they sound great!

Why skar do Jl audio

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have never used skate before, and they seemed to be a great price! I have never heard of JL Audio. I will have to look into them and maybe try some on another one of my cars!

[@BASHFILE]

should amp the speakers

[@BrandonStellmach]

Definitely something I plan to add in the future!

[@reneshbissoon]

bro shldnt be talking when he sees these 141 Corollas from Trinidad and Tobago 😱😱🙂‍↕🙂‍↕🤣

[@BrandonStellmach]

😂 I bet they have much bigger and better setups than this! This is just a small upgrade to the stock speakers!

[@LightyMiner]

Lmao to you, it's a cheap Corolla. To me, it's a car I would love to own. Cars in europe are so friggin expensive, it drives me nuts. I have a total shitbox of a car for 3K and that would get me something nice in the USA

[@BrandonStellmach]

😂 here is the US, the Toyota Corolla and Honda civics are considered low end cars. Which than makes them much cheaper then many other cars!

[@michaelclement5255]

Ok…………..sorry dude. I quit watching as soon as you cut up the factory speaker to use for a mount instead of just buying the correct one!!!! That is the biggest installers no no that there is. I was afraid to see what the rest of the video had. If you’re going to do the job…………do it correctly!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

I appreciate you watching the video! Even if you didn’t watch the whole thing. If you know the corolla platform, there is not any good options for brackets on the front, so reusing them not only saves me the DIYer money, but works just as good as the factory one did! If you did continue watching, you would see the rear speakers I used a set of mounts that work great!

[@btv4083]

My first time seeing his video or channel and if you’re such of the expert than watch the bigger builds and quit crying with people that are trying or show your system and shut your mouth
