How to remove rear deck dash speakers in Toyota Corolla 2012 - 2016

[@joycemac6377]

This worked for my 2018 Corolla rear speaker replacement. Follow the procedure as told by this video .Yes this a lot of work to get to the speakers,but you will be fighting and breaking clips that are important to reassemble !!! I tried to do it the easy way without removing seats and other stuff and quickly learned I was wrong. If your working on a beater and it does not matter what the reassemble looks like then go the easy and rip it apart! Thanks for taking the time to create a great how to video !!!!!!!!

[@theofficialvontae]

That’s too much nevermind I’ll buy a new car 😭

[@christiangastin4229]

Rob ......you have shown the safest way to remove rear deck dash , wow that has been greatly appreciated I had to help a dear friend of mine remove the rear window tint because it completely bubbles out and it would not pass registration , with your help I was able to remove the tint and the adhesion as well and that took me the best part of four hours and that would have cost her a fortune , from down under in Sydney Australia my deepest gratitude Thank you

[@dank9288639]

is it really necessary to take out the whole back seat? or can you leave them in and just fold them down and remove the panels starting from the bottom of the door frame and work your way up?

[@trexinvert]

Thanks for the info. I followed everything "except" doing anything in the trunk. I left all the crap in my trunk and just folded down the seats. You can easily unbottom the flaps behind each seat. Just saved me the hastle of entirely cleaning out my car. The only reason I think you "should/need" to have access through trunk is if you need to drill holes into the steel rear deck. (you would have to lie on your back and drill upwards). I was going to do that, but then I found some adapter spacers with holes for both the new 6x9's and existing M10 bolt down. Keep on.

[@jonathantenorio8829]

Careful with the airbag sensor not mentioned in this video. Its connected to the top of the rear deck trim it's a connector sensor that will turn off your airbag if you remove it. This cost me some money to fixed. The video didnt say anything about it

[@kennethcarroll4994]

What do you need to do with the sensor , can you leave it hooked up or ? I'm getting ready to do my daughter's 2016 Corolla rear speakers.

[@scotthuguley9867]

Overall Good video, but removing the rear seats is completely unnecessary, I just folded the seat backs down. For the life of me I have no clue why anybody would remove the seats.

[@piposarcade]

Wait a minute, you need to disassemble half the car to change the speakers, please !!!

[@Toyotaelectrotech]

You don't actually have to take the back seat out. You can sneak the side panels past everything. But you do need to remove 3 panels. 2 side and the big rear one. What they are doing is the correct way so not to damage anything.

[@charlesbellino4359]

It doesn't involve that much please!!!! I know I've done it!!!

[@Edweirde]

@@charlesbellino4359 What does it involve? Have to get to the speakers to remove glass from broken rear window! help!

[@nurulazim9244]

Thanks for the great video. I bought a seat cover from amazon and could not install it because the bench is hooked with a bolt. Your video help me to do it myself and saved $50.

[@dank9288639]

so I ended up doing it without having to take the seats out at all lol

[@tacotunes]

Thanks for the feedback. WE remove the seats to protect them from damage. Taking the seats out only takes a few minutes and minimizes chances of damage to seats. Also, it gives us access to run subwoofer wiring.

[@34carots]

dank9288639 how do you do it?

[@dank9288639]

Brendan Henderson you first start with the trim by the back doors on both sides then you take the door seal off a bit. Then you will remove the next panel up which is the bigger one on the side of the back seat do that on both sides. Then you will be left with the upper panel(grey) on both pillars remove them. Next you will put both the back seats down after that you will remove the top cover that covers the 6x9s don't forget to pull up the 4 clips first. I used my hand to start the panel off and it popped right off don't forget to disconnect any connections in your way of pulling the panels. AMD don't forget to put them back at the end lol

[@youandiryan]

I just roughly installed a powered sub in my 2016 Corolla. But I want to redo it properly. Jesus Christ it's a lot of work just getting to the speakers..

[@dank9288639]

@Daniel Bea the seats dont rattle it's the rear deck! Its thin as a coke can lol I sound deadend both the top and the bottom of it. Also put some on the plastic cover itself and it stops the rattles in the back completely. Don't forget to get a dynamat license plate cover for the rear because that thing rattles like no other

[@Bradleys_fishing_adventures]

How Toyota made it so you are required to take it somewhere and run up your bill if you are not mechanically inclined

[@christopherdrew1602]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

[@mafosa8519]

Hey.. how come you didn’t take out the motor?..

[@DJENERGY210]

You still on a 2016 toyota corolla take the folding seats out due to bottom side panels and get the seat belt out even that's on that year of car then the rest is easy to pop off on the fold down seats are 2 screws each so a total of four just pull back the carpet of the seat and they are right there don't loose those screws

[@marcoscalderon9648]

do i have to remove the seats and everything to just get to the rear speakers?

[@roboutot4839]

My 2012 Toyota Corolla speaker broke and i'm pissed about removing everything. I hope it will work.

[@ricoinsanity5713]

Wooow...all this to get to rear speakers,just upgraded front ones in doors,miss old days when you pop trunk and speakers where right there

[@ricoinsanity5713]

@@kyleritchie862 I got kickers in front,and I upgraded head unit dasaita 10" inch android,look ut up on Amazon,very nice head unit,easy to install too.

[@josephblurton3793]

Can I also get to the trunk light wires this way. Mine don’t work and would like to fix it

[@masterace1150]

So I have to strip half the car before getting to the speakers?

[@AnxiusOne]

What size are those speakers in the back?

[@FedericoPace-w5w]

6x9

[@crazytech5755]

I literally replaced mine taking nothing out but the side panels, wasn't hard. And really, if you MUST TAKE OUT a seat, only need to do the top parts.

[@aesop2020]

Is it true that most after market 6x9's don't fit, or that I will have to drill holes? From some other videos it looks like Toyota places that metal plate around the stock speaker, so after markets don't line up with the correctly.

[@sirwhitecrayon2499]

TacoTunes makes 11th Gen Corolla aftermarket adapters for both 6x9 and 6.5".

[@drpiv]

Great video, thank you.

[@mjuhanil]

That is insane

[@memer_4013]

what size are the rear speakers

[@pi3zza]

6x9. But you need a vehicle pacific adapter plate for 6x9 Speakers for it to mount properly

[@EmoryRichardson]

Does anyone know if everything is the same for a 2019 corolla?

[@jennypleze3167]

Why take the seat off if your just trying to get to the speakers?

[@FedericoPace-w5w]

Lo hago todo el tiempo sin retirar los cojines no es necesario trabajar el doble

[@ptgfern4588]

Damn, all that for 2 cheap lil 6"x9"s lol I'll wait a little while I think. Need to do the doors though for sure

[@xclavex]

So basically, you have to disassemble the entire back end of the car just to get to the speakers...wow.

[@rocksince64]

I will leave mine stock

[@viddy228]

Stock one are made out of paper material and are crappy..

[@Marty31636]

Sure miss the old days when you just popped them out from the trunk. Ohh no let's bury them in 300lbs of plastic!

[@lauravillafranca4448]

Shouldn't I be worried about the curtain airbags?? 😐 I'm a little bit scared. Must confess haha

[@danieldelatorres6521]

step1. disconnect battery terminal. this way airbags do not deploy.

[@RogerBrenon]

When it comes to actual car design, Japanese car makers DON'T HAVE A CLUE and Toyota is by far the WORST when it comes to any type of customization or getting to something to fix it.

[@ranjah76]

Why did you even do all that?!

[@thetruth5672]

Wow that's all to change the speakers. He dismantled half of the car to take out the speakers. Huhhhhh

[@muhittinc.8667]

Toyota speakers and touch2 toys. :) :)

[@anthonybasile5035]

No reason to remove the seats

[@luisareyes5886]

Jjyo. I

[@Agent_Duck659]

WOW! Wtf I just bought a '13 Corolla with blown rears, wonder why they were never replaced!!! Toyota you are kidding me

[@ahmednohad3373]

[@FedericoPace-w5w]
