Found your channel yesterday and you're convincing me to get one of these instead of the ST I was looking at.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Haha what you going for then pal 😂

[@AdamNRG316]

@@JustbeingHayden not 100% sure yet mate. Got a couple of months to decide but as it stands, I'm leaning slightly towards the VXR.

[@stuartdavidsonR36]

What ST you thinking of going for?

[@B17WJJ]

Sick video as always mate 👌

[@themitch011]

Have the exact same vxr man so it’s sweet watching your vids!

[@JustbeingHayden]

❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@NeoX473]

This just might be a new thing for my astra Sri! I got those wind deflectors too btw, look well mint. Keep up the content Hayden! Killing it dude!

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks a lot man glad you like the channel

[@badboi162]

You need to tape up spade connectors ASAP mate as will touch and either blow speaker or head unit fuse

[@bazk7442]

I’m hoping this was just missed from the footage

[@S55M3]

Love you videos bro

[@alansmith72]

Regarding your speakers wiring: Speakers have a positive and negative side. Twin speaker cable is normally marked, either one wire with a stripe or one wire with a raised bump. It always used to be that the stripe was positive but some companies use it as negative. If you are electrically minded you can use a multi meter to check the continuity of the wires from the head unit. If not use a wiring diagram or Google to find out which wire is which on your car (each side may be different). Although speakers will work which ever way you wire them, if you wire them up wrong they will be out of phase. Being out of phase can drastically affect sound quality, including a loss of base, especially on amplified systems. This is why you sometime see a phase switch on a subwoofer. Disconnecting the head unit or the battery (which you did) isn't a bad idea as shorting out the speaker cable can blow the output stage in the head unit or pre-amp if one is fitted. To finish, wiring speakers is easy but make sure possitve goes to possitve, and negative to negative. Always check and never assume the colours or stripes. Thanks for the upload.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks for the message pal

[@stuartcampbell4414]

Keep em coming bro

[@CarlDavid1290]

Smashing it as always buddy!

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thank you brother 🙏

[@mattc_82]

Top video mate your becoming a pro 👌🏼😉 what you done with the old speakers you took out?? 🤔

[@razza9000]

You're keeping the videos nice and engaging man! Wish you were doing all this to a fiesta st or something so I could do it all directly to mine haha. Keep it up bro

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks man who knows a fiesta st might be next 👍🤷🏼‍♂️

[@razza9000]

@@JustbeingHayden ah man thatd be mad, I'd trust you'd make it dankkk 😍

[@JustbeingHayden]

Yeah boy lets do it 💪🏼

[@themadgamer9831]

I’m literally getting a SXI for my first car coz I can’t afford the VXR or SRI with insurance and stuff and I can’t wait to do all these mods

[@JustbeingHayden]

👊👊👍

[@erikfidel]

Nice one mate

[@Dan_AYP]

Nice intro man! Like the track as well, went really well! @ 3:48 you should have asked your kid for a hand though! 😉😁👍

[@JustbeingHayden]

I know man 😂 he’s useless tho

[@zElitezT]

Loved the video mate

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks man

[@zElitezT]

@@JustbeingHayden no worries 👊

[@linassamsonas1626]

With connectors you can solder them a bit for better connection. For wiring you can pull out stereo and look onto the case for wiring to see where is + where is - for particulary side of the speaker pair.

[@outsider427]

Thanks Hayden, i just picked up a Corsa Vxr Arctic and the speakers sound worse than my van... so i shall be changing them and your video will come in handy i'm sure aint that much diffrence from the Corsa and the Astra?... Oh and i would love to watch you attacking it blind and learn from your mistakes lol, Cheers Mate.

[@JustbeingHayden]

No worries man glad I can help and nah wouldn’t of thought so should be the same pal 👍

[@JayDidThis]

This is definitely something I need to do with mine! 👏🏻 for the wiring id use heat shrink or if not that, at least insulation tape wrapped around them individually, it's good practise and better safe that sorry, don't want them shorting out 👍🏻

[@trevorbennett3268]

Yes Hayd I'm a Solihull/Birmingham Lad Fan of the channel .... You represent our area well I've got a 2012 astravan XP thinking about upgrading speakers in doors or an underseat sub Would you recommend them pioneers you fitted? Does it make a big difference ?

[@boosteddlife]

Hayden instead of cutting the speaker wiring connector off use the electrical spade connector it will be secured on the terminals that is how I will do it when I have the money for a project car and upgrading the speakers

[@max-rf6fm]

If your thinking of upping the bhp, you need to look at upgrading the m32 bearing on the gearbox as it gets shredded over 300bhp. Nice video again pal 👍

[@dezontk101]

Not really, regular oil changes are key.

[@Luki1060]

Hayden, just a bit of advice for the crimps, always double over the cable to offer a better grip to the surface area. Good work but mate

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks dude 👍💪🏼

[@bigdog7585]

Hi ya do you no what to get to back speakers in car like ur but sxi I can work out how to get to them

[@lewispapworth1786]

Just a word of advice, the red crimps are for 1-1.5mm cable and the blue crimps are for 1.5-2.5mm cable, you should really double the cable over for the bigger crimps 👍

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks dude

[@prasannalucenzo9124]

Are those speakers are good mate ? I Wanted to change my Astra speakers

[@dan.roberts]

Heat shrink or just use some electrical tape to cover exposed metal to avoid shorting

[@chrisrobinson7395]

What size are the rear speakers in the h vxr

[@sweeneyrs4644]

hey man nice vids, wouldnt push over 300hp on a astra tbh bro its mainly the torque which is the issue im running 300hp / 400ft i think

[@kidcowdy1231]

Just had a speaker die in my h, was looking at this exact upgrade kit, How did it sound? Did you notice any improvement with a standard head unit?

[@JustbeingHayden]

Yeah it seemed a bit better mate can’t knock it for a few quid

[@liviumarian29]

Hayden, look at standard speaker and u will see it has a rubber seal all around the back, the after market adaptor does not so u might end up with water leaking inside the car if u are unlucky

[@JustbeingHayden]

Cheers for the heads up pal 👍

[@ammaaraay5845]

I’ll buy ur passenger side speaker as mine has popped 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 from brum so could pick them up

[@JustbeingHayden]

No probs man

[@ammaaraay5845]

How much just for the passenger side speaker

[@xDavx90]

Hey Man! Did you changed the rear speakers? Nice vid, keep it up buddy!

[@JustbeingHayden]

Nah mate only the front ones 👍

[@stuartcampbell4414]

I so want ur channel to work pal...I love all the noises u make it crackes me up man.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Haha thank you very much 👍👍👍

[@mabskha7917]

Another quality vid dude . But you need to start talking into the lens lol instead the screen bro. But either your on your way up

[@nikolagajic4599]

Can you upload a video showing how to remove / change the rear speakers?

[@JustbeingHayden]

I don’t have the car anymore 😂

[@LMCB10]

You could use some heat shrink over the crimps...neaten it all up and no metal exposed then

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks fella

[@bounce2898]

Yh watch out for the wires short circuiting but other than that good job pal.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks pal I’m new to wiring haha 😂

[@davidegrline3958]

hi, can I put, in the back doors, 16cm speakers instead of 13cm speakrs?

[@JustbeingHayden]

I’m note sure you’ll have to do your research dude

[@GavstarLeo]

I would had put some electrical tape around each spade to stop them hitting each other and maybe causing damage

[@jordancaddy2537]

Are these speakers any good? Need new on my speakers have blown..

[@JustbeingHayden]

Yeah they are decent they are supposed to be better than standard with an aftermarket head unit mate 👊

[@domdom-pq1uk]

What's the size of the rear speakers on astra vxr h 2011

[@gezak4778]

I think 13cm

[@02081974Andy]

Really think a go pro would help your videos mate, get a head or and a chest mount, easy to show what your doing so therefore better for the viewer. Keep going mate.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Yeah I get you mate might put it on a head mount and use the other camera 🎥. Just find my main camera has better quality man 👍

[@wahash316]

So how's the sound like with the new speakers ?

[@dezontk101]

The one and most important missing biy of information 😆

Wiring a subwoofer for next video 🤲

320 on a hybrid turbo change ko4 with fmi crossover delete nevlock stem seals as i think you have blue smoke. also alloy radiator keeps things cool ansu fuel pump. rnd inline fuel filter. also delete intank fuel filter very easy done delete. if you have some way i can send you photos of my engine bay of what mods ive done and also how i deleted the fuel filter. as they are bad. soon as i put the new fuel filter on the inline fuel line on the fuel rail then delete the fuel filter ran it on standard fuel pump my god it shifted. then desided to put the ansu fuel pump and god it flys now so if you need any help hook us up. keep up all the good work

[@GavstarLeo]

On my Astra H I get terrible wind noise when travelling at 70mph through the door near the rubber seal anyone else have this issue? I'm going to buy some rubber seal and stick to it the door to try and secure it even more and hopefully block out the air noise 🤛🏻

[@JustbeingHayden]

Could be the issue pal

R you going to do the back ones?
