Third Gen Camaro Project | Aftermarket Infinity Speaker Upgrade | Episode 9

[@NoBSBeardReviews]

Man, you’ve brought me back to my days of going to Circuit City and testing out all their speakers and subs and then agonizing on which setup to go with. Great video!

[@williamsinger4124]

No BS Beard Reviews I vividly remember circuit city and their boom room I called it. It was cool to go in there, close the door and try out each set in there. We had cool employees at ours who'd come in and tell me turn it up more lol

[@TJuice1986]

Something about watching these how to videos that’s really calming!

[@beardedreviews]

lol that ASMR effect

[@bryanyokofich5021]

I got my entire stereo system redone in my camaro a few months back. I got Kenwood everything and it sounds great! I hope all goes well with your stereo system

[@Bdacht]

Great video and tutorial bro. I remember back in my “speaker days “ all I wanted was kenwood 6/9 3 ways. Everyone I knew were getting them. Lol. ✊🏽👊🏽

[@beardedreviews]

haha I had a buddy with those in an old cutlass!!

[@Bdacht]

Bearded Reviews yessir lol 🔊

[@RedWolfgarage24]

Thanks for letting us hear what it sounded like before and after a******

[@beardedreviews]

there's not a huge difference in sound that you're going to be able to discern from a video clip. I'll do a before and after I install the subs and amp though. That one you'll be able to tell the difference

geto

[@jonowen9545]

I would love those speakers for my IROC!!!

[@elzorro426]

Man it's So great that you have these videos up, I just got me a 92 RS 25th Anniversary Camaro that I'm rebuilding and alot of the stuff I want to do to it you've already found and linked. And I greatly appreciate it.

[@Wilson_Racing]

I have Rockford Fosgate 4x6s in the dash of my '86 camaro and 6x9s in the back. It sounds amazing!

[@mikebrown7366]

I put Alpine 4x6 and 6x9 speakers in my iroc. Also a Kenwood head unit. Sounds way better than stock. Could still use a sub though.

[@beardedreviews]

yea letting your speakers do the mids and highs and letting a sub handle the lows really makes a difference!

[@mikebrown7366]

@@beardedreviews I'm thinking that the maib problem is that the speakers mounted behind the sail panels might be too close to the ear to develop lows. I've had much better luck in cars with rear deck (package tray) mounted speakers. It sounds good, but could sound so much better with more low bass response.

[@CamaroTime]

Nice video bud. Going to sound way better then factory. That is for sure!

[@beardedreviews]

yea they sound pretty good. And then when I amplify them they will sound amazing

[@clemmahabir]

Now lets hear mmm!! Nice speakers BTW good job on the install !!!🐙

[@beardedreviews]

I'm going to do some audio samples once I hook up the amp

[@marscounty]

"Circle" speakers aren't better. Usually 6x9s have more low end. But really it depends on the level you are buying and the spot they are mounted in. I wouldn't say Kicker speakers are cheap either. They make some budget speakers. As well as high end. I agree Infinity speakers sound nice. Good tutorial though. I really wish I could buy a third gen Camaro right. These videos are as close as I'm gonna get right now.

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I have heard both sides on whether it's better or not. I have no idea, just figured I would try it. And yea, I just randomly mentioned kicker. I actually like their slightly higher end stuff. I had their coaxials in my truck and loved it

[@chancewindham1718]

Kickers “high end” stuff can’t touch what infinity or Polk is putting out. As far as build quality and clarity st high volumes, they just fall short.

[@drjd2real]

@@beardedreviews You have to hear with your own ears. The 6x9 of what you have is better. Stop listening to what everyone says. I could tell you that those infinity sound like nothing compared to better speakers, but don't listen to me. I've ran the Kappa speakers and Kappa Perfects, components and Perfect subs and was not impressed.

[@rudeboy6096]

Thanks big guy,your videos are very helpful to me getting my gen 3 right.

[@cesarzuniga209]

I sprayed sound deadner instead of the dynamat worked out great 👍

No bro I love my trans am but is not a everyday drive Is more like a weekend car to enjoy the summer with the t-top off!

[@mikebrown7366]

If you're good with tools. Fuel pump and tpi fuel injector replacement might be required. It's not really hard, just time consuming to do it right.

[@sergeantspeed5941]

A new dash is going to be extremely hard to find. Good used examples cost roughly 300 bucks And dash caps are garbage

[@sergeantspeed5941]

I gave up on mine and just bought a dash pad.

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I just installed a dash pad

[@MasterChief-sl9ro]

I see them all the time in salvage yards. In good shape...

[@pbpyro5546]

I want the louvers!

UGGGG that damn tool.... lmao

[@beardedreviews]

it's the greatest tool ever invented I think :)

[@ItsRainingLemons]

Hi, I saw your IKEA table video and was wondering how the desk is holding up after 8 months. Thanks:)

[@1980sSinaloense]

How did these sound compared to the originals ?? Are they much louder and clear ??

[@ninji5226]

I got an 87 formula with dual 8in infinite subs in a sealed box (don't knock the 8's, everyone thinks I have 12's, no joke and the box fits perfect in the small trunk space) and have kicker speakers all around (mid level kickers). The kickers were on a steal of a sale otherwise I agree about infinite. My 6x9's have almost no bass so I'm adding fast rings to try and solve it before I upgrade to Infinite. There are a lot of gaps around the speakers though so I'm going to try flex seal in all the gaps to better seal the speakers. Is there a follow up vid for the sound? I'm wondering if the lack of bass is the brand or the mounting. I know my kickers aren't the top of the line but they are loud as hell and have good highs. Good vid.

[@killagt5870]

when you mounted the rear speacker you just gave it a good go with your electric-tool - did this with mine the same a few weeks ago and mine messed up the screw hole it just went in and kept turning :D and i was doing it softly by hand >.

[@PRS247]

nice video, but you didn't let us hear any before/after on the stereo/audio/etc.

[@beardedreviews]

yea, you wouldn't really hear a difference through camera audio besides when I amplify everything. Then you would be able to tell

[@DeadSexyAdamCheney]

In my 84 Camaro I went with Boston acoustics and I got the good ones according to the speaker heads and it sounds great.

[@1980sSinaloense]

Do you have any videos of how these sound compared to the stock ??!

[@GlassSandwichTV]

Did your quarter panels not come with an alcove of felt material to house the speakers? Mine did, just wondering if you removed it

[@Woodscraps-lr5vz]

Nice. Don't count me in for the parts though. Good info.

[@beardedreviews]

yessir! thanks for checking the video out

This work in 3rd gen Pontiac Firebirds to right?

[@1980sSinaloense]

How do these sound compared to the stock ? Also are they loud and have some base not too much because i like to be able to hear my music loud and not being stopped due to it having more bass

[@12urenda]

Did you need those adapters for the front speakers as well?

[@josephdavis4872]

Is it possible to put a 5x7's component speakers in dash to replace the 4x6 speakers?

[@beardedreviews]

It would be pretty difficult. I've thought about it, but I would have to hack into the dash quite a bit to achieve it

[@josephdavis4872]

@@beardedreviews I've mite go crazy put 6.5's Components in the dash. Mite go with either three brands of speakers the Hertz, JBL's or Infinity's. The doors will have two of pairs of component speakers sets for driver side and passenger and kick panels of component too and the rear the 6x9's components too.

[@josephdavis4872]

Forgot to mention add one more 6x9 component set in the hatch area.

[@beardedreviews]

@@josephdavis4872 Well if you do the dash speakers, let me know how it looks after and what all you cut out

[@elihandy1449]

Are the back panels mesh to allow sound or are they solid plastic

[@mikesanders2057]

Those Infinity speakers don't fit right in the dash. The one on the driver side has the duct work in the way. The magnet sticks out too much. I tried installing those last year. And I had to buy some Kicker ones instead.

[@joseespinal4513]

Any performance mods coming soon? Great content btw!

[@kalmahman48]

ive read that those 4x66's have clearance issues , did you run into any??

[@beardedreviews]

With the infinity, I made a spacer out of MDF for the bottom of the speaker to mount more flush to something, but they didn't have any clearance issues on the top or the mounting holes or anything

[@matthewgonzalez2360]

How do you get it to slide out? I took out all the screws and it seems to be suck.

[@beardedreviews]

did you try prying under the speaker lip?

[@rickrenfro4694]

the magnets on the 4x6,s were too big right

[@BrianTrimble]

Dude I hope you staggered the sensitivity of the fronts to the rears?

[@beardedreviews]

lol well I'm not an audio expert, so I don't really have any idea what that means. Help me out here lol

[@BrianTrimble]

Bearded Reviews No problem man😝 the 4*6 speakers you chose have a sensitivity of 95db so they are probably really bright? Right? With the huge front window and dash you are going to get a lot reflections which will make it even brighter. When I set my 92 up many eons ago I purchased speakers that had a 3db difference in sensitivity to give the car a built in "hardware" audio profile that would allow your rears to be heard a lot clearer and not be overpowered by the fronts. I think it will also make tuning your setup a lot easier. Also, unless you are going for high SPL levels and not music clarity, you only need one 10" or 12" sub. IMHO Great work and thanks for the awesome content!

[@RonSavage01]

Did the subs rattle the hell out of your louvers?

Are you going to keep the head unit or go aftermarket? I have a 91 camaro and my back passenger 6x9 speaker only crackles (I believe it’s the head unit because they are new speakers) and I was wondering what you had planned for a replacement! Thanks!

[@camaromike82]

THIS. You NEED to run an aftermarket head unit to get any decent performance out of these speakers.

How did you get those in the front? Ordered the same speakers and had to return as they did not fit in my 91 Camaro.

[@beardedreviews]

hey what's up, yea so the driver side one is much harder to get in than the passenger one, but I got some quarter inch MDF board and a jigsaw and cut a little spacer out of it to prop the speaker so it would fit snug

[@chris1le]

Nice. I wound up putting some Pioneer 4x6 three ways in. Look forward to rest of your build.

[@waynet3454]

Hi I was wondering the same thing as I have been looking around and finding nothing good fits in there. Is the MDF used to get the magnet to fit around the air duct?

[@robertdowell6966]

How are the 64cfx they loud

[@jayrotterman355]

aye brother i have question about your speakers. I own an 82' with the stock delco speakers but they're blown. I was going to cop the kappas on your recommendation but i wanted to check you about it first. I'm not an audiophile either, i just want some descent sound and solid bass. anyway my question is did you grab those because your putting in subs? is the sound proper without them? cause I'm not really interested in doing that to my trunk but i still need some good loud strong bass.

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I don't think you would get much low end out of them unless you put a 4 channel amp and pumped some power into those 6x9s. You could get some pretty decent low end with an amp on them, but with the amp in the head unit, I doubt you would get much bass
