[jc32750]

Thank you for making this video. It helped and now my wife's car speaker covers look good. Keep up the good work.

[Blackitty71]

Thanks! I was able to fix mine! so happy!

[zuruleto]

thank you brother

[nvrrmore]

THANK YOU! The dealer wanted to charge me about $1000 to replace the entire back panel because "they don't make just the speaker covers." THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

[post1mark]

Thanks for making the video; it gave me the confidence to make this repair myself. Followed your video step-by-step - went like a charm. Looks great, thanks!

[davinp]

What you can do to prevent sun damage, is to put a cover on the rear

[davinp]

Dealers charged allot for labor

[crocusofnod]

I would not have fixed my speakers without your help. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[niggataytay300zx]

@crocusofnod You are very welcome!

[PimpmyCPU]

there are screws underneath to remove the grill :D

[niggataytay300zx]

@PimpmyCPU I'll have to look into this

[pody576]

Hey man, I really appreciate NOT having to do the procedure (three pages) the way Toyota wanted me to do it. I would have had to remove the front bumper and the shift lever doing it their way.

[jayvee2]

To help push the "pegs" through the deck cover, I took a piece of 1/8 inch steel rod and bent one end at a 90 degree angle with the short part of the rod about 1/2 inch. Using the side of a hammer, and holding the tip of the short end against the peg, one good whack and down it went!

[shelvdas]

Thanks. Helpful video.

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks for all the appreciation everybody! I never thought this video would make it to 28,000 views.

[marklpc]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video! It made this job a LOT easier.

[Domitila89147]

Thank you so much. Very helpful video.

[simoamine111]

thanks a lot that was a very helpful video

when i bought my speakers covers i couldn't figure out how i,m gonna install them

[aventinus64]

Great video. I used a small chisel to pop the original mounting posts off. Then drove the stubs down. Vacuuming the little pieces of plastic out was the hardest part. I put on some bass heavy music and got the little pieces as they popped up.

[ma3asalaama]

Thanks!!



[ghobbs1957]

Thanks so much, extremely helpful.

[vitiay]

toyota is cheaping out on plastic interior parts more and more every year. according to reviews 2010 models are screeching and breaking right off the lot. wtf?

[vitiay]

great video. I wish we could find speaker grills made of metal. Plastic sucks. If anybody knows where to find please post.

[pinkie09999]

Where did you buy those speaker covers? Thanks alot... (:

[niggataytay300zx]

@pinkie09999 On ebay Very cheap 20-30 dollars shipped.

[MaiMunky]

@niggataytay300zx They also sell them at toyota for $30. 

[bladeslash4]

what the hell every camey I look at had the same dame big hole in the back 0.00

[MrFrankHeffley]

how many ohms id that speaker and watts?

[skipdippity]

actually good video ! it was just the covers but there was more there than i originally thought !

[indiansarecheap3]

@skipdippity all you people are cheap; there are people dying in the world today and all you do is sit at home and watch mtv

all you fuckers will go to hell when you die

help feed the needy and do something to actually alleviate poverty and hunger.

while all you fat ass american bastards eat cheetos therre are african kids who have never tasted anything besides casava in thier whole lives

you guys are horrible and should all be reborn as the poor starving kids you neglect every day

[skipdippity]

@indiansarecheap3 not sure why you singled me out. not sure what is wrong with my comment but im not psycho so guess i just don't see it. why don't you write something in the correct forum where you might make a difference. so you should be pissed at yourself too since here won't do a bit of good. and fuck off..!

[salar021021]

kindda sam as new camrys or diffrent???

[cynical1337]

dont know if this will help anyone but taking a battery to the leads of the speaker will cause it to pulse outwards if ++ and --, if u do it reverse the speaker pulses inwards. isnt damaging to the speaker and a quick way to determine the positive and negative leads

[DrSchmenge]

Extremely helpful video. THANK YOU!!!

[niggataytay300zx]

@DrSchmenge Very welcome! Glad I could help =D

[Xclibur2001]

Oh...........and when connecting them, I didn't know the polarity on the factory speakers. But I found that the RED wire is positive, and the BLACK wire is negative. If connected reversed, the speakers would distort. I hope this helps u Toyota owners out there. I had 2 do all that just to unscrew some filthy, crappy a-- factory speakers.

[niggataytay300zx]

@Xclibur2001 What a job man~~~ I would never think changing the speakers would be that involved. You think they could make stuff easier so you can do more things yourself like cars back in the old days. Old cars were like legos haha So easy to take apart, modify,customize, and put back together

Take care

[imfercho]

@niggataytay300zx Nah nissan is another example. I changed the radio and front speakers of a 2001 Xterra and I almost had to guess or do some experiments with the wires. Still came out pretty good.

[niggataytay300zx]

@imfercho Good stuff!

[Xclibur2001]

seats after I pulled them down. 2 remove clips, you are going 2 need upholstery and trim removal tools. U can get them at your local auto store or at Harbor Freight. I also found that the Aftermarket Pioneers didn't fit the factory hole. I had 2 use the factory speakers as templates 2 make custom wooden adapters 4 the aftermarket speakers. I have 2 say, they worked quite well. (cont->)

[Xclibur2001]

Those Plastic Toyota Grills are melted to the rear cardboard decking from the legs. The melted plastic legs act as rivets. I put some Pioneer Aftermarket 6x9's into my mother's 02 Toyota Camry, to replace the flimsy factory speakers that were making ugly noises. Man............I gotta tell you!! Doing this is a pain in the rear if you live in South Texas. I had to pull off the side seat cushions, remove the side rear curtain airbag cover's and detach clips and plastics behind the (cont->)

[DREX0077]

SO HOW DOES THE NEW SPEAKER COVER STAY IN PLACE????????

[niggataytay300zx]

@DREX0077 Gravity and just friction. Unless you are jumping or going off-roading in your camry.... they will stay in

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks for the compliments everyone =D Glad I was able to help and save you the huge bill from Toyota.

[un10cked]

@niggataytay300zx Can you make a video of how to remove the front speakers video. This video was really useful. Thank you very much

[niggataytay300zx]

@un10cked I can try not put a video together for the fronts but I mainly did the rear speakers since they had to be replaced from old age. I will check out my moms front speakers and if they need replacing... Ill replace them and make a nice follow along video=] Take care

[BigDH28]

@Niggataytay300zx Thanks for the great Vid man! Just wanted to say Good Job And great Quality! I have an 05 camry and mine are cracked and broke also this vid is very helpful! Thanks again bro!!!

[hike108]

I appreciate this. I'm no car lady but I was able to do this. Getting those plugs out is challenging. Now if there were an easy way to change out the radio/CD player to one that plays MP3s. That is also one piece.

[Xplod95]

Nice cat)))

[niggataytay300zx]

Thanks for the comments everyone! =] If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.

[MrSCABIES]

help my speaker ccovers feel lilke they are stuck, they wont pry up easily at all im affraid i will break them,, help????

[niggataytay300zx]

@MrSCABIES Same with mine.  It takes some strength to pull them out. Don't worry. You can drill out any remaining plastic left in the holes if broken off,

[UncleBill52]

That's a great video... The toughest part of the whole ordeal was getting the old speakers covers to pop out. The non-disintegrating sides don't break easily but once you get it to break, it's easy removal. Thanks.

[skinnyguy0]

The cat's meow was hilarious and so was the honesty throughout the video! Thanks for the post!

[Elduke17]

hi there im a camry owner of that same model and i would like to know where can i get that part that you are intalling

[niggataytay300zx]

@Elduke17 Ebay for 30 dollars shipped =] Just ebay search camry speaker cover 2002

[swz03f]

thanks, i'll give it a try!

[ryanewt909]

i like how he showed us him vacuuming

[mmzwang]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. It's obvious that it's part defect! It's ok to have some defect part like this. But it's not ok for car manufactors for take responsibility!

[dancinginquicksand]

Wow, you just saved me like $700.....thanks!

[niggataytay300zx]

@dancinginquicksand You're welcome =]

[1thess523]

It always erks me when auto makers can just put a removable panel like the ones on my old Honda Van 03' that was so easy. I have a Civic now and I can't find any video on how to replace them.

[niggataytay300zx]

@1thess523 I agree.... Sometimes changing speakers or headlights on cars nowadays is frustrating and very time consuming. I had to change my buddies headlights in his 05 nissan altima and to do that, I had to remove the front wheels, wheel well guards, and carefully reach up through the frame.. What year civic and model is yours? I'll try to search and find a write-up on speaker replacement.. Cheers

[1thess523]

hey thanks alot for the reply, I got it done this weekened and it wasn't to bad. I found another video that showed how to remove the front door and it was pretty easy as long as you get all the screws out, the back speaker were done kind of ghetto to begin with when i bought it so I just kept the same locations just changed the speakers and it works just fine. thanks for trying though. by the way it's an 02' Civic Sedan.

[gudpren]

Don't even try to get into where the speaker legs are burnt, you will have to take off the whole back board before you can reach where these legs are burnt (palstic to plastic).

[gudpren]

That is exactly what happened to the 2 speaker grills on my wifes Camry 2005. Toyota should made it easy to replace these craps, they use sun sensitive parts to the sun exposed area of the car. They burnt the legs to the base board so it will be hard to replace, dealer tried to rip me off $80 labor fee. I did the same thing you did but I glued it on mine. Thanks for the video, it will help a lot of Camry owners, they too have the same sun untolerant speaker grills to replace soon.

[niggataytay300zx]

I agree. My mom has never talked badly about the camry until this haha I think Toyota should have free replacement of the back speakers since so many people run into this problem. When my mom said they wanted 200-300 for the job, I laughed and told her to let me take over =]

[jrusso7660]

@niggataytay300zx

If you get a comprehensive, bumper to bumper warranty plan, it should cover stuff like this.

[ramin444]

Great video thank you

[niggataytay300zx]

Welcome =D

[ZackMcLeish13]

toyota quality?
