speaker question - Toyota Yaris Forums

cast · 03-17-2010, 12:57 PM

Hi all,

I am doing the sound deadening for my LB yaris. I think probably it is a convenient time to replace the front stock speakers.

So I found this pair on Amazon.

So I have 2 questions here.

1, Do you think if the new speakers will fit? I really hate cutting etc..
2, Do you think if I should get a new amp for the new speakers?

With a mounting depth of 2.31 inches, these speakers are fine to fit in the front doors.

and adding an amp is always a good idea

I just replaced the speakers in my sedan. I made an adapter plate out of 1/2" wood for the front speakers and bought the adapters for the rear. I recommend buying the adapters. The OEM speakers a basically integrated altogether with the mounting to reduce cost and weight.

When I put the Alpine SPX-17REF in the front door, they were about 1/2" too deep. I put layers of sound dampening around the opening to create space.

or you can just gut the old speaker parts and screw the new ones in the old housing to get the right bracket and just plug in an off you go
