Thanks to you guys putting in the time and care to make this video, I was able to replace the blown speaker in the driver’s side door of my 2000 Camry today. Ordered from crutchfield as well. Having your video as a guide was like having a knowledgeable friend helping me through this. Again, thank you!!! ❤
We're definitely planning on doing more Camry content. It's been fun working on Kamilla's Camry and there are still a few mechanical issues we have to address. Right now we are looking at times our schedules coincide. Hopefully within the next month we can get together and make some more Camry videos. Thanks for your support!
Thanks! We're working on our schedules to get together and film more content with the Camry. It's been fun seeing the transformation and Kamillas love for her car grow.
Just got my kid a 97 camry and we are about to put the same speakers in. I will be letting him do 1 side and me do 1 side so he can learn. Great video guys!
That’s awesome. They’re great cars as I’m sure you know. Speakers were a relatively easy and straightforward install. Also, you can get great speakers for the Camry(all around) for less than $150. Best of luck and enjoy the music!
Nice! 101k sounds like a barn find. Don’t think I’ve seen any with that low of miles. Great cars. Will last you forever. Thanks for the comment and best of luck on the speaker install.
Love the Camry content I plan to tackle this and the video helped me to decide to do it I bought my 2000 Camry 2 years ago with 107k miles on it she’s been great
That’s awesome! For the most part it is very straight forward. They’re great cars as you know and worth keeping/upgrading. We’re planning some more maintenance videos here in the coming months on Kamilla’s Camry. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up here or on IG. Best of luck!
Thanks! Yeah, it was pretty straightforward, especially since Crutchfield sent a PDF with every nut and bolt you have to remove in order to install the speakers. I’d say for less than $100, it was a huge upgrade.
Pro-Tip: if you can’t find the correct adapters to connect the speakers you can cut and strip the stock wire and solder them to the new speaker wire, watch a quick video on how to solder (it’s very easy). I did this for my back speakers on 2001 Camry
Indeed. That’s why I went with the adapters. I wanted to avoid soldering. If I did speakers or stereo installs more often I would want to learn the soldering technique, but adapters work great for the time I have available. Thanks for the comment.
I ordered the speakers off crutchfield.com and they came with the adapters. If you buy your speakers from there then they will send the adapters but if not I’m sure you could get the adapters there separately. I hope that helps!
i put all infinity referance speakers in my 97 and omg does it crank it hits hard with out sub but now i have a 3000 watt skar zvx on way with a d4s jp23 amp lol
if your careful you can peel old speaker out of the black baffle is wat i did because it has a cover that protects water or condensation from dripping thru door or off window on to speaker youll see wat im talking bout on your factory speakers
Nice video, thanks for posting. Got lucky with those windows dude lol. Question: when you installed the rear speakers and put everything back together did you put the new speaker screen/cover things on or stick with the originals? How does it look?
Yeah, definitely better to drill with windows up. 😅 We went with the OEM look. Tossed the covers that came with the speakers. She wanted to keep that Camry look but with an upgrade to the sound, so that’s why we went that route. Still looks great though.
Honestly.....I don't know. Go to cruthfield.com and put in your vehicle description and it will tell you what speakers will fit your vehicle. That's the best I can tell you.
I want to say the rear speakers were Pioneer and the fronts were Kenwood. If you go to crutchfield.com it will tell you the sizes you need for your specific car depending on the location of the speakers you want to replace. I hope that helps.
Could you have added additional sound insulation to the doors? Would this have been a good idea? If so can bubble insulation be used? Maybe do a video on insulate the car for sound. Thanks
Hey. For sure. We could have added some sound proofing behind the door panel, but this was a low budget DIY install. Installing a sound dampening product could be done in the future but that would be up to Kamilla. I’ll suggest it to her and see what her interest is in doing that. Thanks!
Please link the items you purchased for this! Especially those brackets! I know there aren't any mounts that fit the original screw layout for the original speaker, so I'm super curious
Hey. Thanks for the question. Honestly, I’m not sure the exact speakers she bought for the car. They were purchased on crutchfield. You can enter your car and year and it will provide you with speakers specifically for your vehicle and the locations they will be placed. All the connections and brackets came with the speakers(free). Hope that helps.
Awesome. Seems easy enough after watching, thanks! Your background montage music was horribly addicting I hated loving it and can't stop singing it. The price we pay for information is steep.
I feel ya. That was some of the catchiest music I’ve used in a video. Kamilla has a very bubbly personality so I thought the music complimented her well. The install is not very hard at all. Best of luck on the project!
I’m so sorry to bother I am new to this car stuff. How do I figure out what size speakers are can fit in my car? I have a 2001 Camry le but I don’t understand how to buy a new speakers correctly
No problem. Crutchfield.com allows you to select the type of car you have and it will tell you what size speakers you have in the front and rear. It makes it easy. Not that you have to buy your speakers from them, but they will at least inform you of what you need. Hope that helps.
@@TheNonnell I did watch the entire video and you did fold them down. I miraculously got my seats to unlatch though late last night after hours of messing with them. Thanks!
@@scottcoleman7304 🤣 I guess I did take them down. I suppose that had to happen to get access to the back shelf. My apologies. It’s been so long I forgot all about it.
Hi just got a grandma’s 1999 with 27k for $500. The window motors are apparently fried after inspection of a mechanic but not sure if it’s a lie, would you be able to help instructions?
It would be an easy job for sure. I would recommend buying a haynes repair manual for that model year either in print or online. They're usually good at detailed instructions.
6”x9” in the rear deck I believe. You may be able to see the underside of them from inside your trunk, which may have the size stamped on it. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the comment. My bad, I thought I had put the sizes in the description box. The front speakers were KENWOOD KFC-1666S size 6 1/2”. The rear were PIONEER TS-G690 size 6” x 9”. Hope that helps!
Can you just mention how many walked there were the speakers and why they don't come with the universal bracket and did you use the OEM head unit or it was an aftermarket one it was an aftermarket 1 thanks
The speakers came with brackets; however, I did not choose to use them. I felt that it was easier to attach them directly to the doors and rear deck. The Camry has its OEM head unit. Thanks!
The adapter kits that came with the speakers were more difficult to use than the approach we went with, IMO. As far as the tool, you can find them for less than $20 a kit (interior trim removal tool) online. Thanks and best of luck!
Where did you get the connectors that connect the new speakers to the original wiring . I’m installing door speakers and need to know ho to . All I have atm are the speakers .
The connectors came with the kit that I bought from Crutchfield. I believe you can buy the connectors separately on their site. They’re very useful and make for an easy install.
@@TheNonnell thanks for the help , keep up with the Camry series !! My Girlfriend has an 01 just got new set of seat for the car . Car looks new from the inside with the seats . Car has 310k miles & runs like new . Love this this car !!!
Whoa! 310k!! That’s awesome. Just goes to show how great these cars are. We have several projects to complete with the Camry. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get those finished and added to the series soon.
I have a 2007 camry with non JBL stock speakers and I found 2 pairs of speakers from a JBL system camry (2005) and after installing they sound weak and the highs are so low worst than the stock ones. Now my question is do I need an amp to run these speakers? I have a aftermarket headunit too and i think those aren't powerfull enough to push those JBL speakers (speaker model 86160-AA400).
Let me first say that I'm not super knowledgable about speakers vs receivers. I recently upgraded my Xterra speakers and found that my aftermarket head unit needed the volume turned up to a higher level to get similar sound. My previous speakers would start to distort around volume 26, but now I can go to 26 and higher without distortion; however, I don't feel that I get all the power sent to the new speakers that I know they can handle. For that purpose I would get an Amp to increase the power output. I've noticed there is a lot of physics that go into speakers and head units from what I've read. Like my head unit is 50w x 4 channels. My understanding of this is that each speaker gets pushed 50w of power; however, my speakers are capable of much more. I believe thats why I have to crank the volume higher to get a similar effect as my old speakers. The new speakers are better by far, but I think I'll need to get an amp if I want the most out of them. Also, my new speakers are 4 Ohms all the way around. I think that rating deals with the impedance. Again, beyond my scope, but I know they have a higher impedance than my old speakers. I don't know if that helps or not, but I would recommend calling like a Freemans Car Stereo or maybe even Crutchfield and one of their associates would have a better answer then what I can give.
@@TheNonnell yes and the issue is my aftermarket headunit has less wattage output than my factory ones but I don't want to put my factory one again since that doesn't make sense to do. Also the speakers I got are 2 Ohms vs the 4 Ohms stock ones so I believe the headunit having hard time pushing that much power so I guess it better to go with a simple 2 Ohms amp
I think you need a amp because mostly every car with a premium sound system comes factory with a amp my 5th gen Camaro 2LT RS has boston acoustic premium sound speakers and it came with a amp from factory
I’m not 100%, but I went to crutchfields website where we bought the speakers. The harness they would send out is Metra 72-8105 speaker wiring harness. Hope that helps.
@@TheNonnell yea they did not work on my 2000 Camry or the connector was for newer style Toyota’s 01 & newer But After researching for a bit I found Metra 71-042C that are the perfect match/plug & play Thanks for your help
@@UNEEK_LOGIK oh good. The only other thing that I could think of is that the Camry came with two types of radios. A double DIN and a single DIN. Maybe that had something to do with the harnesses? Glad you found a fit that works for you though.
Honest answer is that I bought these speakers for a friend. The factory speakers sounded awful. Pretty sure they didn’t have matching front and rear for the two types I bought at the time, but they were both good quality and had good reviews. After install they sounded great and she was happy to be able to listen to music again. 👍
