How bad is the $20 car stereo from Walmart? Install | Review 

And screwed in speakers, rather than riveted!

totally. I don't get it, it's like automakers love to make DIYing difficult for auto owners wanting to stay on a budget.

@@ImNotADeeJay the government gets a cut of every car. Why do anything vehicles sold in America are made different. My wife's Honda fast idle sensor failed. They wanted to charge 1500 to repair it. But guess what, in Japan, they don't come with fast idle sensors. So they definitely want to make things difficult for people. My moms Cadillac has this plate cover and they wanted 80 bucks to remove it. My step-dad took a wire hanger and said fuck you. I will never buy mower vehicles unless a law demands it. It's cheaper to just replace a whole engine than what it costs to fix cars these days that somehow conveniently fail with thousands worth in repairs as soon as the warranty expires.

Jesse Cruz is how are you going to cut your own lawn with no mower?

So what you’re alluding to is that this Honda isn’t ‘modern’?

KaiiiLee 💀💀💀

What was the second song he played? When he was testing out the old speaker

Awesome.

The joke about it not being stuck was funny

brentonwb Those tin plates with the raised high letters are practically antiques.

@@0hjaa3.06 Probably CA.

@@HighestRank lmao what

What I learned today, License Plates are great for removing speaker grills

@@flatdog691 lol

Yo, I gotta take out the whole door panel...gotta love my '96 lol

K.I.S.S principle. Love it. Keep it simple -

Car asmr

dislike squad

Implying that these material speakers are that outdated or unusual. They were still in most cars until after the 2000s as far as them being bad quality, you haven't heard vintage JVC Kenwood Marshall or Fosgates, they're better than average modern speakers

Hey Tavarish do you plan on putting one of these head units in your Gallardo?

I just came here from your lambo video, no regrets

There are total shit, turn them up loud and they will tear themselves apart. I get it, you are the old vintage electronics hipster, but you are dead wrong about the old garbage, esp brands that were for the poor and shit back in the day. You list bad brands, that are on the cheap end to begin with lol

i just told him. hi`s a fucking idiot. the origal speakers mad ein japan sound clear. they only need to be attached

@@kavajamusic5411 Those cheap sony speakers will still outperform those cheap factory paper speakers, japan or not. The car was made in Japan, where do you expect the oem speakers to be from? My dodge has all US made factory audio.

Aftermarket one's had higher wattage, which may or may not actually matter, but I'm sure Vietnam makes decent stuff too. It's also a lot newer than the one in his old car. I do believe he could have tried tightening up the speakers and the rattling may have gone away.

Yeah, but they make cheap stuff in Japan too. Honda bought the cheapest speakers they could.

@@kavajamusic5411 Naw, the original speakers on old honda's were where they cut corners, made of cereal boxes, was tragic, you would have never guessed they were made by honda, they were that embarrassing.

It's stupid the engineers weren't smart enough to make all vehicles with pop out speaker grates

T Davis well they don’t want people buying base models and putting nice speakers. They’d rather people pay a thousand for better speakers

Its not that hard tho.

I'm considering changing out the speakers/head unit in a 2008 smart car I just got a few weeks ago (had 70k miles on it got it for about 4.2k)...so far I'm just using a 40Watt Bluetooth speaker paired with my phone and the stock radio(volume isn't bad on radio but Aux cord volume was very weak and would cut out At max volume 24)...will I need to take out door panel in a 2008 smart for two Or can I just get them out does anyone know..it's the Passion for 2 not a brabus

Yeah I got a chevy impala limited lt 2015 old body style from 06-13, i had to unscrew few screws but thank god it was a plug and play with the GM adapter rather than splicing in it

Thank you. Haha I tried making it entertaining and condensed. I was walking past the crap car aisle at Walmart and wondered what it sounded like haha

Turncoat Tony same

Turncoat Tony I actually wound up staying through the whole video too. I'm not even interested in that radio but I just couldn't change the channel I was really interested in seeing how it turned out.

Yukuba Holmes heck yeah. I even subbed. :D

Same here

Michele AND THEN COMES THE GREEN TAURUS

what about 170db at 20hz?

160 db at 30 hz...that's hard as hell to do. I'd say go with 40-50 hz burps

Ren Höek, he is building a 4wd 4rotor rx7, I think he knows a thing or two about hard stuff to acomplish

Michele building an audio system and a beastly engine are 2 completely different things hitting a 160 at 30 hz is hard is hell because the low Hertz tend to be a big air mover not a great pressure builder. Db is a measure of sound pressure. 40-50 hz is alot easier to burp a 160 due to the faster movement of the woofer. Take a look at exocontraltos Frankenstein build and see what all he had to do to get into the 160 club and how much tuning he had to do to get there....your looking at 6 18s with upgraded voice coils spiders and soft parts and 30,000+ watts of power

Godfrey Poon SPAGHET

How the fuck did the spaghetti bullshit make it over to this channel now? Holy shit I hate RU-vid lol

Tyler Johnson guilty by association.. basically the entire judicial system..

VCR was also garbage already, he's nervous, plays a track so he looks calm and ready to rewind, this whole cassettie with 1 pennie

Somebody touchin my spaghet

M&R Tuning kicker really isnt that bad. They hit well over a loud exhaust v8 and 80mph wind noise

+Snipe Stud00 yup iv had 2 kicker comp 12"s 7 years and still bumping them today Best subs ever

Ever try dual L7's

Walmart online even offers brands like American Bass which are severely underrated subs and amps

TenLettersRap yup they also sell coil overs and turbos I'm pretty sure you can get a bong on there too

I think you can dim them from the settings

You definitely can

🤯

What setting can't find it

I just put my bathing towel on it...problem solved!

greg santos me dicen el 24!!

greg santos lol

Rulerpaco .paco LMBO I was thinking the same thing

He's just easy. Period.

guilty but insane License

no you aren't dead. liar.

Williston Audio Labs yeah we know, but yours didn’t come with SONY spokenses.

You Big Dummy!

yea and now lots of units don't have a cd player there just media players like this one... still would have spent a couple bucks more on the head unit myself.... going through all that trouble lol

they look the same sinse 19fucken90 not kidding

at some point they switched from volume buttons to a volume knob..

RippyTheRazer Well yeah but you can't hear what they sound like through a microphone because the sound quality is greatly decreased

AFX Gaming it's not that it's decreased it's that your phone mic doesn't sound like the speakers thus not creating the same experience

Onboard microphones are notoriously bad at sound capture, yes. Particularly when it comes to high spl applications like big bass builds (a la EXOContralto and SMD) however you may note that this is not a high SPL application, there is no clipping involved of the microphone. Also, you hear the factory speaker compared against the aftermarket speaker in the same environment and with the same camera. Therefore i feel confident in comparing the former to the latter and, being confident in the lack of quality in the former, leads me to believe that the objective quality of the aftermarket speakers is on the lower end of the market. However as stated multiple times in the video and again in my initial comment, none of this matters because they are still an upgrade from factory

RippyTheRazer I never said they didn't sound better or that they were bad bro chill, all I said was that you need to be there to hear it, think about it, recording a speaker and playing it through another one, it will only sound as good as the microphone and the speaker playing the recording

RippyTheRazer also, wasn't talking to you, was talking to the other buddy explaining that it doesn't matter how good his mic is you'd never really know how they actually sound over RU-vid so slow down

Ah I remember Kraco had some 6x9 and they were good for a high school student. Those Kraco packages were insane haha

XxboaredofbordemxX fuck yeah

No you don't need a subwoofer

Alexander Hutchison the head unit does everything on its own, a subwoofer is an additional speaker that you connect to an amplifier to get thumping bass

It's putting out more like 15W RMS. 120W is the maximum power that stereo can put out. He'd need an amplifier to max out the speakers.

zgdrummer there is 220watt head units. Sony has them too

Rotary? Does Rob have one of those?

GForceConnections again that's max power .. RMS is the true power and the only power figure worth looking at. Alpine make a plug and play 200w (50x4) amp which makes a great difference

Satveer Degun I believe the HUs he is talking about have a high output amp in the HU and require a 10ga power wire direct from the battery in order for it to function.

says something about people that buy into apple.

This car is meant to be as cheap as possible. Rob actually has a decent amount of money. But the purpose of this is to be as cheap as possible.

I have a galaxy s9 with a 2012 volvo your point is?

JDR 235 waste of money. Thats the point. My phone has 2 screens (it snaps around from the back) and it costs less than both those fragile phones

K...

cezzy abarca everyone listens to radio or aux now

wacka wacka That's not the point

You could get it with a multi disc CD player from the dealer

I still collect cassettes, most of the ones I have sounds as good as CD.

ktfjulien That is *exactly* the point (despite the OP making an obvious joke). Howard Jones I sure like your _What Is Love?_ ... but your _Look Mama_ is even better! An overlooked gem of the '80s and a total blast 😘

P. luna lol

It’s short Because he didn’t want to trigger the RU-vid copyright police.

@@misatzu that's actually how the song sounds.

@@megaruhe6296 I know the song, I've heard it dozens of times. I know the sound, and I've even verified it before replying. In this case, that exact sound is definitely distorted exactly the way these cheap car audio speakers of that size do it.

go big or go home

Only if he uses electrical tape to fasten the ground wire.

mrmizzarcus Shit, the juice you can get out of a tiny class-D unit these days makes half of the killer gear from back in the day look like oversized crap. And it's _cheap_

Kicker hideaway. Put one in the back seat of my truck, not into loud subs or over the top bass. I just like nice clean sound and good bass and it certainly did that.

I like a thump to my music, but I dont want it all drowned out by the bass. So I usually bump it up a little, but not too much on the bass.

Bradley W beat me to it

Cake anyone??

Really I thought a LS powered Miata was batshit insane now you've piqued my interest in a V12 swap

1337Pwny hell yeah playa

That V12 Miata Bruh All we need is a Italian engine swapped Miata, everyone be looking for a Ferrari/Lamborghini/Maserati at the meet only to find a Mazda

License plate

This is a tortious

iMrParker How do you use it?

minnsminns oh shit...

Luis Mendoza it’s better with Tigrillo Palma

Jan De Kock wht Suzuki did u have

P1imp0logy101 lmao!

P1imp0logy101 girls have 3....

Technically all of you just can't even count beyond three ... but I won't elaborate on that, inevitably evoking an undoubtably subjective debate about "usability".

P1imp0logy101 I include the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, I'm all in

No, 3

The brand had several ups and downs. Originally the company was from my country =)

GALAXY S7 Germany ?

yup

I thought it was Pyramid 😂

Dual used to be a German audio company. Now it's Chinese stuff. The name came from the ability to run early products on mains or wind-up power. They made great turntables.

"Things are good," in case anyone was wondering lol

@@i-love-comountains3850 'Things are good' in Spanish 'Las cosas estan bien'. "Las cosas se ponen bien' in English would be 'Things are getting good'. Song: El 24 - Julion Alvarez

Música buena

He's rolling in that sweet Walmart cash.

frog

Well it was sony speakers it just happen to be from walmart

Just get an EQ on your phone and run it there.

avin r What's the benefit of *_not_* using the built-in one? (I am quite aware of the correct answer regarding mid-priced gear, but on low-cost stuff it really doesn't matter!)

Those Sony speakers look like they are missing a bit on the highs, so you turn up the highs a bit and it sounds better

2012 civic driver here.. can confirm

Will do! Since I paid for it I’ll roast it if it sucks

slwrthnu2 I've had mine for over 2 years and subs and amplifier and it's been fine

Ever used the Wago 221 connectors? I used to use them in everything from lighting systems to line-voltage residential.

Needless to say that would have been interesting

Just make it a drinking game.

Mister Hat At least it's still driving the speakers.

That makes sense. The usb doesn’t charge my iPhone either.

would that be the orange wires then?

the orange wires just the dimmer for the dash lights.

oldmanloki _ do you hear that?? Sounds like you're playing that like a damn fiddle!!

jb34304 I doubt the built in DAC would do flac files any justice.

Don't do this...I woke up in the bathtub.

☠️

SuperLooey i have it too and it gets the job done

But make *absolutely* sure the box is unopened and undamaged. Walmart likes to put returned electronics back on the shelf and pretend it's new/unused (sold at the price of 'new', mind you). Had that happen twice from them (10 years apart, two different stores).

must suck to be american ,in the UK everything has a year warrenty by law and the retailer has to refund or replace on the spot no RMA bullshit needed

Yea they last i have one

White people are not American. The real Americans are brown Mexicans, Guatemalans, Peruvians, Hopi, Cherokee, etc.

wet timguavass random race war comment on youtube much?

The original Americans are not from Europe, the Americans called us "The Redman" . Get you some education instead. I always thought Brits were more classier than that, you sound like a backwoods, tobacco chewing, cousin f#ckin Trump supporter with your last statement

Joey Keith who makes a good speaker? I have a new f150 and installed alpine door speakers but left the pillar tweeters alone. The sound improvement wasnt that noticeable, but I'm also on stock headunit which I don't wanna change because it's a navigation headunit.

Jace Jackson Alpine are fair for cheap I have pioneer in my Merc. But I run them through a crossover and amp. I'm running a pioneer head. Any system head can sound good if you run through a crossover and amp

The package box says 30 watts per channel....no info about rms output. But you get Bluetooth , usb / card reader and also with amp outputs and a jack input, so for the price you pay its not bad at all. My pioneer HU that also has those features was way more expensive , but also has a lot higher power output and better dsp eq options. But thats why the better brands are more expensive. Though I dont use the HU amp, got a Audio System monoblock, ground zero ta4000 amp hooked on 2 composets of massiv audio and a Digital Designs 12inch dvc woofer (really heavy boy). @ jace jackson If you dont want to change the head unit you can buy a high-low converter and you can hook up amps to you head unit. Quite easy to do your own. Does your alpine door speaker have tweeters build in? And about the pillar tweeters... are they still working when you changed your speakers or not?
