Follow me as a figure out how to upgrade the speakers in my VZ Holden Commodore to get some awesome bass and all-round great audio experience.
The process of removing the door panels, replacing the speakers and soldering the connections will be very similar for the VY Commodore and basically any other car with in-door speakers.
New Speakers: Kenwood 6" KFC-S1676EX

1 screw for lock, 1 screw for handle, 7 screws around door card (8th screw behind handle), easier to take door card off with window down, instead of cutting oem plug off make a patch loom, 6"-6.5" fit in doors

You left the 2 ohm tweeters at the top of the dash on either side connected? Either disconnect them or use a component style mid range / tweeter combo.!

The speakers your putting in arnt that much better than the stocks. The stocks would have a better bottom end response. I would say putting in splits would be a upgrade not el cheap o 2 ways.

@jon-michaelhollingsworth3517
@jon-michaelhollingsworth3517 4 года назад
I followed what you said and showed, but the only thing that I can’t get right, is the lock on the doors. The plastic button on the door card doesn’t slide correctly with the lock mechanism. Any thoughts?
@engineerinthemaking1
@engineerinthemaking1 4 года назад
Hi Jon-Michael, glad the video helped! If I have understood you are referring to the red clip that attaches the door lock cap to the threaded rod of the lock (the part that moves up and down)? From memory the height of this was adjustable and may not be clipping into your cap properly. My advice would be to make sure you have the lock in the "unlocked" position (up), pull the red clip out from the lock cap, place the cap over the rod to the unlocked height, then press the red clip back into place. Hope this helps!
@jonathanrees3765
@jonathanrees3765 3 года назад
Make sure you pop out the red clip. just so it frees up. Slide the button down the threaded rod, the red clip in the out position will then stop the button going down. Clip it in at this position, it is the right height. Note that VYs do not have the hole at the bottom of the red clip to help unclip it, on VZ just lifting the button slightly you can hook out the red clip, which disengages the button. Use a small jewelers screw driver or something like that to carefully unclip on VY. Think Holden used to just rip the buttons out and replace the red clip.

Engineer In The Making Thanks, just watched it and I love the vid bro. Can a 6.5 fit? Or will there have to be modifications on the panels?
@engineerinthemaking1
@engineerinthemaking1 4 года назад
The 6" speakers fit perfectly. I think 6.5 would also probably fit but it may require the speaker housing to be modified. I haven't tried or read anywhere that 6.5 would fit though so I'd stuck to 6" to be safe :)

Did you have any issues with the black and red plastic piece thats for the locks you removed, and how did you avoid scratching the handles with the flat head? After i put my door lock interior bits on they misalign after a lock/unlock not sure what to do
@engineerinthemaking1
@engineerinthemaking1 4 года назад
Hi Mate, I didn't have any issue with the locks at all. The red tab should pop out and allow you to adjust the height based on how high it is sitting when you clip it back into the black piece. As for the door handles I just used a very skinny tipped flat screwdriver and got very minimal, if any, scratching. Hope this helps!
@Drakmaster1337
@Drakmaster1337 3 года назад
You have to put the door knobs on while the red thing is still popped out, or you will fuck up the thread which keeps them into place

I found the 6" speakers fitted perfectly with no problems. I haven't tried 6.5" but there may be enough space, however, you may need to modify the plastic mount in the door slightly to make them work.
