GR Yaris Audio Upgrade

One more question please, I understand your original speakers were raided for their mounting plates. I presume this is because the adapter rings which come with the Alpines didn’t fit the Yaris mounts?

Rather than using mdf to mount the alpines on which I’m not a fan of, It would of also meant cutting the oem plug off for connecting the speakers and also compromising the weather proofing which the original mount is designed to do.
 
Today has been a good day, a very good day ! (y)

Thanks for the heads up Lauren, sadly I'm daaaaan Sarf so had it fitted locally.

@Nudenut notice you went for different speakers with the replacement Focals rather than the Alpines I had fitted. Also you've gone for the 2.1 iBus which is a step up. It's going to be mega. :) Now I've had all this in my car a few months, I must say, that I absolutely love it. I actually look forward to listening to music in my car in a way that I didn't before I had it fitted. Gives so much more depth and clarity to the sound. That sub does very well with packing some welly with the bass should you so wish and the Alpine door speakers give a much crisper clearer sound.

Highly recommended! (y)

[mention]Lauren [/mention] yeah, they’re a plug and play straight replacement that was recommended, they’re more expensive but as to whether that much better I wouldn’t know without putting our cars side by side.

Agreed on the quality though, the uplift is as you say astounding, soooooooo pleased !!

The speakers that came out are actually ridiculously bad but I get that.

Hey Lee, had it done at Pulse Car Audio in Hadleigh, Essex…. failing that any reputable car infotainment place shouldn’t struggle with this.

I bought and fitted the IC TOY 165 speakers today. IC = coaxial, so no need to touch original tweeter. I'll disconnect it if I'm ever in behind the A pillar trim.


Fitting is a piece of piss. Just had to open out the mounting holes on the new speakers a few mm to match the Toyota adapter ring. Only used original fasteners from the car, the supplied pop rivets would be no use. Make sure the electrical connector is at the top and the tweeter will point in the right direction.
 
Ive just bought the focal ones too...front,rear and tweeters

Main reasons are good reviews and i want a direct replacement speaker with no cutting/splicing

Also,im not into subs/amps etc so just want a better sound than standard,which i think these will give me.:cool:

oh,anyone know where to get some genuine dynamat from....at a good price?. (only need a few pieces)
