- The first two episodes in the Camry series were based around getting the car to run better and look better. In Episode 3, we literally turned up the volume for audio performance and installed much needed new speakers. It was a fun process, but most importantly, the speakers elevated the audio experience. Come along and see the transformation and the joy from Kamilla when she hears her new speakers for the first time. Thanks for watching!

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!!! ❤
You’re very welcome! I’m glad that it was helpful.
I really hope you guys will do more content. I've recently bought one with only 75k miles. This channel has been very informative and entertaining!
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!
Thx will do and I’ve hit the sub button
Recently purchased a 01 Camry and these videos have been greatly beneficial !
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 snactched up an 01 with only 101k on the clock. Door speakrs are toast. Picking up a new pair today. Thanks for the video. Geat job.
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!
What a coincidence I just got a Toyota Camry LE from 2003 with only 107k miles just a week ago
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!
Thanks for the comment. You’ll love the speakers. They sound great and came at a good price. Best of luck!
97 camry gang. It'll last you forever!
@@alexaguirre5841 no his got totaled out a few months later.
@@WildDigger Aw man sorry to hear that. I hope you guys are okay. Did the speakers actually work at least?
I just got my Camry in October and my speakers are the next thing on my list .
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!
Very helpful, I have a 2000 Camry LE with 250,000 still run like a clock. Thank you
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.
You have the v6 model?
@@bryceobrien1241 yes I do
I have a 99 LE with 227,000 and runs perfectly
I got one with 375k that runs like a clock lol. Best part I bought it for 800 bucks. The freaking ac still works.
Crutchfield is a great resource
Oh yes. I've used Crutchfield many times in the past. They make it easy to find what you're looking for.
Heart-stoppingly beautiful.
Hey Tim, I assume that comment is for Kamilla? Although, if you’re talking about the car I agree with that as well.
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.
@@TheNonnell for sure, also don't forget if you do end up soldering to get that nice electric shrink wrap to keep things safe!
@@TheNonnell Do you have a link for the adapters? I have a 1999 camry and will be replacing my speakers as well
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!
@@TheNonnell Thank you soo much!!
Great video!
Thank you so much! 🙏
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!
I own a 09 camry and been thinking of replacing both factory set speakers. I noticed you didn’t connect another amp , is it not needed ?
As far as I know hers did not come with an amp. Although, you have piqued my curiosity so I’ll check it out and see.
2000 Toyota Camry Le v6 295000 😄 still going strong 💪
Heck yes!! These cars are tanks.
Don't they make an adapter to fit the old mounting holes but newer speakers? Also, where did you get that little popper tool?
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!
Did those silver metal pieces you put on after drilling the holes come with the kit or did you have to make them yourself aswell
They were included with the kit.
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.
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.
@@TheNonnell thanks for the fast response. I'll most likely do the same.
No problem! Enjoy that new sound when you get them installed. For her the difference was night and day.
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!
Did you connect the original side pillar stock tweeters to the new system also?
I left the tweeters alone. Only installed new speakers not a new head unit. Tweeters still work and sound great.
Which brand speakers did you install and what size are the door speaker and back speakers
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.
Love it nice and easy thank you
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment.
do you mind me asking how much the speakers costed all together?
Sure. No problem. They were around $100. Not bad at all. That price was for speakers and included the mounting/connecting hardware.
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Bro great video what size speakers goes in the back.
Thanks! I really appreciate it. The rear speakers were 6"x9" 3-way car speakers.
What kind of harness speaker adapters were used? part no?
Honestly I don’t remember. When I bought the speakers from Crutchfield, all adapters and harness were included.
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.
Will this work with any 6.5 inch speakers on the front?
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.
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.
Does this camry have the jbl stock with stock amp?
Can I have the dimensions on the speakers? Need front and back on my 2000 camry
Sure. The fronts were 6.5” and the rear were 6”x9”. Hope that helps and best of luck on the install.
How’s the bass on the 6x9 pioneers?
They hit hard and better than I expected. They are smooth, clear, and no excess noise.
Where did you buy the wire adapter at?
Everything I got came with the speakers. I bought them from crutchfield.com.
would it be possible to do this without folding down the rear seats? mine are stuck and will not fold down
@@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.
What size speakers are in the back of the Toyota Camry
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.
What size are the doors speakers ?
Hey. Here ya go. The fronts were 6.5” and the rear were 6”x9”. Hope that helps and best of luck.
only got 148k miles on my 2000! i needed a tutorial, thank u so much 😭
Nice! Yours is basically brand new. 👍🏻 Happy I could help.
@@TheNonnell Basically new yes! But with four owners, 22 years old, and only bought it for 3.4k? amazing.
$3.4k! Dang. Heck of a deal.
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.
Where you get the speaker cable adapter?
It came with the speakers from www.crutchfield.com.
Thanks!✌️
Where did you get the plastic T shaped tool
The orange tool? It’s an interior trim piece removal tool. You can get them at any auto parts store, online, or Amazon.
Thank you
Did u replace dash speakers
We replaced the front doors and rear deck speakers.
What are the sizes on the speakers man ?
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!
@@TheNonnell thanks a lot really appreciate it man !
9:12 🤣🤣🤣
Yep. 😂
👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
Do more videos on the Camry
Thanks for the comment. We’re definitely planning to do more Camry content. Right now we’re trying to figure out time to get it done.
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!
How many miles on the car?
The Camry had 147k when the video was made. I think she’s at 150k now.
@@TheNonnell that’s impressive it looks brand new. That’s one of the best and longest lasting Toyotas ever built
I agree. I think with proper maintenance she’s probably going to get well over 300k out of it.
@@TheNonnell wow you guys really pushed her lol
She’s very cute 😍
I’m sure she would find that flattering.
Before drilling, should have roll up windows. Its safer.
Hey. Yeah, that’s a good point and insight on your behalf. Fortunately, nothing negative happened and the job was done without any issues. Thanks.
What’s the part number for the speaker connector harness you used.?
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.
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
@@vigilante9259 if you decide to upgrade let me know. I may follow suit and do the same for my Xterra.
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
Ohm load
Why didn't you just bering the window up? 🤦
HAHA. Ah man. I've received a lot of flack about that. I know. Definitely a case of what NOT to do.
Got a 99 f with 200000
Great cars. They’ll last forever as long as they’re not run off of a mountain.
@@TheNonnell anything I should know since this is my first car
The 4 cylinders are known to burn oil. Other than that they’re very reliable.
0:25 I’ve reached my cringe limit
Haha. Thanks
why would you buy speakers from two different brands it makes zero sense unless you don't really care how it sounds
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. 👍
