D22 Speaker Installation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Installing speakers into the rear doors and replacing the front speakers of my 2005 d22 navara. I used Kenwood KFC-S1666 2-way speakers and paired with an alpine CDE-150e single din headunit with a 4x50w output.
For people who want to get the best sound quality, I would encourage using sound deadening in the doors before spending loads on expensive speakers.
For such a cheap and easy modification I would definitely suggest doing this. The rear speakers drastically improved the overall sound in the cab, giving a fuller effect to the music.
Overall the install only cost just over $100 as I already had a sufficient head unit.

So you’ve got 6.5s all around? I thought they were 6s up front from factory? Maybe I read wrong.
Yeah 6.5s all round and I think the front ones I pulled out were 6.5 but weren’t the factory speakers
So how did the rear speakers turn out? Are the muffled? Can we get a video that shows us what they sound like?, very much appreciated
I don’t know if a video would really show how they sound but they turned out pretty good. Using the fader on the head unit I can tweak how much volume comes from the front and rear to where it sounds pretty good.
I’d say if you’re really into your sound I’d invest in some sound deadening for the doors as they’re really rattly once you crank it up.
Never liked messing with doors, they never seem to fit right after any fix / upgrade.
Yeah that’s understandable, it’s very easy to break the pins.
How have you found those seat covers too ? ( i assume they're the Kings ones - are they any good ? )
Yeah they are kings and for what they cost I can’t fault them, they are universal but they still fit pretty good just have to tuck the straps in so they don’t get caught.
@@ReubsModifications cheers mate - just looking for some decent covers and someone said they weren’t too bad. Cheers 👍
Cheers mate. Ive got what i think is a dry joint in the front left speaker. Was always a bit dubious about taking that trim off to fix it but you make it look easy. Think I'll give it a go. Thanks again.🇦🇺🍺
Good luck mate, should be an easy fix👍🏻
what year navara you got?
2005 STR
What are the dimensions of the speakers you installed?
16.5 x 16.5 x 4.3 (cm)
Your vid was such a great help thanks! After threading wire to the back doors, how did you connect it to the head unit? I've got iso adaptor harness attachments in place so I'm not too sure which wires I should attach to? Any help would be appreciated 🙂
Glad it helped 👍🏻 I spliced into the harness, I didn’t have a diagram for which wires go to where so I played music through the speakers and touched wires to power the speakers and find which colours powered which speaker. When I was finished I looked up on TH-cam a sound tester and played it through the speakers to make sure I got the lefts and rights correct 👍🏻
Do the rear windows hit the speakers when they're down? I've thought about fitting small rear speakers in my D22 but heard that's a problem.
Mine don’t but I bought shallow speakers, it is definitely something to look out for if you want to try and fit deep speakers there👍🏻
If you care about sound, how about lining the rear speakers up with the actual grill....
Wasn’t going to fit with the speaker size, the grills are put in from factory and are placed awkwardly halfway over the window support.
Great Video. I haven't removed my front door trims as yet, I have changed the head unit and now would like to do the speakers. Do you think it's a save bet if I purchase 6.5" speakers? 2015 D22 “Now confirmed, fitted 6.5” vibe speakers”
I’m pretty sure the d22s are all the same so 6.5 should work as that’s what I used if not just make sure to hold onto your receipts so you can exchange them.
I’d also take your time reading into the input and output ratings (RMS/OHMs) of your headunit and speakers and match them up. Good luck👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications thanks for that. Yep I noticed in your Video you used 6.5”, I was at Supercheap today and they couldn’t tell me for sure that 6.5 or 6 would be correct. I will pull the trims tomorrow and take a look.
Yeah nice install I putt a custom dual carbon fibre pod for 2x 6.5" speakers in each for and 6x9 in the rear.
Sounds excellent
That’s awesome, completely changes the sound in the cab👍🏻
holy dooley, that's a lot of rocker switches 😁 .... thanks for taking the time to do a great video mate.
Hahaha I have a few lights that I wanted to control individually and wanted some switches spare for later on. And thanks mate I’m glad that you enjoyed it.
@@ReubsModifications yeah you’re better off planning ahead for an expansion ‘one day’ then having to redo it all later.... I like you’re thinking 😉👍
Yeah that’s the best way I think👍🏻
Very good video!
was looking for something like this
Thanks mate let me know how you go👍🏻
What type of wires are the ones you are connecting the rear speaker wires to? The ones on the back of the head unit. Cheers appreciate it
Hey mate, they were in the car when I bought it. They are just part of the head unit harness and should be similar for all head units. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.
@@ReubsModifications and you just followed the colour coding for the wires?
@@angusorr6785 Yes you can do it that way or with a wiring diagram or you can use a test light or a speaker to find which wires do what
@@ReubsModifications thanks for the quick responses. Appreciate it
@@angusorr6785 no worries mate, let me know if you need anything else 👍🏻
seems like a lot of work for a little bit more sound lol
Yeah to some people it would be but for people who daily drive navs the little things add up to make them a lot nicer
@@ReubsModifications yeah this is true
Hey mate, how did you get off the Handles when you did the rear?
Hey mate the handles stay in the door but the plastic surround for the handles is just clipped in if you get a screwdriver you can work it around and it will pop off 👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications cheers exactly what I was looking for. absolute legend you are ❤️
@@liamgray6856 haha too easy mate what speakers did you go with?
@@ReubsModifications I ended up going with some 360w/60rms Jvc, came with tweeters and a crossover so had to do some minor changes, but all is good.
@@liamgray6856 I bet they’ll sound good
Speakers behind a door car and rear seat yea nice lol
Still better than not having any speakers in the rear 👍🏻
@@ReubsModifications yea narr its like putting speakers in ya boot
@@warrendonga I tried putting them in the tub but I couldn’t hear them over the wind
@@ReubsModificationsthe wind between ya ears?
@@warrendonga yeah something like that
Great video mate
Thanks mate, hope it helps
I helped my son put rears in his D22. We got the oval shaped Kenwoods and put them where the useless ashtray goes they give much better sound as it is not blocked by the seat. Also the speaker wires were in the rear door loom just taped over, no need to run wires.
That’s awesome, we’re the wires clean for you because when I found mine the wires were hard and covered in dirt.
We’re they the one in the top right there
Perfect video.
My missus just got herself a d22, and her only complaint is that it doesn't go doof doof, so I'm planning on putting some better speakers in it for her.
This answered every question I was about to find myself asking during the install haha
Thanks mate glad this video helped, what size speakers do you plan on using to get enough doof 😂
@@ReubsModifications just 6.5s
I should clarify, her d22 front speakers are cracked and sound terrible haha
