you should have removed that windshield cover - you blocked the tweeters and also you should have kept the recorder at driver's head position not at armrest ...
That was a bad song choice
What do you suggest?
@@MikesCarInfo something that has a lot of bass
@@MikesCarInfo Push it - Pusha T
Tool obviously, but it sounds incredible
Can you upload a video on, playing future or something?
Thank you so much
2018 camry xse. V6. Is insane with the jbl system
Damn, mike, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm currently trying to buy a car and the sound system is important. Appreciate the review!
You know you can add aftermarket speakers right lol
BOSE in the chevys are better imo
bamagym no it isn’t lmao
Me too and you play this synthesizer crap!! Giuffria was a great band but c'mon...... I want to hear if it sounds good... how about Kenny G songbird? would that sound gorgeous?
Can you tell me where the amplifier is located?
I brought a used 2018 camry xse and it has jbl audio but the rear speakers in the door don't work. There is no sound from them. I am trying to find where the amplifier in this car is located.
2017 to 2018 big improvement I wish my mom got this one
Zavier The Great get 2019 rav4
The JBL system is better on the 2018 then 2017 model?
Bluetooth won't give you as good a sound as through an aux cable or USB drive...
my name my first exact thoughts..
Then it should sound even better than this video :)
my name you’re not going to be able to tell the different through TH-cam compression anyway lol.
my name but blue tooth sounds more clear
@@tylerpaul9469 it doesn't. If you stream a Bluetooth song it is not going to keep it's 300kbps+ bitrate
Honestly I was interested in Toyota’s with the JBL sound System bc I’ve owned a Bluetooth JBL speaker before and it was so good that it definitely beat the quality of sound that my 2013 Prius has built-in - so I would actually have seamless uninterrupted music and would just play from my phone through my BT JBL speaker and carry it with me everywhere, from the house to the bike to the car. So, maybe I would opt for a different trim level and save on a package and just get another $200 JBL Bluetooth portable speaker! ;P you can also customize and give yourself leather interior for a couple grand. So, I don’t know if it’s worth it to spend thousands extra on a car model that has the extras built in....but if budget is less of an issue.... I was interested and excited Toyota partnered with JBL for their sound System bc my past experience with the JBL brand was surprisingly memorable and excellent.
I hate that it's almost impossible to find out the full specs of stock audio systems. Like SnR, what kind of dac, etc. You also did this test with bluetooth audio which is not an accurate comparison unless it's one of the lossless bluetooth codecs which no one car audio components support at this time.
This is very well done. Shoulda done a couple songs. A rock song a rap song
Tool
My radio volume drastically dropped i turn it all the way up and sounds low any ideas why
If you’re playing through Bluetooth, sometimes for whatever reason the volume gets decreased on the phone
I just drove a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE And I don’t think the system is half bad. The subwoofer in the trunk however has a very tiny magnet and I would have to replace it with an aftermarket one to get much better bass.
RockGod333 what size is the subwoofer? Would you know?
If the magnet is small it's probably neodymium, which is more magnetic than ferrite. The stock sub in an `18 xse is trash though, rattles really bad and can't perform below 40hz. Aftermarket is a must.
FYI, that "very tiny magnet" is a neodymium magnet. By weight, it is 10 times more powerful than the "black donut" ceramic magnet that has been used for decades, and even though it is also about 5 times more expensive by weight, it is used to save weight from the vehicle and preserve your mileage. The japanese car makers are obsessive about weight and will do everything possible to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle by making small savings everywhere they can.
@@prlexlatino 8 inch subwoofer
steaming via bluetooth a2dp killed the quality of audio. Pro sound recorder won't help with that :(
So Toyata Camry got JBL speakers VS Mazda 6 Bose speakers.
And the Kia Optima has Harman Kardon
If you all are saying it sound bad. It's the cameras fault. Its compressing the audio to prevent clipping. If he used an Zoom H1 recorder. Then we could really tell its abilities
0:25
MikesCarInfo whoops skipped that part. Buy why did it sound like it had a limiter. Did you check your recording settings? -12db gain and limiter off? Cause at 3:25 it looked like it was reaching clipping.
@@MikesCarInfo also this was a good car review since you got straight to the point. But I just have two recommendation, to really boost the quality of your content in these reviews and to avoid pesky comments. Try putting the recorder at head level on the drivers side, and play music with a high bit rate and wired only. Not bluetooth since it does cancel out some freq.
@@AsianJBlazian I probably didn't have it set properly. Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to set it up right next time :)
Sounds great👍🏻👍🏻 love the sound adjustments and the no gimmicks that bose, sony or other sound systems usually come with. Cant wait for this to come on the 2020 corolla👌🏻
Bro it actually is a gimmick it says its 800 watts if it doesn't get loud enough to hurt your ears then it has to be less then 300 watts rms, sorry bud
@@skrillex9150 probably less than 50rms, a single 6x9 hooked up to a amp from Amazon can get louder
Yes i just bought a camry Le and the sound sucks. There are not speakers on the back just a big empty circle . Does anybody know what is that for?
i like camry
Hey, those JBL systems arnt there to mess around
My 2016 with "JBL Premium sound" is rather lame. There is nowhere near enough sound from the rear. There are 2 tweeters in the back and a sub on the drivers side rear. The passenger side rear has a cutout for a speaker with a plastic filler panel in it. Anybody know if there's a wire harness in place for that passenger side rear or would you have to run wires to it? Pretty sad I have about 300 dollars in an old beater truck stereo that sounds way better than this thing.
how is the base system? Im not looking to get the jbl on the camry but I cant find where ppl test the base model car with the non-jbl sound sytem
Man, I’ve always had great sound systems in my cars. It’s like night and day.
No bass whatsoever in cars with non premium audio. I was driving my sister’s car one time and there’s definitely a huge difference.
I just laugh at people that play loud music in their cars with terrible systems. Yes, they’re that bad.
Can you provide with the placement of the speakers with sizes ?
Mike is this your other channel?
Yes this is my 2nd car channel with extra footage and commentary.
Hi Mike,
I have a Camry SE, obviously, not the JBL system, but from what I have noticed the volume of the sound system adjusts when you're driving. I've noticed it increases in volume in higher speeds (when the engine is pushing more) and goes down when you slow down or are stopped. I'm not exactly sure what this is called, but I have heard this is a typical feature in all factory car systems.
+Charliegone It must have speed adjusted volume. Some cars allow you to adjust it or turn it off.
speed compensated volume (it might be what the 'automatic sound levelizer' is in this video), I hate it and turn it off if I am in a vehicle that has it. You can turn it off, or it has different levels you can change it to. I don't have a camry, so I dunno how but it should be right there with the other audio settings.
You can turn it off. I was able to turn it off on my 2018 Camry XSE
its called ADS
Well I was able to disable it in the settings. Now I don't really need it since I had a sound system installed. It sounds 5x better than my stock speakers and setup. Kept the head unit (kind of have to), installed a DSP, 5 channel amplifier replacing all the speakers with focal integration speakers and installed a shallow mount subwoofer and box in the trunk. Can't even tell it has a sound system unless you open the trunk and see the sub on the right side (in the area of the wheel wells. The DSP makes a huge difference. Allows me to adjust the sound accordingly. I am very happy with how it turned out. I have the original speakers...the magnets are very small. The front mid woofers from factory are actually some kind of glass poly, but the front dash speaker is a paper cone speaker. Same for rear door speakers, paper cone. This is for regular typical sound system btw, not the JBL. By the way, all the Camry's do have a hole in the rear deck for a subwoofer. I measured it to be about 8" or so.
In your opinion does this have better bass than the 2014 Toyota camry?
Are you blocking the sound from the tweeters in the A pillars, with the sun shade?
No I mention in the video how loud they sound compared to the rest of the speakers.
Cool!
it sure looks like they are covered up.
I feel like my jbl tweeters dont work. Do i have to set it in the settings??
He definitely had the right one covered. Plus the mid speakers are far back in the dash, so they were covered too.
Can you do this with the JBL in the Tacoma?
The JBL system in my 2016 Toyota Camry XSE V6 was nothing compared to the Bose system in my 2017 Nissan Maxima Platinum. The JBL system in the Camry just doesn't sound loud enough. I have owned three Camry models, and in the two previous models (2014 and 2016), I have been disappointed with the stereo and leather seats (uncomfortable). The system in my 2006 Camry, however, was different...I was very impressed with it and it was just a base level LE! I may yet go back to Toyota if they make their seats a little more comfortable, similar to what Nissan has done with their zero-gravity seats, and they put a little more "oomph" into their stereos and make them sound louder!
BananaSamurai I had an 07 camry with the jbl sound system and it had some kick to it
@@user-oq3lv6lv7x That's mine. I am so glad because I am still kickin my old Camry. I am looking at the 2020 and was shocked that sound quality has apparently gone DOWN over the years, but I am hoping Toyota stepped it back up. I don't know how hard switching out the system would be.
Your 2006 camry was a quieter car
is there huge difference bewtween regular 6 and jbl? like im not sure to my self if i should pay extra 5k for jbl upgrade with v6
Did you ever get that figured out? I'm going through what you are now
You don’t need v6 to own jbl
It also come with v4
Entune 3.0 on Camry SUUUUCKKSSS....
What is that and why is that? Just beginning my research and need to learn. Also, what kind of scary shit is it that you've seen my man? :P
How do you add an amp to that kind of head unit? It needs it
That infotainment system looks like something from 2001. Lol
True. Only Treble, Mid and Bass?!? I was expecting DSP like hall, studio, concert et., al. My 2018 Prius has JBL but no bass?!? Manual says has subwoofer but can't find it anywhere!
I’ll have to upload a video of my 2018 Camry SE with stock head unit diamond speakers all around along with 2 12” JL audio subs powered by 2 1000 watt amps
Do 2021 Camry have the same speaker
can you buy this jbl system? or is the 2018 camry the only toyota that has this?
You should have had some bass on the recording. Too tinny.
This is for any Toyota cambry u only for radios jbl
The system in a standard sedan like a Camry is never going to be good or great- just okay. Make sure you get the sound package if you want it to be "okay." If you guys are actually wanting a premium, HiFi sound in your car from the factory, you'll have to buy something like a BMW 3 series. If you're not willing to shell out the cash for one or a used one, don't expect to be bumping in your camry- but don't make the mistake of not getting the sound package or you'll be really sorry!
Andrew Davison or one could get speakers/crossover/amp installed.
Just bought an 18 Camry Se and yes the factory speakers (6) are horrible. This will be my first upgrade. I would like the head unit replaced but not sure if possible. Any thoughts?
You can not replace the head unit. You need to get a DSP such as a JL Audio Fix-86....It will give you a flat signal...and you can send that to aftermarket amps and speakers.....this is what I plan on doing when I get a Camry later in the year...I already have speakers/sub & amps that I have been taking from car to car for YEARS!!....They sound AWESOME!!....Good luck!
Bake Master would never sound as good, especially without a DSP or at least a custom tuning where the shop uses their own DSP to custom to the sound perfectly to your car, as BMW has done. (or Lexus with their mark Levinson, etc). Let me reiterate: no aftermarket system will come close to the factory system of luxury cars, unless you pay a solid 600-700$ for custom sound work using an analyzer and a DSP.
Andrew Davison I could not disagree more....it is much more difficult today to replace original stereos....but the aftermarket system will ALWAYS sound better when done properly...It's just getting more complicated.....& costlier....unfortunately....
i brought a used 2018 camry xse and it has jbl audio but the rear speakers in the door don't work. There is no sound from them. I am trying to find where the amplifier in this car is located. Can you tell me where the amplifier is located?
In my 2008 camry, it’s located under the front passenger seat. Maybe it’s the same for yours
What trim of the camry is that
excelente vehículo
Why the JBL GreenEdge speakers sounds so terrible?
Mine are fine, this "demo" just stinks.
all the 2018 toyota camrys have jbl system?
No. Xse and XLE. V6
4 cylinders have it too as an optional package on the XLE and XSE
my 2017 xse JBL sucks compare to my 2007 XLE JBL. The problem was its amplifier was to small and cheap speaker
Phong HO Yeah that's very true it wasn't good enough. I believe the 2014.5 Camry XLE has the best sound system. I currently own one. The bass is pretty smooth. Sometimes people think I have 15's in the trunk. XM radio really enhances the JBL even on low volume it sounds how it would on Vol.15 but yeah the best years are 2007 and 2014.5
Ameer Gaming Yes but not all Bose systems sound good. And they sound best connected to Bluetooth other then that not so much.
TRUE I OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE AND THE BASE ON THE SOUND SYSTEM IS AMAZING FOR THE PRIZE I WOULD SAY. IT IS MUCH MORE BETTER SOUNDING THAN ANY OTHER CARS THAT I BEEN IN. I KNOW IT KINDA SHAKES AROUND A LITTLE BIT IF YOU PUT TOO MUCH BASE ON IT BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT DO A VERY GOOD JOB.
Fabian Gonzales sis has a 2007 jbl real good sounding especially if you hook up aftermarket tweeters
@@FdgIV99SpaceGhost I second that my 07 Camry had killer sound. I crank it too. I have always loved it and am shocked that things have gone downhill. What is a 2014.5? A mid-2014 model?
Definitely average compare to more luxury vehicles. Some songs sound muddy and lack base at the same time
Although I think highly of Toyota, I like the dash and display on my 2016 Civic EX much better than the new Camry, but I don't like the cheap ass defective Firestone tires that came on my new Civic. They suck.
Damm and we thought that they had bad volume I would bye it just for the radio
I love the Camry. But it's really expensive tho even the cheapest trim
The Camry is nice but I’ll rather by the accord I don’t like how they did the touch screen placement it looks like. Toyota sitting within a square and if you get the base LE you don’t get a touch screen just a plastic screen and the outside looks ugly with the razor looking grill. But other than that it’s a sexy car
Look at the Honda Insight then.
Does this have an underseat driver sub?
Boats N Hoes No, duel 6x9s in the rear
Bass is in the rear window.
I saw too, the sub are underseats driver
How much is that head unit?
Kevin Graham 1,200
Just the main unit without the speakers is relatively cheap. Under $400 on eBay.
What model is this camry?
xse v6
@@96samjo does the jbl sound system only comes in the v6 model or can i get it in the 4 cylinder too?
Mikeymike yes only v6...
The UI looks like the UI on the Apple 2 computer.
Toyota is stuck in the 80s.
has high end, lacks power for sq. cheap bass. unit
mmdragon1964 The high end is so overwhelming, it’s giving me a headache at any volume. I would love to meet the idiots who designed this system. Not audiophiles. No bass at all. First chance I get, I’m getting something else installed.
The 2018 and up Camry JBL systems SUCK!!! My 2010 Nissan Bose system was much better. JBL lost so much money on selling the head unit that had to skimp on the amp and speakers. Then charged Toyota $378 a door speaker. The door speaker and sub woofers are complete JUNK!!! They are literally worth like $5 each. The magnets are the size of a nickle. And the amp is proprietary so cannot just be swapped with any normal amp. You need a $250 switch kit to do this. But if you just go online and find some (low sensitivity) replacement speakers it will sound a lot better.
i have a '19 Camry XSE V6 with the JBL setup. it sounds great unless you play a bass-heavy song. i thought my speaker was blown out bc it makes this weird whiny/buzzing noise with certain types of bass hits (like a blown out speaker) regardless of volume. i brought to the toyota dealer since i bought the car new the week prior. the service guy tells me that toyota doesnt have great speakers so i said "no, i got the jbl set-up" to which he replied, "yeah they still just use toyota speakers tho". They still checked and tested everything and as it turns out the speakers have no damage, they just suck. i felt so tricked and betrayed. shame on you toyota
Matty Luca I sometimes hear that certain noise in certain EDM songs I play.
But I don’t know if I should get it checked out. Most other songs play fine
Play "for free" by drake. Max the bass.😎😎
JBL system is not very good an nearly impossible to upgrade, stick with the base system and upgrade an amp and the speakers, mostly the fronts.
فيه عرب ✋😂
why every sound sytem review came with shittiest song ?
Two factors
1. Subjectivity
2. Copyright Laws
Bro I wish you could have played some Dream Theater or OZZY.... Give it a real sound test this techno crap blows!!
Try uploading videos with Dream Theater or Ozzy music to TH-cam and see what happens.
What nobody realizes is how super strict youtube is with copyright stuff. If even 1 second of your video has recognized copyright music in it even if it was some kind of background noise, they will mute the entire video
Maan play some eminem songs 😎
I like what he played, but I heard two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside of the 2019 Camry rather nicely.
TRY a good Tom Petty song instead of that noise you tested. I had to turn it off ,,
Tom Petty's ghost will shut down my channel for copyright infringement.
Not a chance , nice try, it's still noise
Mark And Blitz It seems you are unaware of how militant record companies can be with copyrighted material on TH-cam.
he cant just play whatever he wants, youtube will take his video down
@@MikesCarInfo I like the track you choose. Tom Petty I would pass on.
Sounds aweful
Bass on jbl system is trash.
