You sir are the real hero, couldn't find anything on speakers for the access cab, I bought mine slightly used with 10k miles and whomever owned it prior took the 6.5 speakers from the half doors, and both tweeters, unbeknownst to me until tinkering with the balancer/fader one day! Luckily I already own a pair of kicker 6x9s I had pulled from my jeep, but needed to purchase the remainder to complete my truck, Can't thank you enough for this video and the additional links!
Glad to hear that you found this video helpful Colin! When I was filming this there weren’t any other access cab door speaker videos out there. All double cabs. Even the crutchfield instruction manuals were vague. Awesome that this video helped you out! Us access cab guys gotta stick together! 👍
Outstanding I just bought my 2023 access cab tacoma. Sound system sounds terrible so now that you taught me how to install a plug and play speakers system. I'm going to do the upgrade asap!
Hey JB ! I got the speakers done no problems! I didn't even have to use a breaker bar for the Seat belt bolt. Both doors took me a little over a hour. I will be doing the front doors probably in the spring of next year. Thanks again for a great how 2 video you're the man!
Awesome Kenneth! Glad this went smoothly for you! Sounds like it was a piece of cake! Appreciate the positive feedback! Thanks for being a cool fan of the channel!
Watched your other two speaker installs. Thanks a lot Mister, I now have 3 pairs of speakers on order, LOL!!! My Access Cab Tacoma just over 4 weeks old and getting new speakers. How Dare you Sir, Make my New Truck, even Newer!!!! I LOVE IT!! Great videos, and great information on trim and panel removal too. Looking forward to more mod videos, keep'em com'en
Huge difference in the before and after. I'm like you. Doesn't need to make my ears bleed. Just needs to sound good. I like my sound over volume. I love my Bose sound system at home because it sounds great and if I want to turn it up it still sounds great.
Whitie in Vermont you and I think alike! I hate it when music is so loud that everything starts vibrating in a car. Doesn’t sound good. I’m a bigger fan of clarity. Bose makes great stuff. I have a single speaker by them and even that sounds great!
just got a 2019 access cab, planned on doing these upgrades, and you have by far the best instructional videos on how to do this. Keep making videos if you do any more upgrades! I plan on adding the "hidden" led bar mod behind the front bumper in the future 🤙
FalcoCaliber thanks for the positive feedback bud! I appreciate it! I got some ideas in mind. Just need the time to do/film them! Keep an eye on the channel. Good luck with the led bar upgrade. Thanks for watching!
I never did like the 4 full size door tacos. It all, of course, is very subjective. I frigging love my 3rd gen access cab taco. I'm 6'2" and sleep in the back.
👍 right there with ya Robert! The four door tacos have too small of a bed for my taste. I don’t drive anyone else around except the garage gal so I have no need for those extra seats. Long beds are great for hauling! Thanks for watching bud!
@@GarageGear cool. I have an 21 sr. You video was great. Im just hoping when I take the access cab door panels off there are wires run already. I traded in my loaded 17 sr like yours and i miss the rear speakers.
@@Ridezallday1679 got it! If you have speakers there already the you should be good. Other than that not sure if there are wires of there are no speakers
Haha yeah really! I’ve seen some guys doing that to these trucks. I’m like guys, 2003 wants their neon lights back...lol. Thanks for being an awesome fan Flint!
Thanks for the video series, they are true time savers. I ran into the same issue as @Mountain Chief did with the access door plugs being different on my 2020 Tacoma looking like the Camry plugs. Instead of Amazon though, I did purchase the 6 1/2 's through Crutchfield (since the brackets and wiring harnesses were included with the speakers) and after talking with their tech support, they are sending out the plugs similar to the 2018 Camry.
No problem Aaron! Thanks for checking them out! It sounds like that seems to be the only difference as we go up in model years. Enjoy your new level of sound quality! 👍
Just done this. Connectors were different on my 2020 OR Access Cab but no worries - all worked out proper. Thanx for the video. Will tackle the front doors at a later date.
Not inch sound coming from these rear speakers... moved the balance all the way to the back speakers and barely anything coming out of em. any thoughts?
Edward Dillon access cabs don’t seem to get the attention they deserve. I like the look of them almost better in my opinion! The four door has its place if you have a lot of passengers but if you don’t you’re just driving seats around and in that case I would go with the longer bed. Fit more stuff ya know!
Another great video. I got the bottom of the line 2020 because I didn't need all the bells and whistles, so mine only has covers where your speakers go. I assume I could purchase the grills somewhere, but then I doubt my truck would have the speaker wires. I will pull the covers and take a look. Any ideas on what or where I could purchase the wire harnesses? I love your set up and would like the same.
You may want to give a call to crutchfield.com and see if they have the exact wire harness for your situation. They could maybe point you in the right direction at least. Thanks for watching. Let me know how it works out! 👍
Question… why did you go with the Kicker DSC650 as opposed to the Kicker 46CSC654? The middle part of the 46CSC654 match the speakers you installed in the front doors.
Good question. I don’t have an answer for you on this but you may want to check crutchfield.com. You can probably find your answers there. Thanks for watching A1!
Hey JB thanks for the video. I ordered my 225 pc tool kit yesterday at a great price. Harbor Freight has them for $100 plus tax and shipping. $114 total in Vermont. Great price! You should do a video on it now. You're the reason I bought it!
Whitie in Vermont Hey Whitie, AWESOME! you won’t be disappointed with it! I got a long list of videos coming out and I’ll just have to get that on there too! Hope all is well! Take care my friend!
@@GarageGear thanks! All is well here. Maybe you can tell your wife that you need a set for your truck so you can have 2 sets. The price is right! I hope that you are doing well along with your family.
Good question! I thought about it but I don’t blast my beats. Everything sounds great inside and I don’t really see a need for it. That’s just my opinion. Thanks for watching Robert!
@@GarageGear got it all set up and works great! I couldn't find the parts for it anywhere untilI saw your video. Thanks for posting the links for everything. I like it and now I'm gonna order this setups for my double cab. It's kinda wired but the bass sounds way better on the double cab. I think I'll get a woofer for my access cab since the back seat area is just for storage. Have you done that?
@@alexgarcia3900 awesome my friend! Go for it! I have not done any other sound mods since this install. I would like to do an amp but I’m still figuring that one out. If come across anything please let me know.
@@GarageGear there's one that's called oem speakers I believe and they make a great system but I don't think they sell just the woofer setup unfortunately. But it looks very nice and stock but it's also very pricey
Excellent video.. Thanks for sharing.. I recently bought that same set of speakers for my Toyota Tundra (Not JBL).. I think I definitely made a good purchase. In your video I can hear that it sounds harder and more classic. Do you understand that I gain more bass?
Hey Yorma! I would definitely reach out to crutchfield! If you give them a call they can tell you exactly the part(s) you will need! Thanks for checking out my channel!
What if my tacoma never came with speakers back there? but there is clearly a sign on the panel for the speakers, I'm just trying to see if there are wires hiding back there or would I need to completely rewire?
After upgrading all 6 speakers did you notice the head unit overheating or being overpowered by the new speakers? Do you feel the need of installing an amplifier?
No overheating whatsoever. For me the sound is fine and very clear. If you’re going for loud volume you may want to consider an amp! Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear Just bought my first Toyota and it’s and access cab 4x4. Been a Ford guy since I could drive. These Tacomas and 4 runners I’ve been looking at them for years.
That’s a good question! It sounds like you own a SR model? The mounts for the speakers may be there under the plastic door panels but you may not have speaker holes in the plastic panels. You could make/ cut your Own out or you may have to buy new panels. Not exactly sure what your situation looks like there. Thanks for checking out my channel David!
Awesome video, thanks! Quick question, what do you recommend to do if some idiot totally screwed himself by stripping the seatbelt bolt and mangling it to the point where it looks like a soup sandwich? Asking for a friend
Haha whoops! We’ll Doug you could try a dealership to see if they have one, you may be able to find one online or maybe even at a collision shop too. If you can find a door diagram online you may be able to find a part number. Thanks for the positive feedback Doug. Let me know how it works out!
hey!! I was wondering if there's any noticeable difference between the kicker CS and DS models? since you choose different models for front and back. Thanks a lot
have some questions, will this also work on 2nd gen? and did yours have the speakers in access doors mine is a blank panel so not sure mine is wired but i see you have basically same as me. I blew 1 of my 6x9 in door, so thats the next video i am watching of yours
Tim Francis hey bud, I’m not 100% sure they are the same. I think they are very similar with only some minor differences. I think it depends on the model. Which model do you have. Some models may not have had them in there.
Hi GarageGear, thanks for the super informative video! I was wondering if you have the Entune Premium system? I have the Entune Plus and read that the speaker upgrade will not be as satisfying due to that. Any insight would be amazing, thank you !
Do you plan on adding a dedicated amp to power these speakers? I've upgraded all mine thanks to your video but they're still not as great as I was expecting. Might have to install an amp, I just really don't want to chop into a harness. I have a 2021 Tacoma with non JBL system. Can't find a plug and play harness anywhere
@@ExploreAnywhere there are some Tacoma models that don’t have speakers in the access doors. If you want to install speakers in those doors you may find help on crutch field.com. But I can’t be totally sure. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
hi i was wondering were you able to run wire for new speaker ? I have the same truck same year i havent removed door panel to find out if mine is prewired
Now the biggest difference will be if you upgrade the HU to something Non-Factory, then you can tune it alot better, plus u might get added features ur factory HU did not give you!~ The Kenwood Hu is showing me the voltage, tire pressure & temp and also the temp gauges an fuel %, the factory Hu did not show any of that!~
A FEW THINGS: 1. This is much harder than the front speaker install because putting the panel back on is ridiculous. 2. Removing the side trim before removing the door cover might help, and it's not hard to put back on 3. If you deform a red snapper just toss it, it's not worth the headache trying to make it fit 4. Don't touch the seatbelt adjustment area. Seriously, it needs to fit right back on in the same position, so if you adjust it when the door is off you will regret it. I gave up trying to get the outer side back to perfect, those panels are BRUTAL. Seriously, take it slow
FalcoCaliber this I think was definitely the trickiest of all the installs. Definitely need to go slow and take your time. I did warp a few red tabs in the process but they went back in fine. No issues with the seatbelt on mine. Did you do this on a 3rd Gen? Or an older model?
2020 Tacoma Access cab rear door speaker update. Toyota change the plug on the rear speakers starting in 2020 3rd gen. Here's the link for the rear door adapter plug you will need to install your 6 1/2 kickers. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08213PXTP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Putting the fucking panel on was by far the most frustrating thing I’ve done in some time. 🖕🏼 you Toyota! No reason to make removing/installing interior panel pieces difficult. On top of that four the red fasteners fucking broke, completely unnecessary. Now I’m beginning to understand why people are saying quality of Toyotas are declining. When I see shit like this I see where those folks are coming from.
You sir are the real hero, couldn't find anything on speakers for the access cab, I bought mine slightly used with 10k miles and whomever owned it prior took the 6.5 speakers from the half doors, and both tweeters, unbeknownst to me until tinkering with the balancer/fader one day!

What year/ model do you have A1?
@@GarageGear its a 2017 tacoma 2.7 2wd, utility package access cab
@@ExploreAnywhere there are some Tacoma models that don’t have speakers in the access doors. If you want to install speakers in those doors you may find help on crutch field.com. But I can’t be totally sure. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
hi i was wondering were you able to run wire for new speaker ? I have the same truck same year i havent removed door panel to find out if mine is prewired
@@atangelhernandez9440 haven’t tried yet!
You need an amp to push those new speakers 🔊
bushman 223 I’m working on something for that. Trying to find a set up! I’ll keep ya posted!
Now the biggest difference will be if you upgrade the HU to something Non-Factory, then you can tune it alot better, plus u might get added features ur factory HU did not give you!~
The Kenwood Hu is showing me the voltage, tire pressure & temp and also the temp gauges an fuel %, the factory Hu did not show any of that!~
@@Warg666 cool my friend! Thanks for sharing
A FEW THINGS:
1. This is much harder than the front speaker install because putting the panel back on is ridiculous.
2. Removing the side trim before removing the door cover might help, and it's not hard to put back on
3. If you deform a red snapper just toss it, it's not worth the headache trying to make it fit
4. Don't touch the seatbelt adjustment area. Seriously, it needs to fit right back on in the same position, so if you adjust it when the door is off you will regret it.
I gave up trying to get the outer side back to perfect, those panels are BRUTAL. Seriously, take it slow
FalcoCaliber this I think was definitely the trickiest of all the installs. Definitely need to go slow and take your time. I did warp a few red tabs in the process but they went back in fine. No issues with the seatbelt on mine. Did you do this on a 3rd Gen? Or an older model?
@@GarageGear 3rd gen, 2019. I'm gonna buy more red tabs in the future and try to get it back to factory, but it was hard
FalcoCaliber keep me posted on how it goes.
Where you in the military??? This video is dummy proof so there’s not way I can mess this up, thanks man!!
No military experience but I am a teacher! This is a pretty straight forward process! Thanks for watching Real Mitch! 👍
2020 Tacoma Access cab rear door speaker update. Toyota change the plug on the rear speakers starting in 2020 3rd gen. Here's the link for the rear door adapter plug you will need to install your 6 1/2 kickers. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08213PXTP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching!

Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Big difference if you don’t know any better 🙄
djswansn thanks for watching!
Putting the fucking panel on was by far the most frustrating thing I’ve done in some time. 🖕🏼 you Toyota! No reason to make removing/installing interior panel pieces difficult. On top of that four the red fasteners fucking broke, completely unnecessary. Now I’m beginning to understand why people are saying quality of Toyotas are declining. When I see shit like this I see where those folks are coming from.
Putting the panel on is a process. If actually filmed how long it took me this video would have been pretty long. Thanks for watching.
Your scarein me dude! I'm going to try to attempt this tomorrow! 😳
