Speakers! Please Help

[gkw33]

Hi All,

I recently purchased a Yaris (51 Reg) 1.0. I took it in for a service and asked about the side (door) Speakers as no sound was coming out! I was told by the Toyota centre that there were no Speakers actually in the grille!! And also that they could not fit Speakers in the doors, which seems a bit silly to me as there is a space for them.

I would like to upgrade the sound quality in the car. What are my options? Speakers on the back shelf or would it be possible to add speakers in the door. Also where could I go to get them fitted? Halfords?

Thanks for any help :) ,

Gary

Hmm thouhgt most yaris came with door Speakers, never mind, yes it is possible to fit door Speakers, if not mistaken believe they are 13".....some1 back me up here

back Speakers are always good as adds some rear sound 2 the car, but then if you are thinking of getting a sub, you may just want to consider up rating all the front speakers as the sub will provide rear bass and may find with 6x9s they are compeating with it...

halfrods will fit them, but will cost u a fair bit and may only fit it if its their own speakers, INO ur best option would be to buy off the net such as

www.cel-direct.com or search in google, ull be able 2 find the speakers alot cheaper, also look in ur local newspaper for local garages, you'll likly find some audio specialists who will be happy to help with fitting

Thanks! Yeah I can't believe there are grilles for door Speakers but no Speakers in them! weird! Is it a big job to add door Speakers, with the wiring etc. I know a little about cars but I'm no expert! Is there a specific type of speaker that will fit?

Cheers,

Gary

It only has 11k on the clock! Soon change that! Yeah I can't get over dummy grilles! It's like it's pretending to have door Speakers! The cars got a CD player so I can't understand it. I'll probably find a local garage to fit some new ones.

whoa mate!! save yaself the money, it really aint that hard!! but with the pix il get, itl be a walk through for you and take a couple of hours!!

but its upto you!! personally i like putting stuff in my car myself, gives me satisfaction and experiance!! plus its cheaper!

[gkw33]

Do you know what size speaker will fit into the door?

[breezer]

anything upto 13!! but i think a few people (like jaxx) has 17cms or sumthing, but that would make life harder!! i have 10cms in mine!! but your best bet is 13cm and theyl be good!!

cheers mate! I wonder if anyone else has had a Yaris with door speaker grilles but no Speakers in them? Maybe it depends on the spec??

[breezer]

yeah it does mate!! all yaris 1.0L "S" models dont have them in the door, as they are the standardest, lol, if theres such a word.

I'l be upgrading my Speakers in the doors again in a few month as i only bought a cheap pair for now.

If ya want a guide with pictures, telling you what to do etc etc, just add me to msn!!

My b'friend has updated the Speakers in my 51 reg yaris, we used 13' in the door and 10' in the dashboard. As breezer said piece of pee!! If you click on he help pages on the top of this page they gove you instructions on fitting different things.
