avalenzuela1 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) So This Is My First Post Ever. Im Very Exited To Finally Learn A Few Stuff And Get Ideas To Use In The Future. So After Looking Around In Various PLaces Looking For A Way To Change Out The Door Speakers, I Just Couldn't Find Anything. I Mainly Didn't Attempt To Figure It Out Myself Due To Fear That I Might Break A Clip Or Something Or Scratch Any Part Of The Door Panel. I Finally Decided To Figure It Out Myself And I Felt Like It Would Be Good To Post It Up For People That Are Going Through The Same Struggle That I Went Through Or For People Interested In Changing Out The Speakers. The Tools I Used Were *10mm Bit For The Socket Wrench With Extension (Remove Bolt Behind Door Handle) *Impact Gun/Screwdriver *#2 Phillips Bit (Remove Screw Behind Door Handle Next To The Bolt) *T30 Bit (Remove Screw Underneath Pull Door) *T20 Bit (Remove Speakers) *Plastic Pry Tool ( Pry The Door Panel Starting From The Bottom) *Micro Screw Driver Flat ( Remove Cover Behind Door Handle And Pull Door) 1st Step Was To Take The Micro Screw Driver To Remove The Cover On The Bottom Of The Pull Door And Behind The Door Handle 2nd Step Take The 10mm Socket Wrench And Remove The Bolt Located Behind The Door Handle 3rd Step Was Take My Impact Gun With The #2 Phillips Bit And Removed The Screw Located Behind The Door Handle Next To The Bolt 4th Step Was Take My Impact Gun With The T30 Bit And Remove The Screw Located On The Bottom Of The Pull Door. 5th Step Was To Take My Plastic Pry Tool And Pull On The Bottom Of The Door Panel And Work My Way Up On Both Sides Of The Door Panel. 6th Step Was Pull The Door Panel Up And Remove The Door Handle Which Is Just Clipped To The Door Panel And Also Disconnect All The Harness Cables ( Windows, Locks, Mirrors, ETC....) 7th Step Was Take My Impact Gun With The T20 Bit On It And Remove All 4 Screws Holding The Speaker And Disconnect The Speaker Harness 8th Step You Can Do It How You Please. You Can Either Buy Speaker Harness That You Wire To The New Speaker And Just Plug N Play Or You Can Just Splice The Cables And Attach With A Piece Of New Speaker Wire, Solder It And Tape It Up. After Thats Done You Can Now Put Everything Back In Its Place. Edited October 15, 2013 by avalenzuela1 travis9935 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalenzuela1 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 BTW Out Of Topic But Can Anyone Help Me Upload Pictures. It Keeps Saying File Is Too Large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to Dodge Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Welcome to the forum and thanks for the info. 50kb is all that they allow to post a pic. I had to go into my phone and change the picture settings to make the pic as small as possible. It is a little frustrating trying to take a pic that small. Maybe someone else will have a better answer for that but this is what I had to do to upload a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethdeks Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 just upload the pictures to a image hosting site like photobucket or imgurl and then use the embed image button(looks like a polaroid icon) and paste its link in there. i find this works the best. just remember not to post to big of pictures or else it will cause people to have to scroll sideways to see the whole picture.

avalenzuela1 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Here Are The Pics. Also If Anyone Is Interested I Also Happen To Install A Backup Camera But Instead I Removed The Rearview Mirror And Installed A New One With A Monitor So That Everytime I Reverse The Camera Turns On And Is Shown Through The Mirror Instead Of The Head Unit Or Adding An Extra Monitor http://i.imgur.com/8h8Hdpq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XWk8GDr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XaspOt7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TJO1821.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vOjqL1a.jpg BTW Thank You For The Help Addicted To Dodge And Dethdeks Edited October 16, 2013 by avalenzuela1 Addicted to Dodge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to Dodge Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Nice work, did the speaker change make a difference? I might have to try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalenzuela1 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Man Honestly There Is A Big Difference. If You Put The Volume Up High With The Oem Speakers It Would Sound Distorted. When You Take Out The Oem Speakers You Will Notice The Difference Just By The Size Of The Magnet And The Weight. The Oem Have A Small Magnet And Sarcastically Weigh About A Pound. It Also Depends What Kind Of Speakers You Install. But Honestly Compared To Oem It Makes A Big Improvement. While Testing Them I Put The Volume Up To 38 And The Voice Was Clearly Heard And They Add A Bit Of Bass. My Next Step Is Changing Out The 2 Speakers Under The Dash And Add A Underseat Subwoofer. Also Its Not Expensive If You DIY Just Invest On 2 Pairs Of 6x9 And The Rest Is Real Easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avalenzuela1 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hey Nerner um honestly I do not know. There is however a big amount of depth space In The 2012 unsure about The 2009-2010. harrisjohn6 the cameras power wire was connected to the reverse light. It was sodered and heat shrink was installed also the camera needed more power so a relay switch was added to the 12V DC located in the trunk on the left panel. and i got ground by removing the piece of plastic in the trunk on top of the headliner. the trunk panel was removed and a hole was drilled in between the license plate lights and ran the cables inside and hooked up the camera to all the wiring. The mirror or whatever your going to use for monitor was installed in the rear 12V DC in the trunk as well because i just couldnt access the one below the stereo. instead i ran all the wires through the headliner all the way to the trunk.

travis9935 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Anyone add a hi/lo or audiocontrol LCQ-1 yet? I tried patching in behind the stereo for the high outputs to the LCQ but I'm not getting any sound thru them? :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisjohn6 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Anyone add a hi/lo or audiocontrol LCQ-1 yet? I tried patching in behind the stereo for the high outputs to the LCQ but I'm not getting any sound thru them? :-( I am having a similar issue except I am using the Rockford 3Sixty.3 DSP, I have a 2013 Journey. I changed my speakers to Rockford Fosgate 100 amp 6X9's and there is an improvement but I really want to get my DSP and amp going. I also noticed the original speakers in my AVP were only 15 watts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
