Toyota Rav4 (2019- 2023 +) dashboard speaker upgrade
In this video I will show you how easy it is to upgrade your dashboard/tweeter speakers on 2019 + Toyota Rav4. I will be installing Infinity Reference 3022cfx 3 1/2 inch 75W. These speakers deliver clear sound with great bass and looks great. This installation was easy, all plug and play with right connectors from Red wolf.

Take a drink every time he says “plug and play”
Thanks! Great video, bought the same speakers and feel confident in installing mine in minutes!
Very clear and straight to the point video; definitely, I will upgrade the speakers in my RAV4 too, thanks mate 👍!
Thanks. Upgraded my rav4 2022 hybrid following your video, much better sound now.
Great video, thank you for the detailed tutorial and the recommendations. I´ll update later after the installation.
I tried the rockford fosgate 3 1/2 and didnt like them , then I tried the Kicker CS 3 1/2 and they sound great. I didnt have to adjust the sound levels at all and I can hear the pick strumming the strings and the base is very good too. Black eyed peas are very good for testing highs low and mids.
Thanks for your advice! I bought from crutchfield and they sent the wiring harness for free with it. 2023 hybrid woodlands
Thanks for the recommendation. Great video and installation took no time at all. Such a good and easy upgrade. Sounds great!
Much Better sound
Just what I was looking for - the plug-n-play connector makes DIY so easy.
Sound so much better
I love your videos buddy I enjoy upgrading my rav4 I've done a lot of awesome upgrades thanks to your videos. I am upgrading my dash speakers now
They sound amazing
just ordered some can't wait for the door speaker video!!
Door speakers video coming out soon, i suppose to receive those speaker adapter/connectors. Sound quality is very good with these speakers.
@@nazarettos6987 just installed the dash speakers... now I need the new door speakers because it feels like the dash speakers over power the old front doors speakers!
I have to warn owners of a late 2022 and the 2023 RAV4, non-JBL equipped models. In the new models an upgraded speaker unit is featured. Although maybe not the same quality of the JBL replacement speaker but it is an improvement nonetheless and the sound is very acceptible now. The factory speakers now have a separate tweeter. And, and this makes the replacement JBL speakers unsuitable, these new speakers have a second plug for the tweeter. So the Red Wolf wire harness is incompatible. So before ordering speakers and wire harnesses, check what kind of speakers are under the windshield!! Bye, Willem, The Netherlands.
What option does a JBL 2023 RAV4 prime have if they want to update the dash speaker?
@@tfsilvia I don’t know that. Easy to find out though, simply remove the speaker grille using a plastic (!) tool and unscrew the two bolts. See what type of connection is used. And keep in mind that you will need a wiring harness. If your car has a speaker unit with a tweeter, which I think it has, forget about the upgrade. The new speaker is quite good and an upgrade might not be worth the trouble.
@@leyland9999 @tfsilvia thats not true. I saw your comment before my 2023 rav came, but after i had purchaed the 3020s with the adapter. I was about to return the speaker after that but just decided to try swapping it out and it worked flawlessly. Followed along to this video too. I now have the JBLs with the harness in my 2023 rav and they work fine.
@@tfsilvia you can go ahead with this upgrade the process is identical, I did it with my 2023 RAV
@@harraisingh9595 All I wanted to say, is that before you purchase the speakers and harnesses, you check what there is under the speaker grille. It didn’t work for me, I returned the speakers but the harnesses have to be sent back to the USA where they came from. Not worth the trouble.
Thank you for a well thought-out installation/swap! And that sound is so much richer and deeper (range) than the OEM. I'm getting these!
You don’t have to cut out old speakers like i did,but it worked nicely for me.
I am not a do-it-yourself type and I become easily frustrated with installing replacement parts by myself. However, I felt encouraged after you showed how easy it would be with your step-by-step instructions. I bought the speakers and wiring from the link you provided and was able to install in my 2019 RAV4 in about 20 minutes. Thank you so much!
Yea its easy and sound is much better.
Great video!!!
You might want to invest in an inexpensive camera or cell camera stand so you can demonstrate things not holding your camera on one hand and so it's easier for you. Thanks for your vlog.
Really good video! I hope you will do another video on changing out the 2019 Rav4 door speakers.
Im gonna do it in few days, its very cold out here.
Good job. I just ordered, already received the connector (cable) and I am only waiting for the speakers to arrive for installation on my 2023 RAV4. Thank you for showing it.
The sound quality is so much better
I'm sure they sound better but it's like comparing apples and oranges - the stock speaker is just a tweeter and the replacement is tweeter and woofer. I appreciate the step by step though.
Love the video
Nice upgrade! Easy too.
I had those original flat sounding speakers. Its a big difference of sound quality now.
@@nazarettos6987 I am considering getting a RAV4 hybrid next year. If I don’t get the higher trim with upgraded sound system, I’ll just upgrade it myself like this. PS why is your video down with upgrading the window up/down switches?
Ohh Harman makes very nice speakers, mostly known for their sub brand jbl
Great video. Good picture quality and audio, Excellent explanation. I just bought a 2024 Rav4 and mine had the same junky dash speaker in it that you show in the video. Now I know how easy it is to preplace it.
Make sure check if everything is the same
Went n bought the front speakers going in on Easter Sunday.
Tremendous sound difference
I followed your instructions to replace the dash speakers in a 2023 RAV4 Prime SE and it worked perfectly. I used the JBL Club 322F which have the same configuration as Infinity Reference 3022cfx. Thank you!
Thanks, Im glad it worked for you.
Hi I have a 2023 rav 4 LE .. where did you buy your speakers from? What did you need to buy outside of the speakers of course? Was the installation as in the video?
What do think about jpl 322F is it worth? I fund different models different price I don’t now what I should chose . Help me 😂 My language not the best I hope you a understand me.
Thank you
My ears thank you !
Isn’t it better now????
in EU, on lower trims, you'll find that on the right side original speak is actually 2 speakers (or a tweeter is there) and has 2 connections there. 1 connection is for the speaker and the 2nd for the tweeter is for the SoS emergency button connected to the button on the "roof dashboard". You can still swap with new speakers like shown on the video, but you won't be able to re-connect the SoS emergency button back on (for me it's fine, don't need it anyways).
My emergency SOS works but only on the right side. I could hear it.
I just bought the same 3.5” and 6.5” speakers before watching this video! I was looking for installation videos and noticed the model numbers were identical. Good to know you liked them. I bought them on Amazon for $47 for open box 3.5” and $59.99 for the 6.5” open box in excellent condition. Hopefully they are easy to install on the door when they arrive on Friday
It is not difficult to install the tweeter ones(small speakers). The only possible hard part is to remove door panel if you do it for the first time. Don’t loose those white retainer clips when you pop the door panel.
Just completed the upgrade on my Rav. Noticed from the factory the bolts on the drivers side speaker were not tightened down! Otherwise a straightforward install, the only difficulty I had was detaching the factory wiring from the clips and tightening down the bolts on the passenger side. After that was amazed at the clarity of the Infinity speakers. Glad I saw this vid. Many thanks! I just may do the door speakers…
Thanks for positive feedback on my video. Yeah these speakers are good, now music is more enjoyable to listen.
@@nazarettos6987 absolutely!
@@nazarettos6987 one thing I noticed while driving is that I hear intermittent crackling sound from the speakers. Not sure what that’s all about. If I change the balance more to the rear it seems to go away
You changed tweters with coaxial speakers?
New Gen5 RAV4 models have 2 connectors and it’s a pain when you attempt to replace it. I decided to hold it for a while since i only rely on KZhead for instructions.
I went to my local car radio place to check out the polarity. Reverse polarity does not impede music for the most part and my ears couldn't really tell apart the difference. But I think your music will sound better if you don't mix up the positive and negative wires. For my 2019 LE Rav4 gas, the shop found the wiring diagram the denotes positive and negative. *** please note this is based on 2019 RAV4 LE gas model. I have no idea if wiring changes from model to model or year to year for the Rav4. There are plenty of car radio places to double check if you're not sure. usually they don't charge very much for this work if you unscrew everything for them to inspect ***** Driver side front dash 3.5 speakers: -Lavender/Black wire is positive + -Lavender/Red wire is negative - Passenger side front dash 3.5 speakers: -Lavender/Light Green is positive+ -Lavender/Blue is negative - The fix for reverse polarity is quite simple. Just criss-cross the 2 wires from the red wolf wiring harness. 1. Take the RED WOLF wire harness 2. There should be a Red and Silver wire. Red is positive and Silver is negative. 3. Use pair of scissors or wire cutter to cut the Red and Silver wire on the wiring harness. (DO NOT CUT THE WIRING COMING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MUCH EASIER TO CUT THE WIRING HARNESS FROM RED WOLF) 4. strip back the insulation to reveal metal strands 5. Connect red wire to silver wire. and vice versa to connect silver wire to red wire. you can twist the wires together from and tape it up using electrical tape. Or you can use wire quick connectors to connect. 6. Done! you can double check your work by tracing the new 3.5 speaker's positive side to the positive side wire coming from the car. New speakers usually have a larger connector (positive) and a smaller connector (negative). *** PS. another way you can check if you have reverse polarity (hooking up positive to negative and vice versa) is to take a look at your red wolf wiring harness (the large plastic end). And to take a look at the OEM speaker connection end. They both have a 4 pin connector set up. The red wolf wiring harness has Positive red wires on the end without plastic clip and negative black wires on the end with plastic clip. (The end with plastic clip is the part of the connector that has the little opening that secures the connector. you have to push this end to release the connection.) Now look at the OEM cheap plastic Toyota speakers you've removed, It also has that 4 pin connector identical to red wolf harness. The positive end is most likely the side with capacitor on the plastic clip opening side. If this is the positive side on the OEM, then the red wolf harness has red positive wires on the other end, thus causing reverse polarity. So not exactly plug and play anymore. **** Let me know if anyone has questions.
I installed it all correctly like in the video, everything works great
@@nazarettos6987 It will work even if the wires have reversed polarity. This is why all the KZhead tutorials don't mention reverse polarity I suspect. My untrained ears couldn't tell the difference. But it's probably not ideal to mix up positive and negative wiring in a speaker. My local pro car radio technician looked up the wiring diagram for my rav4 and swapped the positive and negative in the wire harness.
@@jono601what exactly happens if you do reverse it??
Did you do you rear door speaker and if so is there a video?
kzhead.info/sun/qduxp6WNaKFvp40/bejne.htmlsi=MZaZfhelRrFjxmHx
👍👍👍
Can u tell more about harness wiring does it fit front door speaker and rear, I have RAV4 2023 I want to order same like u 4 speakers and tweeter…
If you have AdVenture model, it might be different. But if it’s LE or XLE harness should work, just the same one I ordered.
@@nazarettos6987 thanks pro
What about the price for the speaker and connector
Will the speakers and connector work with RAV4 Hybrid XLE 2023? Will there be any issue of polarity?
I don’t know why people asking me about issues with polarity. I can clearly hear my music I’m very happy with the speakers.
Great video!!! I have the JBLs and noticed a fantistic change, but now have a doubt which deliver the best quality. Are you planning to add an amplifier when you change all speakers? I can't wait for the results. Please share your opinion. Thank you!!!
Jbl is great choice for speakers, but I prefer Infinity. Both made by Harma, I don’t think there is tremendous difference in sound quality. Im not planning to install subwoofer because I need space in my trunk. I’m just doing a simple upgrade and that’s it.
Any idea of why the box of the 3.5" speakers is so different to the box larger ones? any suspicious of fake Harman Speakers on the 3.5s?
I don’t think so
Does all this "full" sound come only from those small 2 Speakers? Thats actually pretty impressive..
Yes it is, as well later on i replaced 4 door speakers as well.
Did you change the polarity of the cables as mention on the amazon info ?
I did not change any polarity, speakers work just fine. Perfect sound
if you not already add the mini amp, you miss out a lot of those speakers, i added beat sonic amp, is night and day. 😀
Share pictures
@@nazarettos6987 YT didn't allow me to post link, just google beatsonic PA2, they got installation video at the bottom along with the amp pricing.
@@nazarettos6987 google Beatsonic PA2
Just did the install. And was sooooo simple....I noticed the capacitors taped on the box but I didn't use them ..Will it affect the performance if not put on??
My speakers are fine without the capacitor
I have distortion from those JBL Club 322F for my 2023 Toyota rav4 with the included Metra wire harness. Still distorted on high volumes, any solution to this?
Could be bad wiring
Buy and install bass blocker capacitor on red wire(positive side) of each speaker kzhead.info/sun/dpmipKx6qJaBdWw/bejne.html
I just got a 2023 RAV4 with the JBL system - would my speakers be the same as yours (2019)?
I cannot tell you for 100% if it’s the same speaker or not probably not but JBL sounds good
Hi. Toyota Rav4 2019 to 2022 the speakers wire adapter harness is the same ? Thank you.
Yes it should be same
Good job man I will make order today About the connector which one should be buy?
www.amazon.com/dp/B07RMZ4CR6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details. This is for tweeter dashboard speakers connector.
I have 2023 Prime and the speaker and the connector are totally different. Red Wolf does not make connectors for my car. Metra does 8109 but it has to be modified with correct polarity.
I think prime already have good speakers installed
@@nazarettos6987 Nope. Paper crap, sounds dull. Replacing all with the almost the same as yours. For 6.5 inch I bought Kappa 62ix.
@@sushi8204also picked up a 2024 prime. It doesn’t sound bad for a non-JBL but I am going to try this same Reference dash speakers without bass blocker and reverse polarity just like on this video. Speaker look the same but I haven’t pulled out the speaker to see the harness so stay tune when I get the red wolf harness tomorrow lol
@@verynick That was 3 weeks ago. Since then I returned Kappa 62is and bought 4 Rockford Fosgate P1675 for the doors. Metra 8109 is correct harness but polarity needs to be reversed. No big deal. I used very tiny screwdriver which I flattened with the file to remove those prongs and reverse them. Also P1675 have larger prongs so I had to cut the ends of the 8109 and crimp my own connectors. Also, no big deal. The sound clarity improved tremendously. Now I just got a new Rockford Fosgate P3SD4-8 Punch and am going to try to hook it up tomorrow. If it works I would have to make my own adapter to mount it. My biggest fear is that the amp will not be able to push it. If not I might have to buy a small amp. The funny part is that even without factory sub it sounds about the same but a little less bass. All distortions are gone and the dull sound is gone too.
i purchased a set of harmin infinity speakers i need connection wire for my 22 rav4 they seem to be unavailable in australia can you help
First check your connection, take a picture from the back and make sure have same. Order maybe on ebay
thanx for your reply . was curious is there c code to order for the connecting wire there is heaps not sure , thanx @@nazarettos6987
In another video, the guy installs a bass blocker in-line at the positive terminal. Is this needed?
Everything works for me
@@nazarettos6987 No crackling or rattling sound? I keep reading the same thing about the base blocker. And the polarity thing. Yes it would work, but people say that it takes away from the overall base of the speakers if the polarity is off. After your entire upgrade processs did you notice a decrease in overall base? Thanks in advanced, you've given me confidence to order!
My understanding is that these small dash speakers can't handle the lower bass signal, hence the in-line capacitor. You might damage that newly installed speaker, especially if you really push the volume, or added an Amp to your system. I'm gonna use the Capacitor, I'm looking to keep the vehicle long-term and want this install to last.
The OEM speakers are 4 ohm, the replacement speakers are 3 ohm, now the system is out of sync, and, let's have an update for 2023 models with the tweeters on the A panel, (windshield upright) and thank you for the quality video.
The sound quality is much better
You should of gotten the JBL system 1100watts
I don’t blast my music loud I just like the quality of the song not loudness
@@nazarettos6987 the JBL head unit does a great job of isolating and separating the sound, sounds great at low volumes
Any idea if the REF-3032CFX will fit? Not sure the difference but is 3.5"
If it is 3 1/2 it should fit,but I would not install any more powerful than these 75W
@@nazarettos6987 75W is peak power. Those are actually 25W RMS. Anyway, even if it was rated 200W, it's the amplifier that provides the power ;-)
Have you ever installed a capacitor onto the tweeters?
No need,sound is amazing
Добрый день! Где можно купить такие динамики ?
I have links under video description. It says speakers and there is link to click.

11:53???
will this work on a rav4 trd 2024?
I have no idea honestly.
@@nazarettos6987yes
Did someone find it in stock in Europe?
I don’t know about Europe, but you can buy them on Amazon
Hey I just installed these and it feels like the bass was lessened 😢
Its better quality
@@nazarettos6987no it feels like the bass is lessened
@@cop2506yeah but it's better quality still 😂
What year is your Rav4? I'm getting confusing information that 2022+ harness needs to be reversed?
Mine is 2019 Rav4
180 watts peak power and 60 watt RMS....you will need amplifier to get full power and clarity...factory radio unit only throws out maybe 25 watts per channel...not sufficient to drive these speaker well enough
You might be right but I don’t blast music in my car that loud
@@nazarettos6987 there is another similar model from infinity instead of IX it says EX....6532EX and that is 165 watts peak and 55 RMS...this lesser powered ones will work better on the factory radio unit
I read that if you have the emergency call system there are 2 speakers in the dash. I think they are one unit. Anyone know about this?
Interesting. When I saw the connector in the video I was wondering why it had what appears to be 4 wires coming in and the speaker also has 4 spades at 5:37.
Very sharp and good question! Anyone know it?
Llevas razón en el salpicadero del lado del acompañante lleva una unidad compuesta de un tweeter y otro altavoz de frecuencias medias con conector separado que ya me da que pensar que pensar que según lo que dices que puede ser para las llamadas de emergencia y que para instalar el nuevo altavoz onfinity Jay que retirarlo , sería bueno saberlo siiii
