Just a quick video showing how I replaced the rear Subwoofer in my daughter's 2004 Toyota Avalon. This would be the same for years 2000-2004. The stock JBL speaker was making a very annoying rattling noise. The foam was completely torn and crumbling away from the speaker cone.
I have used the foam speaker repair kit on a different vehicle in the past, and it worked great, but this speaker was a little cheaper, so I thought it was worth a try.
I am happy with how it turned out. It sounds good, and no more rattling or bad noises.
It's a little tricky getting the speaker mounting frame out from under the rear deck lid cover, but just be patient and try several different angles until it comes out.
I have heard that you can remove the rear seat to take out the deck lid, but I thought that would be too much work so I did it this way.
You will just need a screwdriver and/or drill and some small screws (I used small self-tapping screws), and a 10mm socket wrench to remove the plastic speaker frame or housing.
I did not solder the wires to the new speaker. You may want to solder it, or you may do like I did in the video and use some wire clips to connect it to the factory wiring harness.
Thanks for watching!
