Nissan Qashqai J11 Speaker Change / Upgrade Tutorial (Inc doorcard removal guide)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Here’s a great upgrade to your Qashqai that doesn’t cost a lot, but improves the audio a great deal!
I chose only to upgrade the front speakers, but you can do the rears too (apparently they are the same size).
The speakers i used are the Pioneer TS-G1710F available here - amzn.to/2Tv9Krx
(Affiliate link)
But you can use any 17cm speaker to suit your budget - you can spend hundreds if you wish!
Speaker adapter rings + Wires - amzn.to/34PLzGu
You’ll need these for whatever speakers you buy.

    A missive Thank you for these Videos. I’ve just done my speakers in my car. Always wondered how easy it would be but put it off until I found your video. My drivers side speaker blew, no sound for 2 weeks and went and did the change last week. Hard to get the doors off but then easy once you do one. Used the same speakers as they had great reviews, definitely better than factory fitted ones and got the speaker supports. The speakers are a massive improvement on previous speakers. Again, thanks for all your vids. Changed interior lights. And now have the bulbs for the external lights. Not looking forward to that though.

    Thanks for the video. Just did mine as per your vid. Contrary to the previous comment the speakers are a decent improvment over stock in terms of sound quality and physical quality. Better magnets and speaker cone materials. I expect they will last far longer than the cheap paper cone ones they have replaced, Thanks

    Another helpful video Dan! Regarding the stereo cutting out issue (Nissan update), my car cuts out a lot and I thought it was loosing the DAB signal until I saw your video about the update. I really don't want to go through the dealer and I know its a bit of long winded process but do you have any links or files to do the update yourself?

    It's really simple if you call Nissan UK, they'll sort you out. I wouldn't recommend doing the update yourself when it's free of charge. If it goes wrong it can brick (kill) the stereo.

    I'm planning the speakers' upgrade and since already removing the door cart, I'd like to improve sound insulation. I can see lots of uncovered areas (plain paint, no insulation) in your video. I've found 2 types of absorbers: 1.6-2.6mm butyl mat for rattling reduction and 8-10mm foam mat to absorb some sounds oise. Is there a potential to stick some sound absorbers on those uncovered areas? I mean wouldn't it prevent cart from clipping back in?

    Most likely the wiring for the Bose system is not there. I'd look at aftermarket options as they'd be cheaper and may even be better sounding.

    Seems to be a relatively common issue. Try locking it with the interior sensors off by pressing the button by the rear view mirror. (It should beep when it locks) If it still sounds then it is probably related to the external or rocker sensors.

    Hi Dan, Did the speaker upgrade meet your expectations? I’ve replaced all 4 door speakers but feel left a bit disappointed. Sure, there is more clarity and less distortion under high volume scenarios, however the bass is still lackinga and about on par compared to factory shitty speakers. I think the head unit is just not capable of utilizing the full speaker potential now. Also, since we had to remove the door cards, guess if there are no creaks in there? Wrong, there are! So although it does sound marginally better, in my case the better option would have been to install a under seat subwoofer… Whats your take?
