Here is the vid of the OG, and even cheaper speaker upgrade I did on the blue c1 a while ago with no loom adapters.

I recently got a Peugeot 107 and I love your videos.
The little jokes and humour really makes it.
This is also an underrated channel!
Keep it up!
Thanks mate, that’s really good to hear. Feel free to share my vids about if you’ve any like minded mates who might enjoy the channel too! 🤷♀️
I have a c1 and been wanting new speakers and came across your channel. Its absolutely class, little jokes here and there. Love it 🤣
Cheers mate 🤣
JVC CS-J420X eBay - £17.99 - I fitted them to my 107 last year - 30% volume boost, 50% better clarity. Best upgrade I ever game my wee car. Finally, radio > engine 👍
That’s the issue with the standard speakers, along with the fact they sound shit but engine > radio lol
Your channel is growing nicely nearly 2500 subscribers Tim keep the videos coming and all the best too you and your family for 2022
Thanks Martin, it’s getting there slowly. Same to you and yours pal.
Looks like an easy enough install, something I could definitely do.
Another great vid.
All the very best for the New Year.
Yea deffo mate. With the loom adapters it’s even easier job than the ones I put in the blue c1 ages ago and thanks pal, you too.
@@Cheeseberry69 yea nice easy job, and the oem speakers are proper shit so nice upgrade
Love this guy he’s just straight to the point and he’s honest 😂
Cheers mate 🤣
Tim keep them coming mate I love how you keep it real and take the piss a bit love your content mate 👍
Cheers mate
What a great video! 😍 Thank you so much! Definitely gonna subscribe and watch more!
Cheers mate
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos how would you go about changing door speakers? If you know what i mean :)
@@highlandmediaalba699 if you already have them, then it should be pretty much the same principal really.
I immediately went to the City bug store and brought this kit and a reverse light switch for my wife's car. Nice
They’re such an upgrade compare to the standard speakers.
Can't wait to fit them
@@Dark-Lord3386 have you seen my other videos? I fitted a new head unit, some rear speakers and a sub in the blue C1 for a bit more cabbage. These are a good/nice and easy cheap upgrade over the original speakers if you don’t plan to go that far though.
Stay away from city bug store. Read the reviews. I was lucky enough to get my money back
@@nbqlkov I’ve heard mixed reviews, but can only go off my own experience. I’ve never had an issue with them personally though and the stuff they sell does tend to be tried and tested.
Cracking video definitely a sound improvement 👍
Thanks mate, and yea definitely
Its gonna be great ... It was great ,,,
I did mine ages ago and the fronts make a huge difference .. throw in two old hi fi speakers in the boot , and you wont need anything else.
Old school 👍
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Happy new Christmas
My Wagon R has these mini tweeters on the dash and also I've fitted them in the rear roof as they were just 2 holes a speaker grill and wiring put in at the factory, I put FLI speakers in the quality is just to say better than stock, I have found if you cut a car cleaning sponge up and place it below the speaker you get a bit better sound quality, it might be worth an experiment. I wasn't expecting dolby surround sound but it's ok. Happy new year mate all the best 👍
Nice idea. I’ve heard of the sponge trick but never bothered to try it. I think I might give it a go. Happy new year back at you mate.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos my Wagon R isn't any more substantial than a heinz bean tin for metal work, it just takes the vibration out of the body when the volume is raised with only a small bit of bass applied on the head unit
@@joebloggs3629 so the same as a C1 then? Lol
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I've never had the pleasure of driving or a journey in a C1, but the Suzuki was never crash tested by Euro Ncap so I dread to think the mess it would end up in in a bump, the 1.3 vvt engine is absolutely mint it's never let me down in 7 years of ownership it's a majorly underrated car if you get beyond how it looks and you can fit a full sized pallet in the back with the seats down, it's like a small van 👍
@@joebloggs3629 I quite like the look of them tbh. The Suzuki I want is a Jimny but they all seem way expensive! Even a shitter
The Pioneer set that you installed in the blue C1 is okay but not as a front one. I have upgraded the dash speakers to the Pioneer 3 way set - which is technically the same shit as your JCV but with a different sticker.
I've done the shelf with two 5.25" 2 way speakers and an underseat sub from the same family. The sound quality is significantly better than with the stock speakers.
All in all I love your content so keep it coming!
Nice one mate. I put 5.25” Edge ones in the rear of the blue C1. It’s all mix and match of whatever I could get cheap, but it works ok!
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yeah I have seen your setup and apart from the Monster sub I liked it. I need the boot space hence I opted for the underseat sub, plus I wanted to keep the windows in place.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos on that note, do you think I can wire 6 speakers and a sub to the factory head unit? Or will it just fry everything?
@@Gourmondise it’s not bad for a budget setup but I’m debating putting a better one in and amping everything like I have in my younger days lol. I used to have a V70 T5 with 4 12” subs and 6 speakers including a pair of boxed vibe squares 6x9 on the rear shelf, but I had a powerful head unit and the 6x9 were amped. I think on the bugs, the factory head unit is just as much of a weakness as the oem speakers tbh. When adding more speakers you can wire them series or parallel. Parallel is louder but lower resistance, so more likely to overload the amp. The aftermarket speakers are already lower resistance than the oem ones but unlikely to cause issues alone. If anything it’s likely to blow a fuse or trip out before it blows anything up, but to be on the safe side and for better sound you’d be better with a little amp tbh. Sorry for long winded response, just read it back and I don’t half waffle some shit sometimes 🤷♀️
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos as always your help is much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome
Great job dude.
My Aygo has the little tweeter on the windscreen pillars.
You think they would need replacing ?
Those are the better factory speakers. The tweeter is in the dash and the midrange/woofer is in the door. I’ve never heard them in person to compare though.
Nice work, but I’m still going to push my whiny opinion that the little speaker upgrade, plus 6x9s on the parcel shelf, plus a sub/amp under the wife-seat makes 100x difference whilst costing not much over £150 all-in.
I appreciate that’s not within everyone’s budget, but it’s certainly worth considering if one’s budget permits 😊
Nice nails, btw.
Oh yea of course mate, you’ve seen the Audio vids I’ve done on the blue C1 haven’t you? All the stuff I’ve used in that shitbox was cheap lol. Upgrading these speakers is the minimum upgrade required to make the stereo even listenable tbh lol.
im going buy some of the speakers as ive got to turn up the radio to 25 to hear any music out of the ones ive got in the carplus ive bought a new flip radio for it as well
The standard dash speakers are terrible
Hey mate thanks for the vid ! Got any links for the speakers and adapters ? Description one doesnt work for me
Ah maybe they’ve sold out. If you search eBay for the speakers, and just Aygo/C1/107 speaker adapters they should come up on there though.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos ok thanks ill try this 🙂
Can you recommend for the door speakers too? ta. love your vids
I’ve not got front door speakers, but I could deffo recommend adding more to the rear!
Thanks to your great videos now I have 3 pair of speakers in my Pug. Two 4" on the dash, two 5.25" in the front doors and two 6.5" on the parcel shelf. (And the underseat sub)
And everything works just fine, and if something I can get away with lower volumes due to the closer proximity of the door speakers! Here is a theoretical question - If I was bored and want to fit another pair of 5.25" in the rear doors will that work in your opinion?
And as always your videos and knowledgeable answers are highly appreciated!
Cheers mate. You could make it work, but there’s a couple of things to take into consideration. Firstly how you’re gonna power them. Sometime you can just wire extra speakers in the same outputs as the others, but it alters the resistance. If you wire 2 speakers of the same resistance in series, you add them together so it doubles it. The same 2 in parallel it halves it. Best idea is to a mom them but it’s a bit more dicking about. Also, when adding more and more speakers you’ve got more chance of wiring them out of phase, which can actually reduce the bass so that’s something to keep in mind.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos thanks for the reply. I did tested the system for phase and everything checks out. I also meticulously followed the same wires and tapped into the right ones so all good.
I may just buy another pair of 5.25"s and see how it goes. Worst case scenario I buy a cheap 50 quid 4 channel amp and re-wire the whole thing.
Also, also - do we or will we have a page/site/insta forum something to share and discuss these? I think you have enough subs to form a small community, least this is how I feel!
@@Gourmondise let me know how it goes. I’ve got an Insta page and a Facebook page, but neither of them are particularly good 😂
i'd suggest a door speakers retrofit(at least the front ones). Makes a huge difference and it doesn't take a lot of time. I've done it one mine when I had the dash out for some other issues and used all 100% genuine parts from a donor one
Yea the door speakers are much better than the dash ones.
I fitted some rear speakers in mine which made a decent difference though

Another classic 👍👍
Cheers. Have you seen the original dash speaker upgrade video I did on the blue C1?
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yep, doing mine soon 👍
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos forgot to say that the black C1 looked remarkably tidy for a change.........🤣🤣
@@flapsfalkland5181 makes a change haha. Have you heard about this clean air charge for vans in Manchester? It stretches all the way to you! Proper piss take
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yeah! We also have Betty, our Transit Conversion and will get battered everytime we get on and off M61 at Westhoughton and then wherever else we travel 😭😭 might just look at converting my Shitter further 🤣🤣
Thanks again for such perfection. Just picked some up off Amazon for 15 quid. Just need to find that 10mm now! PS Where can you get those ones that tickle your bollox. Asking for a friend. Thanks
The tickler specific ones are Amazon only I believe.
You can increase the sound "quality" a bit on the original speakers by setting the bass to +5 and treble to +3
You can, I show that in another vid too
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Ah alright. Just stumbled upon this video since I was looking to upgrade my own speakers :D It's nice to see how tings are taken apart. Great video.
@@BeckOfficial cheers mate. There’s loads of other dumb vids on the channel too, feel free to check them out lol
I found bas 3 treble 5. Also setting the fader to f7 helps

Can you just get any adaptor cable or does it need to be specific for the Citroen and speakers?
I just got the kit for the car, on the older vid I did I just joined the wires though which will also work
Hello,
I enjoy watching your videos so keep up the good work!
I purchased the same JVC speakers as your ones for my Peugeot 107 and an adapter from ebay but for some reason these JVC speakers sound worse than the OEM ones currently installed!!!
I changed the left speaker first and tested it against the OEM using the stereo balance as per your instruction, the right OEM one sounded much better than the left JVC one I installed. The JVC one appeared to have less sound and much less bass.
I used an adapter so the wiring should be correct.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
That’s a strange one mate, they sound a lot better than the oem in mine. Maybe they’re faulty? 🤔
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Yes that's what crossed my mind as well......i'll probably return them then! thanks.
Hi! Can you use the adapter for the Jbl stage 3 as well?
Should he able to I’d have thought 🤔
My aygo has tweeters in the dash, is it the same process to change them to woofers or is there an addition step needed to do?
No it quite. To be honest if you have the tweeters in the dash you might be better off just leaving it alone
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos oh thanks
I recently installed similar pioneer speakers into my wee Toyota Aygo. Followed all the instruction with the wiring and it worked fine when I put them in but then after a couple of hours I came back, tried starting the car and the battery was dead! Thinking could it be a shitty battery or maybe issue with the speaker or something else?
Nah won’t be the speakers. It’s most likely that you left it turned on and was messing about without the engine running as you were installing/testing them
I've just done this, but honestly the difference is barely noticeable.
I think what this car really needs is a sub.
The speakers are only a better quality version of the same size so they’re never gonna make much bass. I have a sub in the other one, and rear speakers too
czcams.com/video/dBVvtnb44FY/video.html
Love the video but i've managed to strip the screw hole near the windscreen, the screw will turn but not tighten. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks mate. Put a fatter thread screw in, or stick a bit of cable tie in the hole to pack it out like a wall plug if you know what I mean, that should work too.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos thanks mate the cable tie method did the job
I think the link aint working for the adapters anymore for the dash speakers. Is there any new link ?
It is an old link. Just search on eBay for Aygo speaker wiring adapters and it should come up
Im buying these today. If my windshield won't bounce off its seal, I'll come and give a knock on your door
Be careful not to turn them up too loud or they might blow the screen straight out.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Yeah, job done. I've put some MTX TR40C, 10 cm on my Shitroen. Improvement? About 20%, with not much bass added. Plus I smashed one of the car's speaker grills. I'm pleased :))
Ur great
@@BruKfu not sure what at, but thanks mate 🤣
My speakers hit the little white plastic screw thingy. Any way around this?
Sounds like they may be too big?
are those speakers any good? they seem to be bargain basement price.
They’re good bang for buck and a lot better than the factory shitters, but there are higher end ones available. To make the most of them you’d really have to change the head unit too though.
It kills when you hit your thumb nail with the lump hammer
It’s nail varnish,.. but that is the look I was going for.
I have press the link to buy the speakers but the link doesn’t work and I don’t know what size to buy for the Toyota aygo. Please if you can help me I will appreciate this.
Thanks
Mihail
Hi, they are 4” speakers. The ones I fitted were JVC CSJ420X. If you type CSJ420X in eBay loads should come up. Make sure your car has dash speakers, and not tweeters in the dash and the main speakers in the doors before buying them though!
Have you got a link for the adapters
No sorry mate I don’t think the ones I got are available from the same place, but there are some on eBay. If you search for Aygo/C1/107 speaker wiring adapters then they should come up in the search.
I've taken my dash speakers out and mine have 4 wires going to 1 speaker
Does it have tweeters in the dash and door speakers instead?
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yes it has front door speakers
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I’ve just ordered pioneer speakers for my front dash and came across this comment. My c1 has door speakers so will this mean I will have the same issue with 4 wires going to 1 speaker? If so I noticed you linked in the description adapters for door speakers so will I have to get them if that is the case of having 4 wires going to 1 speaker?
sadly i have crossed over to the dark side and got shot of my aygo, got another shtbox called a twingo ...better bootspace that's about it.
All about that rear engine rwd racecarness?
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos nahh it's got a fart and a half of hp under the bonnet feeding the front trolley wheels.
@@TB-mizzog oh, I thought the twingo had the engine in the back.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos maybe an older one did frick knows tbh
that link dont work pal
Maybe they’ve sold out and removed them from sale? They can be found on eBay too if you search the model number and just search Peugeot 107 speakers adapters too iirc
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I've just found some on ebay and the connectors yago just the same as 107 so should be good to go thanks
@@jeffwass8268 should do the job. Make sure you’ve got there dash speakers and not the tweeters or else you’ll have to wire them differently to get them to work
