Over the years (alot of them) I've installed numerous audio upgrades starting with FM converters and 8tracks in the 60's and 70's to headunits with cd's, usb ports and bluetooth capabilities, some with additional amps that higher quality speakers require to drive for optimal performance. What I'm asking is if I can locate and install JBL's would there be any sound quality difference? My intention is to dynomat the doors during the installation process which I'm sure will help the overall tinny sound when closing same. I don't want to change the stock headunit that works ok (except the way toyota has chosen for access to music on a stick) to aftermarket. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I bought Polk Audio 6x9 coax speakers for the front doors and 6.5 coax speakers for the rear doors from Crutchfield, and they were plug and play because of what Crutchfield includes.
I don’t use any of the 5 factory tweeters anymore, and I don’t miss them one bit.
In my opinion, you are much better off with high quality aftermarket speakers than with the “JBL” speakers that come from Toyota.
I have done full systems (head unit, amp(s), speakers and all system wiring) in three or four cars now.
