Definitive answer? JBL-equipped dash speaker drop-in replacements...

[Nobody Special]

Yeah those prices are ridiculous. Maybe I’ll just try the Subaru’s from Amazon. How bad could they be really, compared to the blown set I have now...

What’s the worst that can happen- I have to tune the treble all the way up?

What region of NY are you in?
Doesn't have to be exact town.

Long Island, though I'm in West Hartford at the moment and I can go anywhere...

Why?

Junk Yaaaahdz. (Oh, wait, that is Bhaaastin)

I was going to say there are yards on the North shore of Staten Island and a few in Newark, NJ.
I *HAVE* to remember to go to one EARLY tomorrow to grab some OEM wire for a rat/mouse test I want to run with the SOY wire.

I can ask about tweeters for ya from a later model if you wanted.

:wave::hatsoff:

I am NOT going onto Long Island though:gun5: .
I mean, traffic may not be bad with the Covid stuff, But we could meet in the shitty if you would like... IF I can get 'em.

I don't know how you guys deal with that.
:noidea:
But, once this BS lifts, all the CITYFOLK that fled to NJ will be clogging up our roads.

Summer it’s even worse for sure. That’s why I lived somewhere that I was already at the beach

You’re in North Jersey? Easy enough to swing by

Oh, So you wanna take away my reason to possibly go into the city and get some KATZ sammitches piled high?:hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry:
I see how it is :madgrin::happy:


I like to be away from the ever-maddening crowds.
Beach life was nice, but then they swarm in the Summer. :doh:

Katz? Are they still around?

I’d rather go to Harold’s in Lyndhurst

Yezzur. Tourist Trap / Carnegie Deli closed up.
You can still get it in Madison Square Garden though.

Harold's is just "awe" factor for the size.
It isn't all that tasty to me.

Well, that was a waste.

Six scrap yards and no help on the wires I need, or for tweeters.

One yard did say it isn't worth their time for the speakers in most cars as they cannot guarantee they are not blown.
Makes sense I guess.

But Honestly thank you so much for trying!!!

Update- I spoke with OEM and theirs doesn’t work with the JBL system

Best price I’ve seen for the original Toyota replacements would be $130 plus shipping for the pair...

Anyone know of a cheaper place or have any other suggestions?

Thanks everyone!

Looking at the pics in this thread The new speakers are in
and looking at the model number on the tweeter led me to this
$27 2015 TOYOTA PRIUS TWEETER DASH SPEAKER 86160-47070 OEM 10 11 12 13 14 15 | eBay
$75 from Toyota 2010-2020 Toyota Inst Panel Speaker 86160-47070 | Toyota Parts

Not sure it will just drop in though.
Might need to swap brackets.

Same part# 86160-47070 listed for 4Runner.

I'm with you. I have a 2020 TRD Pro with the JBL and I HATE it. I had a 2016 Avalon with the JBL system in that and it ROCKED. It was one of the best stereos I'd ever had, much less a factory unit. The JBL in the new Pro's is very Flat, almost zero bass, just sounds like a cheap radio to me. If the JBL in the Avalon was a 10, this is a 4 tops. You have to crank it way up before you'll notice any sound coming from the rear at all. It sounds like JUST the dash speakers are driving at you and they sound like cheap paper speakers.

My best friend has been a car stereo dealer for more than 30 years, I've got him looking for solutions and he hasn't come up with anything that will actually work with the JBL system because of the ohm ratings, etc. There doesn't seem to be a good way to take the signal from the JBL head unit, run it through an amp and drive some decent real speakers... I don't want to replace the entire head unit and spend $3500 on it either.

He told me if I take those crappy paper speakers out and put in something decent, it will be a 4 ohm speaker and at full volume, you'd only get about what you previously got at 1/2 volume... So for now, I just ignore it. Bigger fish to fry and all that...

Good luck. If you find a solution, I'd like to know what it is too!

The one suggestion he had was to get a bunch of sound deadening material and put it in the doors and rear hatch door. He figured cutting road noise might make the JBL sound better.

This may be good news for you my friend- and to anyone else with a 2017-2020 with the JBL system and less than 36,000 miles...

Thank you. Oddly enough, I was at the Toyota Dealer for my first oil change as you posted this. So I took a gamble and pulled up the TSB and showed it to the service writer. He of course had no clue about it and dismissed it saying something like "Oh we don't keep up with TSB's like that. If you have something you want us to look at you'll have to make a separate appointment and let us have it for the day". Trust me, I knew right there, he was in NO WAY going to ever help me with an issue like this. After reading the TSB, the first thing is "Confirm Problem Exists" (paraphrasing)... Sound quality is subjective to the max so I don't see myself leaving it there all day for them to say "We don't hear anything wrong with it"...

Either way, Thanks for the info!
