Thanks for sharing! I added a Kicker Hideaway Sub and that tremendously helped the weak OEM audio and these look to improve it as well

Throw a set of 3.5" 2 way speakers in the dash, huge upgrade over having just a tweeter.

How does this mod change the sound?

Installing a 3.5" 2 way speaker in place of the tweeter fills in the frequency gap between the 6x9 in the door and the tweeter in the dash. More full and clean sound.
I pulled the trigger on these after comparing some specs and photos from Tacoma forum. These are a direct fit,plug and play. No cutting,wiring or modifying mounting points. Took less than 10 minutes to install. These really changed the sound quality. It is actually impressive how much base the 6x9 put out considering their poor quality.

Ask away if you have any more questions.

Also, replacing the stock 3.5 inch full-range dash speakers, crappy as they are, with 1 inch or smaller tweeters will cause much of the mid-range sound to be lost, like vocals, guitar solos, etc.

The little 2.5" stock tweeter does very little for mids. There is a huge gap in frequency response between the door and dash from the factory. The stock 6x9 in the front door is decent, replacing the stock tweeter with a 2 way 3.5" speaker is a huge improvement.

So whar speakers would you recommend, and are they plug n play?

These are in no way going to compete with swapping all the door speakers, adding and amp and subwoofer like OEM Audio plus, but for $95 and 10 minutes of time without splicing or modifications what I’ve read is that it does make a pretty big difference in clarity. I had OEM Audio plus in my previous 4runner and just ordered these kicker tweeters today with same day shipping so will see if this enough to satisfy my needs vs dropping $1800 for OEM Audio plus again.

Anything is better than the stock tweeters honestly. You will have to modify the stock tweeter grill no matter what set you go with. There is a cone under the grill that has to be removed, not a big deal and never seen. I went with the JBL GTO series which sound great. There is a tall plastic ring around the frame of these that has to be shaved down for clearance which I was unaware of until I went to install them. Infinity Reference is a great option also and has no plastic ring to mess with. Just an FYI, JBL, Infinity, Altec Lansing, Harman Kardon, all the same company.
