Additional Notes
- The 2016 Scion FR-S incorporates a three-way speaker configuration with dedicated frequency ranges across different locations, suggesting the factory system separates high, mid, and low frequencies rather than relying solely on full-range drivers.
- Dashboard tweeters at 1 inch handle upper frequency reproduction, which may benefit most from aftermarket upgrades if the goal is improving clarity in vocals and cymbal definition.
- The 4-inch rear side panel midrange speakers occupy an uncommon size category, potentially limiting aftermarket options compared to more standardized sizes like 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch speakers.
- Front door panel speakers accept both midbass and full-range driver types at 6.5 inches, offering flexibility in system design depending on whether the installer retains the separate tweeters or replaces the entire front stage with coaxial speakers.
- Radio compatibility with both single DIN and double DIN head units provides installation flexibility, though confirming mounting kit requirements would be necessary before selecting a replacement receiver.
- Upgrading the front door speakers would likely produce the most noticeable sound quality improvement given their larger surface area and role in reproducing midrange frequencies where most musical content resides.
- The relatively small 4-inch midrange size in the rear suggests these speakers contribute primarily to fill rather than primary listening, making them a lower priority for replacement in most upgrade scenarios.
- Component speaker systems designed for separate tweeter and midbass installation would align well with the factory mounting locations, preserving the three-way architecture while improving driver quality.
