Additional Notes

  • The 2009 Scion tC includes a dedicated tweeter position in the front door panel, which suggests a component speaker upgrade may provide enhanced high-frequency detail compared to basic full-range replacements.
  • Both front and rear locations accommodate 6.5 inch speakers, indicating uniform sizing throughout the cabin that could simplify simultaneous replacement of multiple positions.
  • The presence of separate tweeter and midbass mounting points in the front doors indicates the factory audio configuration may have used a component-style setup rather than coaxial speakers in these locations.
  • Upgraders selecting component speakers could utilize the existing 1 inch tweeter location while installing midbass drivers in the 6.5 inch positions, potentially maintaining the factory mounting architecture.
  • The rear side panel 6.5 inch positions accept either midbass or full-range speakers, offering flexibility in system design depending on whether amplification and front-rear balance preferences favor dedicated midbass or broader frequency coverage.
  • Single DIN and Double DIN radio compatibility provides options for head unit replacement, though Double DIN installation may require additional trim components or modification depending on factory configuration.
  • The midbass designation for the 6.5 inch positions suggests these drivers may benefit from enclosures or door dampening to optimize lower frequency output, particularly if paired with separate tweeters.
  • Replacing front door speakers first may offer more noticeable sonic improvement than rear positions, given that most listening occurs in forward seating areas and the presence of dedicated tweeter locations in these positions.
