Additional Notes

  • The 2016 Scion tC utilizes a component-style speaker arrangement in the front doors, with dedicated 1-inch tweeters handling high frequencies separately from the 6.5-inch midbass or full-range drivers.
  • Both front and rear locations accommodate 6.5-inch speakers, suggesting that aftermarket component or coaxial speakers of this size could potentially replace factory units across all positions.
  • The front door tweeters may be independently replaceable, which could allow for upgrades to silk dome or aluminum designs without necessarily replacing the main door speakers.
  • Rear side panel speakers typically receive less power and attention in factory configurations, meaning that upgrading front speakers first would likely yield more noticeable improvements in overall sound quality.
  • The full-range compatibility designation suggests that the 6.5-inch positions could potentially accept either dedicated midbass drivers in a component system or standalone coaxial speakers depending on the desired setup.
  • The single DIN radio opening provides standard-sized aftermarket head unit compatibility, which could facilitate improved amplification for upgraded speakers across all locations.
  • Component speaker systems might offer better staging and imaging compared to coaxial replacements, particularly given the separate tweeter locations already present in the front doors.
