    I recommend taking out the pillar trims, its not hard to do at all and you will have much more room to take out the speaker cover and speakers.

    I didn't pull the pillar trim and it was tight on the pass. side. It is possible though. I didn't want to remove the trim without disconnecting the battery which would reset the computer.

    Can't beat the $20.55 that I paid on Amazon with rewards points. :D

    It was a great upgrade though and revealed a problem. I cured the passenger side dash squeak last year with some loop velcro and was wondering why it came back a bit this winter. Well, the velcro got squeezed off the side of the grille. I have going to have to hit that again this fall.

    I installed the tweeters about a month ago and the difference was noticeable. Yesterday, I replaced the front and rear speakers and WOW, what a great upgrade for little over $200.

    http://www.car-speaker-adapters.com/ or ********* tweeter adapters. I dont know the cutout size though on the XS28. You could always have it cutout for 1" and then dremel the hole out to fit it. Other than that, hot glue and a wire harness from ********* if you'd like to avoid cutting yours up.

    Fwiw I have the JBL head unit and did the Subaru tweeter upgrade. Speakers still fit great and sound better than stock..

    I just had to cut off the harnesses and make my own.

    To me that is a till more convenient than dealing with components or custom speaker brackets.

    Just did the tweeter upgrade myself...mind NOT blown...better, but not TONS better IMO. I am actually pretty impressed by the stock sound in the 2019 Tacoma.

    This link seems to (probably intentionally) ambiguously suggest this is a set of 2 speakers... Is it $80 for 1 speaker, or for a set of 2? Nowhere does it say quantity, but refers to them as a "kit" and "speakers".

    The OEM part number refers to a pair. Or at least it did for mine
