    Does it have rear speakers somewhere? I have looked around and don't see any. Two are in the front doors. I know this sounds simple for some folks but I am a one legged fella and can't crawl around and look like I use to. I looked on google to see if I could find something on this but no luck.

    New to this too but my understanding is they are obvious if you have them. This panel is either a speaker or solid without a speaker.

    Ah. Awesome. I'll have to look again then. Thanks a ton for responding. Even if I don't I wonder if the wiring would be there to install some.

    There’s a speaker somewhere in the headliner? What size, 4”? This must have been an option as if I turn my balance to the rear speakers there is no sound so assume I only have fronts.

    Hmm. Your post tells me the wiring might be there. Maybe just speakers, hardware and covers may be what I need if there aren't any

    Does the 14 have the smaller speakers/tweeters in the front doors just ahead of the door latch
    like my 09 AC does?
    Also i do not have speakers in the rear access doors, anybody know how to remove
    the panel back there to check if wiring exists?

    Good luck OP.

    btw, answered my own question, those panels do not come off. at least in my 09...i guess whoever did that one above did a custom cutout
    or that one is factory?

    Looks pretty clean, I wonder if you find an older donor vehicle if it will swap out 1 for 1? Did you find wires inside your door?

    The rear panel is all one piece. The picture with the back piece is custom.

    Early ‘05-‘08 (I believe) trucks had panels wit speaker grills. I imagine you could swap them in place of the newer style.


    There was no wiring in the rear door panel of my ‘11 for speakers. I had to run it from where the headliner speakers are down to the back doors.

    Me too, no speakers in the access doors and looks like you would have to replace the entire door panel with a panel that is made to have the speakers behind it.
    I think I do have speakers up in the headliner though and they must be really small. I cut the volume all the way to the rear and I could hear the music coming from somewhere in the back but the volume is really low even when turned all the way up.
    Oh, and yes I do have the smaller speakers up on the front doors along with bigger ones down lower on the front doors.

    The headliner speakers are tiny. Roughly 1” or in diameter. The door tweeters are larger

    I happened to check this today. Mine has the speakers (transducers?) in the headliner right at the B pillar above my head. They are very low volume compared to the fronts and act only in an ambient capacity.

    Might look into ungrading to some after markets in the doors. Pioneers, Sony's or the like.

    Picture Sony Walkman head phones. Now picture the speakers in them.
