https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvkEY6FZ6Gs Tacomaholic has posted excellent videos on upgrades: first link is for the Subaru branded Kicker tweeters upgrade, followed by the 6X9 door speakers upgrade, both no-splice upgrades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHJ95TTmFk8
My plan is to install HushMat insulation soundproofing material in the doors first, then Kickers speakers in the doors and a new double DIN CD/Bluetooth radio. There's always a future project.

 

You can buy or make adapters that will accept any of these common tweeters. Amazon, Crutchfied, etc. Just need to know the diameter. Many of them work for multiple sizes. Here is one for a 1 3/4" tweeter I just made and used on a recent install. If your tweeters are 1.75" PM me and I can make and send you a pair.

I like those! Can you print the tweeter adapters in other Toyota colors? Price?
Like the OP, I have the non-JBL system in the 2009 ACLB so... I've been looking and have seen the Kicker tweeters in TW from $88 and at Subaru dealer sites $95-115. Best Buy had the Kicker 6x9-3 way speaker kit on sale for $103.95 recently, regular $129.95. Aspen Sound also carries Kenwood and Harman Kardon speakers
Thank you for posting.

Please…if you buy a 2 or 3-way speaker, do NOT buy the Kicker “upgrade” tweeters too. Other than being a waste of money that can be put towards a decent component set, you would have 4 tweeters up front, for a face-peeling, “screaming” good time.

 

I put in Alpine Tweeters from Critchfield, and Alpine drivers. They sent adaptors. Plug and play.

 

When I replaced my speakers with a Polk component set, I just recycled the old bracket by punching out the old tweeter. The new one fit right in.

 

howdy the set of speakerrs bought nvx"s and teewters nvx nsp35 they are .3/4 to tall. But clucthflield to the rescue rockford fosgate t2t-s fits like glove on the mounting bracket.So i need instructions in how remove the molding on the b-pillar. Perfect place to mount the nsp35 at ear level that"s the plan

 

I did the subaru tweeter and the passenger side was super easy. The drivers side has zero sound now in either my tweeter or the 6x9 in the door. I even switched tweeters to make sure the speaker was good. I followed the video exactly. Now I'm at a loss of what to do.

 

Just my thoughts (which are usually incomplete) but I would try to mount the tweeters on the a-pillar (windshield pillar). I can’t picture having tweeters blast right in my ears by the b-pillar, plus up front will set up more of a sound stage. Just a thought
