You can't just buy replacement speakers to fit. You have to get baffles from tacotunes.com or make or buy baffles made from MDF.
Take a look at tacotunes.com and you'll see what I mean. There are several threads on this subject as well.

Well that is mostly true. I didn't buy anything though. I just gutted my stock speakers and used the shells to mount the new speaker. Free, easy, and works. Not an audiophile's setup, but works.

LOL!
I did the exact same thing, before tacotunes was an option. I used zip ties to mount my Alpines to the shells, worked great and no problems in almost a year.

LOL zip ties! That's great. I don't even remember how I attached mine...they say memory is the first to go.

You can get the adapters on ebay, like $5 bucks!

They are not the right ones . . . look at the feedback a few guys said they don't work on tacomas . .

Also, they $10 jobbers on ebay would not be thick enough for the speakers - - -they would hit the glass wehn you roll down your windows.

[TacomaOffRoadGrl]

That sucks. Makes my more glad I just gutted my stockers!

hehe what did gutting them involve? Gently shaking them till the cone fell out. Seriously I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw those pathetic things.

LOL yea the stock magnets are pathetic. You have to cut them out and probably trim out some of the plastic out the back.

[Angus_NB]

Zip ties...., gutted stock speakers..., you're animals, all of you

You could have gotten at least $1.00 for those stock speakers on ebay. What a waste.

I used Tacotunes mounts for the 6x9 and 6.5, install was a breeze...literally. I mounted them in 20 degrees...without the wind chill factored in.

My Alpine SPR's sound great on the factory amp, but I totally am up for a 4 channel alpine amp now. Robsatx? Wanna sell me more stuff? answer my question about the size of the speakers above the 6x9's in the front door. When I get my Eclipse setup, I'm pump it all with the alpine amp and maybe...a subwoofer kit.

Hey, it's all good.

That is tooooo dammmmmmm funny.
Mine sound great, but I also do have an old-school Kove-Audio 10" DVC with 600Wt Planet Audio bumping in the back .... Maybe it covers up the distortion ...


LOL, I'm just kidding. My XRunner sounds great. - I dont understand the problem .... Maybe my XR has an ''upgraded package'' (yeah, right)

Still funny, though.
