No dash speakers
 
So I was just checking up on the speaker locations to look into replacing them, and when I popped off the front grill, there was only a tweeter, and a big 'ol hole where the 3.5 normally goes.

This most likely means the tweeters are running as splits from the 6.5's in the doors, and explains the terrible sound quality and lack of amp in the Aus car.

yeah i think US cars can upgrade to have speakers there.

i also think JDM cars are the same as ours with only a tweeter on the dash.

Can you take a pic of the hole?

and i used to run just a 6.5in mid in the door and tweeters.. well, on the floor..
It won me about 30 trophies..

More crap $2 toyota speakers is not going to make it sound any better.. just more average sound haha

You can have mine if you want as I don't want a sound system. You will have to wait a while though.

Use a flat head to pry it up. It's just cliped in. The dash pad is soft enough to get a screw driver under it without leaving a mark.

Noticed the same here - only tweeters in the dash in the GTS

Should be nice surprises, it was only ever said that it had 6 speakers.
That would be 2x door, 2x tweeters and 2x rear.

Wasn't sure if Toyota counted tweeters. Now that I think about it, of course they do. It's a simple way to get the number higher.
