No dash speakers - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

And that was supposed to be "no surprises"
Yeah, manufacturers quote separate tweeters as individual speakers.

There are 8 in the fr-s. According to what the sticker on the car said.

Also they're Pioneer speakers not Toyota. They're not the best but they get to job done for now til it's time for aftermarket

In Canada the FR-S is advertised as having a 8 speaker stereo system. so I would assume my car has all the speakers in the dash as well as in the doors and the rear.

I also must say that i am pretty impressed with the quality of sound coming from this car.

To be fair, Toyota did make the car pretty cheap for us Aussies..
Is the wiring still there?

Not from what I could see.

That's ok! Just more room to work with!

Since I'll be selling my old 6x9s, I'll have some spare cash for new speakers. Probably leave the rear speakers stock, put new stuff in every hole in the front (<--- That's what she said) and fade to front so that you can barely hear the rears.

Nafe · 08-13-2012, 10:06 PM

Agreed ^^rears aren't important when you arent a rear passenger!! My current car has no rears at all. Fronts and sub is it!!

fuddbutter · 08-13-2012, 10:30 PM

Fronts and sub is all you need.

rip the rears out, saves weight

davey90 · 08-13-2012, 10:32 PM

I'm pretty fresh to car speakers, just making it clear tweeters are high frequency speakers, which acts like a center speaker in a home surround sound system, right?

we only get 2 near the windshield and normal speakers on the doors?

st162celica · 08-13-2012, 10:32 PM

AHHHH guys ... i love having my rears... Surround sound !!!!

dont even think my 12inch box will fit in the boot

Nardi330 · 08-13-2012, 10:44 PM

surround sound only works when you are watching movies. useless for music.....

i agree front splits and sub are all you need. who cares about the rear. and i can't be bothered ripping out the rear trims to take out the pair of tiny OEM paper speakers. it will annoy me more if there is a rattle by pulling trim off then leaving that little bit of extra weight in there.

also is the factory tweeter location any good for SQ?

That's right. Tweeters are high frequency drivers (fancy word for speakers). They are responsible making clicks/air/static type sounds. Not sure about the centre speaker thing though.

Typically, you can get 2 (or more) speaker configuration "types". You can get a 6inch speaker with the tweeter sitting in the middle of the speaker. Or you can get 'Splits' which just means that the tweeter is not attached to the speaker and can be put elsewhere.

Tweeters are small speakers (around an 1") for high range
Mids are the standard speaker size (4-6.5")
And subs are pretty self explanatory.

davey90 · 08-13-2012, 11:05 PM

Cheers guys! :happy0180:

so how many speakers/drivers exist on the car? confused from following the thread.

so from what I have made out is that there are 2 tweeters and standard speakers (splits,right?) on each side?
