I want to replace speakers in my 2007 Lariat Screw. I bought 2 pairs of Pioneer TS-A6886R 6x8's. Do I need to remove entire door panel or just grills?
It seems pretty straight forward for wiring. Anything I should know?

edit: okay I didn't realize it, but looking under the drivers side backseat there appears to be a subwoofer. Should I leave it, disconnect it?

I had a 98 Lexus GS 400 and I upgraded the stereo with an amp and all the door speakers and disconnected the subwoofer and actually liked how it sounded. I guess the upgraded speakers were so much better that the subwoofer wasn't needed.

 

I've read that some people are replacing their door speakers like I want to do and reporting much better sound. My question is now that I realize I have the audiophile system, it is still worth swapping these speakers and will it be better sound?
Should I try to bypass the factory tweeters and subwoofer and run everything into these newer supposedly better 4 way speakers in the door?
Is this hard to do?

 

It all depends on how you like your music. Most that I've worked with enjoyed the clearer highs brought by higher end speakers. The facctory audiophile systems are set up for bass. If you do have separate tweeters, I'd return those speakers and buy components (which normally have a much better sound because of their crossovers) and mount the new tweeters in the factory location.
