Blown rear speakers? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Actually, it's more personal preference. Ever been to a concert? Where is the music? In front of you. So ideally you want the sound in your car also in front of you. That way you get proper imaging (left, center, right) and it's in front of you. So really, it's up to you.

But when doing the rear speakers on the Yaris HB, the speaker adapters that people purchase online are NOT ideal for the rears. The replacement speakers need to be sealed to the plastic panel with foam to get proper sealing to get the lower mid-bass frequencies.

I just cut out the old driver and used the housing to mount the new one...I did that on all four of them.

That works, but if you put foam around the speaker (like the factory speaker) then you'll get better low frequency response.
