Celica GT stock radio / speakers specs

[mikepl333]

Hello all,
To my amazement, toyota can not give me the specs for the radio or factory speakers. I know they are 6 1/2" but not sure on the orginal specs or output of the radio. I own a 2003 toyota celica GT and love it! I blew the back speaker and want to replace it but want to know what the orginal speakers are. I appreciate all help!

6.5 inch all around. However, you would want to make sure you dont have the amplified system in your car. Some GT's do. Best way to find out is check your pass kick panel next to the glove box for a silver box with two harnesses pluggled into it.

The reason being, the amplified system has 2 ohm speakers (except for the tweeter its 4 ohm). Most after market speakers are 4 ohm. If you install a 4 ohm speaker in a 2 ohm system, your only going to get half the volume out of your back speakers. There are dual voice coil 6.5 speakers out there though.

And another point, the premium sound system is internally crossed over. All 8 speakers are powered on seperate channels and each channel is crossed over internally in the amp. The rear speakers in the OEM set up will only recieve midbass frequencies, so installing a 2+ way speaker will do you no good.

OEM premium sound with after market speakers = sounds like crap.
