Guide overview

Before you begin

The tweeter speaker in the passenger side door in a 2004-2010 Scion tC is responsible for sending out frequencies on the higher end, such as high hats, certain high notes in the vocals, etc., in music. With one ceasing to stop functioning, the driving listening experience becomes unbalanced, unenjoyable, and distracting. This guide will show how to replace the tweeter speaker on the passenger side door. After the guide, both speakers will work and create a balanced, enjoyable, and non-distracting listening experience. Before beginning, it is advisable to have your car completely off so as not to damage any parts relating to the door and the speaker.
