I currently own a 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS, which came with a premium JBL 7-speaker system and 6-CD changer. For more than 5 years I've enjoyed the sound immensely. However it appears the front passenger door speaker is on its way out, as I am experiencing a vibration sound during normal use. I believe the cone has ripped, although not totally blown.
As I look into speaker replacements, I'd like to minimize costs (keeping them below $150) Cardomain.com seems to undercut Crutchfield and three possibilities stand out:
JBL Power P652S @ $150/pr
Polk db675 @ $110/pr
Infinity Kappa 652.5i @ $120/pr
Any recommendations on staying with JBL vs. the other two, given the remaining 5 speakers will be the original factory installed JBLs
Also, are most front door speaker installations typical? Crutchfield's instructions look to be heading toward removal of the front door panels to install the replacement speakers.
Anyone own an Avalon that could shed light on how to remove the panels?
