Looking to buy rear speaker

Post by Toyota »

I’m trying my luck and seeing if anyone happens to have an OE rear speaker. The part number on mine is 86160-16041

I replaced my failed (yes, tested with a 9V battery and they were DEAD) rear speakers with some 4 -in. Kenwood component speakers. Even with the stock head unit, the sounds quality is much better.

the factory speakers are okay, but they do wear out. I would not hesitate to buy better quality modern design speakers to replace the buzzing and worn out factory ones. It will add value to the car, being original here adds no value. There is nothing special about the factory speakers, likely there were several suppliers, who ever was the minimum bidder on the last order the factory placed for OEM speakers. They do last a long time, but they are not necessarily Hi-fidelity. You can do much better with a bit of research, and buying off of Amazon (with careful selection), or from your local automotive stereo store.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am one of those strange people that likes replacing everything with original or as close to original as possible. I found an ‘87 in a wrecking yard about two years ago and pulled both rear speakers and they were both dead. I’ll definitely consider a better replacement since I doubt I’ll find a working original.

The problem is the copper wires that go across the top of the cones to the voice coils disintegrate from being in the sun and facing up. Good luck finding working OE speakers. My 3 wagons all had shot rear speakers, and the spares my roommate got were also shot.

If you really want new speakers, you can get them for $100/speaker.
